For those of you who followed my links on that last post, I should point you to this index, and note that the “Open Letter to Open-Minded Progressives” is probably a better place to start reading than the Brief (lies!) Introduction.
Of particular interest is Part 6, where Moldbug actually details his plan for his favored new form of government (neocameralism, the “sovereign corporation” as joint-stock company). It’s rather similar to some of the ideas in crypto-anarchism1, it proposes solving the Roman Dictator Problem2 by using strong cryptography. Significant aspects of the plan strike me as totally unworkable. For one thing, all the problems that plague DRM schemes would also apply to cryptographically-locked guns. But it’s still a novel idea. (As far as I know.)
1. I might call it crypto-fascism, but that phrase already has a different meaning.
2. How do you give someone total sovereign authority but still make that authority temporary or revocable?
