It would be cool if roads and bridges just appeared and you could trust people to not be evil. Best you can do is try not to let the system get corrupted. There will always be a system. The alternative is Mad Max. Now the system is corrupt. It will have to turn into a new system. Have no fear, it's dead.

They don't just appear. People can and do voluntary raise the money and resources to produce them. Not government even if it first steals the money to pay people to do it. Government is not the only and certainly not the best system. People build very complex systems voluntarily despite government all the time. Government is a "system" build on self-legalized initiation of force - build on forcing people to do what it says rather than what they think best individually and as a group.

You'd have to sacrifice progress. A centralized planning authority really helps.

I don't think that we have found a good long-term system that doesn't tread on the individual. That's probably mostly due to the minority of people with a criminal mindset that eventually (and inevitably) end up in leadership.

China is full of wonders and well-educated people but we all know what comes with that territory. Worth it? To some, certainly.

Now, we are beginning to see what late-stage capitalism brings. Worth it? To some, certainly.

Star Trek always seemed like they had it figured out. Maybe we just need energy to matter conversion and all the greedy, lying leaders will melt away. I doubt it, though.

I can speak with certainty that #medicine and #science are broken due to #centralized control. They simply redact things they don't want you to know.

A great analogy from my personal life would be the transitions my condition comes with. For years, my body operates one way until it hits a hard limit. Then everything goes to hell for a while until a new way of operating emerges and stabilizes.

Those transitions are tough, painful physically and mentally, because there must be a system, some order, but finding the new equilibrium is painful.

Basically, some transition grows near. We all feel it. We are hitting a limit.

I think those on Nostr are less susceptible to the fog and disinformation. #Decentralization will be a part of the future systems.

Keep growing #Nostr. I know it's something we need.
