I surrender on educating my highly abstract (higher-order generality, generative essence) conceptualizations. The result is no different than if I was writing in the Klingon language. It is pointless here because it is well known that most humans can’t think in abstractions. My bad (mea culpa) for trying to share or teach conceptualizations that readers don’t have the capability or inclination to understand.
Since it seems my upthread generative essence logic is incomprehensible to mainstream minds (perhaps aminorex or other very high IQ lurkers might be excluded, and since I don't yet have free time to compose a well structured essay to try—ostensibly in futility to—overcome the cognitive dissonance), I will attempt to
raise this discussion
down to the primates’
“primitive, post-paleozoic, hunter-gatherer”, hindbrain Twitter soundbite level of reasoning which I surmise commentators here seem capable of semi-cognitively consuming.
CoinCube’s primative folk illogic (i.e. not based on any rational generative essence but we can’t go there because of the incapacity to comprehend) writes that we should err on the side of caution because of the tail-risk that anarchy (a.k.a. free markets, high entropy, or autonomous freedom) could become unstable or otherwise cause great harm if wasn’t balanced with top-down control.
Nevermind that CoinCube doesn’t seem to appreciate that the math that free markets anneal to a plurality of decentralized, top-down control as demanded and supplied by the people in a continuously self-adjusting, highly resilient system (i.e. no tail-risk of collapsing to 0 entropy in a Dark Age as governments do). That generative essence entropy discussion will fly right over his head, at least perhaps until I take the time to make the presentation irrefutable (but even then it might be futile, so I may not even bother because I have more important work to do on actually providing solutions that we all need). One reason that readers have this cognitive dissonance is because they conflate the power wielded by corporations in the capitalist system with free markets in general. Yes it is true that the Industrial Age required large stored monetary capital and only a very small component of individual knowledge capital, thus power was naturally centralized amongst those who could enslave society with money. But the Knowledge Age changes the natural outcome of the free market, because the incentives are realigned by the fact that the primary cost of production has become the indivdual’s knowledge.But wait. There is a simpleton argument I can make. Did CoinCube ever bother to contemplate what about the everyday risk of the top-control control doing harm well before any totalitarian collapse rather just as a normal outcome of the
inalienable fact that centralization of power/control (is a power vacuum that) attracts to the positions of power/control those who will abuse power?

In a prosecution of Italians, this one guy subpoenaed his own phone calls from prison which are all taped. By mistake, they gave him is co-defendant who had turned to be a “rat” I listened to the tape where the prosecutor was telling the rat he needed him to testify against someone else as well. The rat said he did not know that person. The prosecutor replied, “don’t worry, by the time I am done with you, you will know him like he’s your brother.”. The tape was given to Judge Kaplan. He ruled it was irrelevant for that was a different case even though it was the same rat testifying against him. You quickly realize, nothing is real and the press supports the system for they just regurgitate whatever the government tells them.
When there is no means to defend yourself or your property, the game is over – it is checkmate. Society cannot function when there is no means to address corruption. That is where the United States now stands.

This same code of protecting their own exists even more so among judges. After watching the “The Forecaster”, many people are shocked at how Federal Judges are totally out of control, sending emails commenting on new articles appearing on Judge Richard Owen. Far too many judges believe they are some demigod...
Can a simpleton even understand it is insane to hand the keys to sociopaths? And if you build a government more populous than your Dunbar limit, the sociopaths will populate it. How many examples do you need from 6000 years of recorded human political-economic history?
Why can’t OROBTC and most simpletons comprehend that the sociopaths you can’t see because the government is more populous than your Dunbar limit, who are lurking and in control of the government, will offer to prosecute and attack scapegoats to keep you appeased while they retain the control behind the curtain. Reform is always a lie. For example, it was a lie even when Napoleon promised to liberate after the French Revolution. The banksters have always been in control of collectivized government behind the scenes and always will be.
It would be a lot more productive and beneficial to all of us, if we move on with creating the technological solutions we need and stop wasting our time trying to change deeply ingrained (even willfully ego driven, stubborn) cognitive dissonance.
