Actually, I had to address something smoking on the stove.
I’m curious as to why you believe humanity is born free and so on. The experience of the vast majority of human beings throughout our history has been subservience to other human beings. Why wouldn’t you consider that to be the natural state of humanity?
‘Why wouldn’t you consider that to be the natural state of humanity?’
we are not born to servitude, are we...? we may be subjected to it, through weakness and timidity, and various other mental malfeasances, and yes, the historical state of mankind is the story of corrupted will to power and its imposed enforcement...but our natural will is to freedom, both of action and thought; subservience is anathema to our free wills, willing or otherwise...
