Network State & Colonialism - Network state exit libertarians are not the primary source of large-scale colonialist evil observed recently [1] - The "exit" position, where individuals create new systems if they disagree with existing ones, is a robust approach with localized and bounded negative consequences [1] - The potential negative consequences of individual actions are inherently limited, even with global reach via the internet [1] Libertarianism & Political Influence - The industry should be kinder to the "exit" position going forward [2] - Evil has recently come from libertarians, notably from political lobbying [2] - The industry opposes "bad deregulation" (eg, AGI/ASI) and deregulation regardless of side effects [2] - The individuals involved in negative actions are specifically not the "exit" faction [2] AI & Global Impact - AI doom will not originate from isolated locations like islands or boats in international waters [1] - Some former libertarians are now focused on taking over existing governments, which carries significant downsides [1]
