A huge problem when talking about law is that *cultural* law is super important. You can put different cultures into the same legal system and get wildly different results. Some cultures would do great if released from government; others would fall apart.

There is no one ideal legal system - there are different ideal legal systems depending on the norms of the group you're talking about.

I'm beginning to think you think way too much about too many marginally meaningful or important things at least from my perspective. I didn't take a ton of acid just to think about this earthly plane you know. I wanted to know about the mysteries of creation and eternity

If I learned anything from taking a ton of acid it's that I definitely want to think about this earthly plane

What is a culture? If a culture falls apart if you release it from government is there truly a culture? And is culture something that can fall apart? Isn't culture a universal thing shared by a group of people, and in itself a form of government

The causality runs both ways. If you create a legal system that rewards a certain culture, you'll get more of it than you would otherwise. By shrinking government, you encourage an independent culture.

Same goes with tech, tech can make otherwise benign laws perfectly enforceable, and therefore no longer benign

No, they wouldn't. Less coercion leads to wealthier society, wealth is the base for civility. Government is a decivilizing agent, it can't be nothing else since is based on stealing (taxation), that is a decivilizing action.
