    Yea, laws are made up. So is currency, boarders, sovereignty, human rights, and democracy. Made up things are consequential.

      Made up things are consequential.

      Sometimes

      All those things operate on Tinkerbell logic:

      currency, boarders, sovereignty, human rights, and democracy

      They can all be thrown away in an instance if people (for whatever reason) don’t fight for them.

      There will always be people who fight against those things, and people that don’t give a fuck too. But we always have to have enough willing to fight for them, the % necessary just fluctuates.

          All it takes is one other person and you can bring it back.

          I’d wager to bet that every single day, someone trades a seashell for something.

          And I like being pedantic, so I’d say that seashells are actively currency.

          Because that’s really all it takes.

      Exacly this, all of pur societally functioning things are based on our exceptance of enforcing rules upon purselves. Without laws, you can’t have human rights.
