“When someone looks out at the world and sees all manner of suffering and injustice, stretching back for thousands of years and continuing today, he invariably blames such problems on someone else's hatred, greed, or stupidity. Rarely will someone consider the possibility that his own belief system is the cause of the pain and suffering he sees around him. But in most cases, it is. The root cause of most of society's ills--the main source of man's inhumanity to man--is neither malice nor negligence, but a mere superstition--an unquestioned assumption which has been accepted on faith by nearly everyone, of all ages, races, religions, education and income levels. If people were to recognise that one belief for what it is--an utterly irrational, self-contradictory, and horribly destructive myth--most of the violence, oppression and injustice in the world would cease. But that will happen only when people dare to honestly and objectively re-examine their belief systems. "The Most Dangerous Superstition" exposes the myth for what it is, showing how nearly everyone, as a result of one particular unquestioned assumption, is directly contributing to violence and oppression without even realising it. If you imagine yourself to be a compassionate, peace-loving, civilised human being, you must read this book.”

The Limit of our Obedience - Good People Break Bad Laws
TopherField's channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TopherField
There's only one power in history that has limited the size of government.
All other methods have failed... sooner or later.
And as government's today grow to unprecedented levels of power and control, aided by modern technologies which the tyrants of the past could only have dreamed of, we are faced in our generation with having to find the limits of our obedience once more.
