We live in an era of unprecedented technological progress, and yet malaise seems to spread like a shadow over society. Millions of people experience anxiety, dissatisfaction, and a sense of emptiness, despite material abundance. But what if the cause of all this wasn't an economic or political crisis, but something deeper? Something that has to do with the fundamental laws that govern our existence?
I have reflected long on this paradox, and I have come to a conclusion that many might find uncomfortable: the problem is not in the lack of resources, but in our rebellion against the very laws of life. There are two types of laws in the world: those created by God – or if you prefer, by Nature – and those created by man. The first are eternal, immutable, and pro-life; the second are temporary, arbitrary, and, too often, against life.
The Fatal Divergence: Natural Laws vs. Human Laws
The laws of God, or natural laws, are simple and powerful. They stimulate growth, promote prosperity, and guide evolution. Think of the law of the seed: plant it in the right ground, care for it, and it will bear fruit. It is a law that favors life. On the contrary, many human laws are designed to control, limit, and extract.
Oppressive taxes, suffocating regulations, Kafkaesque bureaucratic systems: these are not laws that nourish, but that limit to the point of destruction.
"He who knows the laws of God does not want and cannot be governed according to the laws of man."
This is not a political statement, but an existential truth. When we act in harmony with natural laws – such as the principle of cause and effect, the pursuit of personal excellence, responsibility for our actions – we tend to flourish. When instead we submit to a system of human laws that rewards mediocrity, punishes success and forcibly redistributes wealth, the result is predictable: involution and regression.
The Undeniable Evidence: Inequality and Suffering
Let's look at the data. The global distribution of wealth becomes more unequal every year that passes. According to Oxfam reports, the richest 1% own almost twice as much wealth as the rest of the planet. But this is a symptom, not the cause. The root cause is that the vast majority of people – I estimate over 90% – live unconsciously according to human laws that are in direct conflict with natural laws.
These people, often in good faith, are indoctrinated to believe in a false God: the god of the State, the god of consumerism, the god of social conformity. They have become "governed" or "institutionalized", individuals who have surrendered their natural sovereignty in exchange for a false sense of security.
The result? They constantly act against their own best interest and against the best interest of humanity, perpetuating a system that generates suffering.
But if human laws are so harmful, why do we accept them? The answer lies in cultivated ignorance and a detachment from the most essential philosophy.
Man Against Nature: A Dangerous Anomaly
Man is the only entity on Earth that lives systematically against nature. Animals follow their instincts, ecosystems maintain balance. We build societies that reward dependence, discourage risk, and criminalize difference. This rebellion against the natural order is not an act of freedom, but of unconscious self-destruction.
Are those governed, those who ignore God's law, destined, by the will of nature itself, to lose the right to life? Nature is not cruel, it is consequential. Like an organism expels diseased cells to preserve the whole, so the natural system favors those in harmony with it. This is not a moral judgment, but a description of how reality works.
The Elite of Awareness: Less than 0.03%
Here comes the most controversial point of my thesis, but also the one supported by historical observation. It is less than 0.03% of the world's population who truly understand the nature of man and divine laws.
These individuals – whom we can call the true philosophers – are often the "masters of the world," not because they conspire in the shadows, but because they understand the fundamental rules of the game.
They are the intellectual descendants of the philosophers of ancient Rome and Greece, those who studied human nature not to control it, but to understand it. For them, philosophy is not an academic pastime, but the most important subject of all, the map for navigating reality. While the masses are preoccupied with discussing politics or entertainment, this elite studies the eternal laws that govern wealth, power, and survival.
Questions That Invite Reflection
If my theses have a grain of truth, then we must ask ourselves uncomfortable questions:
- Is our education system teaching us to live according to natural laws or human laws? Why is philosophy, the study of the fundamental nature of things, marginalized in school curricula?
- Is our search for security through laws and regulations making us weaker and more dependent, violating the natural principle of self-sufficiency?
- If inequality is a consequence of living under counterproductive human laws, are the proposed solutions (more taxes, more redistribution) simply treating the symptoms and worsening the disease?
Can we truly consider ourselves free if our lives are governed by thousands of human-made laws that no single individual can fully know or understand?
- And the most crucial question: are we among the 90% who live unconsciously against nature, or do we have the courage to join that tiny 0.03% who seek to live according to divine laws?
The path out of global malaise does not lie through political reforms or economic revolutions. It lies through a revolution of individual awareness. Let us begin to study not what man says, but what Nature demonstrates. Rediscover philosophy not as a history of thought, but as a manual for survival and prosperity. Only then can we begin to replace the laws that destroy with the laws that create life.
The price of ignorance of God's laws is paid by us all, every day, in terms of anxiety, conflict, and unrealized potential. The choice, as always, is individual. On which side of the law do we choose to stand?
