I expect that over time, this cooperative is going to offer fully integrated health insurance, medical services, daycare, schools, universities, security services, career counseling, conflict mediation, social services and transparently optimizing model based governance.

The cooperative is probably very open to new members, provided that these members subscribe to a very strict, minimalist and succinct, but provably mutually beneficial social code that can be derived from the primary objective of the cooperative: the longest game.

The cooperative is going to meet with considerable resistance from rent seeking parts of the substrate civilization, but it enjoys the support of many legislators, because many of them found it beneficial to join the cooperative.

It's also true that most Germans have difficulty to imagine the degree to which all levels of US civic administration are parasitized by an extremely complex ecology of rentseeking.

We are often shocked when we come to the US. It's still a great country, not least because it still has so much wide open space in which new things could be built, if all the fantastically byzantine organizations that need to be paid would let you.

I was very shocked too. Visited San Francisco. A beautiful city. But: Lot's of suffering people living on the streets. Human feces on the streets. Signs saying: "this street will be pressure washed 7AM every morning". And also: people lobbying against building more housing.

The housing crisis and the heartwrenching tragedy of unsheltered drug addiction are two important, but mostly separate topics that require different solutions. If you get to the point where you shit on the street, you have suffered a full social breakdown and need assisted living
