It's a bit dormant but we'll be back someday, you'll see.<br /><br />"SEK3" was Sam's preference of a tetragrammaton, definitely not SEKIII, and he used others for regular writers in his New Libertarian stable, like WMcE for Wendy McElroy, but I digress.<br /><br />When I was writing a radio spot in the name of the Institute for a privacy information 900 number (in partnership with a cousin of Randy Weaver) on an AM talk station covering ten rural counties near Chico, California (at about the time I was a private in the Butte County Militia), I asked SEK3 how "Agorist" should be pronounced. He said uh-GORE-ist. So that's how I pronounce it, in accordance with the Father of Agorism.<br /><br />Now I realize that there are deviationist scumbags and fellow travelers out there with advanced degrees in philosophy and ancient Greek language that may have a different opinion.<br /><br />I'll change my mind when they can prove me wrong with audio recordings from Before the Common Era (none dare call it Before Christ anymore).permakenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07281465826940745571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353225052029668680.post-65090493956040730872010-12-14T13:34:07.959-08:002010-12-14T13:34:07.959-08:00Darn thing wouldn't post my comment due to a &...Darn thing wouldn't post my comment due to a "browser cookie error."

And indeed, that...Well, its all a spectrum as well. And indeed, thats how the two separate pronunciations began, but its certainly interesting to note the coincidental splits that have been part of various pronunciation-adherent.<br /><br />Would you be interested in collaborating to publicize your agorist business in order to help inspire other counter-economists and anarchists to be more public as well? I'm of the belief that there are many people who would love to get involved, but don't know where to make the connections or don't feel inspired to take the first step into the public light and am looking for people willing to provide that inspiration while I build the network for those connections. If you're concerned about your safety from the state, we can work together on what information is released and what is kept secure, so that a profile of agorist business is still released.<br /><br />And by the way, you hold the distinction of being the first comment on the Alliance's blog.

I pronounce it A-gor-ism, not b/c of any affiliation but b/c that is how I said it in my head when I first read the word and that is what stuck... ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
