HEROISM VS INDIVIDUALISM.

(think about this a bit)

Heroism and Sovereignty vs Individualism and Liberty.

Western ethic was the former. Enlightenment expansion the latter.

The former earned. The latter a given of nature.

All cults require rituals and the more costly the ritual the more we adhere to the cult. (Loss aversion). The lower the cost the lower the adherence – in all walks of life.

The pre-state people took oaths to create liberty. The post state people were to led believe they were given liberty by nature.

But one cannot be given liberty – one can only create it.

Liberty given is not liberty – but permission.

Liberty by social contract has no cost – and is not protected.

Sovereignty is constructed and defended at personal cost by heroes.

Everyone else merely has permission – or not.

Everyone else merely enjoys a condition of liberty by heroes’ permission.
