In this monologue, the speaker recommends a 1997 book that argues the nation‑state will become obsolete. He traces the historical purpose of the nation‑state to providing security for its citizens, but claims that modern governments now treat citizens as mere sources of value, stripping them of rights while imposing obligations. He links this shift to the information age, noting that digital technologies now enable the manipulation of massive populations simultaneously. The speaker also critiques the prevailing narrative that fiat currency and taxation are necessary foundations of a civilized society, suggesting that these ideas are eroding as people recognize they may be false premises. Overall, the commentary presents a skeptical view of contemporary state power, monetary policy, and tax legitimacy, framing them as outdated constructs vulnerable to disruption.

  1. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it. Written in '97, beautiful book, one of my favorites. And it makes the case how the nation state will no longer be needed. But the reason for nation state has been throughout history to provide mostly security services for the clients, which are citizens. And now the clients are no longer treated as clients. They're treated like cattle or something to pump value out from, something that has no rights but has a lot of obligations. So the government should not dictate. They cannot give you anything. They take away. They limit your freedoms. You are born free and then they start limiting you. So this is something that is rather new. Also a byproduct of information age, because now it is possible to influence large groups of humans all at once. And this is also to go back to your original question, why I think that fiat is not going to go in that sense away, because there's always these tools and there's always these customers who are willing to buy whatever these snakes oil Peddlers are selling as long as the story is good, right? As long as they, the customers think that they are getting what they want. And now the customers are thinking like taxation is taxes are the price that you pay for living in a civilized society. Well, this has been in the recent past maybe crumbling a little bit, and I think people are starting to realize that maybe it's not fully true. Maybe it's not true at all. Maybe it's the opposite.
