This is an interesting concept that we talk about a lot. Building a decentralized system requires trust between the nodes. There are lots of people working on this problem.

I’m with you all in - except the religious ideation. When the “tribe” is mostly religious, once events escalate in violence, there will be a dropout gradient of faith. Once that “glue” is gone, the tribe becomes a gang and I may well become it’s target as I was a non-believer. As in I was different from the jump but, now, no religious restrictions in place now to stop their taking what I have - because they’ll have the excuse to use to get the less violent to agree.

How can anyone believe in a supreme being choosing one group I.e. Muslim vs Christian vs Jew, to the total exclusion of anyone else. It works if your group writes the storyline to brainwash the cult members with. And, added bonus, all you have to do to duck condemnation to a fiery pit (great choice) is total, unthinking worship of allah, jesus yahway.....

Beyond laughable. But, it occurs and so is frightening, showing how fearful and craven the weakest physically of the great ape family really is. Add this to your prepping plans - nothing more violent than a now pissed off former cult member.

"Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted

Can't help but wonder what's happenin' to my companions

Are they lost or are they found?

Have they counted the cost it'll take to bring down

All their earthly principles they're gonna have to abandon?

There's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend" Bob Dylan
