@llabball fair question, but what a great milestone for humanity when wisened communities can smoothly self-organise without needing a ‘state’ to mediate? Across the world ‘state’ is synonymous with tribalistic, power-grabbing, self-important, out-of-touch bureaucrats. As an industry, the ‘state’ has latched onto the most powerful business model: heighten your primordial fears, sell you security/nirvana, and divert your money to entrench its negotiating power at the next sales event (election, if that). Meanwhile, the ‘state’ is the biggest enabler of the rigged economy: when did the state last shift tax-payer money to bail out your startup misadventures, or print money to credit your little balance sheet, or cut you slack on your real tax-rate, let alone invite your opinion at the advisory council on the economy? ... ended up with a long-winded response/rant so thought it better to spare PH folks the stress and expand my thoughts with a rare post on medium if anyone is curious: https://medium.com/@wahome/think... not clickbait, but might interest @antonsekatski @arisalexis @inventitorfixit @kjer
