Reading a hard copy of The Anatomy of the State by #Rothbard has been really thought provoking.
One idea that came across my mind today is to revisit the programs and ideas in my mind that came from ...
I feel you.
Lately I’ve really internalized that the State is purely constructed from our fear, ego, and difficulty finding higher consciousness.
We feel emotions like fear or anxiety, then ego tells us it can’t be within us, so we abdicate responsibility to someone else to fix the problem that “someone else” is causing.
Which leads to the creation and fall of the State over and over because it truly emerges from us at the individual level. And when the State gets big enough, it starts synthetically fear mongering to acquire more control because it is made up of humans with the same flaws as us.
Before, the individual had no ability to defend itself against the fear driven collective. But now in the digital age, cryptography can actually protect the individual in a meaningful way and you don’t have to convince 51% of people that the change is inside them, not the government.
What a wild time to be alive.
(I love it when you post this stuff btw, it really gets my brain going 🙏🏻)
