A) Human rights and Zap
Human rights and Zap
đ¤ Teen Interview: âBut Who Keeps Me Safe on OboxPlanet?â
Interviewer (Lia, age 15):
Okay, so⌠I just landed on OboxPlanet, and my first question is kind of urgent:
If thereâs no government here, whoâs protecting my life and my property?
OboxPlanet Local (Ravi):
Haha, welcome! Thatâs one of the most common Earth questions. But let me flip it around:
On Earth, who protects you?
Lia:
Hmm⌠I guess the police? The courts? The government?
Ravi:
Fair answer. But on OboxPlanet, we do it differentlyâwith one clear rule: The Zero Aggression Principleâor ZAP.
Lia:
ZAP? Sounds like a superhero move.
Ravi:
Kinda is! It means: No one is allowed to use force or threatsâunless itâs to defend themselves. No matter who you are, the ruleâs the same. No one gets special power. Some people on Earth call it the Non-Aggression Principle, or NAP. But honestly? NAP sounds like nap time. ZAP sounds like clarity and action. And when kids call it âZappyâ, it just fits. (Because yeah⌠âNappyâ? Kinda weird.)
Lia:
Okay, but what if someone breaks that rule? Thereâs no police, right?
Ravi:
Rightâno government police. But we have private protection agencies, kind of like private security on Earth, just way more common. You choose the ones you trust. If thereâs a conflict, they step inâpeacefully and fairly.
Lia:
So you hire your own justice squad?
Ravi:
Exactly! And if they start acting shady, you fire themâlike switching phone plans. Competition keeps them honest. On Earth, you canât exactly unsubscribe from your local police department.
Lia:
But what if two people have different agencies and they donât agree?
Ravi:
Then the agencies talk it outâlike insurance companies on Earth after a car crash. They have strong reasons to cooperate: keeping clients happy. Peaceful conflict resolution? Itâs not just a dream hereâitâs smart business.
Lia:
So instead of violence and politics, itâs about reputation and contracts?
Ravi:
Exactly. And hereâs the kicker: violence is expensive. Agencies that use force have to pay huge wages, take legal risks, and lose trust. Peaceful agencies? Cheaper, safer, and way more popular. On OboxPlanet, peace works because it makes senseâmorally and economically.
Lia:
So this ZAP rule⌠it actually works?
Ravi:
Exactly. ZAP is the only real human rightâbecause itâs the only principle that applies to everyone, equally. Whatâs the alternative? That some people get to use force, and others donât? Thatâs not a human rightâthatâs a double standard. ZAP is simple: no one may start violence. Ever. No exceptions.
Lia:
Wow. Thatâs kind of⌠beautiful?
Ravi:
It is. ZAP isnât about control. Itâs about freedom with responsibility. Ask yourself, âWhat would Zappy do?â and youâll usually find the peaceful path.
đŻ Bonus Thought from Ravi (as they walk away):
âOh, and one last thing⌠You said the government protects you on Earth. But think about it: It also forces you to pay for its services, even if you didnât ask for them. If you refuse, it fines you. If you resist, it arrests you. Imagine if a neighbor did that. Youâd call it a crime. So why is it okay when the government does it?â
Lia (thinking):
Whoa. I never thought of it that wayâŚ

đ Liaâs Journal: âOne Rule to Rule Them All?â
Okay, real talk:
At first, I didnât get how this place works.
No government? No police? No rules??
I thought chaos would break out in five minutes.
But then I learned about ZAP.
ZAP stands for Zero Aggression Principleâand itâs the rule on OboxPlanet.
đ§ So what is ZAP?
Itâs actually super simple:
Do whatever you want with your own body and your own stuffâjust donât hurt others or mess with whatâs theirs.
Thatâs it.
No exceptions.
No âbut I work for the governmentâ loopholes.
Becauseâplot twistâthere is no government here.
đ Flashback to EarthâŚ
On Earth, there are two types of people:
1.The Rule Makers â governments, tax offices, police, etc.
2.Everyone Else â aka regular people like you and me.
The rule makers can do stuff weâd get arrested for.
If you threaten someone to get money, youâre a criminal.
But if the government does it, they call it⌠âtax collection.â
And if you refuse? Fines. Jail. Yikes.
See the problem?
Two sets of rules. One for them. One for us.
đŞ But here on OboxPlanet?
Thereâs only one rule for everyone.
No matter who you are, no oneâs allowed to hurt, steal, threaten, or boss you around.
No special class. No power pass. No VIP violence.
Itâs like the ultimate level playing field.
Thatâs what makes it a classless society.
Not just rich vs. poorâbut no one gets to play god over others.
âď¸ Is ZAP a human right?
Yep. Actually, itâs the only real human right that treats every person the same.
You donât need to go to law school to understand it.
Even little kids get it:
âDonât hurt people. Donât take their stuff.â
Every religion Iâve ever heard of says something like that too.
đŹ Waitâso is lying allowed?
Good question.
ZAP doesnât tell you whatâs nice or moral.
It just says: donât use force.
Lying, cheating, gossipingâthose might be super uncool, but unless they involve real harm or violence, theyâre not âillegalâ here.
But trust meâon OboxPlanet, your reputation follows you everywhere.
Be shady, and people stop dealing with you. Fast.
đ So why isnât Earth like this?
Honestly? Thatâs a huge questionâand kind of a rabbit hole.
(Think: history, politics, power, control. Big stuff.)
But right now?
Weâre not here to fix Earth.
Weâre here to imagine something better.
Something fair. Peaceful. Free.
So⌠ready to explore more?
Letâs go.

