The ultimate Capitalist Utopia(DAO)
April 11th, 2025

Ether literally means the space where we exist, the sound exists, the light exists, the reality exists, yes I am Indian(spiritually xd)

In Hindu Cosmology, the time is divided into 4 parts starting with Satya/Sat yuga and ending with Kali/KalYug, the main difference between the different yugas is the ratio of Dharma(the natural order of the universe) left in the universe(for us, the Earth) which comes to 4:3:2:1 which co-incidentally is also the ratio of number of years in each Yuga

So from human viewpoint, what were we all doing in SatYug that we are doing less today?

  • Absolute Truth-fullness cause there is no greed

  • No Greed which is a cause for materialism, attachment and ego which is cause fragmentation of knowledge which is the cause of fragmentation of societies, resources(wealth) which is the cause of making life difficult for others through competition such as wars and hunger

I don’t know why the people in satyug were so meditative or Dharma following, were their minds different, maybe we are just a part of large simulation

In the transition from satyug to kalyug, the tail-end of the change in human nature can be easily seen through what kind of society we are living in. In satyug there were no Rulers, people governed themselves and it was the perfect utopia(atleast for Regens:}), slowly the fragmentation of society came to fruition and suddenly there were Rulers, Kings who maintained the order either due to their materialistic needs or just to confront other with materialistic need to maintain/increase the ratio of Dharma.

Slowly, the ratio of kings with materialistic needs overpowered the ones with Dharma and with further fragmentation of society a new term came to exist - Individuality.

Individuality is such a beautifully disastrous thing, it gives so-called purpose to every living being in infinite ways(some dogs meow, hello Vitalik) due to the infinite types of individuals but at the same time making life difficult for Human Beings as a whole making co-ordination nearly impossible.

Capitalistic societies are a great way for co-ordination using greed(can be of anything, such setting world record for sucking most toes{I participated female only, he/him cuties:)}) as the primary factor, Communism is a failed attempt of coordinating society by trying to replicate Satyug but with replacing the co-ordination factor of Dharma with Resources allocation that too with a Ruler on top governing the efficiency of the project in a linear mathematical model.

Capitalistic Society are greatly influenced by Individuality as Individuality in modern society is governed by materialistic needs, all of which can be fulfilled by money(other name for resource allocation method).So, why not make some co-ordination systems instead of forcing every individual(see the pun) to work in the rice fields and make Satoshi proud.

Elinor Ostrom believe in firstly the cooperation b/w individuals to form small communities which can take care of the resources in their field of expertise/passion best and then this communities interact with each other just like old pretty nature's cells/molecules etc.

Solarpunks or regens are inspired from Elinor Ostrom’s Theory And the end goal of Solarpunks is the ultimate utopia of everyone satisfied with the resources they have in their tight knit community trading with other community and this happens in such a capitalist/greedy world cause the unique nature of resources in different communities but anonymity is never the question to arise in Solarpunks discussions due to the satisfied nature of the end-goal utopia cause of the assumption of them about human beings not being random and if any human gets some random deviation, then there should be a place for him in the infinite society utopia in an infinite loop.

So, what would this society would look like with infinite DAOs(societies), I would start with one of the biggest problems - homicides.

Imagine you are a serial killer(Alice) who has some kind of neurological disorder which forces him to hate old people as soon as they come to her sight and he has only 2 options, either to kill himself or kill the old guy/gal in front of him.
Now suppose, you are in the Solarpunk utopia where everyone has a place and can co-ordinate with other groups of people for any action he wants to do, so for this example specifically there is a tight-knit society called Oldie Haters and a huge society called Cute Oldies which encompasses all the human above 60 year(age is just a number sike), now within this Cute Oldies society there is a sub-society named Oldies want to die which encompasses old people with deadly disease with unbearable pain.

So now the serial killer puts a proposal in her small DAO(Oldie Haters) that he wants to kill an old person or either would kill himself, in today’s world he would be put behind bars and put up with a psychiatrist with all kind of drugs(scary for the poor guy ;{ ) but in the future utopia the Oldie Haters DAO passes her proposal after zk-verifying the guy’s condition and puts it onto transmission lines for all the infinite other DAO’s(societies) to vote and don’t forget it is a capitalist utopia, so there must be a incentive, for Alice the incentive is simple - not doing self-harm and for Bob(a guy from Cute Oldies) it’s two fold - dying in peace with some else getting to live and getting huge money from either Alice or her Oldie Haters DAO’s treasury which he can pass to whoever/whatever he wants.

And that’s how transaction will occur in future, fellow regens.

There are lot of complexities in between the simple lines I just wrote like who owns Oldie Haters DAO tokens, maybe it is government or maybe it is Cute Oldie DAO’s treasury who knows, it is a capitalist ZK utopia.

And for some extra words, this idea came to mind after reading polar article in EIC and a thought hit in mu brain that lunarpunks and solar punks are not the oppposite as they are portrayed, just read below.

Lunarpunks only motto is the safeguarding of their lives through anonymity but they never talk about the end goal of this anonymity, which I think doesn't matter in the end goal and coming onto end goal there can be 2 extremes, one the Solarpunks utopia where coordination is required but anonymity is not a problem cause it doesn't matter and other is Blade runner kind of dystopia/utopia where the Lunarpunks will be considered philosophical pioneers and in this dystopia/utopia coordination will still be needed just as it is needed today along with anonymity.

So in short :), Lunarpunks never talk about coordination and Solarpunks never talk about anonymity, so they can't be opposite.
