Protection mechanisms do not need to be "layer 1" (on-chain) solutions, though. There are many possible forms these could take. For example, a multisig wallet gives you very secure cold storage of your BTC/whatever.

Every day over 100,000 humans die due to age-related disease. The lack of research in aging and life extension is one of the biggest resource misallocation of our times, and it is leading to massive welfare losses.…
You will need to define 'deflationary'. Are you assuming the price of bitcoin (in real goods) will always go up? Why? That would imply an enormous market failure. The supply of bitcoin will increase until the year 2140…

There are escrow services for blockchain transactions; the difference to digital fiat is that you are not forced to use a middleman.
Why do you believe a global PoS currency will be controlled by US actors? The US has a 10--20% share of global GDP. Regardless, history has proven that the most legitimate branch of a blockchain wins, irrespective of…
No, presumption of innocence is first and foremost a moral principle. Our legal systems are reflections of our collective morals.

There are many organisms that appear to be able to live for exceedingly long times (and perhaps indefinitely). Disregarding unicellular organisms, there are, for example, species of jellyfish that appear biologically…
To add to the siblings' comments, it is also likely that a lack of privacy leads to groupthink. Groupthink may propagate misinformation, as people become afraid to speak up against it.

Emacs can run as an elisp interpreter, check out the '--script' switch. This makes it possible to run org-export without starting an emacs session.
