@xianc78@hachi@xianc78@ryo If the entire world has a government. Then short of going to Mars, there's no competition for governments. Which means they have more leverage over the population.
@hermit "Absolute freedom for absolutely everyone" is an incoherent principle. Since it means that one can take away the freedoms of another with impunity. By that logic, the entire world is already a libertarian paradise. You have the right to speak up against the leader of North Korea. It's just that he has the right to put you in jail for speaking against him. Just two people using their God-given liberties. Nothing to see here. Move along.
@hermit My solution is, instead of being selfish about it, that everyone has the freedom to do what they want, except for the freedom to boss others about, except if they force someone not to boss others about, except if the person they are forcing not to boss others about was telling someone they can't boss others about, and so on ad infinitum. In mathematical terms: you have the freedom to {deny others the right to}*n do what you/they want, for all even naturals n. "You/they" refers to the last "others" if n>0, The first "you" otherwise.
@moffintosh@moffintosh Hmm. Seems like there are a lot of leaps of faith. Like, where did the Billy Bob real estate monopoly come from? Also, concerning Billy Bob's monopolistic lust for power, see pics related (from Machinery of Freedom by David Friedman, linked in this thread). I think both MoF (from what I've read so far) and the video you linked have the same problem. They both use thought experiments rather than empirical evidence. Cc: @lain
