I completely agree with your statement, "the most good will likely come from abolishing government rather than building new technologies or gaining more insight into the human brain".

I am a keen follower of new technology but what use is it if the controls rest with a biased block of individuals. In every country today "government for the people"has been replaced by "government for the people in the government". As soon as a government comes into power they start on their personal and party agenda, leaving the interests of the common people out in the cold.

Great article! Upvoted and will follow you for more.
