Just bumped into http://freedomdefined.org/Definition – am struck by how restrictive it feels while clearly intent on being serious for pushing for freedom.
Am curious about the sequence.. The restrictive sense (object, define), the cross with intent (we really want all to be free), and the interval – perhaps disconnected interval – via that crossing.
The other element that came to mind is of retribution – isn’t freedom = being fearless about retributional exchange operations?
eg –
if you take this idea and make ot into stuff i disagree – i might engage in exchange, but will Not attempt to harm you!
However, the question might also go the other way around:
if you use this element that is linked to me, will you do it in a way that might feel – or be – harmful to me?
Will you help me remain fearless of you?
