On Freedom

Jul 11, 2024

The main reason why Society is able to punish the free so harshly is because too few people actually exercise their freedom or stick up for the free spirits around them.
Perhaps we can change that.

On Reddit I came across a hidden gaggle of college kids whispering, “I wish we were able to think our own thoughts and discuss them with people”.

They were specifically talking about some niche culture war subjects that have been forced out of sight of the Overton Window over the past few decades.

I responded:

You are able to.

Because humanity is herdish and cowardly there are consequences for speaking against the Orthodoxy

But trust me, they're worth it.

I have paid those consequences all my life because the alternative is far far worse.

Freedom is rarely rewarded by society, but your own self sure as hell rewards you.

P.S. I see that this is a subreddit for a podcast. I’ve never listened to any podcasts but if you know how, please share my youtube or substack with the host. If they're interested I'd be happy to drop in for a visit.
