Consider what would happen if We stopped accounting for Human energy entirely. The artificial scarcity created by that accounting system (money) would vanish and the vast abundance of Our planet could flow to ALL of Us, allowing every One of Us to live as richly as Each might CHOOSE.
And We just now (historically speaking) have the tech to remove energy accounting from Our society - though the tech is hidden and suppressed.
Money creates not only artificial scarcity, but poverty and privilege, oppression, wage/debt slavery, planned obsolescence (which creates the vast bulk of the waste on Our planet), bribery, paying of strong arms and armies, intrusion, and profiteering (war, prison, medical, pharmaceutical, food, water, air profiteering, to name a few).
But yes, Individually, We must choose to be sovereign or be slave. I choose sovereignty, but will create no controversy with anOther who thinks (S)He has "authority" over Me who offers to make Me subject, by refusing Their offer. I will be HAPPY to be subject IF They prove I am subject - and bullying Me into compliance does NOT prove I am subject, but merely that the bully can be a bully. As I do not consent to top-down controlmind, nor the loathsome legal system, there is NO proof I am subject.
