There are a lot of speculation and hypotheses on "how could it work", but end of the day it is just "we are a bunch of people, how do we figure this out together".

If the group is small, say 100 people, no one would shout "Give Kim the power to to bully us around, Alex and Andrea will have guns to force us all to do what Kim decides.", "Oh, and every four years, Sam will select 4 people that we can vote for, to be our oppressive jackboot."

Example of "unregulated solution".

The electronics industry has relatively few government rules, yet ISO9000 standard (quality assurance) has been introduced over the last 30-40 years on a voluntary basis. Few people outside the industry know about it, but it has worked very well to nudge in a system of trust without government enforcement.

Every(!) government program that doesn't reach expected results are said to be underfunded. The beauty of government funding; No incentive to succeed, every incentive to fail and get more funding.

It goes waaaay way back before Sumer even. Babylon was at least centuries after the time of Adam and it's really worth reading The Book of Enoch (I'm part way through it), the things in there are amazing.

Put it this way, if the individual Adam existed, then he was at least predating the founding of Jericho, just to put a timeline on it. And the archaeology points to about 11000 years ago, which is also after the Dryas, which was caused by meteor strikes that slammed into western europe, the atlantic, north america and the eastern edge of the Pacific. So, since that puts a date for the Flood story to be coincident with the onset of the cold period of the Dryas, Adam must have been at least more than 13000 years ago.

This book, The Book of Enoch, was deliberately hidden and burned and forbidden and the ethiopian orthodox church retained it and from there it returned to us. And then it was found amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls as well, and more than a few parts of it are restated in books all through the bible, and many of Jesus' sayings come from it. One I already saw was "the meek shall inherit the earth" and another was the promise after the flood that it would not happen again. (shades of 5th element narrative haha, when they return, so shall we!)...

Anyway, it's more fun to dig it up yourself, but the book The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya stitches together a very interesting story from Enoch, Thoth, Hermes, and of course lots of stuff relating to the Vedas, pointing out how all the myths have more than a few common points that suggests they are derived from original stories far older than is yet recognised.

Atheist here, and reading thousands of years old Harry Potter variants doesn't appeal that much to me (neither does Harry Potter).

Similar thing with "anarchism". The public school teaches that it is "chaos and mayhem", and then there are totalitarian communists that tries to hi-jack the term and there are 20 different flavors of "anarchism" with statist constructs in them. Many are now trying "voluntarism" while others insist on keeping the term to its definition and a third group gone with "anarcho-capitalism" (ancap), which is two corrupted terms.

I got the impression that the word "capitalism" once meant "free markets", but as the laissez-faire beginnings got hi-jacked by the rise of state power, "capitalism" remained the term, although the system eventually evolved into the "soft-socialist welfare state" with strong cronyism elements.

All the woke contingent in Apache is working hard at that too, and the reason I resigned from the Board 2.5 years ago.

But an incredibly small subset of those are sitting on public networks, or even on IT networks within a firm.

Once you are inside the operations networks of production facilities, there is soooo much equipment that has no security at all. People bet that without a "cable" to the Internet, it is much safer anyway.

Yesterday I heard the best argument FOR the drag queen's story hour;

"Better that the 5 year olds in the library learn that it might be a dude under the make-up and dress, rather than the 16 year old in the toilet of a dance club."

I am not sure if it was serious or meant as satire. I took it as the latter.

The main problem is that everyone has their own definition of what capitalism is. And the same thing go for socialism.

Personally I think it is on purpose for the ruling elite to keep us plebs fighting among ourselves, while they laugh all the way to the bank.
