    Someone thought me the concept of a legal fiction and I still think about it.

    Land ownership, companies, nation states, citizenship: all exist because we agree that it does.

        This crooked little vein of logic is what gave us sovereign citizens though, so be careful. Time may be an illusion and all, but schedules still exist.

          I mean they aren’t technically wrong some of the time, we shouldn’t have to pay to exist it’s fucking crazy.
