If I am not the boss of you, and you aren't the boss, then someone else is the boss of you. Did I miss something?

If I am not the boss of you, and you aren't the boss, then someone else is the boss of you.
Did I miss something?
- zem 2y agoyeah - the need for a boss in the first place. there simply isn't one.
- mrayycombi 2y agoBosses exist because they will themselves into it. Bosses aren't invented by rational necessity. Bosses make themselves boss. There's no need for anarchism either.
- soulofmischief 2y agoIf zem and I were in a room by ourselves, I don't think either of us would try to be "boss". Only once someone who supports such power structures, such as yourself, enters the picture, do we have to start protecting ourselves against such people. Have you read Lord of the Flies?
- mrayycombi 2y agoYou may be right. You and Zem can live on an island in your anarchist utopia. Back to reality there are more bosses everywhere your philosophical position won't wish out of existence. You have a job, don't you?
- soulofmischief 2y agoI'm self-employed, and the existence of a top-down hierarchical power structure is not evidence that one is necessary. We're also now several straw mans away from the original argument.
- mrayycombi 2y agoI assert that necessity is self created. The Romans made themselves your boss. There was no "rational" necessity. Bosses come into existence by will, not logic. The world is irrational. Strawman are legitimate forms of persuasive argument, logic is for Spock.
- soulofmischief 2y agoThere is nothing legitimate or persuasive about the flawed argument you're presenting.
