You Are Not Free

The primary fantasy in this country today is that America is so magical that reality doesn't exist here, and therefore we can deprive people of the resources necessary to meet their needs and they can still be successful. What qualities does that environment select for?

Reality exists; therefore, actions have consequences; therefore, the truth matters. You are not free to lie.

Reality exists; therefore, everything that everyone on the entire planet does affects everyone else on the entire planet in some way to some degree. You are not free to do whatever you want.

You have a group of inherited preferences, as well as other inherited qualities like height, skin color, gender, and intelligence. You are not free to be whoever you want.

You are not free to drive at whatever speed you want, regardless of weather or traffic conditions. (e.g., passing in the far right lane at 80 mph, something I witness frequently.)

You are not free to drive in bright sunlight with your headlights on ( and especially not your high beams) - it does not increase safety, it does increase glare; you are not free to drive in light rain or overcast conditions without your 4 orange corner lights on.

You are not free to believe proven lies.

You are not free to obey liars.

You are not free to harm yourself.

You are not free to poison my fellow humans (pollution, pharmaceutical drugs, Genetically Modified food, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, etc.).

You are not free to cheat.

You are not free to steal.

You are not free to hunt or eat our fellow predator animals ( dog, cat, shark, swordfish, etc. ).
