“Freedom” is such an important and difficult word. It is ever only relative, contextual. So we - individual, community, state, nation - have ‘freedom’ within what ‘freedom’ we appreciate, which is different from another’s appreciated ‘freedom’.

So obv it’s easy to slowly ‘corral’ freedom, as we do with actual animal corrals, and the ‘breaking’ of animals, et al. Which is a ‘pendulum of history’ that swings ever again.

But I guess my point is: we all want Freedom to be as fully expressed as “we” are (again, scale). But sometimes that freedom is small for us, but perceived invasive for others. (i.e. the freedom to out-source cheap labor to make pink flamingos, the freedom to not expose the kids at my school to drag queens who want to explain themselves, the freedom to demand a closer parking space that’s paid for by my work, etc)

So negotiation is always needed. And must needfully be enforced. Which sets the whole hamster-wheel of State going again.

I KNOW Bitcoin can separate Money from State, and rejuvenate real Human Enterprise across the globe again.

I DON’T BELIEVE it will stop or prevent the cycle of mixed incentives that essentially boil-down to Class Antagonism.
