if ordinals died today and you had to switch focus inside the Bitcoin space, what would you work on instead?
GENESIS
The FDA because it holds a monopoly like the CDC is subject to corruption in ways that would be harder to accomplish if it were market governance.
I recall listening to Bob Murphy and Tom Woods talk about this drug journal that has a very long history of finding issues with drugs 6-12 months before the FDA even looks at them. Some of the issue is with the lack of competition and part is the susceptibility for corruption because of the centralization.
I have a question for you. Do you look at Yelp and Google reviews of a restaurant or do you look up their grade by the health department. Can we not imagine how much better it would be to have multiple decentralized health reviews on restaurants? We have many examples of voluntary private review of businesses.
Another example is lab door. A great resource for looking at the quality of vitamins and supplements. One of the other issue I think of in the area is how the state monopoly and their re-enforcement of the expertise leads people to trust institutions they should be skeptical of. Most people are more skeptical of private businesses but less skeptical of government institutions like the FDA or CDC. I believe we'd be better off with competing institutions that are voluntary. The masses need to be more skeptical. We are conditioned to trust our governments. Businesses have to win our business. The state does not. We should be skeptical of both but the pysop of the state and its education system conditions us against viewing the state as a ruler. The system is designed to make us believe that we are the state. That the government is us. It is not. That's the larger lie.
Keep asking questions. I think the state has helped in some situations. I just believe on the whole the damage has been greater than the benefit. I don't think anyone would argue that if you got rid of one company the world would end, but this is the mentality about the state by its defenders.