đ§ Earth Clues: Real Places That Lived Without a State
Liaâs Log, Entry #14
Okay⌠this is wild. I thought the idea of a stateless society only existed on OboxPlanet.
But guess what? Earth actually had places like this too. For real. No presidents, no kings, no government telling people what to doâand yet things worked (more or less).
Let me tell you about two cool examples:
đ 1. The Tribes of Ancient Israel â No King, No Problem?
A long time ago, way before social media (like waaay before), there were 12 tribes living in the land of Israel.
They had no government. No president. Not even a mayor. Just⌠tribes doing their thing.
â˘Each tribe had its own leaders and territory.
â˘If people had a fight, they didnât call the policeâelders or judges helped settle things.
â˘One of the most famous judges was a guy named Samuelâa wise leader, but not a boss.
But after a while, people got scared. They said:
âWe want a king! Everyone else has a king!â
Samuel warned them:
âA king will take your kids, your food, your money⌠and make your lives miserable.â
God even backed that up. But the people didnât listen.
Guess what happened next?
Yup. Kings came. And they brought wars, taxes, and drama.
Big lesson: Be careful what kind of power you wish for. You might not like the price.
đ§ 2. Iceland: Land of Fire, Ice, and⌠Freedom?
Around the year 1000, Iceland was doing something totally different.
No government. No king. No single ruler.
Just a bunch of independent farmers figuring things out together.
They met once a year at a big gathering called the Thing (no joke, thatâs what it was called).
â˘Everyone could speak up and help decide stuff.
â˘They solved problems by talking, not fighting.
â˘No police. No prisons. Just social rules and personal responsibility.
Sure, it wasnât perfect. People disagreed. Sometimes things got messy.
But it worked for hundreds of yearsâwithout anyone being âin charge.â
Eventually, Iceland got pulled into outside religions and kingdoms. But their do-it-yourself freedom style? Super inspiring.
đĄ So What Can Earth Learn From This?
Turns out, the idea of people living without a state isnât just sci-fi. Itâs real and itâs possible.
Both ancient Israel and Iceland show us that:
â People can organize without rulers.
â Conflicts can be solved through discussion, not force.
â Freedom can workâif people take responsibility.
Sure, things werenât always perfect. But no system is. The cool part?
These societies chose freedom, and they made it work for a long time.
đ Back to OboxPlanetâŚ
Now weâre the explorers. Weâve seen the clues from Earthâs past.
The question is: Can we imagine a future that learns from those lessons?
A future where peace and cooperation replace force and control?
Yeah. I think we can. Letâs build it.

đ So⌠What Does This Mean for You?
Liaâs Final Thoughts:
Okay, letâs be real. A stateless society sounds like something from a sci-fi book or a video game.
Can it actually happen? Maybe. Maybe not soon.
But hereâs the thing: thatâs not the only question that matters.
Hereâs what does matter:
đĽ Why Should We Care?
1. Because ideas can change the worldâwhen the time is right.
Right now, a lot of people still believe the state is the only way to solve big problems.
But what if that changes? What if a system breaks, or something stops workingâlike
⢠welfare systems running out of money
⢠wars that go on forever
⢠people losing trust in politics?
At that point, people will look for new ideas.
If theyâve never heard of peaceful, stateless solutions⌠theyâll never choose them.
Thatâs why we explore OboxPlanet nowâbefore the crisis.
2. Because right is rightâeven if itâs unpopular.
Some people say,
âWhy bother dreaming about a stateless society? Itâll never happen.â
But thatâs like saying,
âWhy speak out against bullying? Itâll never go away.â
If we believe itâs wrong to hurt people or force them to obeyâeven if itâs done by governmentsâthen we have to say so.
Even if itâs just in words.
Even if itâs just an idea.
Because the truth matters, even when itâs small.
3. Because history is full of surprises.
Seriouslyâgo ask your parents if they thought the Berlin Wall would fall when they were kids.
Or that people would carry tiny computers in their pockets.
Or that social media would become more powerful than TV.
The biggest changes are often the ones nobody expected.
So who says people wonât one day question why they ever needed rulers?
đ So What Can You Do?
You donât need to start a revolution.
You just need to stay curious. Ask questions.
Think deeply. Speak honestly.
⢠Share ideas that inspire you.
⢠Donât be afraid to imagine better ways of living.
⢠Keep OboxPlanet in your back pocketânot as a fantasy, but as a guide for whatâs possible.
Because even if the world doesnât change tomorrowâŚ
youâre already part of something powerful.
Youâre part of the next generation of explorers.
Letâs keep exploring. đ
