The End Of The Nation-State

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


This is something that is incomprehensible to most but it is not too far away. Within a few decades, we are gong to see the demise of the nation-state in our lives.

In this video I discuss how the ability for government to reach into the digital world is going to get tougher as time goes by.

When governments lose control of the currency, the ability to spend at a deficit, they will be curtailed. Enforcement costs money. If they haven't the cash, they will need to prioritize what they can afford to enforce.

Very true.

Governments also face an issue with privacy transactions and other technologies that will be beyond their ability to monitor. After all, much of the digital world will be outside their boundaries.

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.

With cryptocurrency hard to monitor, I recently received a notice from my local cryptocurrency exchange that it has to do a re-verification of all members that include submitting our ID with face recognition online as well as verification of our home address and our intention of using its platform. This was done to the need to apply for a license to operate legally in about two months' time. This is a step to keep a closer monitoring for crypto that can be really hard to track for a country.

I think that the governments may simply just nationalize the tech companies. That is absorb them. In fact, the US constitution explicitly allows for this. It's called eminent domain.

Summary:

In this video, the speaker discusses his perspective on the future of the nation state, suggesting that it is gradually becoming an outdated concept. He predicts that the nation state will become as absurd to future generations as the idea of building walls around cities. The speaker ties this idea to the development of Web 3.0, Global Brain, and Hivemind, explaining that a borderless economic system is emerging. He delves into the evolution of capitalism, emphasizing the role of technology in reshaping economic structures. The speaker posits that a technologically driven, decentralized future is inevitable, with blockchain technology and smart contracts potentially replacing government functions.


Detailed Analysis:

The speaker begins by highlighting his belief in the eventual demise of the nation state, suggesting it will be viewed as absurd in the future. He draws parallels between the present focus on borders and the development of a truly borderless economic system driven by technologies like Web 3.0, Global Brain, and Hivemind. The speaker discusses the maturation of capitalism and emphasizes the need for its evolution, which he predicts will be driven by technological advancements.

Moreover, the speaker points out the advancements made over the last few decades, noting that despite ongoing challenges like poverty, technology has enabled unprecedented access to information and knowledge. He discusses the impact of the decreasing costs and increasing power of computing and communication on global expansion in economic systems.

The speaker then contrasts the slow-moving nature of government with the rapid progress of technology, outlining a vision of a future where technology companies replace traditional government structures. He introduces the concept of a decentralized future, mentioning the formation of blockchain communities and the potential for smart contracts to replace governmental functions.

Furthermore, the speaker touches upon the tribal nature of human thought processes and how this manifests in communities built on various blockchain platforms like Ethereum, Tron, and Hive. He discusses the potential for technology companies to overshadow governments and the implications of a digital centralized phase preceding a decentralized future.

In conclusion, the speaker envisions a future where geographical boundaries become irrelevant, emphasizing the increasing importance of the digital realm. He anticipates a shift towards decentralized models, with cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies playing a crucial role in challenging traditional governance structures. The speaker predicts that over the next decade, the limitations of governments in the digital world will become increasingly apparent as decentralized technologies gain momentum.
