IT MUST BE TESTED
January 30th, 2024 | San Francisco, CA
I’ve been pondering, maybe too often, the dilemma that is free-will. And humanity’s relationship with it.
Free will.
I think my inquiry begins here. In the wording. Free. Will.
What does it mean to be “free”?
What is freedom? It’s defined as the power or the right to speak, think, and act as one wishes. Without hindrance or restraint.
Boy… so much to unpack in the definition alone.
Freedom, it seems to me, is not defined as something innate, or even natural. It’s described as something that has pre-requisites. Power. Rights. And as something that is possibly behind some obstacles. Hindrances. Restraints. Seems it is hard-won.
Seems it must be tested, to see if your perceived brand of it falls prey to hindrances. Restraints.
So what does it really mean- to be free?
