IPFS News Link • Philosophy: Libertarianism
"By following unrealistic premises we give up a tremendous amount of freedom."
• Daily PaulHarry Browne on anti-freedom traps.
"On our own without any nudge from the government whatsoever, we manage to give away a great deal of the freedom that we could have."
From his classic: How I Found Freedom in and Unfree World
Here is a brief summary I typed while listening to this short video:
An anti-freedom trap has 3 elements.
1. An assumption that is widely held by people
2. It is not true
3. It inhibits your freedom. By accepting this premise, this trap, you are giving up a great deal of your freedom.
