is that what freedom means? I'm halfway through Harry Browne's "How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World" (recommended by someone on HN) and he has an interesting definition of freedom. Freedom is spending more time seeking pleasure than avoiding pain. I'm paraphrasing, but I think that's the gist of his definition. Good book. |

Very interesting definition. Thanks for sharing that.
It vaguely reminds me of Amartya Sen's Development as Freedom, in which he explores how the right to certain opportunities may be as essential to freedom as the right to property.
The connection may only be superficial, but that was a good book too. (Sen was a Nobel Prize winner.)
