        This is why absolute freedom can never exist as long as there are at least 2 people in existence… Either they must both give up their freedom to harm the other, or soon there will only be 1 person left, maybe 0.

    Absolute freedom would be the ability to do whatever one wants to do whenever one wants to do it. However, the laws of physics and biology get in the way pretty quickly. So that leaves us with absolute freedom within the laws of the universe. However, it’s only possible to have this absolute freedom so long as there is only 1 person in existence. As soon as you add a second person, both must agree to forgo the freedom to harm the other, or soon enough there will only be 1 or 0 people left.

    In a society, the closest we can get to freedom is allowing people to do whatever they want as long as it doesn’t effect anyone else. Once it effects others, they should get a say in it, otherwise the person doing the stuff has more freedom than the people being effected by it. This is where we actually are.

    Taking a huge, absolutely gut-tension relieving dump, the kind that angels sing and your ears pop afterwards, in a handicap accesible toilet somewhere you either work, or go to classes, that was just recently cleaned and unused by anyone.

    Freedom is a state in which a person’s input into their life has significant effects on the outcomes. Freedom is a state in which taking responsibility is a possibility.

      Thats not freedom? That concept in practice would be. I can work, if I do then I’ll have money. However, if I dont work, I die from lack of money. The way I’d see freedom is, u can work or not and eitherway u dont die. Yk your free to choose what you want or in this case free to make the inputs desire
