Human life is action: people speak, trade, and associate by nature. Sovereign orders overlay hindrance through taxation, censorship, and control, while parasovereign orders preserve continuity when overreach occurs. The central tension today is between action itself and the hindrance imposed upon it.

And by freeing your self of fear and acting freely you become a sovereign individual.

There is no such thing as a sovereign individual. Autonomous yes; sovereign no.

I said OK because I accept your opinion. However I do not agree as in the end I only answer to my self. I am born free and will die free. We can disagree its OK.

Gunnar, every one of the definitions in that OED article says what I say, with the exception of the Twain quote, which it also says is no longer used. 😁

I know it’s the style in Bitcoin circles to talk about "sovereign individuals," but I choose to be autonomous instead.

Cool, lets not argue about lexical sematics.
