Jean, the reason I know it's going to be better is that we've actually designed more convenient systems that exist under the current governments.
In my eyes, we have already superseded other governments in particular areas of service, and we've only just started.
Over the next few months, we will be launching the rest of the government systems which will enable all the requirements for a proper nation to function (banking, citizenship, judicial, organisational/business, infrastructure, etc)
edit: And regarding the Dunning-Kruger effect, we've been at this a lot longer than you might think. One of our members has been working on their project since 1998, and I've been doing this for 5 years. We have advisors in the public sector, business owners, teachers, researchers, software engineers and professionals within our team.
One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.
Look, if you believe in this, I of course can't and don't want to stop you.
My general point was that the modern states have been hundreds and thousands of years in the making, and that they belong to the most difficult and most useful things mankind ever built, and that the smartest people have weighted in that process already.
They are clunky? Sure, even if much less than the stupid propaganda about it want us to believe.
Can we do better? Of course, but on a methodological level, I would do that from a place of humility rather than contempt. I would try to be a competent dentist that targets a specific pain, rather than thinking I would reinvent everything and makes it better.
I appreciate your wise comments Jean, and I totally understand where you're coming from. I know that governments aren't as clunky as propaganda likes to push, I am fortunate to live in a country with a fairly streamlined government compared to many other countries.
I don't want to reinvent for the sake of it, I want to reinvent to see if there is a better way to do something with technology that previously wasn't there. These are the areas we are focusing on and rebuilding with success.
I know that founding a state is one of the most humanly-challenging tasks, that's part of the reason me and many others are interested in doing this. I know it's something that will take more than a lifetime to complete

Thanks for your answer, glad that the discussion was productive for both of us.
