Sovereigns cannot ‘give it up to god’ – that is an act of alienation of responsibility. A sovereign can neither surrender his rights or his responsibilities without breaking the contract for reciprocal insurance of sovereignty. This is why we must have stoicism in mind, and epicureanism in life. One is sovereign or not. Aristocracy requires sovereignty – the cult of non-submission. So we may need to face our permanent inequality of those who are sovereign for who responsibility is inalienable, and those who are serfs for whom responsibility is alienated by submission
