I have a few questions regarding it, like what replaces areas where massively agreed upon things need to be determined such as radio standards for wireless devices, and what medical procedures are safe and effective?

    You jam me and I’ll just jam you back.

    Exactly. In radio frequency terms, this is the same thing as civil war. And we institute governments in order to prevent that situation.

    See for example, the Seattle CHOP/CHAZ which very quickly descended into violence, ultimately ending in an escape to government and police.

    members acting as their own enforcement

    The point is that this won’t work.

    Again, the goal is not no government, its reducing down to the minimum required governance and heirarchy to accomplish that goal.

    At least in terms of radio spectrum allocation, that’s what we have now.

    how do we prevent large corporations from ruining things

    This is nothing specific to large corporations. I can envision amateur radio operators entering into feuds or disrupting others out of spite or jealousy. “Ruining things” is normal human behaviour. Like the killers in Seattle.

      I don’t think we have anything like a minimal spectrum governance model. The entity which governs spectrum probably doesn’t need to be the one that governs borders.

      Fundametaly, the question, “in a society with a fundamentaly different organizing priciple, how would you solve problem x?” always comes down to "imperfectly, but hopefully better than the current solution<

        I’m curious what you think is excessive?

        They aren’t really, they’re distinct parts.

        hopefully better than the current solution

        This is not a good sell.
