Why do people think cyberspace is not the real world?
I think smart-contracts as envisioned by early cypherpunks where meant to run in a world where Governments are obsolete, they won't work well in our current society.
This is the kind of "cyber-babble" I'm talking about. Smart contracts can only respond to things that happen on the chain, but the vast majority of events that humans produce contracts to govern in the first place happen in what is colloquially termed "the real world". Yes, I think the blockchain is "real", but I think most people understand what I'm talking about when saying I want a contract to be able to reference actual performance of a service rendered in 3D space.

"Governments" have existed in some form since the beginning of the species (families and tribal structures, etc.) and pretending that some piece of technology may make them "obsolete" belies a very simple understanding of human nature.
