Replying to Avatar Jameson Lopp

If humans manage to digitize themselves and live on a network in which their essence has no single point of failure, will they finally be able to achieve freedom from government since there won't be a monopoly on violence?

It's kind of already here, IMHO. Gov will persue what they think are threats, but digital self living on a network, may be allowed, on a per user basis. If it gets big, that's a different story. Predator/prey model.

But if you're a "criminal" you get digitised, physical body discarded, and then tortured for eternity. Not looking forward to that reality tbh.

Why would they torture you when they could turn you off? It's an iteresting idea, I'm just thinking out loud.
