#Bitcoin and a Constitutional Minarchy with Digital Bill of Rights.
Discussion
Yes
Nah, minarchy is both a logical and moral oximoron.
If you cut a tumor out, you replace it with NOTHING
But government is not a tumor. It is an inescapable part of the created order of the cosmos. There will always be governance. And despite the musings of anarcho capitalists, it can be a blessing to a people. The question is not government or no government but rather what kind of government and which methods of restraint are best put in place to keep it from becoming a terror.
It is. Organisation is critical for humanity, and government just means coercive and monopolistic organisation. Everything the government organises top down and coercively can be organised bottom up and voluntary. Don't confuse government with organisation. It's just a very inefficient, immoral and outdated form of organisation.
Small government is a fiction: It will always grow itself, because the 'checks and ballances' are monopolised by the government itself. Whether it's an emergency or some other clever trick, power happy politicians will always break the 'checks and ballances' and grow to an enormous deathly and destructive monster.
A small government is the same as a small tumor or a little heroine: You might be able to handle it today, but it WILL come for you in the future.
This was the practical argument. Now the moral one: Rape is fundamentally bad, so I won't rape everyone everyday, but only the most beautiful woman once a week. 🙃
#Bitcoin is actually a 'checks and ballances' system external to the government, that's why I am so excited about it.
But hey, even if we have a tumor suppressive drug, I still rather get the tumor out
I share this view.
To govern is to rule with authority. Would you say that all rule/authority is bad? Or that civil rule/authority specifically is bad?
