I recommend getting out of the Apple ecosystem as well. Apple strictly censors what's allowed on their phones and extracts a heavy tax on developers. Most of their hardware (laptops / phones) are also very user hostile (difficult to repair or upgrade). GrapheneOS and Motorola are collaborating on a phone designed for GrapheneOS. I recommend switching to that when it comes out in the next year or so.

The Problem Of Political Authority by Michael Huemer. Huemer argues that political authority is an illusion. Starting from common moral intutions (don't steal, don't hurt people), he demonstrates that no one has the right to rule and no one is obliged to obey a government merely because it issues commands. The state possesses no special moral status that justifies coercion or obedience, and that common moral intuitions against private coercion (like theft or kidnapping) should apply equally to the state. He dismantles major theories of political authority, such as social contract theory, hypothetical consent, democratic majoritarianism, and consequentialist argument. Instead, he proposes that society can function effectively without a central monopoly on force through competitive private agencies for security and dispute resolution, aligning with an anarcho-capitalist framework.
