It only happens in the individual - and is celebrated by the group. It is always the "I" within the "we" - just that governments or civilizations or societies cannot be free together without some adjustments and shared concepts.
But since our civilizations have all failed and apparently for the same reasons - perhaps that is proof - that the group concept is a loser.
Guess it is back to the New World Stone Age - but with AI and totalitarianism.
If you read the essay it goes way way beyond that. We have arrive here at having to consider such a question through very ignorant means. We are condemned to permanent war for permanent peace - by cretins.
Like Officer Scot Peterson, found not guilty in a Court of Law.
He is a 'cretin' by the courts own discussion.
How can we be free, when the police won't even let us defend our own children.
I have gone way past that, to what is the most important issue, still uncorrected, for most. Do we need a quick response team, that may have to take out the police en route to attempt to save our children, it appears we do.
We cannot be free when we depend on tyranny to hand it to us. The system has failed. We are in muliti-civilizational collapse. Tyrants cannot be petitioned or inspired or coerced to supply freedom - or to defend our children or our values
The dream of freedom - free and by a government - is over.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vtnGgCmU7IQ. One view of human freedom is that this is always evolving from the present moment to the new moment in the world present
Great song thanks. I don't think freedom morphs - I think the attachment to ideas that either sustain it or kill it - are what change.
So consider the “I” in freedom and not the “We.” The newness of this in the world.

I winging this thought but I believe in my reading over time this lodged in my head. I think I will check at home after work to see.
Look forward to it.
Perhaps the solitary confinement of the Royal I is the issue. The “I “ I think emerged within the technological framework

imagine actually talking about freedom. It is critical issue for our time that everyone ignores
Great comment. Imagining is exactly what we must do. Otherwise - nothing left to lose. Can't beg for liberty from tyrants.
Case in point. Do you want the 'freedom' to protect yourself and any children you are responsible for, or will you wait on Officer Scot Peterson.

KW, sorry, I don't mean to be combative, but after that State of the Union address, the hell with everything, freedom, we've long lost it.
I understand the anger - I have plenty of it as well - but even expecting common sense or any agency from a tyrant is foolish on my part.
A few will survive this multi-civilizational collapse - it is for those few where my hope lies.
I may be an avowed apocaloptimist - but I am also a realist.
On 'our' part. The Officer 'Scot Petersons' are not going to save us, they won't even try.
NO - they will not - neither will many of our neighbors and friends - until the system comes for them as well.

100% agree!
Now, to take it back! Is it even possible, we won't get it by voting, they have seen to that.
We must take it back. Ceasing to pay taxes to such cretins in the first step - that and ceasing to support their corporations.
No more business as usual and no more showing up for their war games - including voting - which is just another scam.
If it is not the creator which is showing us we must change - then it must be the universe.
We cannot go on as before.
