If Norwegians
- have the highest household debt to income ratio in the world (as OECD says)
- pay the highest total taxes in the world (as the newspaper Dagbladet says), and
- believe they are some of the freest people in the world (which is my firm impression),
aren't my people then really slaves to three masters, the state, the bank, and to their own brainwashed ego?

I know of 2 factors that cause what you have described:
Norwegians were genetically selected for centuries to think like everybody else in the group. The innovators died in the winter.
And then in the 1940s Norwegian were genetically and culturally selected to obey authority. The rebels were killed by the national socialists.
I'm not sure that is the explanation
