It is kind of messed up that as a human born into this world - a planet you inherit, you are unable to roam freely the surface, without filling out a bunch of forms, waiting decades in some cases and then getting permission to go.
I get the reasons, but still, feels very unnatural and unethical.
Begs the question: are we actually free?
Nope 😔
We are free to do what we want, but other people are free to do what they want as well, and includes trying to limit the freedoms of others. Unfortunately, there have always been people keen on marshalling as many resources as manageable to limit the freedom of people they view as below them. We call that government.
Humans are territorial. It's a biological fact, there's no point beating ourselves up for it. Until we find an alien civilization in which to find "the other", we will keep finding it anong ourselves.
Let’s find some aliens 👽
Yep. The authors of Sovereign Individual sort of predicted such comments to be propagated at this particular time of history 😀
Always has been.

Excerpt from:
“The Twilight of Gold”
The international gold standard was historically one of the most important adjuncts to the opening of the world to settlement and development. Whatever may be said by those who never look to the woods because of the trees, this creation of a world economy constituted one of the great and beneficial turning points in the history of mankind.
The meaning of the gold standard, with its unrestrained and uncontrolled private ownership of gold, cannot be appreciated in isolation from the institutional and psychological background that characterized the civilized world in the decades before 1914.
The outstanding feature of that period was the unity of the economic world as has not been achieved at any other time. There was a freedom of travel without passports, freedom of migration, and freedom from exchange control and other monetary restrictions. Citizenship was freely granted to immigrants. Capital would move unsupervised in any direction, and these movements could take any form. International trade had to overcome tariffs, but they were exceedingly low. There were hardly any quantitative restrictions on international trade (quotas, import prohibitions, etc.).
Definitely agreed

I don't get the reasons. "Man is born free but everywhere he's in chains" -Rousseau
I truly despise it.

Interesting thought
It is against God’s original design. We had abundance everywhere.
It feels unnatural because it is against what truth God placed in your heart. It’s against your base programming.
Agreed, it would be very nice to move freely
And seemingly anywhere, you can only take $10k USD equivalent with you
Unless you lie, or take another form of money 😅😉
These are the kinds of comments people who haven’t travelled enough seem to make. You think others are very much like you, and won’t start to impose their way of being, their religion, their customs on you. You are not tribal so you think others aren’t either. Big mistake.
Because this planet is a prison for your soul.
