Good exposition of your position on gummint. Thanks for the links!
I am happy to see trends in technological development that tend to decentralization, and hope that indicates that the phase of development that necessitated concentrations of power, whether economic, industrial, or military, is transitory.
Technology such as cryptocurrency, 3D printing, and firearms all strongly disburse power to individuals that was formerly only potential to institutions.
yup.
governments are getting more powerful.
BUT.
individuals are getting more powerful also
AND
Individuals are getting more powerful FASTER than Governments are.
One day the two curves will cross.
Imagine an individual being more powerful than a government.
