Can youconceive of an absolute authority which nevertheless doesn't
act in a dictatorial manner? Or is the concept of proper autonomy that
unfamiliar to you?
Secondly, can you possibly conceive the co-existence of absolute
and sovereign authorities simultaneously, highly individual in
themselves, yet valid?
Or does it all resolve to you or me is the dictator, baby?

No, you can't. As I wrote to askrom:
what you want is unconditional acceptance and coddling
of stupidity, ego, false pretenses, etc.
You also are obsessed with self-reflection and how you look
(vanity) and that has never been a source of courtesy,
but the source of effacing hypocrisy.
Courtesy requires behaving as is appropriate,
without causing undesirable damage, creative
when appropriate, destructive in a proper way when necessary.
The flat mannerisms that you attempt to pass
on as courtesy are merely petty bourgeois posing
and mannerisms. Spare us. And your 'condesension'
too. Before you get to courtesy, break that
ego self-image obsession.
