“There is no governor anywhere; you are all absolutely free. There is no restraint that cannot be escaped. We are all absolutely free. If everybody could go into dhyana at will, nobody could be controlled — by fear of prison, by fear of whips or electroshock, by fear of death, even. All existing society is based on keeping those fears alive, to control the masses. Ten people who know would be more dangerous than a million armed anarchists.” - Robert Anton Wilson
Correct.
And when you're the one trying to impose force on someone, it becomes very clear. Fear and Respect are the only two things that keep you alive.
Where I differ from many is that Respect is far better than fear, but it's also far more difficult and limits your options to a far greater degree. Respect is the natural libertarian form of leadership. Fear is the natural authoritarian one.
