after skimming the article that looks like the most pathetic militia imaginable. What is infuriating, though, is the idea that the government is "just another corporation". The state is the fount of law, honour, and force. Google is a boat on the ocean of government, at any time google can be capsized and its offices reduced to rubble. Unless google is going to raise its own paramilitary and start encroaching on the state's monopoly of force, I will continue to laugh at weak little google, maker of maps and search engines and that nexus 10 tablet that I want.

Costs

Additionally the technological solution can reduce the costs of the political solution. If for instance Peer to Peer health insurance could someday compete with traditional health insurance then we could reduce the cost of the Affordable Care Act because Peer to Peer health insurance could be cheaper and equally effective. If we can provide in a decentralized manner something essential like food vouchers then we do not need to use the government for this purpose.

Informed consent is critical in the design of such systems, and the user must always be in a position to give or revoke their consent. It is also important that these alternate realities, augmented realities, virtual systems and architectures do not select the moral compass of the users but instead help the user to define their moral compass and decision making strategy and then provide a decision support layer so that the user always knows that the system if the system they themselves chose.
