Survival of the fittest

For those who want absolute freedom. To do what you please, when and how you want. No rules, no laws but just you and whatever you want. 

Just imagine the same goes for everyone else. No government. No rules, no regulations. Everyone can live his or her life exactly as he or she wants to. 

What if there was only one water source? And everyone wanted that. 

What if everyone defended his or her property? With semi-automatic rifles and other weapons.

What if everyone wanted what you have? And would be willing to obtain it, no matter the costs.

What if no one would let someone else tell them what to do or how to do it?

Would you like that?

Are you fit enough to live in a world with only one law?

'Fittest' is not 'most physical fit', nor is it 'strongest' or 'tallest'. Nor is it 'smartest' or even 'best equipped to withstand hardship'. 

'Fittest' basically means: 'Best adjusted to their environment. Well enough to succesfully reproduce.'

Could you adjust to your environment without any government assistance? Where you and you alone control your actions and others control theirs? What do you think would happen if people all stopped working at water- and powerplants? No more oil would come out of the ground? No more children would dig for the precious metals that make your car and cell phone work? You would eventually have to grow your own crops, make your own clothes, build your own house. You could choose not to do all that of course. You're totally free to do as you please, remember? You wouldn't have to cooperate with any government or other people. But you'd also be totally dead pretty soon.

Granted, you'd be absolutely, totally free. But could you survive if there was only one law?


That law would be called: survival of the fittest.
