     Would you rather be a slave to a 9-to-5 with a TV and gaming system and clean water and bug-free food or would you rather be free be in a bear sanctuary a week after they awake from hibernation?
     
     We've really degraded the word "slave" ...slave's can't get addicted to meth, quit their jobs and lay out on the street.

     This isn't a great take. I think 2/3rds of society have to believe in it's oddity (divine right of the king, the church, the newspaper from the printing press, the radio, the news...) ...and conformity creates stability. It doesn't matter if what people believe is correct, only that 2/3 of them believe.
     
     Allowing people who don't believe to express themselves freely is essential to making society stable longer, and ensuring more individual liberties.
     
     But when half or 2/3 of people stop conforming ... whether they're "right" or "wrong," it does not matter. That State; that society ... it doesn't collapse. It evaporates. And what arises is rarely ever more free than the previous. It can't be.
     
     People aren't "stupid" for believing. That might be the limit of their capacity, or they might just be pragmatic.
