I can only hope so. This is a problem that has been on my mind for well over two decades.
I want to create a technology that will directly assist in the overthrow of every existing nation state. I would see each replaced with a smaller coalitions of independent states. Repeat until we get down to relatively local government. Any larger state should exist only as an emergent property of said local governments.
Ideally, this transition would be orderly and peaceful, but that’s not strictly necessary at this point. I would gladly suffer a period of violent anarchy than continue to suffer the global tyranny that currently defines human existence.
Unfortunately, I expect this comment does not reflect the majority view and will summarily be downvoted here. The governments of the world continue to provide either enough “bread and circuses” to placate those populations capable of such an uprising, or they already have implemented sufficiently overbearing authoritarian polices (e.g. gun confiscation, restrictions on speech) that it will never be an issue.
- scotty79 5y agoA lot of harm in US is caused by some states having abysmal standard of law in some domains. A lot of people would benefit if there were federal standards introduced in those domains. Power must be smart. Making it more distribute doesn't make it smart. It makes it smarter in some places and dumber in others. And since people don't choose smarter people for their leaders, just louder ... Smart leaders are rare. It's better to draw people to become leaders from larger pool of people and let them govern more people.
