Ah, finally! One of my favorite books explaining what we currently know about the human mind. You've recommend books to me I've fully enjoyed. I'm glad you're getting to one of my recommendations. :)

they don't have to both be true

I guess I fail to see enough examples where they aren't, eventually. Take the United States as an example. One of the first (only?) nation states to start close to a minarchy. Where did it up end? The largest and most powerful army the world has ever known, building an empire, but doing so with control of the world reserve currency. Eventually, over time, centralized hierarchy systems of power become corrupted. At least, that's what we've seen so far.

If that ends, what we'll have probably won't be called government, by my standards. It'll be closer to voluntaryism, I think.
