It makes nice rhetoric, but this is simply not true, you know. Most people correctly evaluate that you have no chance for freedom at all if you commit suicide, whereas a slave *does* have a chance.
Assuming he recognizes that he *is* a slave. Most people are oblivious to this fact.
(By "irrational" here I am referring to behaviour clearly contrary to your own survival.)
'Tis true. War is a perfect example of what happens when too many people act irrationally.
I'm interested in avoiding war without becoming a slave in the process. Anyone else?
Sounds like a good deal. However, most people who engage in war are not in any sense free and the single most apparent feature of life in a military organization is the elimination of freedom and privacy. It is most often the case that in order to wage war, one must first become enslaved.
