As a computer science person, a programmer, a "systems thinker", frankly I find this talk embarrassing because of how extraordinarily out of touch it is. Like, the logistics of meatspace don't exist. As if information was all that was necessary for people to feed their lives. Wake up, go outside, please. People need food, shelter, housing, transportation, jobs to be productive at, medicine. We need agriculture and trade of goods and services. We need energy and protection, courts, passtimes, identity, and religious outlets. Blockchain and the internet don't have police. They don't provide any meatspace service, and couldn't, in their disembodied unreality. There's no system of justice that pops automatically out of some blockchain feverdream. The internet doesn't spring up from the ground and twist its wires around lightpoles. Nation states are not going anywhere, ffs. Meatspace needs governance and logistics that aren't pushing buttons on keyboards.
