Freedom in today's society is pretty laughable. You don't have time to know, learn or experience a lot; how can you choose ?

How does that make freedom laughable?

You can't do everything (you never could), but you can choose what to do.

[agumonkey]

Because it's a very narrow vision of freedom fed to you from an biased third party.

[leereeves]

Who's this third party feeding you your definition of freedom?

You could stop listening to them and choose to do what you want.

That society telling you that staying in your couch watching TV is is good. Proof: it feels good, and everybody does it so it must be. And I spend much hours at a job, so I better use these dollars.

[leereeves]

I guess we're listening to different people, because society seems to be telling me that watching TV all the time is bad.

People do it because it feels good, not because they're told it's good.

Most scientist agree that smoking is dangerous, yet they are still sold everywhere and lots of people smoke.
