RE: Deconstructing Hierarchical Society into a Technologically Decentric Voluntary System
Some really interesting ideas in here. I hadn't thought of corporations assuming responsibility of maintenance for infrastructure. I often wonder though how much of a difference in control cryptocurrencies will actually make. Certainly governments will lose power, but the bankers they work for, though they may lose power to create money and manipulate interest rates, will still control most of the world assets. Any thoughts about this?
Their power will be reduced, but not completely eliminated. That will require replicators (what you see in Star Trek). 3D printing is a precursor to the idea of replicators. But once you can create any molecular form from the micro to the macro level, money will be completely obsolete and asset reserves will become meaningless.
I see your point although I don't know if I would consume anything from one of those machines without many years of long term testing first :)
But what about land? I assume moving off planet...
I suppose it's good to have hope for my grandchildren. But that still leaves a lot of time for the powers that shouldn't be to do something drastic...
