The reading list I made for
@thousandnations is a good start: https://athousandnations.com/recommended/ The recent book Radical Markets is an example of some small but important mechanism alternatives. For a much more radical option, read about futarchy or anarcho-capitalism. -
I love
#RadicalMarkets being called small! I totally agree as would any serious mechanism design person. But most people are soooo conservative they call it utopian. -
As a meta-utopian, I do tend to make other things seem less utopian. (While also working to enable such ideas to be tried, and hopefully achieve the ultimate anti-utopian outcome: new mechanisms put into common use)

To what extent are you and the seasteading community at sympathetic to the formalist/neoreactionary worldview?
-
I think NRX has multiple true important neglected beliefs, which makes it interesting & valuable. It also has many significant errors. Like everyone else, they are welcome to build seasteads. I'll bet on the corporate-run one over the monarchy.

People seem to crave leaders. Until this changes and people become more self confident, good leaders are still very badly needed imo. There is no shortage of bad leaders, if there are no good ones like you or your father available, people will end up following the bad ones.

Very true KM. And We tend to hail the monsters and villify the saints. I think it's ironic that as it seems to me, we will consistently pick great leaders only when we finally become great leaders
