Anarchism, then, really stands for the liberation of the human mind from the dominion of religion; the liberation of the human body from the dominion of property; liberation from the shackles and restraint of government.
Anarchism stands for a social order based on the free grouping of individuals for the purpose of producing real social wealth; an order that will guarantee to every human being free access to the earth and full enjoyment of the necessities of life, according to individual desires, tastes, and inclinations.

Changing Education Paradigms
I couldn’t agree more with Sir Ken Robinson, world-renowned education and creativity expert, about the state of our education paradigms and how they are in desperate need of changing
Genesis Translations updated to 2.0.0
Yesterday I finally found some time to update my Genesis Translations plugin to match the release of Genesis 2.0. A lot of languages have been updated and a few new ones have been added, but it is still very well possible that your language is not complete.
In other words: we need your help in making the translations complete! Please let me know if I can help you on your way with translating.
Help! WordPress Won’t Do Automatic Updates!
As you may have seen WordPress 3.7 just got released and with it automatic updates. Now, in some cases, people may discover that their particular sites can’t update automagically. In my findings in the sites, we manage for clients the most common reason is that you have had to update WordPress previously by entering your FTP credentials. If you’ve done that once, changes are WordPress remembered those for you, but in this case, those credentials need to be placed in your wp-config.php file in order for the automatic updates to work.
Luckily, all you need to do is add the following:
define( 'FTP_USER', 'username' );
define( 'FTP_PASS', 'password' );
define( 'FTP_HOST', 'ftp.example.org' ); // this usually can be 127.0.0.1If this doesn’t work, you may need to add a few more constants–find more here–but in my experience, this solved all the issues we encountered. If you need help from a WordPress specialist, feel free to contact me.
Why argue with this guy?
Although I have been prevented by outward circumstances from observing a strictly vegetarian diet, I have long been an adherent to the cause in principle.
Besides agreeing with the aims of vegetarianism for aesthetic and moral reasons, it is my view that a vegetarian manner of living by its purely physical effect on the human temperament would most beneficially influence the atoledo lot of mankind.
Albert Einstein
Originally I had the following quote here:
Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet
but as Ozh pointed out that quote appears to be a bit too much paraphrasing Einstein. So, I replaced the original quote by the current one.

Introspection with no means of diversion
Anyone who does not see the vanity of the world is very vain himself. So who does not see it, apart from young people whose lives are all noise, diversions, and thoughts for the future?
But take away their diversion and you will see them bored to extinction. Then they feel their nullity without recognizing it, for nothing could be more wretched than to be intolerably depressed as soon as one is reduced to introspection with no means of diversion.

What is this Europe you are speaking of?
With only 20 days left till WordCamp Europe, I thought it’d be good to refresh everyone’s definition of Europe.
