Wrong. We don’t need a state. We need rules, we need structure/hierarchy, we need elites that people want to look up to.
None of that necessitates a State.
Think of Balajis Network State built on nostr with Bitcoin as Proof of Stake for participation - that’s not a State, that’s an entirely new way of being
It doesn’t, but I just can’t see how it wouldn’t, hence the reference to it being a pendulum swing, you want rules without rulers, but also a hierarchy of people of with importance…
Let’s say technology gets out of hand, a 17 year old kid develops a bomb to inflict harm, what system is better equipped:
1. A collective group of elites who are top of the hierarchy to control impose control measures like security?
2. An anarchic society who wants nothing to do with rulers, allowing the opportunity for power projection?
You sir, have the foundation of a state, albeit if based upon the values discussed a good one.
I know what the most likely outcome will be chosen.
Ignore the first control lol
