  • My bad. I incorrectly assumed that the above terminologies were common knowledge. I should’ve provided direct links. Well, here they are:

    Difference between nations and states

    Definition of a “nation-state”

    When I talk about nations and states, I talk from the perspective of these definitions. As you can see, they’re not really synonyms. It’s not squabbling about terminologies. If we have a different understanding of what different words mean, then our logical arguments are going to look very different. I’m not saying that your definition is wrong or whatever. I’m just clarifying how I define these terms in my arguments. That way, you can understand what I mean to say.

    As for the “questions” you posed… I’m not sure exactly what answers you want me to provide. I already told you that I do believe that states need to exist. We’re in agreement there. I just don’t think that it’s healthy for society to divide itself among different nations. Seems quite a waste of mental space, resources, etc. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯



  • How about the concept of a nation itself ceases to exist? How about free movement of people, very weak states, consumer cooperatives as the only capital controlling entities who are allowed to buy labor only from worker coops? Economic democracy, competition, choice and so on?

    How about a world without kings and non consented rulers, a world where we stop wanting to conquer each other, and instead focus on conquering the limits set on us by nature? How about a world where we build a Dyson swarm, solve interplanetary, interstellar, and dare I say intergalactic travel?

  • A good way to present surveillance pricing as illegal is to give it the discrimination angle (based on race, sexuality, religion, practically everything).

    Individuals belonging to these different classifications tend to share certain similarities in their purchasing habits. My guess is that this would result in measurable pricing patterns for folks depending upon their race/sexuality/religion, etc. Which would be discrimination.

    Hence, my guess is that this doesn’t even need to be legislated by Parliament. A lawsuit by someone motivated enough could bring this down. Any legal folks here who can validate this?
