Well there we have it then. I would be an anarchist if I had more faith in people and the society we’ve built, but I don’t think people will self regulate without some big systemic or philosophical advances.
I’d be curious to see your system on a small, opt-in scale. Our decisions will impact others whether we like it or not. Even your deregulated economy would have a massive, massive impact on the daily lives of everyone it touches. Hypothetically, it would also strengthen the coercive power of capital to get others to do your bidding (if you’ve got the capital).
But that’s the thing, my system doesn’t block others from opting into more restriction. I think in a lot of ways, more government programs would help people, but it should be voluntary. I shouldn’t be told to do what you want from the end of a gun.

I don’t think it’s my place to decide what’s best for others, just as it’s not theirs to decide what’s best for me
