Just was thinking about what actually is “freedom”. In one way, you could be enslaved and still have free mind and feel free. On the other hand, you could have everything and no obligations, but enslaved within your own mind and “chained” to a certain way of thinking (stuck in your ways). If that’s the case, then freedom is just being able to open your mind and explore within and without. 🐶🐾🤔🤯

🤔 Interesting. Freedom, at it's core, is a form of anarchy, imo. Or, at least, very similar. It's the ability to choose whether you want to adhere to societal norms and standards, create your own, or have none at all.

I would consider it to be a subset of the overall “umbrella” of freedom. You can be free in your mind, but not necessarily in your actions 🐶🐾🤔

I could partially agree with that. I could think whatever I want, but society's current status heavily dictates what decisions I make to ensure my happiness. For instance, we live in a capitalist society and I know that Bitcoin is a better monetary option than fiat.

Social pressure is definitely something hard to be free of. Can’t disagree with that 🐶🐾🫂
