"no one has authority over you"

You have had people with authority over you since birth. You even believe that mothers have authority to kill their children before birth. At some point your submission to their authority gradually became more and more a voluntary submission to their authority, of course, but you still recognized their authority over you.

You also submitted to the authority of teachers and librarians and policemen and traffic guards and so on as well.
Are you employed? self-employed? If employed but not self-employed you submit to the authority of your boss(es). If self-employed you more than likely voluntarily submit to the authority of the state... by submitting the necessary documents to run a business and paying the various license fees & taxes... unless you are a pimp, drug dealer, thief or some other totally illegal, off the books self-employed individual.

You also said that you have paid taxes, have a drivers license and submitted to the experimental covid-jab.

"you are bound by no law"

Like you, the vast, vast majority of people voluntarily submit to government authorities and the laws that they promulgate. The reason that virtually every human society has formed a government or submitted to an existing one is self-interest. Most people prefer to have a government rather than to live in anarchy. There are many advantages to living in a society that has a government.

There are a few small pockets of anarchy around the world, but obviously you do not choose to live there, but rather to grudgingly(?) submit to the governments that rule over you right now. You could, for instance, go to live among the Yanamamo Indians in the Brazilian jungles. I'm guessing that you prefer not to live in their every man for himself type of environment, however.

When anarchy comes about many of the people flee as the chaos can be very dangerous and unsettling. We don't see a lot of neighboring people emigrate to those anarchic places. The anarchy is usually relatively short-lived. Either the people eventually put together a government, or one gradually evolves naturally... or a neighboring government takes them over. Anarchic societies would tend to be militarily weaker than societies with a government, wouldn't you say?

The strategy of dropping out of participation in a democracy, such as not voting, is unlikely to bring about a peaceful transition to an anarchic society, and most people really don't want to live in one anyway. But even in the relatively unusual situations when governments fall apart and anarchy results, that state of affairs is unlikely to last long. In other words, longing for an anarchic society is a pipe-dream.
