I believe you've referred to aspects of the project as revolutionary in nature. Do you make any sort of distinction between a traditionally physical act of revolution involving a physical overthrow of an established power structure (to whatever degree is irrelevant) verses the technologically-driven process of decentralized human empowerment?

In other words - because DefDist involves enabling people to utilize emerging technology rather than some sort of physical resistance, is there any sort of valid distinction to be made? Is it even the same thing at all?

Also - just want to let you know that I really appreciate what you're doing and where you're coming from.

A good answer.

I suppose this is where I was heading with my question: I saw a video that was posted of you speaking with some students (?) at a university or something - and you made the statement that a revolutionary act must be "owned," so to speak - it can't be spoken for, there is no guarantee - and you must be willing to accept the consequences if nobody follows you - a sort of posthumous man mentality. Is this not changed by the "revolution" shifting to the symbolic realm? After all, if you own some Bitcoin, is that not a revolutionary act unto itself? There's no need for the zen-like push for the ultimate cause - you can own Bitcoin because of your self-interest, responding to typical incentives. In a similar way - you've made yourself quite public in the way you've displayed your project, but you could have also stayed completely in the shadows, letting the encrypted file speak for itself. Is the necessary counter-intuitive mentality of "owning responsibility" for a revolution negated to some extent by technological progress?

Gary Johnson - I think the one question on many libertarians' minds is as follows:

What do you think about Voluntarism/Anarcho-capitalism?

As a followup - if you do you think Voluntarism is the logical conclusion of philosophical libertarianism, how would you differentiate political libertarianism, in hard, definite terms?

Thanks for your time.
