>A lot of people are allergic to the idea because they don’t want to have limits on their behavior, only on others or on no one at all.

So are we doomed? if we don't vote in people who can properly regulate this, it seems the dilemma continues. But how does one convince an entire society to stop being so selfish and myopic?

If you want everyone to be able to do what they want without limit, and enough people are choosing a route to destruction, then yes we are doomed.

I have no idea how to convince anyone anymore. Even people who claim to care about things beyond themself immediately round up the wagons the second they have a limitation imposed. Already in this thread there’s someone mocking government regulation with a strawman argument. I’d just find some people you can make a community with and hole up.

The Curtis Yavins, Thiels, and Musks of the world appear to have willed their post democracy state into existence without how much anti democratic sentiment they pull. Gonna have to figure out what their “post constitutional” world is going to look like before anyone has any idea what a good oath forward will be

The path -> oath typo at the end of your post is apropos in a world sliding fast into full on techno feudalism.
