I do think your analysis is spot on. It lacks some factor for non-linear impulses. Maybe I find the article, about a professor that researched around social tipping points through spontaneous network impulses.

Think humans writing each other on social media. His studies were used to find control and surveillance measures to stop spreading the wild fire of ideas outside the well crafted overton window. It's not so much that they want to censor individuals. They regulate the amplitude.

However you give too much credit to the AI powered central planners. Every living system hasan weakspot to dismantle the whole thing (think Achilles).

We are going through a paradigm shift and all those perimeter controls behind the scenes seem necessary to maintain power, which tells me there is a window of opportunity of redefining some fundamental human interactions.

Nostr, Bitcoin, Monero are social structures, tools and techniques that get discovered as the need for them increase. As long as they stick to principles they can be used as leverage at any point in time in the future, which brings us to markets that somehow will need to factor in the tail risk of a spontaneous global discovery of said tools.

Self custodied BTC waking up and atomic swapping into Monero in the millions is one such thing they currently couldn't efficiently stop. It's our duty to have the tools (AMM, DEX, atomic swaps) available to facilitate spontaneous healing.

That's why I said the short cut for BTC to reach $1M is swapping 10% for Monero.

I believe in natural corrective forces in a world based on polarity. Any future potential of economic liberation will be realised sooner or later, no matter the walls you build around it.

You might like this podcast. I'd like to hear your stance on state avoiding and state repelling (creating enforcement costs higher than gains from taxation).

OK, I watched some of the presentation. He lost me when he said: "I don't believe the State is a cabal of bad people. It's an evolutionary strategy. The cat that eats the mouse is a result of evolution, it's not someone's design." 😂

I have looked in Zomia very briefly, but need to do more research on it.

Mark Passio's Natural Law Seminar is great:

I think it's quite clear it is someone's design.

Yeah, agree that's some weird analogy.

Are you familiar with societal evolutionary concepts like "spiral dyanmics"? In that sense his point probably is, that at one point in time states or state like structures are an ineviatble part of societal evolution.

Besides that I was more thinking about the philosophy, strategies and consequences of becoming "state repellent".

Was not familiar, read the TL;DR just now.

On a long-enough time-frame, most things are going to be inevitable, at least in some places. You'd still want to delay being a slave as much as possible though.

The moment you acknowledge a constitution, and need to rely on one to protect your God-given rights, you're well on your way to being a slave.

The moment a central bank is created, you have rulers and slaves.

I think a lot of it has to do with making it expensive for the state to control you as the guy in the video said.

I have mostly researched this from an investor point-of-view, but should definitely do some Game Theory and write about my findings. Maybe the book that analyzes the Zomia region is a good starting point ( "The Art of Not Being Governed: An Anarchist History of Upland Southeast Asia" by James C. Scott ).

"Government is nothing but men acting in concert.

The Morality and value of Government, like any other association of men, will be no greater and no less than the Morality and value of the men comprising it.

Since Government is nothing but men, its inherent 'authority' to act is in no way greater or different than the 'authority' to act as individuals in isolation.

Government has no 'magic powers' or 'authority' not possessed by private individuals.

Let he who asserts that Government may do that which the individual may not assume the onus of proof and demonstrate his contention."

Bruce Maguire has recorded some great podcasts on this and adjacent topics. This one is great:
