I wish I could believe that. I really wish that. But you're arguing against a point that wasn't my point. Straw man, though I've seen worse examples.

States **_will_** have infinitely scalable violence. And we're helping them get that, since immutable money reduces material costs.

**_The state_** is not necessarily the current state. You're right that they undergo evolution, but the constraint is not the appeasement of the people, but rather their ability to extract value from the people without being challenged. Those are close, but not the same. If you start building drones and loading facial recognition software on them and assassinating people, you may be hated by everyone, but it won't matter because you have the power. You will become the state.

I am trying to **_avoid_** this happening. You're wasting my time because you argue the premise without solutions. You miss the forest for the trees. Get with the program, man. Tell me I'm wrong **_after_** we make this future impossible. Until then, you are actively aiding the enemies of liberty.
