The essay argues that agorophobia, redefined as a fear of free markets and accountability, is a widespread, undiagnosed spiritual disease manifesting as evil, characterized by dependency on state intervention and moral immaturity. It posits that this illness is prevalent among both the dependent poor and the excessively wealthy, who rely on the state to sustain their lifestyles, and is exacerbated by migration from undeveloped nations, leading to social decay. The state, depicted as inherently flawed and parasitic, perpetuates this disease by fostering dependency and enabling wealth expropriation from self-sufficient "agorocrats"—those who value free markets and personal responsibility—while aligning with freeloaders to maintain its existence, thus creating societal problems like poverty, crime, and war.
Two groups are contrasted: the spiritually immature, who fear market accountability and cling to state-supported parasitism, and the spiritually mature agorocrats, who thrive in a free market without needing state regulation. All social issues stem from this parasitic dynamic between state and its allies. The solution lies in separating from those exhibiting agorophobia, aligning with biblical principles of self-reliance and moral accountability, to create a flawless system where individuals pay their own way, free from state interference and exploitation.
