extortion, theft and terror are bad. let's not build on it, let's build on voluntary interaction.

here are 3 vids that could solve this, but only if you would like it like this. how would you like conflicts to be resolved? join people who share your views and you could thrive in respect for each other through consensus.
political threats of the worst people on the planet are not helping anyone. they are and always have been the biggest threat to humanity. would you start murdering, raping and stealing without the threat of cage or death by people in costumes of higher morality and intelligence?
I would not. These people probably would and this is why they project it on the whole humanity. If people really believe that they need to ask slave owners how to live a moral life, we do not deserve to survive as a specie.

1. by a third party with a monopoly on violence dedicated to protecting individual liberties
2. Yes, right away, of course I would, what would stop you? "higher morality and intelligence" is not required to enforce the laws. Not only is it not required in many cases it is forbidden, people can legally be denied being police officers if they score too high on an intelligence test.

I'm having trouble understanding.

1. what monopoly? you can choose any of the arbitrary that has the best reviews. nobody has any monopoly. you can defend yourself or hire an agency offering this service... also the one you like, that has the best reviews.

2. would you? or is this sarcasm? what would stop you? yours truly, who is not a sociopath for example ;)

I agree with the IQ level required. You have to be just right kind of dumb to be programmable to do this job

1. yes, you can defend yourself or hire others to defend you but if you need to perpetrate some retributory or punitive violence then ideally the state will do it for you because if you allow individuals free reign in doing so then you have vigilantism which is even more arbitrary and violent than any centralized authority, mob justice and lynching are not preferable to legitimate civil and criminal laws.
   If we had no police and instead had to hire private protection agencies would you hire one with a reputation for weakness or one that would strike fear into the hearts of your enemies?
   If we had no central government to enforce antitrust laws how would you prevent all the alternative protection agencies from forming a monopoly?
   Why would they bother to compete with one another instead of consolidating?

1. Of course, and I wouldn't stop there, I would take slaves, lots of slaves. But since those things are illegal and I don't want to have to go to jail or court I don't do any of them. Why wouldn't you?

You seem to be relying on everyone having what Nietzsche would call a "slave mentality".

The courts have also affirmed the legality of barring those deemed to intelligent from law enforcement.
