Saying 'no' is the first part of fixing this, no matter what the fix ends up looking like. You don't have to have all the answers to start. That anarchist, in his/her simple No answer, is exhibiting intelligence and love (because the 'proof of work' of love is bravery), and the statist is exhibiting fear and hatred. Control systems, or just inferior systems, are reliant on fear and hatred.

Most of these 'nuts and bolts' questions can be answered with good engineering. Good engineering is robust, simple, and fault tolerant.

Roads : not really needed at all, if you drive a dirt bike (also extremely fuel efficient, thus "green") or any vehicle with big wheels.

Delivery : most delivery is already superfluous, since we have email and 3d printers. For someone without a printer, drones are already good enough for delivering lightweight objects. Solutions exist.

Food : if you want to be healthy, you never buy food that is grown in a monoculture, and you buy local. This means anarchists are healthier than statists.

And I can't help myself : anarchism is an intelligence test. Low IQ people lack creativity, so they can't problem solve or imagine alternatives. No inventor ever was satisfied with the current state of things. Statism is for morons.

You can still have actual roads in anarchy! You just can’t steal land, money, etc. to make them.

Oh, yeah that's true. Buttt now I'm wondering... Are roads a fiat distortion? They just don't seem necessary to me. And roads exploded all over the place after the federal reserve was established, at least in the US.

All roads should be dirt and unimproved this encouraging unskilled drivers to remain at home😎

Or reducing the cost of their accidents.

A definite distortion. Roads are involuntarily funded. Roads would look much different if this wasn’t the case. I think we would still have roads.

I think there would be fewer roads. More cost effective, placed where needed. I don't see any need for a vehicle inside a town. Suburbia is unnatural and soul crushing.

How do you think goods manufacturing would change?

Fewer roads synergizes with 3d printing. 3d printing synergizes with Bitcoin. Bitcoin synergizes with higher quality goods because people want to save it instead of spend it. The whole thing works together. Imported freight will have to be exceptionally high quality to compete with locally produced stuff from freely available print files. China imports die instantly and completely on a bitcoin standard.

You should write bedtime stories for Bitcoiners

I'm trying to, its soooooo hard!

Humans have always made trails to get from one place to another more efficiently. Even non-human animals do this.

Not to say that there weren’t a lot of β€œlet’s create more jobs!” needless roads made throughout human history. But like so many things the state co-opts and corrupts, I think there is a genuine and innocent human desire for it that we can see fulfilled without coercion.
