The world is much less governable than we think it is, so we pay governments taxes to put on a painful oogabooga theater, where the pain is “proof of governedness.” “I filled out an annoying form and was on hold with bureaucracies for hours so the world must be orderly”

What if the world is mainly orderly because people believe it is more governed than it is, so it needs less governance than it should? Like an elephant that was chained up as a baby but as an adult still believes it can’t break out even though it’s now strong enough.
