Read "A Spontaneous Order" (Rachels) and "Chaos Theory" (Murphy) for answers to those very good questions.

Obviously, the "answers" are going to bake-in some optimism about the approach, but particularly Spontaneous Order does a very good job of starting from a completely blank slate and building up from there.

Well we aren't starting from a blank slate. That's part of the issue

Let's just say you create a new country with no govt where everyone has to have insurance for crimes to enter. Say 1 btc. So then if I commit any crime some or all my btc is taken. Then if I lose all the btc I am killed. Maybe that can work, if the escrow is somehow funded and doesnt become corrupt and somehow you fund tbe executioner and the overseer of the executioner and the democratic process that ensures the overseer doesn't become corrupt... see where it goes?

Too much to go into here if it's late for you and you're getting tired. briefly:

I meant that he builds up the argument from first principles. Not a "transition plan" from blank slate society.

I agree we're not starting from a societal blank slate, but I DO believe we can prototype ideas like this in blank-slate digital simulacra. And those experiments will be interesting.
