I love this post. Ethereum is the World Computer. Free finance is one important use of the World Computer, if we can police our own to actually keep the finance free. However, you can do so many more things with a computer, so we must never stop dreaming big. In a world gone mad, the Infinite Garden is a sanctuary.
Picture Ethereum's role as the unstoppable coordination layer of all liberatory technology in a movement of broader d/acc. The leviathan we defend against is very powerful. In the mundane case, state capacity for oppression might trend towards infinity. In the extreme case, our civilization might actually birth a self-assembling exocapital computer eschaton.
We might need to survive in the Miyazaki patchwork future, where we can yet live in self-sovereign off-grid Fortress New Hampshire network states despite an all-powerful malevolent adversary. Our hardware and software can be formally verified to be mathematically airtight. Our air, water, and food can be locally-generated and protected from supply-chain attack. Our printers will produce the plows, swords, ghost guns, and any other tools of production or defense. Our locally-operated computer katechons can save us from a perpetual onslaught of drones, cyberattacks, and bioweapons.
In such a most-adversarial world, Ethereum is the layer which allows for safe communication and trade between sanctuary islands. It is the layer which helps those create new sanctuary islands. The unstoppable forever network will see the preservation of human agency into the stars and beyond.
