I was also a spook working in military intelligence the whole time. Chinese linguist working for the… gasp… NSA (at some point). You really got me there!

I aim to fool no one. What else would you like to know?

Governments will always exist. They just need to be the smallest form possible, the individual. Ultimately code will be law and already is in many ways.

A government are those that hold the monopoly on violence for dispute resolution in the context law, usually in a geographic area. With immutable mathematics as law, dispute resolution in the physical realm should become rarer than in time past. But rare does not mean extinct.

Humans are also biologically tribal due to our comparatively weak physical stature and biology. Safety in numbers. Social interaction is a courting ritual for humans, if you’ve no offspring, your ideals and genetic existence dies with you.

I know you’re the ultimate mountain man in your solo citadel and I wish you the best with that. Historically this mentality is the exception and not the rule, hard money or otherwise.

For me, I’m counting on like minded peaceful warriors to stand up for sovereignty when the beast comes to the door.

Don’t fight instinct. Don’t deny reality.
