mircea_popescu: this is where bogus da claims meet bogus crowdthinking expectations. facts are on the other side of the river.
mircea_popescu: hah! i recall arguing with people in 2012 about how silkroad isn't really all that big.
mircea_popescu: and then pretend as if this braindamaged mess is due some credit or recognition or something.
mircea_popescu: much in the style of bitcoin retardation, they strive to half implement the half of a good solution they understood,
mircea_popescu: last i looked at it it was still broken, because god forbid they actually specify anything.
mircea_popescu: all he has to say is "please use our braindamaged reimplementation" ? no mention of anything, just like that, idiot garzik has invented the world.

mircea_popescu: irrespective of that, the best and most general formulation of the limits placed on governments (all, no exceptions) by the social contract is that they may only act for cause (ie, react). agency is strictly reserved to the individual, and in that the individual is superior to the state, ie, more of a person.
mircea_popescu: notably the governments of today attempt exactly the same magic. "science" is now supposed to be the will-less, intention-less, choice-less engine that allows government agency without sin. at least in theory.
mircea_popescu: they came up with this constructed agency which was somehow magically devoid of will, intentionality or choice. obviously a lame duck (even to them), but otherwise the problem is irresolvable.
mircea_popescu: indeed. the problem of divine agency (how god managed to create the world w/o becoming the devil) is the biggest problem scholastics failed to solve.
