Freedom is freedom given to others. Freedom is often misunderstood as personal/egoistical freedom, but that is not how it works if you want everyone to be as free as possible. For years I include that this means occupying the least amount of time of others with your own agenda, which clearly includes the usual paid work relationship, but also all sorts of other dependencies, most often artificially created ones to actually limit the freedom, like debt for good education etc. These self-proclaimed "free societies" we live in are a lot, but free? There is tons of spare room to the top, while the bottom is much closer than many think.
