Acceptance that the state is just a glorified cartel with better branding brings peace of mind. It’s society’s ultimate hydra—cut off its head and two more pop up to take its place.
But like any hydra, you can’t kill it by force—you have to starve it. Drug cartels need regulation to keep their products illegal. Legalise them and suddenly they’re just overpriced farmers. The state? It needs our reliance.
In modern history, protecting your wealth, speech and physical self at the same time wasn’t possible without a central authority like the state. In 2009, we cracked wealth. Now, we’re solving speech. Soon, we’ll figure out the physical self.
Solve all three and the hydra starves. No new heads. No new cartels. Just liberty for all.
