Cloudy subject to be honest but you’re entitled to that opinion, in my view it’s wishful thinking though, because I’m not sure if we could fully function as a society in an anarchic system, due to the sheer fact our technology is becoming soo powerful, and no matter what part of history you look at you always have nut jobs on the loose who are driven by narcissistic and power hungry motives.

If you look carefully at the current system we live in and technology, and incentives structures that surround it then it’s no wonder why people are confused, we have a monetary system that distorts our language to transact with each other, which then distorts our ability to find signal and true information in a world of disinformation and noise, when you combine that with technologies such as the internet you start seeing a world in which we see today.

Technology breaks down walls and barriers and empowers people to share their authenticity and uniqueness to the world, it’s completely borderless, that combined with a system of pure disinformation then it’s no wonder why you see certain people seriously debating whether or not a biological man can get pregnant.

If you think anarchy is the answer then I assure you it’s not, strong incentives, strong money, strong leaders and education is the path we need to go down, the morals sort themselves out eventually…

For example, what do we do about 3D printed guns? Let everyone run riot and figure it out? I’d say the vast majority of society are driven by unconscious behaviours which could lead to some dangerous outcomes.

I generally believe anarchy is a better solution than statism. however that means if a group of people would like to form their own governing body, they should be allowed to, because there are no rulers. it becomes an issue if people are forced or coerced to participate in or with that group.

I believe a better monetary system, #Bitcoin , will create a better incentive system to help to prevent the rampant corruption we see today, but only on the monetary system front. people are corruptible to others with lots of money, influence, commodities, etc.

as for crime, there will always be people who take the low road and do wrong, but we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water. even in our current system there is crime and people breaking laws.

What would you propose if it went tits up? Surely statism on a #Bitcoin standard would be completely different to what we see today, I’m in no way saying it’s the answer but I believe that anarchy is without doubt not the answer.

What would we do about the control of 3D printed weapons? Biological weapons? Atomic weapons? Murder rates? Rape? Do we remove all civil servants such as police officers who are funded by the very government we’ve removed?

The only thing I could think of is a liturgy type system which the ancient Greeks used, where taxation was voluntary.

I genuinely just have no idea what the answer would be tbh just curious to see what others would think.

"It becomes an issue if people are forced or coerced to participate in or with that group."

This is pretty much why I have absolutely zero faith in anarchism, because the majority of the world and society is driven by egocentric and unconscious behaviours, it’s a dangerous game in which bad actors would without doubt arrive, our technologies and weapons are becoming too strong, so you would most likely end up forming some form of governing body regardless.

I hear where you are coming from and don't entirely disagree, there are hurdles.

as for 3d guns, there are still normal firearms being illegally bought and sold even with our governance system, so i (personally) think that is a moot point. i think chemical weapons, atomic weapons, etc are probably a better/more realistic concern about removing governance.

money broadly allows people to specialize in skills and division of labor. I believe there will still be detectives, personal or communal protection. but in my opinion using a central government to divide the citizens wealth to the proper channels CAN (not always) usually be done quicker and cheaper had the people done the work themselves, or find someone else specialized in said skill.

I think there is some credibility to the Greek liturgy system or some sort of city state alternative, which *should* in my opinion be opt in.

I don't have any real solutions to these problems, I'm just painfully aware that expecting bought&sold politicians don't have their constituents best interests at heart. maybe a new money with a good incentive structure can fix that, but i don't have faith that the government can course correct itself.

I’m an optimist I ain’t stressing it haha, just trying to get opinions on the matter, I truly believe anarchy isn’t the answer though personally, education, incentive structures and solid money is a start I guess.

im an optimist too! education and #bitcoin seem to be the best shot we got. happy we are here 🫂🤙
