It is remarkable that you have become less dependent on services of organized, social institutions. For many, the so-called "99%," such self-discipline, responsibility, and command over their lives belongs in fantasy, next to Tolkien's Hobbit. While I do not doubt your success in subduing your passions and appetites to be aligned with your life purpose and responsibilities, the ignorant peasants either have little apptitude or desire to achieve self-actualization. Take away institutional social, legal, and religious control, these free men will be eating each other within a week. For many, slavery is a step up from what they would have done to themselves, if allowed to be free.

I am sad that I cannot disagree with you on a single point you have made in this comment, except to quibble over numbers.
I certainly hope more than 1% of people is capable of freedom.
