We're trained to be children.

Abortion. Homosexuality. Politics. Religion. Everyone screaming about what others should do with their lives.

The real issue? We've forgotten how to make responsible choices.

For 95% of human history — 190,000 years — we lived without governments. Hunter-gatherers making their own decisions. Freedom paired with responsibility.

Then 10,000 years of external authority. Being told what to do. How to live. What to think.

We atrophied.

Remove government tomorrow and chaos would follow. Not because humans are incapable. Because we've been systematically untrained.

Freedom without responsibility is chaos.
Responsibility without freedom is slavery.

We need both. We forgot how.
