You have clearly considered these matters at length, and have arrived at rational conclusions as a result, for which I am grateful.
I think that you neglect the power of decentralization. A fundamental fact of our existence is that we are granted individual autonomy. You alone can will your heavy hand to your weary brow and wipe away the dripping sweat of your hard labors. You cannot transfer this sovereignty to another for love nor money. You aren't your property because you cannot transfer this inherent authority. You are inalienably sovereign.
The only just form of governance is Autarchy, where each of us is sovereign and wholly responsible personally for our governance of ourselves. This is the reality of our existence. It is what God has created through the laws of physics, and that is the only just law.
Prior to the advent of agriculture and collective industry, humanity lived in relatively egalitarian society in which each household necessarily produced the goods and services they needed. Agriculture enabled overlords to parasitize surpluses and support armed gangs of thugs to conquer and control society, centralizing political power and enabling technology to advance. As technology advanced, productivity increased, and overlords have taken an ever larger cut, becoming today more wealthy and powerful than ever before. However, the laws of physics today mandate decentralization of the means of production, revealing that centralization has been a temporary phase humanity has endured in order that technology advance from the Stone Age to the Space Age, which is now complete.
Relativity Space 3D printed Terran 1, and launched it in March, 2023. It is a fitting demarcation of the beginning of the transcendence of centralization.
Centralization, overlords, and government are obsolete. We are in the process of creating the infrastructure of the new paradigm as we speak, and no technology is dispersing faster across the population than 3D printers. This disruptive transition will not be easy or painless, just as the subjugation of Stone Age societies and transition to centralization was not.
The 3D printer that built Terran 1 cost ~$1m. Entry level 3D printers run the cost of a nice lunch out with your family, and aren't yet capable of using the exotic aluminum alloys that Terran 1 was printed with. But the more advanced technology is the more quickly it advances, and the faster it disperses across the population. We can already 3D print most of a flying car today, all the circuits, rotors, body parts, and etc., only the metals require more advanced capability than is available in household 3D printers. It won't be long until we can 3D print literal spaceships in our garage.
The sky is not the limit. Using aquaponics we can grow food to supply our necessary nutrition in any environment we can survive, and we can use CRISPR to create food that can survive in many environments we can't. We can produce power with printed solar panels. Once we can access the illimitable resources in space, we will create inconceivable wealth in absolute freedom, because armies cannot follow a diaspora to beat us into submission.
Centralization enables a hierarchy to be very powerful by concentrating the will of the leader - but this also reduces its ability to respond to myriad challenges, because only the leader's will can be concentrated by the hierarchy.
I do not denigrate nor disagree that the fundamental basis for functional society is essentially the Ten Commandments and the love of God. However, it is God that has created the laws of physics, evolution, and imbued us with inalienable sovereignty, which requires us to take responsibility for our actions, and clearly is intended to enable us to be absolutely free to seize the stars of the heavens as footstools for our feet, and create a legacy of inconceivable wealth our posterity will inherit and enjoy in perpetuity.
Thanks!
