If technology can demonetise a whole economy by the blockchained bitcoin,
turn the locked-up and unused assets of a state and all its individuals free for use by all in a frenzy of middlemanless sharing and collaboration economy of dematerialisation, while peer production reaches the everyman and provides low cost production facilities, the legal offices are replaced by blockchain notaries; is there any room for anything other than an anarchic pluralist network of tribes?
Bitcoin also removes inflation from the economy is used as the main currency. It may even remove banks from the loop. Without inflation the real estate rentier class would lose significant opportunity to acquire wealth.
No money, no property, no law, no religion are the foundations of anarchism.
Or perhaps technology will stop at getting us to this route to eutopia because it might not provide solutions to religious thought? Or maybe cognitive research and cognitive prosthesis will in the future allow for religious experiences at will?
Or allow for amazing new spiritual experiences once souls have been digitalized by uploading? Maybe the communion will acquire a totally new meaning when it merges with the egoless state of being when the global mind is first used to unite a dozen odd pioneers of electronic/optronic neural prostheses to share ego-ness as a collective experience of all members?
