These feedback loops you're referring to, what order are you proposing for your chicken and your egg? What's causing what in your view?
This is a strange take. If you had to "consent" to laws there would be utter chaos. The places where you can pick and choose which laws apply to you have no real laws. And all of those places are dangerous and destitute. That's why laws are decided by the majority, there will always be dissenters for every law out there. Some harmless, but others that want to pillage, burn things down, and worse.
There will always be laws that you don't like, unless there's no laws at all.
The government plows the streets. Provides police and fire service. Makes sure street lights and sidewalks exist. Handles deeds for property. Handles court cases. If you had to "consent" to all these services providing benefits to other people the entire government would cease to exist.
"I have to consent to anything that doesn't directly benefit me" means a ton of things aren't even going to exist when you actually need them.
Which one of the causes was first in history seems academic and immaterial if we're at t>0 and wanting to devise a strategy to slow it down or stop it.
