About the Author
-
William Schnack is a free thinking mutualist and a truth-seeking pantheist who writes about topics such as cosmology, biology, history, and social philosophy with an emphasis on the emerging capacity for humans to engage with one another voluntarily, consensually, and reciprocally. He considers his views to be non-political and Far Center, taking insight from the Far Left, the Far Right, and everything in between. That is, after all, the very nature of a truth-seeking free thinker.
Schnack has authored five books and a board game, all of which have been released with a Creative Commons license, being mostly free cultural works. Aside from this, William has been a drummer in hardcore punk rock bands and a part-time homesteader, otherwise working regular wage jobs at a vegan restaurant, a Vietnamese sandwich shop, a consumer-owned health food co-op, and a producer-owned urban farming co-op. He eats a majority-vegan diet and lives a near-vegan lifestyle, having had been fully vegan for 10 years but having since taken up raising his own egg-laying fowl and dairy animals, eating lacto-ovo sourced from his own livestock raised on his own smallhold. He continues to boycott the commercial meat, egg, and dairy industry, believing veganism to be the appropriate choice where ecology does not demand otherwise, such as in urban environments.
What is Ambiarchy?
Ambiarchy describes the symbiotic mutualism between anarchists and non-anarchists, and their resulting institutions, which can be equally and simultaneously regarded as models of good government and of anarchy de jure. It is a panarchy synarchically-led by anarchists; paleomutualism for the postmodern condition.
Ambiarchy is established upon the metaphysical premise of Ambitheism

This blog uses the concept of anarchy. Anarchy, as used in this blog, does not refer to a condition of disorder, chaos, or disunity. Instead, anarchy refers to a condition of order, structure, and unity without the presence of a ruler, someone or a group of someones who establish(es) rules that others must follow without those others’ prior consent having been given. This is a colloquially uncommon definition, though many of the other definitions used on the site are also different from their colloquial one, while still more are in fact colloquial.

Please Keep an Open Mind and be Polite
While here, I ask that you maintain the proper etiquette of a free and critically-thinking truth seeker. This can be achieved by following this sequence:
- Actively Listen – Read, watch, or listen with the intentions of being able to paraphrase what has been said. This helps to ensure that what has been said is well understood, enough that one may repeat it.
- Suspend Judgment – Before criticizing or dismissing, grasp what is being said in its own context, and what is meant by the speaker. Don’t look immediately for flaws, but focus on comprehending what is being said and what the intentions of the speaker are.
- Critically Think – Consider what has been said, and whether or not it is in line with those things understood to be more fundamental. If so, decide where the adjustment should be made to your beliefs, whether the thing is truly fundamental or not, and if the other thing is right or wrong because of it.
- Constructively Criticize – If you think there is something wrong, criticize with the intentions to be constructive, and offer an alternative to the position you are criticizing. Ask yourself if you are fairly applying your criticism, and if it would also be true if used against you.
- Nonviolently Communicate – Communicate in manners that are not aggressive or attacking, but which are open, polite, and considerate.
