The real question is why anyone would push their property claim to the absurd state where they are destroying their own income, as in the scenario. There are privately owned toll roads and canals that

RE: A decentralized solidary group as an alternative to health insurances. Artabana.
I am a member of something similar in the US. It's called Medi-Share, or My Christian Care Ministry, and it's not insurance, but a medical cost sharing community. It's been operating since the 1990s, but

I was not denigrating a big picture view in any way, shape, or form. I had thought I was agreeing with you, but possibly not. I had understood you to be saying that we--all of us--need to be better people

I like your point about building community and individual and group integrity rather than wasting energy on activism. As George Herbert said, "Living well is the best revenge." But that 'living

This is very well done. And what a fascinating hook you've created with the self-correcting, time-manipulating blockchain! I usually don't like time travel stories as they give me a headache with all the
