RE: The Opposite of Freedom Is Not Slavery But Security

in #freedom7 years ago

I'd like to make sure I'm understanding you with two examples:
1-when beavers build damns to give themselves security it is to your thinking an affront to freedom?
2-if the sun rises and sets at 6 AM and 6 PM so as to be able to have cycles of times and seasons it is to your thinking that that is an affront to freedom? That these predictable cycles that offer a chance at security are somehow an affront to freedom in your philosophy?
Now let's extend that thinking to everyday life: say one wants to take a train from Berlin to Paris. In your view, there should be no set schedule and the trains can come and go at any time and it's up to any individual to guess when a train will arrive and depart; and of course, we can't ever know​ when they will because the engineers don't have a set schedule and work whenever they please! But to have predictable societies in your philosophy​ is somehow an affront to freedom?
Of course, terse pithy replies​ are fine:)

Sort:  
  1. beavers do not have the concept of freedom in their language — or at least, we have no evidence that they do

  2. irrelevant.

as for the train

freedom =/= organisation
