Arch-anarchy:Theory and practice

  This article aims to expand on some of the ideas in the text " arch-anarchy" republished from Extropy magazine. First of all, I believe that the nation-state is doomed to fall in a few years to the decentralization of the economy, and distributed computing networks (bitcoin, smart contract, etc.), should make large hierarchical structures economically unviable in a few years , and in place of nation-states we will have an anarchist market society.Maybe I'll publish an article expanding on. Now, how can we free ourselves from the laws of nature? well, I have a theory, the microdimensional domain proposed by John Barrow, and an idea of how to measure technological development. is an alternative to Kardashev's scale is the fact that humans (or other civilizations) have found it more economical to extend any abilities to manipulate their environment into smaller and smaller dimensions rather than larger and larger dimensions.The most advanced type of civilization on the

Extremophile life as a solution to the Fermi paradox

Imagem
  For decades scientists have debated the following topic, how come we don't find life beyond Earth in such a vast universe? This is the so-called Fermi paradox, and many solutions have been proposed, well, I'll show you mine . Researchers from   search for extraterrestrial intelligence  ( SETI )   generally try to look for alien life by looking for earth-like worlds, well at least within the habitable zone of a star, now maybe the problem is that we are not thinking far enough. Perhaps life outside of Earth is so radically different from what we know to the point that it challenges our understanding of what "life" is, making it difficult to find or contact it. Now let's extrapolate how different it could be  :    In 1973, astrophysicist Frank Drake suggested that intelligent life could live inside neutron stars, based on this, American physicist Robert Forward published a speculative fiction book in 1980  " Dragon's Egg "  which deals with a first c

MORALITY OR REALITY

 By Max T. O'Connor  [Editor: This article is reprinted from Extropy  #1 , 1989  . Extropy was published by The Extropy Institute]   "There are no moral phenomena at all, only a moral interpretation of phenomena." Friedrich Nietzsche, "Beyond Good and Evil."   I am going to argue that not only do we have good reasons to reject morality, but an amoralist viewpoint is especially fitting for Extropians. Don't be put off by the seemingly radical nature of my thesis - you may end up finding it not only convincing but also attractive and liberating! To begin, I will explain why I have come to dislike morality. Then, I will provide what I believe are solid theoretical reasons for rejecting any objectivist view of ethics (that is, any view stating that morals are objectively right or wrong, or actions objectively good or bad). Lastly, I will conclude the main part of the paper by moving beyond subjectivist ethics to an amoralist position. The Faults of Moralities Ap
