Some things about me:

I love redefining things. I hate force.

You will not force me to redefine and reconfigure my language. But I would love to check out your alternative way of conceptualizing things; I might even give it a try!

You can't force moral betterment, and you can't steal and expect it to be a sustainable means of sustenance. Instead, believe it or not, you can let go and gently encourage morality, and you can take what you want and have that help other people in voluntary interaction.

Morals change.

Morality is relative to the time period you had no choice being born into.

Tradition is peer pressure from dead people.

Most people are just half awake, I think. They don't see any other way but force, or have a lot of fallacious thoughts they go by, unaware of their own folly. I don't think I'm a slave to the opinions of others, but I am limited by them in much the way I am limited from getting a job because an employer says no, doesn't see the value in working with me or letting me accomplish something with 'im.

Yet I can create opportunities. It helps to have some people to build with, who do see value in the perspective I bring. But even if it's just me, I am still free when I know that I'm right, and know that authority, like many ideas, is just a flawed model of how the world works. There is so much opportunity within the bounds of my situation.
