We don’t need to go back to a whole vacuum of power. We actually have rules, rules to transact value and they work, without the interference of anyone else.
To take this and make rules that coordinate our social life can be complex. But the possibility increases with subsequent technologies like the internet, torrents, bitcoin, nostr.
We can have rules without rulers.
Is not just about chaos.
Or I’m very naive, believing people have learnt from the past and will use technology for the good of others and everyone.
I choose to believe.
And having a belief is fine. I myself wish that the world could live together in peace and harmony, but ever since homo erectus trekked out of the savannah in Africa and formed family tribes they have warred against each other and against other species for food and other resources in order to establish dominance for "their" tribe.
Sadly nothing has changed. Once any particular tribe has gained power they will never willingly give it up.
IMHO the best way forward is for you and your tribe to live as free from government overreach using agorist principles as much as you can.
