RE: Weed Should Be Legal — but Not Because "It's Medicine" [Steemit Exclusive]

It's not all about you.

My experience is all about me, as yours is all about you, and hers is all about her. Each of our experience is centered exclusively in ourself, in our body, in our mind.

You live in a town or city, with hundreds if not millions of people. Who are you to say that the people collectively do not have a right to impose whatever order they see fit to impose?

Because no group has any rights more or different from those of any given individual in that group. Otherwise, any time two (or more) men decided to rape a woman, they would have that right because there are more of them.

Looked at another way, the whole idea of "inalienable rights" is a fiction.

So anyone can do anything the want to you, with your body?

The order in human society comes from men. It comes from the testosterone driven competition between man and man and between man and Nature, to seize territory and to impose dominion and order upon that territory so that the people who live upon that territory can live with peace and security and prosperity. That is the nature of the world. That is where order comes from.

You are referring to people killing each other, raping, pillaging, and destroying the land as order, peace and security... Order comes from nature, from the evolution of any given system towards equilibrium.

But if you pierce the veil and see how things really are, and how they really came to be the way that they are, you find that the order that makes your life possible was given to you by men who died on battlefields and by kings who seized land and imposed order.

Actually, most of the order in the world exists in spite of those men killing on command and the "kings" commanding it. Genocide is anathema to order, war is anathema to order, punishing others for actions that harmed nobody is anathema to order.

You think like a child. People generally who live in urban society today think like children. This is not a criticism of you; you were born and raised into this situation. But now you must do something to leave your childish thinking behind and to grow up into good strong men and good strong women.

By identifying as a slave with no agency in your own life, except that allowed by the masters who "maintain order" for you?
