The Moment That Everything Came Together for Me With Thomas Hobbs and His Leviathan

The idea of understanding that these relics of our evolutionary past are not intrinsically bad is actually very useful. Hobbs would advise that we shouldn't artificially create a state of nature in our lives when none exists. After all, we signed the social contract. It's counter intuitive. This is the insight that really helped me get past a lot of my irrational fears. And they all came to a head on a single day in my life. I will never forget this moment, because it is the moment that everything came together for me with thomas hobbs and his leviathan.
