Daily Balajisms - Se2: Anarcho-tyranny | Ep #011


Duke Mtambo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ talks with Jakub Simek about his article on "Anarcho-tyranny". In this article, Balaji Srinivasan discusses the concept of anarcho-tyranny and its impact on San Francisco, where regular people are excessively punished while criminals walk free. He also talks about the decline of liberal democracies and the rise of crypto-anarchy and crypto-civilization, with Bitcoin being seen as a lifeboat in times of chaos. Balaji suggests that a smart regulator, like Uber or Bolt, is better than analog regulators, and the US establishment needs to be better at perceiving weak signals and capital allocation.
