I think Human history (and those that control it) have give people the idea that we, humans, are inherently bad. That is false, but when you control the past and present, you have a way of effecting the future.
Agreed. The very next poster provides a case in point: The moment we free ourselves from the tyranny of the goverment and become free...
I'm selling you my laptop and all my bitcoins for a bow , 10 arrows and a blanket.
A common reaction. People often imagine that without centrally enforced rules, everything would instantly dissolve into a dog-eat-dog war zone with people killing other people at random, looting, raping and taking a shit in front of your door (someone once provided this as an argument in this very same discussion with me..). As if the only thing stopping people from acting this way right now is the looming threat of imprisonment and punishment by the legal system. Divide and conquer still seems to be working quite well. Have you ever noticed that laws are there for OTHER people? As in the laws are here to prevent other people from killing me and stealing my stuff. Not to prevent me from doing the same. I'm a decent fellow. It's those other bastards... ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

I'm fighting an uphill battle saying this, but: I wonder how much a situation in which a society used to (and arguably dependent on) a single set of enforced rules suddenly finds itself without the means to enforce those rules can be compared with a situation in which a society organically grows into a state without said enforced rules. The point most people seem to overlook in a discussion like this is that people are so hooked on the idea of having rules that if you take away the current rules, they will immediately get to work on new sets of rules. The benefit I see there is in a possible plurality of rule-sets as opposed to a single set of rules for all. In other words voluntary choices instead of forced submission. Not a very popular idea, I know, but I still imagine that having multiple options and no monopoly on the legal use of force would be very beneficial for everybody involved (maybe except for sociopaths wanting to control everybody). btw after first reading that article a while ago I decided to load up on batteries...just in case ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

In any scenario where theres an absence of central authority or rules people will revert to their original sociopathic state.. people will kill each other for petty things because now they will not be questioned for the crime.. i think rules are necessary but only to an extent where they protect the society and not an individual.. rules today are only for those without power, the average citizen.. the ones with money aka power still dont have to answer for their crimes..

Again, you don't know that. You are speaking like recent history is the proof of what human behavior is. We have been led by the least among us. We have been led with money in mind and not compassion. Change the variables of the equation we currently live in, and you would not feel nor believe what you do. Our educational system has been dumbing us down with Prussian "education" since the 1800's. Taking away and killing our creativity and curiosity. Do the real research and you will see we have manipulated to feel and believe what we currently do. But welcome to the apocalypse - the truth is being unveiled...

what happend right after the fall of mother Russia in the ex-soviets states is a clear example.
This example is not correct. Actually, a lot of Russian gangsters of 1990s are in government now. So, we have a central authority made by real mafiosos. That's a huge problem. These gangsters took real power, and, BTW, Russia is actualy going to the new USSR now. And, as said above, the problem was that people were not prepared for freedom after USSR.
