Maybe the acid was brown, maybe someone put something in the toadstool I ate, but I just don't get why anyone wants to force anyone to live in their ideal reality. We are different, and that is good! Some people are extroverts or introverts, Protestant, Catholic, or neither. We all come from different backgrounds, despite maybe sharing similarities.

So if we can acknowledge that, I just don't see why we don't work towards allowing those who disagree to live how they wish. I think this can be accomplished with alternative governance structures, such as free trade zones, seasteading, and other things I am probably not an expert on. I will admit that I am not 100% perfect in this either, but it seems like we could live in a healthier society if we could have an open market place for governance itself. Why would you want someone that is super introvert to join your kibbutz? Or alternatively someone who is about the collective to live in a conservative community?

I think this issue for me is also compounded by things like neurodiversity and ethnography. How I use something is different than how someone else might use it. This is even more true with people who are neurodiverse. I am not saying a neurodiverse nation would work, but finding a community that can help calm some of the trauma from such conditions is helpful. I know for myself trying to balance different priorities and trying to find a community that allows me freedom to be me without some restriction hitting me in the face is small. However, whether it be in the guise of mixed market (capitalist) or more socialist economies, there always seems to be restrictions that get in the way of self actualization.

This is not to discount terrorism or true evils in our world today, I get that, but it just seems like the nation state is not the best bargain for many people.
