Often the questions I hear are 'What keeps everybody from being a bum', 'Why would I work if I can consume for free', and 'How do we control the violent'.

So, from the top.
If everybody is a bum, then we all starve.
We know that in nearly every situation somebody responsible stands up and takes responsibility to see that the work gets done.
Look around your jobsite, see anybody doing all the work?
Somebody that is riding on the work of others?
How do you handle that now?

When dollars are no longer used to account for your labors we will need some way to keep track.
I'd think that your neighbors would be ok to measure that.
If you are a bum, they will know.
If you are not a bum, if you exceed the minimum contribution to the whole of humanity, those closest to you will know, and sing your praises.

With the advent of the blockchain all that info will be public for all to see.
Some folks will have it much easier than others.
Firemen, for example.
Are you gonna deny food or comfort to the guys that run into burning buildings to save your cats, even though they don't produce a consumable good?
Are you gonna run those that care for the elderly out of town on a rail because you can't measure the good they do in the lives of others with a concrete metric?
What about grandma, she can't bake for you anymore, is she to be discarded?
I think not, nor would most people.
So, bums will be dealt with locally, and in the manner prescribed by their local social unit.

'Consuming for free' is a thing.
It is a logical fallacy.
You cannot consume without somebody preparing the things consumed.
Either you gathered the nuts, or somebody else did.
As it stands now we all benefit from the workaholics that exceed the norm.
We all benefit because Steve Jobs did what he did.
Are you gonna not make him a pair of shoes, or fix him some supper?
I think not, loving caring people don't work that way.
So, there is no free in the true sense of the word.
However, dollars don't mine, refine, or load any trucks.
Why do you continue to support a system where those doing the most work get the least benefit?
Have you ever seen a cobbler driving a Maserati?
You have seen plenty of Crapitalust X's kids doing it though, huh?
They never worked a day in their lives, but because their granddad was such a 'good' crapitalust they live in luxury from the work of others without contributing one manufactured good.
If you exceed the minimum in my system your neighbors will know, and you will reap the benefits of that.

How do we control the violent?
I'd say it is the responsibility of all to ensure that bad actors are exposed and dealt with.
If you are physically attacked, defend yourself.
If you can't do it alone, ask for help.
Mostly these things should be dealt with locally.
How do you and your neighbors want to respond to a sneak thief taking things in the night?
How do you respond to your cats being taken?
And the verbally abusive?
These are questions that must be answered in their individual occurrences by the folks involved.
To make blanket statements of retribution is not a viable plan, if you are not prepared to take the necessary actions yourself, ask your neighbors for help.
Make a plan.
Those of us not prone to abuse violence can be trusted to act in violent situations.
In my paradigm, folks will get skooling to handle these situations.
In my paradigm folks will get educated in how to fight a fire, how to handle attackers, how to pilot jetplanes, etc, all for free, and all on their voluntary desire to acquire the knowledge.
From birth to the age of about 20, no hard rules here, kids will be kids.
They will play in the dirt with imaginary friends.
They will begin to take in knowledge that will serve them their whole lives, rather than useless facts that only serve to spam their minds.
They will learn to grow, and can, food from the garden by spending time with the elders of their families.
They will learn trades by following their dads to work.
They will begin their journey to make a mark on the world long before they are 18.
These customs will work themselves out over several generations.
Each refining what the last discovered.
We can't go from a paradigm where the first lesson, and most continuously reinforced idea, is do as you are told, or else, overnight.
Today, the masses, think bombing terrorists is the bees knees.
Using violence to control situations created by folks that love watching violence used on others is just hunky dorry.
Our whole mindset has been corrupted by generational mind control techniques.
Some of these techniques are as old as the lessons the first two men that picked up sticks and farmed their neighbors, instead of the fields, taught their children.
Some came out of Nazi Germany's death camps.
Lucky for us, those controlling the Nazi's won ww2, brought that data to the new world, and have been laid bare on the interwebz.
Now it will be recorded on the blockchain, all hail @dan, and
@ned, and maybe some lesser known acolytes, as well.
As we move from here to there more and more people will come out against using violence to control dissent.
We will learn to accept that we are not the ultimate authority in the universe, that we don't get to bully our neighbors into compliance.
Eventually we will embrace those that bring contrarian wisdom to life because diversity serves us best.
Have a perfectly peaceful day.
Keep working, stop paying. No war, but the class war!!
