I think it would be interesting to do away with the concept of legal personhood for everyone. Alabama got rid of marriage, making it a private spiritual thing. Why not atomic identity in self and the few we really WANT to let in?

I can be a socially amenable person without a legal status. We’d still police and service the usual.

The story of “I did this…” is entirely bullshit these days. 5% hunt still. It’s all modern logistics. Why the redundant finance network? How many distributed ledgers do we need?

Even in paper form, the value of currency is coupled to abstract belief in a national identity.
