    The ancient Bubbles, who pretty much gave birth to European culture, had a deep distrust of rampant individualism. Their gods hated hubris, and any man who got too far above his station generally came to a sticky end. Icarus being one obvious example.

    It was said of the Athenians that despite their love of liberty, they knelt before a ruler, and the name of that ruler was The Law.

    The common good always came before self interest, as it had to in a society where every man would be expected to take his place beside his neighbors in the shield wall. The Spartans in particular, would literally beat the individualism out of their young men.

    I've never liked hummus myself so I completely understand the God's stance.

    Homemade hummus is 1000x better than the stuff in plastic pots that looks like putty.

    Archers revealed as an Authoritarian.

    Beat the individual until he signs up to the States "greater good".

    Despite the lessons of history, where the greater good is abused by despots, continually, he harks for more.

    Get your head in order you ignorant bastards.

    How do you make hummus (I'm never sure how you are supposed to pronounce it to be honest, I should look up my dictionary).

    Maybe I would like it if I made it myself.

    Have you got a go to recipe Archie?

    Yeah, I didn't actually say any of that. Just pointing out that the cult of the individual has it's limitations. You obviously want to live in a completely atomised, dog-eat-cat society where it's every man for himself, and **** your neighbour. I don't think that's a great way to go; most of humanity's greatest achievements have been collective rather than the work of disconnected individuals

    Ironic that anyone preventing you from pursuing your own rampant self interest is in favour of tyranny, yet Hitler, Stalin, Mao, not to mention Napoleon, all the Caesars and Alexandra The Great, were all perfect examples of self will run riot..

    Chick peas (never used tinned), soaked overnight then boiled for 45 minutes. Then mash by hand in a bowl with extra virgin olive oil, crushed garlic, lemon juice and a tiny bit of sesame paste. Leave in the fridge overnight.
