If you really want your mind to be blown, think about what Thomas Hobbes says in Leviathan. He goes into detail about social contract theory. It all begins with the natural state of man, which is a nasty, short, brutish life. Every man for himself, all against all. Any action is not only permissible, but is also a RIGHT. It's the first time that rights are seriously considered as an inherent quality of man.

Man voluntarily gives up some of his rights to escape from the dangerous and shitty conditions of the natural state of man. It must be mutual, however, he only promises not to kill anyone so long as everyone else agrees not to kill anyone. This is the basis of forming a society.

The important thing here, is that it's a contract. People enter into a mutual agreement, but in order for people to be accountable to that agreement, there needs to be an arbiter, or an enforcer. This is the role that government plays. If a man steals, and he gets caught, then the government enforces punishment against him for breaking the contract. The rules can only be followed if there is an arbiter.

Up until this point in history man has never escaped the necessity of an enforcer for contracts. Enter Sergey Nazarov. His vision is bigger than you can imagine. He's ushering in an entirely new era of human interaction. This can transform any digitally executable contracts. This is the first time in history when a contract won't necessarily need an external enforcer, because the contract itself is the enforcer. The philosophical implications of this are colossal.

You are a cool anon. I remember once I read about smart contracts I was blown apart. (I'm coming both from the philosophical context of the leviathan as well as the programming context of unbreakable, unstoppable code)

The whole concept of the Blockchain and what's possible with it is truly impressive. I am sure smart contracts are the future of human society. I usher any anon to read further into the philosophical aspects of this.

Historian here, Francisco Suarez actually came up with the secular social contract more than a century before Hobbes, but as always anglos stole someone else's ideas and took full credit..

Except that contracts with fetuses aren't valid, so unless you believe in reincarnation you can toss the social contract theory out the window. He was simply wrong, when people made the jump to agrarian societies primitive warlords used force to extract tribute/protection money/taxes from the productive people. Society then grew up around that.
