there aren't any objective metrics to define freedom with.
purchasing power is obviously not it.
ask a rich and famous person to walk down the street in New York and see how "free" they feel to do what they like.

Maybe not but purchasing power very clearly gives people more freedom. You may not be able to quantitatively measure freedom but you can tell someone who chooses to work for fun, rather than to make ends meet, is more free.
I didn’t say famous. But even famous people can afford to change their appearance and become a nobody again. And rich people can more easily become famous than poor people. If you believe Epstein is still alive like I do, then he may have changed the way he looks through surgery.
Literally the whole point of money is purchasing power. It gives you options to get the things that you want. More purchasing power is always better than less.
i dunno man
this seems like an argument poor people make.
i agree more purchasing power tends to better than less.
but my experience with managing assets doesn't suggest that "more is always better."
theres probably a sweet spot,
but even people in that zone can be pretty un-free.

does getting lots of pussy make you more satisfied?
I would say so yes. When you don’t have any, it’s all you want. When you get it, you tend to feel more satisfied.
It’s like how rich people say money won’t make you happy but poor people don’t believe it until they get rich. You need to have it first. I believe it’s the same with pussy.
