I don’t remember whether I read this but I swear to God it is a thing that exists. I over found an "an"cap comic book online which was a kind of parallel universe thing. One universe was the one we know today, just a few years in the future: huge smoking ban signs everywhere, owning gold was illegal, there were no cats so people were forced to bike, meat was expensive/illegal so people turned to cannibalism, everything was grey and dull, you know, what we’re currently used to now.
But then there was the parallel universe, an "an"cap utopia in which there were no states, the colours were bright and happy, people paid at vending machines by putting in pieces of bullion and monkeys could speak. Yes, somehow one of the bazinga technologies unleashed by removing the yoke of the state was making moneys sentient. I’m not sure but I remember an "an"cap monkey cop.
It was some of the most amazing agitprop I’ve ever seen.

Their ancap utopia has cops??
Yes but it was good cops subjected to a strict regime of checks and balances that prevented abuse. The invisible have of the market does that if there’s just no state to get in the way.
And yes, of course there’s cops in "an"cap utopia, they are fascists after all, but as long as it is a company paying their salary instead of a government it is completely freedommy and non-authoritarian.
Love that the only logical conclusion to meat being expensive/illegal is canabalism lmao
Long or short, you will eat the pork
there were no cats
Finally, a solution to the outdoor cat problem. Paradise!
Bazinga brained dipshit thinks we have Sci fi tech I guess.
They are bazinga brained dip shits but we crossed the threshold from scifi to reality on this being doable (with money and disregard for law) over a decade ago. We’ve already had doctors and geneticists break the law by making edits to the genes of human children altering their brain architecture. Doing something this extreme would just require iteration and willingness to have many generations of fkd up test subjects born until the goal was achieved.
Most recent example was an IVF doctor in China who a group of US and UK scientists cooped to make gene edits to a group of children in China (is highly illegal regardless but didn’t even inform their parents) to give them HIV immunity and alter their brain architecture. The IVF doctor got arrested and convicted after the group published their research paper, the western scientists who took part saw no legal consequences.
We can manipulate genomes along with having mapped in depth both human and other great ape genomes. It’s why when we initially hit that tech level, laws were passed internationally and in nations with the required tech base to outlaw this type of genetics manipulation in specific. Gene editing to create food that are resistant to environmental collapse, pesticide resistant, or healthier is legal and so is editing genes of lab animals to make them express novel characteristics. But gene editing of human brain genetics into other animals is expressly illegal, as is editing any part of the human genome. The most allowed is creating chimeras where the human genes are present but not expressed.
Why do they all have the same smile?
