Society itself is a codified hero system, which means that society everywhere is a living myth of the significance of human life, a defiant creation of meaning.

What changes is the perception of who or what is doing it and why.

Michael Malice, Murray Rothbard, Max Stirner, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, David Friedman, Peter Kropotki...
