For a potential future societal structure I suggest to read or re-read "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson (first published in 1992).

Cliffnotes?

does that mean I get my own nuclear submarine?

I don't remember a sub, but recall that, perhaps, there was an aircraft carrier, but that's not too relevant.

No it's just one of the problems of your democracy. Neither a left nor a right thing, but a lack of anything better thing.

Better things:

1.  Properly funded education system
2.  Properly funded NHS

But that requires the ability to see past the end of your nose.

too complex, predicted 'electronic currency', 'virtual reality', etc, etc.
one particular prediction is privatization of government functions, with sovereign enclaves forming, mostly based on economies and not policies.
A very much decentralized world with all possible pluses and minuses.

Typical conservative beggar thy neighbor approach.  Don't let corporates get away with paying less than 1% tax and suddenly there is enough funding for everything.  

Why the fuck does a UK power station need to be owned by a company in the Caymans that itself is owned by a company in Turkey that is owned by a Dutch limited partnership?  Cut that bullshit and you would be amazed how much revenue is available to the government.

It's somewhat peaty which isn't for everyone / harder to get into. It actually tastes surprisingly sweet once your palette adapts, with hints of something salty.

 Deadpool delivers pizza.  I don't think we can seriously believe anything was "predicted" given that it was published in 1992.

 You can listen to it while you're working on other things... that way it wont be an entire waste of your time Wink

unrelated to the content of the quote...
Murad Mahmudov (second person quoted) is that 20-something guy who is full of pseudo-scientific explanations as to why btc has to go to $1700 first (then to 10mil), which on balance is mightily annoying.
I guess he wants btc to get low before his fund buy-in. I don't blame him.
IMHO, not enough time (in relation to halving) for that if cycle is about to increase in duration (as he claims).
