Yes but would that open the door to an equivalent predatory state taking over the US?

Star Trek shit

We're basically twice as prosperous as anyone else now, so I don't think it's unreasonable to think we'd be twice as prosperous as we currently are.

Beyond frustrating.

The grand old Victorian homes built in the late 1800s give a hint at what we lost

Have you read Saifedean’s “The Gold Standard”? It could happen- or close to it - this century.

I wish there were in depth science fiction, based on this concept. Post sound money standard and the free market that follows. Impossible to predict how much productivity has been stolen through fiat theft, would we have cities on mars at this point or much more. Examples of the endless financial ...

If we had that there'd be no Federal government at all, no income taxes, no monopoly on the courts. In due time though. Libertarian revolutions are a beautiful thing.

You have a tariff for this

They were never supposed to. They're run by the Jesuits.

I always bat this idea around. Is it NOT a free market? In a free market would there be warlords? Would there be Machiavellians orchestrating the disorganized majority? If one doesn't think so, I would suggest a free market is a utopian idea. A non reality, counterfactual. OR The other option is...

Not so hard to imagine. Just watch a movie from the 60s. Although even then markets were not entirely free.

Imagine that freedom at the whole humanity scale. Imagine a world with no tyrant and only civilized people since the beginning of minkind. I often think about that, and how far we would already be. The "unseen" is unimaginable IMO

Each election americans have to choose between old decrepit stupid keynsian zionist boomers (like Trump), or leftists communists. Most americans are retards and miss the real solution, or they think Bitcoin is a scam. At this point I just say fuck society and fuck people.

Free markets let value find its most efficient path without toll booths at every turn. What we've built on Lightning gives us a glimpse at that permissionless prosperity, even at micro scale.
