Hello, thank you for this insightful perspective. I am curious about the alternative you would consider to governance in the absence of institutions centralising authority. There exist many frameworks that seldom have been experimented with, except in small scale, among others: > Direct democratic representation could exist in small city-states, as long as citizens spend a consequential share of their time fulfilling civic duties, thus sacrificing other activities for the sake of being involved in the governance process. > A state of anarchy (with no socio-political hierarchy), where communities/families would be self-governing and autonomous, assuming they would be peaceful enough to maintain the balance.
Are there other options that could stand human psychological biases, and practically cope with modern-time capacities (such as with the internet, complex interdependent global markets, etc.)?

Hi Jeanne. Welcome to the EA Forum.
I like libertarianism.
