RE: How blockchain will actually make democracy work

Rather than trying to polish the turds of technology and politics with more technology, I think it's a better idea to let control systems using man/Ai made rules crash, which will take those dependent upon them out when they go down.

I know this sounds horrible but agriculture, money, religion, and the hierarchy those unsustainable systems create is devolving humanity physically, mentally, and spiritually. Those man made rule systems place middlemen in between the people and their resources and anonymize the actions of the middle men in the process. This makes it possible for factories to sell chemical tainted meat year after year because the end users are so separated from the supply.

To make things worse, the slavery systems become like living beings with an instinct to survive and end up creating conditions that grow more slaves. This is why humanity is in the mess that it's in. The slavery systems have grown too many slaves, now something has to give.

I opt out of all associations and government and choose to meet my needs directly whenever I can. I don't want roads and I won't pay to drive on them, but when all of the land is owned and the only way to move freely is by the gaps in the fences that we call roads, how is their any freedom?

Democracy is stupid because most people are stupid. Any man made rule or resource distribution system will result in corruption because psychopaths don't care about man's rules and will ignore them, giving them unfair advantage.

When we rely upon Nature's rules, and live as nomadic, minimalist, hunter/gatherer/scavengers, like the rest of Nature, the only tool the psychos have is violence. Violence is easy to see and eliminate from the gene pool. A guy taking a few grand from another guy to put some poison in your water before he sells it to another guy, that then sells it to another guy, and then....and so on, is not likely to get noticed or caught whereas a psychopath singleton dumping fluoride in the community well would be an easy investigation to solve.

Civilization, living in cities and forming groups that decide how resources should be distributed and how people should live, disconnects people from the resources they need to survive and thus empowers psychopaths. Political systems remove personal responsibility from people's minds, turning them into exploited slaves that are dependent upon their slave masters.

In Nature's resource based economy, if the river is being over fished, you either fish less, move, or voluntarily reduce the size of your tribe through intelligent breeding practices. If a psychopath is born or raised, he's not going to make it very far before his tribe is sick of his crap and banishes or kills him. Nature's rules are not breakable and tend to sort things out in a sustainable way whereas man made rule systems are just power up schemes for the psychos that have been running the show since the dawn of agriculture.

Blockchain or not, as soon as some people decide that they have a plan that's better than the plan that allowed our species to survive a few mass extinction events, shit's going downhill in terms of freedom and sustainability.

Everything you learned in school was regarding these devolved slave humans and methods to control them. I'm postulating that if we dissolve all of the systems that detach humanity from Nature and community, that our species can begin evolving again.

Thanks for your reply. I don't agree with it, but it took me some time to phrase it. I guess it boils down to the idea that people WANT to collaborate on the goals they want to achieve. If we can design our society in such a way that such collaborations are promoted (unless they are impinging on other people's rights), I think it is a good thing.

If you don't agree with everything I stated it's because you are uninformed. Every statement I made above can be backed by piles of scientific studies and quotes from the greatest thinkers Earth has seen. It's all fact.

I agree with the second part of your comment but I've never seen a collaborative effort consisting of more than 150ish people that doesn't impinge upon others' rights in some way or another. I'm not saying it's not possible though, just that I've never seen an example of a sustainable and ethical large collaborative effort.
