“NO, WE AREN’T SEEKING UTOPIA”
We aren’t, seeking utopia. We’re seeking another leap in the incremental suppression of lying and crime made possible by the industrial revolution and massive increases in population. That’s all.

We don’t claim anything other than the eradication of crime produces a field of opportunities so that markets for cooperation can experiment with a multitude of potential good governments, that evolutionary pressures will subject to natural selection, and we will learn EMPIRICALLY what is superior and not, instead of hypothetically what is superior and not.

Utopians propose the good. We don’t and can’t know it. Instead, empiricists eliminate the bad, and let the people, market and evolution decide. Anything not bad is good. Anything that survives and is good is the best that we humans can do.
