  • What is freedom?

    • Agency – being able to make a ‘me-shaped’ dent in the universe.
    • Mastery – having the chance and the means to learn new skills.
    • Autonomy – being free to choose how we make our dent.

    That isn't all we want as humans though.   We also crave Purpose - to be doing this for something bigger than ourselves; and Community - to be doing it with like-minded people.  And within that community, we also seek Status - to find our place and have others know it.

    Gangs, drug rings and terrorist organisations provide these things in spades.

    So could work, if we designed it to.
