While I idealize an enlightened, stateless society, I recognize that humanity is not yet ready for this, and if we thrust them into such a world, they will descend into savagery.

Yeah, that's mostly my conclusion.
That's why you slowly dismantle the state. It doesn't need to be an overnight thing.
Correct!
Agreed.
I view voluntarism as the compass.
Small , voluntary jurisdictions can work when there is no central bank or moneyprinting, and as long as people are free to use use hard money (Bitcoin) and have several options to vote with their feet.
Game theory predicts that sound policies such as low taxes, property rights, self defense, individual rights, etc will be selected for when people can easily vote with their feet and bring their property with them across borders (Bitcoin).
Central banks and moneyprinting are incompatible with informed consent since only about 1 in a million people will understand how inflation harms them and society at large. When people fail to understand the system they are in, there can be no informed consent under such circumstances.
A voluntarist society is a society based on voluntarism and informed consent, with options to vote with your feet if your rights are not respected. It requires a world of options, a world of different and competing jurisdictions that are not acting as a cartel under a global regulatory or agenda system. Only through competition, local sovereignty and experimentation can we achieve protection of individual rights and freedoms.
Another great argument for Seasteading. The masses stay on dry land and the enlightened get an invite to join... Then after we create a beautiful new world, the masses can learn through our example and eventually join us.
I've made some concepts for seasteading in 3D a few years ago. They aren't fully practical and would need some re-design, but the gist is having floating platforms that can be anchored by the coast, forming voluntary communities that can be connected and separared at will.
Here is the same 3D model without glass and with an added elevator shaft. The idea is having the main apartment below deck and a ladder or elevator in a protected shaft that can access all three levels.
These are beautiful renders! I like all the outdoor space, rustic & full of plants. I'd love for you to post them over at n/seasteading here:
Be sure to join there as a member, as well!
Thank you. I just joined but will have to figure out how to join the seasteading community.
I created a new npub there:
