This is not a book this is a speech (I dont even think this is excerpt from a book so I am not sure where this book idea is coming from) And yes he even in the next paragraph says that a lawless society is horrible. "I have spent all my life under a Communist regime and I will tell you that a society without any objective legal scale is a terrible one indeed."

I dont think he nor I think of it as "neckbeards constantly testing limits" but as the whole of society; specifically the area that matters here is corporations.

I am not into Crypto blah blah solutions. I am simply arguing that yet another random specific law doesnt seem to fix the issue.

Using legal mechanisms to solve these kind of issues is ineffective, inefficient, and inegalitarian.

which is weird because he's being held up as support of removing the law in favor of (handwavey nothing)

No evidence supports these claims and no replacement is offered.

Criticism without evidence or replacement is facile.

I never made this claim.

The evidence is the subject of the original post itself. This is part of a thread. Click on parent...

What a disappointing conversation.


Indeed, you didn't make that claim. Fascinating to see the same user you replied to do the same thing in your subthread as he did in mine earlier on in the day. I also see you are no less disappointed with your conversation with said user than I was with mine. How very coincidental...


You meet all types on the internet :)


That seems like an inappropriate thing to say.

Good luck to you.
