A practical roadmap to reclaiming individual and financial sovereignty\u00a0\u2013 Part I of II<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those who are familiar with my ideas and my writings undoubtedly know that one the issues I\u2019m most passionate about is individual freedom, on all levels. I believe that free-thinking people know what\u2019s best of them and they need no\u00a0\u201cguardians\u201d, no\u00a0\u201cnannies\u201d and certainly no bailiffs and enforcers, to limit or to dictate their choices\u00a0\u201cfor their own good\u201d. As long as those choices cause no harm or damage to nobody else and they violate no property that isn\u2019t theirs, all that should govern the individual\u2019s choices is their own conscience.<\/p>\n

However, today\u2019s\u00a0\u201cleaders\u201d, in politics and in the corporate world alike, clearly think otherwise. They view humans as fundamentally flawed, as eternal children to be educated and scolded, as cattle to be herded and as weaklings to be protected and patronized. And they believe themselves to be different, to be above us all, unaffected by all the imperfections and shortcomings that make us human. They really think they are wiser and smarter than most of their fellow men and women. They\u2019re more compassionate too: this is why they view it as their duty to guide the rest of us, to show us a better way; their way. And if we dare question it, or god forbid, resist it, well\u2026 Then we\u2019d be a danger to the\u00a0\u201cgreater good\u201d and we\u2019d be treated as such.<\/p>\n

None of this a new problem, of course, as these dynamics emerged together with the first organized society. However, modern technologies, new modes of communication and the way that globalization ensured that the\u00a0\u201cbutterfly effect\u201d would be a daily occurrence, ensured that this sort of oppression and suppression went from being\u00a0\u201ca\u201d problem, to\u00a0\u201cour\u201d problem. Each and every one of us is directly affected. Honest, productive, decent, free-spirited and questioning people are being punished, ostracized and penalized even day.<\/p>\n

But even those who find the current status quo\u00a0\u201ccomfortable\u201d and who enjoy life in an increasingly centralized system and under an increasingly overreaching State, will undoubtedly soon come to regret it. After all, for any ruling elite to continue ruling, there must always be an enemy within and that\u2019s historically a moving target. The\u00a0\u201cgreedy rich\u201d or the\u00a0\u201cfreeloading poor\u201d, the\u00a0\u201crabble-rousing minority\u201d or the\u00a0\u201coppressive majority\u201d, it doesn\u2019t matter which group one will be assigned to. Nobody\u2019s safe, not for long anyway.<\/p>\n

It takes extreme cynicism or pitiable naivety to decide to play this rigged game and to choose to remain in a system as clearly corrupt and inhumane as this. In fact, one would assume that the majority of rational, sensible, self-respecting and responsible people would have left this system already\u00a0\u2013\u00a0and yet they haven\u2019t. Not\u00a0\u201cthe majority\u201d anyway, but perhaps\u00a0\u201cnot yet\u201d.<\/p>\n

The reasons that would stop someone from \u201copting out\u201d are understandable and relatable. Fear of being outside one\u2019s community is probably chief among them. However dysfunctional and malicious that community it might be, it still offers a sense of\u00a0\u201cbelonging to a group\u201d, something that every human is hardwired to seek out and to value. We are social animals and since the day we\u2019re born we know that our survival depends on being accepted by a tribe.<\/p>\n

It is indeed a huge leap of faith: to go at it alone, to purposefully detach and isolate oneself, in search of a\u00a0\u201cbetter\u201d group \u2013 one that embraces the same values, principles and morals. At the beginning of the journey, nobody knows when and even if they will find their new\u00a0\u201ctribe\u201d. Doubts and regrets test the resolve of even the strongest and most determined amongst us. The whole endeavor of reclaiming and defending one\u2019s independence can start to look like a pointless exercise, like a pre-doomed, quixotic undertaking, fit for children and rebellious teenagers.<\/p>\n

However, there is a stage after that, and quite regrettably, most people don\u2019t ever get to experience it: after overcoming fear and doubt, there is a precious adventure to be had, a path of discovery inwardly and outwardly, many surprises, twists and turns and countless valuable lessons learned along the way. This, in my humble opinion, is the true prize: the journey, not the destination.<\/p>\n
