This is clearly not true as the scenario would rapidly descend into people doing as they please interfering with the ability of others to do as they please. Even our roads don't work like that. From the earliest days of motorised travel, drivers very quickly learned that, generally speaking, co-operation and consideration for other road users allows for everyone to get to their destinations with the minimum of inconvenience. Anyone want to tell the class what sort of scenario would inevitably ensue if everyone decided to abandon the rules of the road and decide just to 'do as they pleased'? I suspect the phrase "the world would be better" might not be included.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
