Think about that. Paraphrased, your point is that man can only govern himself if ruled by another. This is a contradiction. More than that, it fails to take into account the nature God gave us. We are free to obey or disobey. Obviously, this is how it was intended. Otherwise, we would be automatons or mere instinctive animals.
What man needs is not to be ruled, but to act productively in service of his own life. From an objectivist perspective, that is confined to objective reality. For those of us who acknowledge reality beyond the objective, we take action to serve our eternal life. In either case, in this world, we are responsible only for ourselves and restricted only by the rights of others.
