In the scope of human history, you hit the jackpot. Maybe we’ll be able to continue saying that for decades to come, perhaps things will change.

But if you’re living right now the chances are that you are the living amongst the safest eras from violence in human history. Your chances of living in poverty are the amongst the lowest they’ve ever been. Your chances of being killed from extreme weather are amongst the lowest in history.

Your quality of life is likely better than the overwhelming majority of humans that have ever lived, royalty included.

But there are people that wish to rule you and own your labor and own your choices.

And when there is a madman who kills...

And when there is a storm that damages...

And when a man from south of the border rapes...

And when a man with a beard commits terror...

Those people will be there to try to make you forget that you never before in history would have lived with more choices and more wealth and more safety...

And so THEY must be the ones to take away your choices and wealth in order to give you the safety you already have.
