Right at the outset, you say that the solution to the human condition is to recognize that we are ruled by criminals.

That's not the solution. That's the question. It's the right question, and that potentiates the solution.

Steemit is very close to the solution, but it's sadly twisted into a mechanism to profit flashminers, rather than being a voluntarist government. Were stake-weighting to be given over in favor of a more egalitarian VP, it would be a means of governance capable of instituting programs, policies, and development without enabling secret surveillance, blackmail, corruption, or coercion.

There may be some further refinements beyond abandoning stake-weighting that are necessary, but that is essentially the bulk of the impediment to it's functioning as a voluntarist government.

I'd appreciate any thoughts you may have on that matter.

Great show, and there's little I find presented here that I do not wholeheartedly support.

Thanks!

Edit: recently I became aware that in order for prisoners at the local jail to receive visitors, or receive phone calls, they need to fill out a card and provide the driver's license number of the prospective visitor. Even knowing their phone number isn't sufficient.

This is an obvious method of keeping slaves separate from any social support, and validates your assertion of how we are being disabled from maintaining our society outside of the control grid.
