bang my head against a brick wall. :/

I know. Unfortunately there are quite a few "free thinkers" on Steemit who frustrate me with their thinking. They love all things conspiracy theory related, and they make connections to everything. I'm sure my own thinking frustrates many as well when I talk about government as a monopoly on the use of force in a geographic region and how we might be able to thrive without a Hobbesian Leviathan. :)

We all have our stories we tell ourselves which make sense until a better one comes along. I remember how silly and ignorant I was in the past and I'm sure I'll chuckle in the future at myself today. At least, I hope so, because that means I've hopefully learned something along the way.
