Have you ever wondered that if the group that hallucinates is large enough, maybe it's you that's actually hallucinating?

- verisimi 3y agoYou are talking about the concept of countries - an idea. A country is something that is enlivened in the minds of individuals - without people thinking in terms of 'Germany' or whatever there are no countries. It doesn't actually exist. It is a convention. But unlike the neutral/useful conventions of driving on one side of the road, or having your cutlery set like so, this convention demands that you give it money, whether you agree with it or not. It will say which plants, what food, which wars, etc. It is a means of control, a way to get people to do things they wouldn't do, against their consciences, for the ostensible benefit of "the greater good", but in fact, for the benefit of those with power and money who draft special words everyone else has to follow. As if anyone can tell another what is right or wrong.
- mariusor 3y agoYour philosophy on how to live life seems to be very different than most others'. You could at try to accept that and acknowledge the difference is on your side, instead of straight faced telling us that society doesn't exist and we're all wrong but you. The way you muddle through concepts doesn't really seem consistent and it might be worth your time examining your beliefs more closely in relation to one another.
