I am now a double drop-out

Harking to my previous point on socialization: if some large proportion 'genuinely believes' in a social contract, doesn't it then exist by that virtue? Does it only count if they grow up in a Troglodytic society and then make an informed choice to be ruled, after first having experienced life not being ruled?

Is undergoing power aka being ruled necessary to make progress?

Is oppression a necessary tool to make society/humanity move forward and become more advanced?

If the majority believes in it, then they are misguided or don't truly understand what they are believing in. They should urgently read my posts in this thread to see the light

Also, believing in something doesn't automatically means it exists.

Harking back to the other point on definition of interest: what constitutes one's share, and who decides? Isn't it "absurd" to posit that if humans were 'perfect' they would just know what a 'fair share' is?

One thing's for sure: as long as there is a ruling class, the shares won't be fair.

When you enter the state in which there is no more dominance and thus no greed and selfishness, the shares will become fair, since everybody will only take what they need instead of piling up.
