The Future of Anarchism - Our Velveteen Philosophy
In this video, I discuss the future of anarchism and explain that the old logical, economic, and moral traditions are starting to take a backseat to the new interpersonal and emotional forms of anarchism. I site some influential philosophers moving in this direction, and also a book that scientifically defends the emotional position over the moral. In the end, we realize that anarchism is a velveteen philosophy that will recruit many people because of its softer aesthetic and lack of hard logic.

Hey Sterlin.
I really appreciate what you said about "moral emotion" and intuition.
I don't agree with everything in the video, however, as many times emotions can be misleading, and propertarian grundnorms are absolutely essential to the minimization of violence in society.
I think maybe you are doing yourself a small disservice by differentiating what you are talking about (indeed, I have felt it and live by it myself) from logic. It reminds me of the "hunches" mentioned by Einstein. Where does the experimenter get his hypothesis? Many times correct hypotheses (or at least their nascent stage "relatives") come from a place we cannot quite explain.
We feel things about people that we cannot quite explain. I think often this is a part of logic that is simply beyond the pale of our scientific understanding at this point.
I like the term "EQ" as well, in reference to emotional intelligence.
All this said, the moment propertarian groundnorms based on the immutable and objective reality of self-ownership are cast aside (not necessarily saying you are doing/advocating this) the results can only be more violent conflict.
Upvoted at 100% and looking forward to more.

if the aesthetics and logic values combined will make the better, let alone the emotions can be well controlled coupled with hard work, will produce something very important in life today and the time that will, especially in business if all things are involved, it will give birth to a generation which can be relied upon in the future, successful greetings.
wow best video
Thank you for your views on anarchism...
nice video ^^
Good stuff.
The following is pure anecdotal, but may be useful:
I work with a model that anarchists range from far right ultra anarchists to the social anarchists of the far left. Right anarchists are typically interested in individual constructs. The relationship anarchy is of lesser interest, but does have a quantum of significance to the right of center. Right of center anarchists view relational anarchism more in the area of individual exchanges. The left anarchists feel a need to make exchanges more deeply interpersonal and lasting.
I think the blossoming, you are experiencing is a discovery of a type of anarchy. This isn't separate from values that occur in economical anarchy models. The current models recognize subjective value, and if your value system places relationship and interpersonal experience, aesthetic, and poetics as primary, that is surely what you build your constructs with.
There probably does need to be a awareness in boundaries of types of anarchy. Often Larken will talk about the 'feels' thing. I have sparred with enough minds of the left to uncover something that might be useful. It appears people on the left have something I call 'Social Objectivity'. I am not saying it is right or wrong, it just appears to be a concept that flows from a social sense of Praxeology and Epistemology.
This is different from the rational, property, logical, economic types of anarchism. That is based more on what I call 'Empirical Objectivity'.
Anarchists in the middle have a mix of both Social Objectivity and Empirical Objectivity, but vary considerably about each.
