The devil is in the details
This could possibly be a thread...but I'm lazy.
But I was listening to a AM station talk show, and a caller (happened to be a Hebrew Israelite) was arguing a point that people all over the world really aren't "free". Basically saying that no matter where you live, you are under the rule of some government/regime and "freedom" as we know it really isn't free.
It made me think about places like Sentinel Island and how the natives there are basically one of the last "independent" societies that haven't really been contacted by the outside world.
To me, that's freedom in its highest form. No taxes. No "first world problems". Just people, living how they have for centuries.
Would it be possible to go back to that?
I hear you... But for all we know, they have some sort of tax system, be it in currency (or what's used as currency) or labor. Nobody who isnt Sentinelese knows because nobody else speaks their language. But all societies have some kind of rules, but in their case there is a great chance that they themselves enforce them, versus some other entity like the police, or detached and centralized government.
But rule making and enforcing seems to be something we all do.
