Read this somewhere little while ago. Paraphrasing. Captures the essence, methinks.

Was it this one? “Our freedom can be measured by the number of things we can walk away from.” 🏝

LEANFIRE

If I can get about a million (fungible assets, I already own my land), I could live off of that forever, lean.

Never work again, live off investment income, never touch the principle.

Give up the consumer roller coaster.

Liberty is "being able to live freely, as long as it doesn't impose on others."

It's "freedom from undue prior restraint."

Freedom by itself, absolutely is "Doing whatever I want." and "Not having to do what others tell me."

Freedom is either having nothing left to lose, or not having a fuck to give.

"Freedom's just another word for... nothing left to lose."

This.

Freedom from a central authority including freedom to put others at risk. To ruin other people's lives

But it's OK because other people are free to react accordingly.

By surrendering responsibility to the state to police acts of danger and ruination we lost our freedom to deal to them ourselves.

Now when criminals enter our homes the first risk is from the criminal the second from the police. How dare you defend yourself.

A truly free society forms a reflection of themselves.

Ok, but describe how the things that limit your ability to do what you want are created by anything other than people telling you that you can’t

There's a subtle difference. Figure it out then get back to me.
