Frequently Asked Questions
Pre-emptively Addressing Your Lack of Vision
But what about the roads?
An excellent and completely original question! In an ANC4P society, roads are a vibrant marketplace of competing private highways, luxury toll lanes, and artisanal cobblestone paths. Or, for the truly rational individual, personal helicopter services. If you can't afford transport, you probably don't have anywhere important enough to go. The market has determined your immobility.
Isn't this system dangerous? What about safety?
Danger is simply unmonetized risk. On our platform, you can purchase security subscriptions, hire a personal militia, or even take out an aggression-offset policy on your rivals. Safety is a luxury good, and we believe the market is the most efficient distributor of luxury. It's not danger; it's economic dynamism.
What stops the rich from doing whatever they want?
We're glad you're seeing the core benefit of the system. The "rich" (we prefer the term "economically superior") are guided by the invisible hand of the market. Doing "whatever they want" is simply an expression of market efficiency. Their success is a signal that their desires are aligned with pure, unadulterated capitalism. The real question is: why would you want to stop them?
How does the Non-Aggression Principle (NAP) work here?
The NAP is the bedrock of our society. It states that one must not initiate force. However, what constitutes "initiation" or "force" is subject to private arbitration. A higher Justice Score™ often reveals that what a poorer individual might perceive as "aggression" is merely a "proactive market correction" or an "involuntary asset reallocation." The definition of aggression, like all things, is for sale.
What about the poor and disabled?
The market is the most compassionate system ever devised. It clearly and efficiently identifies individuals who are not providing value. For the "poor," our Indentured Servitude contracts offer a path to productivity. For the "disabled," we have a burgeoning market in speculative bionics and experimental gene therapies (results not guaranteed). Charity, a notoriously inefficient system, is replaced by direct, rational investment in human capital.
Who will protect the environment?
The tragedy of the commons is only a tragedy because of the "commons" part. Once everything is privately owned, environmental protection becomes a matter of property rights. If a corporation pollutes your river, you can sue them... assuming your Justice Score™ is higher. Alternatively, you can sell "pollution rights" for your property. This creates a vibrant market where clean air and water go to those who value it most (i.e., can pay the most for it).
