No. In hindsight for you. That's a big difference.

Because you put trust and faith in the church/state. Trust in centralised entities gets exploited every single time. There is no way around it.

I really applaud your foresight , I just can't believe the conspiracy theories ..

As for your point on state and church I don't seem to understand what is the grand plan here ? Are you saying you can live without state (or faith for that matter?) .. You may be a monk , I am not ! And fortunately , I dont have any such personal experiences that make me turn faithless - God has been kind and state has been good so far .. minor issues are always there in any system and we are supposed to improve the system ..

Btw - if we dont trust the collective than we can't even trust our own mind - a collective of 100 trillion cells .. so

Being permissionless is a welcome improvement on centralized systems , read META or Google .. but it is NOT a proxy for law, governance and collective wisdom ..

Either the law can stop it or it can't. If it can stop it, it is centralized and is not permissionless.

If the law can't stop it, then it is decentralized and permissionless.

Can't be both.

Though you should be able to choose if you want to heed collective wisdom, or not...not forced. All break-through revelations for humankind happened first by questioning "collective wisdom"

The word conspiracy theory has a different meaning for you and for me. That's all. Get rid of the world and become an observer of the things going on around you. Sometimes labels create order other times they create confusion. You want your observations to be above those labels.

Collective and individuals are an illusion. It's a powerful dance swinging from one to the other and back. Yin-Yang.

Has nothing to do with individual VS collective

Everything to do with voluntary VS coercive

You can voluntarily be part of a collective, or coerced by force to be alone in a cage

The state is by definition a monopoly on violence (even the right to defend yourself from aggressors is always under increasing attack). They can produce nothing without first taking it from others.
