I have a pretty good life, I think. I'm not going hungry. I'm in good health. I have a safe, warm place to sleep at night. If I wanted to make myself rich, buy a big house and an expensive car, I could do it. Nobody's stopping me. So the Illuminati or the NWO or the Masons have done okay by me.
But if you start to get hung up on abstractions, like "liberty" or "privacy," without a clear idea of what you mean and how those things are specific to you, then of course you'll worry. And you'll always feel like something is being threatened or taken away from you by these shadowy forces, even though you might never have had those things to begin with.

Quest:
Get out more. People are mostly good. Thats why the corrupt few always get ousted.
Enkidu:
Try to think of how you, personally, are affected by the situation. Don't put it in some abstract context, like, "Oh, my freedom is being threatened!" Try to define exactly how your freedom is being threatened. Is there some way that your life is diminished by being ruled by a "despot?" Specifically, how?
