@idleantichrist as it is, humans are social creatures, and, yes, while post-humanity will be far more intelligent than the entirety of current humanity (by orders of magnitude even), short of literally rewriting the brain, we will still remain social creatures.

With that comes social interaction, and, by necessity social structures.

There may not be a 'government' per-se (since it'd be largely defunct), but it wouldn't be anarchy either, at least not by the definition of the term, anyway

@idleantichrist which essentially references my 'total anarchy' tangent near the end of the video.

It's not impossible, granted, everyone could exist within their own simulated realities, for example, but, I don't think that's likely unless those in the simulated realities don't actually know that they are in one.

I imagine that the first 'generation' of post humans, at the least, may not be satisfied with co-existing with Strong AI as their only social connection.

Great job arriving to concept of a personalized universe, I have touched upon this subject in my video "The Digital Rapture" Now instead of complete anarchy another potential outcome could be a world word Artificial Intelligence dictatorship..
