“logically-minded and clever tech folks” is even too generous. Keep in mind the only barrier to entry to post here is the ability to write moderately complete sentences.

Aahaha, "nobody may have an opinion about how they are governed, or an interest in thinking about different possibilities unless they are 'experts'". That's rich. Exactly what some kind of self-proclaimed "government expert" would say, thank you for that.

I’m not sure there is anything wrong with having an opinion it’s just a lot of the time any post related to economics/history/other non tech subjects is full of overconfident people offering semi-absurd solutions (some of which have even been tried but they are obviously not aware of that).

> Private legal system with non-profit counsel. Would be interesting to try it again, but no state would ever revert that kind of power to its citizens.

"Over-confident"

"solution"

This is just too much, it's satire right? Really good if it is. Nothing more fragile and angry than an "expert" who has their proclamations challenged, or an indoctrinated follower who is threatened with scary opinions.

It was satire? Makes sense now..

The Roman legal system was extremely arbitrary and highly dysfunctional by modern standard. Why transporting some random feature of it (which contributed to it being such) to the modern world would ever be a good idea?

> revert that kind of power to its citizens.

It think it’s the inverse and would significantly decrease the “power” a random person has due to obvious reasons.

> fragile and angry

I’m neither angry or fragile. Why would you even use these words? I just shared my observation, that’s it.

> indoctrinated

That generally comments which include this word tend to be at least mildly deranged is another thing I noticed here as well.

I'm sorry you're so angry you're resorting to not addressing my comments and doing the "I know you are but what am I" shtick.

You were still incapable of pointing out this alleged over-confident solution that I was apparently techbroing about.

Maybe it's time for bed and to stop thinking about things that make you so scared and upset.

I’m in awe of your seemingly psychic ability to sense people’s emotions over the internet.

However seeing personal insults everywhere and feeling the need to respond in kind seems rather tiresome.

> overconfident

> solutions

What's more tiresome is people spouting rambling "critiques" of others they are incapable of substantiating due to their dishonesty and/or mental deficiencies.

There is no need to take any comment which is barely even targeted at you so personally.

Being so angry at random people on the internet is not good for you..

> comment which is barely even targeted at you

A weak, dishonest back-down after getting called out on being unable to substantiate your blathering. Pathetic.

Really hope you’re just trolling..

But just to clarify a bit: I’m not “backing down” from anything I said.

Unfortunately it’s just hard tell what exactly I’m supposed to substantiate because your diatribes are a bit too incoherent.. and it’s quite hard to comprehend what are you trying to say.

I would advise you to tone do the amount of “personal” insults when trying to communicate with other people.

They really obscure your actual points (assuming they exist?) and they they aren’t doing much anyway since I still can’t really tell whether you’re talking to me or somebody else.

Also I generally find that insults are most effective when used sparingly or in a subtle backhanded manner.

No you definitely tried to walk back what you said because you were unable to substantiate it. Keep flailing though.
