Re: Is a Madmax outcome coming before 2020? Thus do we need anonymity?
BitcoinFreak I think you would gain some insight from studying the failures of Athenian democracy. Theirs was a decentralized government similar to the ideal you are proposing. Random groups of citizens directly voted on all laws. It had severe and significant problems.
Merely because how people interact with eacother in a crowd, but what i proposed is a completely anonymous system. There would be no person shouting lounder then the other , and not letting others speak, obviously if you cram 10.000 people in a square, not all people will shout there, and there could be big fights, muggings and other nasty things.But in the internet era, you have a mouse and 2 buttons in front of you a yes and a no, and you can calmly and intelligently choose the best outcome you think is ok. Nobody will intimidate you, nobody will shout at you, and nobody would ridicule you because nobody would know what you voted for, or if you voted at all.
Today's world is much more complex than the world of Athens time. It is significantly harder for the common man to understand all issues and vote intelligently. What you have proposed is essentially the Athenian style of democracy scaled up from 30,000 thousand to billions. The system was unstable at 30,000. I agree with contagion and bigtimespaghetti above. Such a system would lead to paralysis, and chaos.
Heh its only hard because the government made it so, if it werent for 60 pages of regulations on each business, it would be much easier, trust me 
Most people have 3 goals in their life: protect their family, have sex, and make money
Now the first 2 you can easily manage on your own, but in the 3rd one, the government will always create obstacles for you. I mean a simple farmer guy can just sell his vegetables on the street, whoooooooooh you cant do that, you need a fking permit from the government maffia and you need to register your business and you need to pay them a racket every damn month, plus if you forget to give a receipt, they will constantly harass you and audit you for years.If you dont pay your monthly racket then they lock you up in a cage with violent people and confiscate some of your wealth.
It's a bunch of criminals if you ask me.
See, its only the state that makes it hard, when if it werent no state, then everything would be very easy. Commerce and trading would skyrocket, the world GDP would increase by 3 orders of magnitude in a year (not fking 0.5% increases)
I mean trading is the most ancient profession out there, even the caveman traded with his fellow caveman, and he did fine without regulations, so why are the people so stupid nowadays that they think that they need regulation?
I tell you life would be much much more easy without these criminals
