So you want to distribute all species to people?
Ok, tell me who is gonna own midges/mosquitos and what they are gonna do with their population. No, I'm saying distribute all the land/sea to people. People could then protect the animals on their property. For instance, all scimitar oryx breeding populations are on private hunting reserves. As for midges and mosquitoes, whoever wants 'em is welcome to them.[/quote] Nobody wants them and that's the problem. There are a lot of plants and animals that nobody has any use for, but are important for our eco-system. I don't see distributing land solve the problem. So, you're saying that clearcutting and selling the resultant paper to 10% of the population would be more profitable than responsible use and selling to 90% of the population?
Take a look at ivory. It is. I know you think market will solve this by demand, but it won't. Maybe forests will still be okey, because you can reproduce them (although I also doubt that and it's still not like the original ones). Take my word. If you are ever able to found a state like you have in mind, you will have to solve this problem. (alongside with the problem of natural agglomeration of power , that's another big issue) [Offtopic: I'm out of the discussion now, got a lot of other stuff to do right now. It was an exhausting, but also interesting discussion.] |

A stateless society does not solve all the world's problems. It simply solves the problem of the state. From there, we can stop running around in circles and actually solve problems, instead of throwing band-aids on them.

So from one force to an other, but this time private one... I'm not really sure it's preferable situation, as the size of companies isn't limited. The system presented in video seems scary...
Would you rather have competing services for security, who you use and pay for on a voluntary basis, or a single, all-powerful monopoly on the security service industry, which you must pay for involuntarily? Personally, I wouldn't like it if McDonalds was the only burger joint in the nation, of which I had to pay them every time they set up a new store, or risk jail time; they could then charge 20$ a burger and take their time filling out orders at the drive thru--I mean, where else are you gonna go for fast food? I think, when it boils down to it, people are always willing to pay for security, so there may as well be competition to provide the best service possible. As in the case of the monostatism, they can essentially do what they want without fear that another government will out perform them. They can provide a terrible service and charge out the butt to use it; since they own the military, they can also force you to pay for their service, whether you want it or not. It's a pretty ugly system that we have now, if you ask me, full of bullying and corruption. I see it like this: Now there is one large force which I have very minor say in. In other scenario I believe it ends up with one large force with me having no say in. States do have some rules, non-states don't have to have any. They could just say that you did something wrong and you have to pay. And if you don't pay the make you a slave. And if they are sufficiently large and profitable no one can stop them. And we are back to feudalism... |

I don't trust in free market,
This is all you really needed to say. I see it like this:
Now there is one large force which I have very minor say in.
In other scenario I believe it ends up with one large force with me having no say in.
You really think that one company will be able to dominate the market? |

You really think that one company will be able to dominate the market? Yes, one or few large ones. Which isn't really that different scenario. That is on now comparable to nation scale. And I don't see too much movement population between areas controlled by them. |

Stats from 2011 for Europe: http://www.statista.com/statistics/12782/market-share-of-selected-car-maunfacturers-in-europe/10 companies control 86.4% of market in sales per unit. And there is some government intervention involved. There isn't really too many groups in automobile market. |

Or brands of icecream--and phone companies. Also, computer manufacturers  Pizza delivery services... Video game publishers... Bicycle makers... Which system are you rooting for, btw? If not capitalism. |

If not capitalism. EDIT: And true, if you go deeper into things in many fields there is worryingly small amount of big players... I believe the best spot is in the middle. State providing most security services, some of basic infrastructure, education, social security and health care. Private industry is free to compete in these areas, but their operations are limited by sensible regulation. That is protection of nature and people and limiting the merges as such there isn't too big players. Too far in either direction just end disaster for majority. |

One statistic I found was 68.7 for top 5 companies... So likely very similar. I don't see the 13.6 lasting too long if companies had every possible means available, that include things like sabotage... |

But you'll note that both of those numbers are greater than 1, and the percentages are less than 100% Can Ford prevent you from buying a Honda? |

The ocean is one of the most unregulated markets on earth right now. If that were true, you could homestead a piece of it and make it your property. If you try to do that, you'll discover there are a lot of legal regulations preventing you from doing so. |

If you try to do that, you'll discover there are a lot of legal regulations preventing you from doing so. Working on it. It is called seasteading and the only legal regulations are if you are within 200 miles of any nation. Outside of that, it is open and free. |
First seastead company actually selling sea homes: Ocean Builders https://ocean.builders Of course we accept bitcoin. |
