    Are you absolutely certain there's not possibly an "operator error" with that Slapchop? lol ;)

    Many of the great thinkers also believe that to suffer is to know oneself... Most of the time the cognitive process is a struggle of free will, that free will has a hefty price... The price is laws, morality, ethics etc.
    Freud may be right and we have this constant struggle taking place between the ID, Ego, SuperEgo ...I believe that the struggle is to know, and to suffer or be tormented is how we gain self knowledge, or otherwise we become blissful sheep.

    Well, then...consider me I have a considerable amount of self-knowledge ;-)

    Although, I believe that morality and ethics can/should supersede laws...in my post, I forgot to add a link to a post in the Deconstruction Series where I talk about Freedom and Laws.

    ...as the link suggests (as seen above)...I can't wait for a day where we don't need Laws to keep Order.

    Good statement Paul.

    As for not needing Laws to keep Order (if we're talking about it in the context of ID, Ego and SuperEgo), I seem to think that UNLESS EVERYONE has the exact same balance of ID, Ego and SuperEgo we will always need Laws to keep Order (otherwise the system will not feel stable to everyone other than the one assessing their own actions in a situation).

    Truly...and I think that's what I try to hit on in my post on Freedom & Laws.

    I mention that people need to become tolerant and reasonable......and, I quote, "If people behaved themselves; if people took responsibility for their actions; if people could get along well with each other...we wouldn't need laws...and only then would we have a Free society."
