They want pumped bags in order to retire. I want circular economies in order to be sovereign. We're not the same

Like the discovery of nuclear power, some will use it to coast on cheap energy, some will make warheads and fight for what they believe in

You can also use cheap energy to increase productivity which helps millions, or billions of people. This is also 'fighting' for what you believe in but w/o the warheads.

Although your argument is definitely correct, without eliminating the threat of violence from the table, it doesn't really work.

If you go for a win via productivity, it all can be taken away with force.

The only way to prevent that is MAD.

But the 'win' has to provide greater benefit to the attacker than the losses.

What I mean is there must be a benefit in money/power/property when you attack someone or kill them.

Also, the increase in productivity gives the defender an upper hand - requiring more resources by the attacker to gain 'something' of value (power/property/etc...).

The ONLY reason we have ever had current warfare is due to fiat currency. EVERY war the last 1000 years has been fought with fiat (printed) money. The loser of EVERY war experienced hyperinflation (their money failed first). There are no exceptions. America did not win WW2, Germany printed themselves into oblivion and could not put fuel in their tanks - so they lost. The solution to WAR is hard money.

Could give 50 examples of technology advances fixing war.

I get your point, but there are ZERO historical examples of your situation. Study the history of gunpowder. The most powerful empore BY FAR at the time rejected gunpowder to build more swords and shields. The opposing MUCH smaller country embraced gunpowder and in a few short years wiped out the massive empire.

I’m already retired. I just want circular economies for the survival of my grandchildren 🫡

You don't have skills, what would your economy be for.

#Bitcoin backed loans will be an attempt to prevent that.

Capital gains tax was also an attempt to to prevent this, but that doesn't matter to people who

1. don't demand dollars in the first place

2. don't import from the fiat economy

The idea is simple, but it isn't easy

I want no government and no government money

That’s what I want 😄😄
