This article left me wondering.
What happens if you put a small group of modern people in relative isolation outside any legal jurisdiction, and ask them to create their own legality? Also you tell them to check their references and their books, even read the New Yorker; it's not a Lord of the Flies scenario. Would they be able to revert to "cavorting", or will they immediately elect a major and build an office complex so that they can toil from 9:00 to 5:00 in some deeply civilized paperwork?
- kuu 5y agoIn a sense you can see that in some online servers. For example, here in my country, a few months ago a group of streamers started a Minecraft server where they all play. They are divided in 3 towns of around 10 people each. What is funny is that in one of the towns, one of the first they created was a "god" that they worship. Then they created boundaries with other towns and a "customs" at the border. They later elected a mayor for each town... It's interesting to see how they mimic and create these structures when they're not actually needed.
