My question for Bradley:
Could you please comment on the idea that conflict is unavoidable feature of life, but that it would be possible for higher beings' conflicts to transcend the material into the realm of the symbolic, and that Bitcoin could be a step in that direction?

Like, imagine a world with tens of thousands of sovereigns that all have nuclear weapons and, even more dangerous, teleportation devices.  Would it be unstable and end in extinction in short order?  Would the most merciless, aggressive sovereign take over? Or an alliance of them?  How would Bitcoin affect that?
The reason I ask is that, since nuclear energy, there have been more and more technologies that are so powerful they could be used as WMDs but they can also lead to incredible abundance.  Binary fate.  Just like Bitcoin eh?
