Freedom is a continuous struggle
Discussion
Is this an unfortunate reality in general when it comes to freedom, or are there forces at play in the modern world suppressing it?
I think it's always a continuous struggle between power and freedom and the technology that changes consciousness keeps changing. This would be an interesting nostr nests topic!
So those that develop technology and acquire power in doing so are likely always going to be tempted to subjugate other less-powerful free people?
Yeah, that's my current theory that technology development is a power projection game, but I could be clouded because i'm currently reading Space Spook's thesis Softpower
Rather SoftWar, i use the term SoftPower in my mind
Space Spook 🤣
“Power projection game” makes me think of Peterson’s lobsters. Any living thing will naturally size itself up against any other living thing it comes across if there are any threats or opportunities involved.
But is the existence of a power hierarchy an impediment to freedom of those not at the top?
