RE: The End Of The Nation-State

You make a lot of good and salient points here about how the nation-state system is failing and how people are gravitating towards a decentralized economic (and informational) paradigm. Especially important I think is the fact that change is possible, even though most people are locked into a mindset that the current system is immutable.

You're right about the technical difficulties that governments have shutting down digital currencies, mesh networks, satellite connections and the like, but those of us older people who have experienced the heavy hand of government regulation for decades know just how draconian the government measures can be when pushing back against people seeking change. Its been almost 30 years since Bill Clinton tried to push the Clipper Chip on us and they are still trying to this very day.

I think your message is a good one. Change is needed and inevitable but its going to take a concerted effort by all of us to make it a reality.
