Power and Freedom are the only two Components that make up Choice.
Do you Want to do X? Are you Free to do X?
By making you THINK you have no Power, what they really have done (have you figured it out), is take your Freedom.
But… *laughing* I am writing this on INDEPENDENCE DAY, 4 July 2024.
We KIND of know what it looks like when someone takes… OUR FREEDOM. (I’m Scottish. You don’t TOUCH our Freedom).
You can’t TOUCH our Freedom. We will know (will we?) and we will FIGHT.
I am reminded of this line from Star Trek.
Aliens attacked with intent to enslave the crew and took over the Enterprise. It is the one episode Kirk was going to lose. At the very end, suddenly, the Conflict stopped.
The Aliens arrived. “We’ve been reviewing your history and, based on the information we saw, your race does not take kindly to being enslaved. We have decided you would not make good slaves so we are going to look for more suitable candidates elsewhere.”
We do NOT “do” slavery.
So Choice is composed of Power (Your Potential) and your Freedom.
So if you can’t take Power because Physics says so, what are they really taking from you?
