I wish we could engage in full combat without permanently hurting each other. Imagine full contact sword fights, real self defense encounters and training, milsim

Maybe it would end war. I guess maybe video games, sports, and academia are doing that anyway..

Fighting with one of those force-field shields from Dune, except it's made totally impenetrable, would be awesome

War (large scale combat) is a product of the state. Not a natural human urge.

States arise by nature.

They arise by sin, having a state means you reject God as King and supreme law giver- so that would be “unnatural” in the sense I meant.

I would think this would be mainline ancap philosophy?

States are permissible under anarchy if they are voluntary

I would name that something other than "state" using the Rothbard definitions.

I guess the way I’m using it leans more towards the scientific definition.

Yeah it’s basically a glorified insurance company at that point

Yeah like in Rothbards for a new Liberty

That's 100% true! A lot of the combat metas aren't properly explored just because of stupid rules like "don't bite off someone's ear off" or "don't kick someone's knee backwards the moment they lock their weight on it."

It doesn't really make for good repeatable practive when these things are allowed unfortunately.
