Great piece. Thanks for sharing.

Most people do not want to be ruled.

I sometimes wonder. There's a sense in which their lives are easier if someone's always telling them what to do. It's much simpler to have a regimen laid out for you than be responsible for your own.

I share my perspective on the state and freedom with people, often with a response that seems to cling to the comfort and stability of being told what to do. In fact, I get the impression that most people who say they want to be free really don't know what it means, ultimately.

I hope I'm wrong, but I have my doubts.
