RE: Networked-States: The Transition Away From The Nation-State

Of course, the nation-state and religion often conflicted.

In fact a case could be made that the nation-state wrestled a great deal of control from the religions of the world.

Right , but my point is that physical power is just a secondary tool nation-states use to control people
So when you say that nation-state will disappear ( I agree on this)

But I am not sure to agree on "institutions were material in nature" , actually education systems in western Europe are compulsory until you get to a certain age

So , you learn to draw the borders of your "country" , the "history" of the winners and the language of your nation

Most people did not start using Facebook to escape the control state had of personal communications , but because many people used it

Even very clever people get scared when they get sick or happens a natural catastrophe, and they need to believe in a god , in science or technology

So at least technological advance gets to the level of change people psychology I find hard to see a massive change in society

Anyway , DAO will probably bring more freedom , but what will stop a new "DAO Facebook" manipulating society?

But out of this point I find your points really enlightening!
