The document discusses the long-standing battle between individualism and collectivism in human civilization. It describes how those who value independence and self-reliance have historically fled societies dominated by collectivism by moving to new places where they could live freely. However, it notes that now there is nowhere left to flee as individualist ideals are again being threatened. It concludes that without an "exit option," proponents of individualism must now stand and fight to prevent society from being overwhelmed by collectivism once more.
