National institutions have indeed begun their long slide into irrelevance. Ray Kurzweil, a big shot at Google, already wrote about that. Anything that existed before the widespread commercialization of the internet cannot remain the same, after. I am waiting for news of the inevitable to break loose. A group of disgruntled people setting up internet infrastructure to literally organize the decimation of state officials. They will end up dying like flies. As soon as the first guys do that, there will be no stopping it. The national state uses force to enforce its views, while they no longer have a credible monopoly on the use of force.
