A higher form of life needs less restraint, not more.

Change my view.

I like the Japanese model.

On an individual level, they are the smartest and most creative people out there. But as a society, they recognize they must still work together to serve the greater common good. Before WW2, this was known as praising their Sun God Emperor.

With individualism, you have too many geniuses running around but nobody to set them straight.. This is how we ended up with USA, where every Billionaire Company is treated like a Feudal Kingdom.

I call no man master. The Nip's first error is worshipping a fallen being.

And no man I worship will protect me in the wilderness from his kind.

I call no man master.

It is a shame this degenerate mentality has become associated with the "Right". It is a virtue to be against bad authority, but there is no virtue in being against authority in and of itself. You will always have a "master," if it is not big government, then it will be big business or some other source of power.

I don't know that "master" is a good word for any governing force or entity with power. It indicates subservience in an unhealthy way, one that can't be questioned with critical thought. Big businesses aren't elected, but have seized power through corruption. Most western governments rely on election methods, corrupt methods or not, to place people into seats of decision making. These are people that are also upheld to the same laws that they helped to create, along with any laws before and after their installation. They're elected guardians, not really masters. At least that's how I see it.

Anarchists might say that, but they mean more by it. Rejecting man as the ultimate authority does not mean to reject legitimate authority or hierarchies in general.
