Well you uncoverd the reason to why I belive, what I belive.
> Evolution doesn't need biologists, but people who need to make decisions dealing with the consequences of evolution on epidemiology sure do!
I agree but the question is not if we plan and make dicisions, the question is who makes the plan and dicisions for who.

Well I actually agree that we should let society take care of that (Not trolling I actually agree).
The most broken down version of such a, for a advanced economy would be this (20 min video):
How to provide law and police without state: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTYkdEU_B4o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTYkdEU_B4o
And a more practical discussion about order without goverment you can get here (lecture):

Stats of Anarchy (or self goverments) or something close to it is one of the hot subjects in development economics. About half of the world stats are failed or almost failed states, these are states that do not have the power to efficently do what a policy and law system would do in a first world country. So there most be something else going on, why do the work as well as they do and people are not killing each other all the time.
This paper was quite influential:
"Assume Anarchy? Why an Orthodox Economic Model May Not Be the Best Guide for Policy." Raghuram Rajan (Director of the IMF’s Research Department)
Im not saying that I can prove that the institutonal structure discribed in the videos above (and the reaseach of all the people) would work they way I would want it to but I do think it has potential to improve on democracy.
- dllthomas 14y agoWell, at least you're consistent. :) Anarchist and anarcho-capitalist ideas are fascinating but I'm still more than a bit skeptical.
- nickik 14y agoIm happy when people dont laught when you tell them about it. Somebody beeing 'more than a bit skeptical' is quite a step up. I would point you to everything by David Friedman and Peter Lesson. I think they have done the best work in that area. Edit: If you have questions, the reddit Anarcho Capitalist Subreddit is quite civil as far as reddit goes. So if you have questions you might want to ask there, r/anarcho_Capitalism.
