Three Freedoms

  • What is freedom, really?

    Here's a possible definition, not mine*.  Three freedoms, each building on the one before.

    1. The freedom to walk away, knowing that you will be taken in elsewhere by other people who see you as one of them.
    2. The freedom to disobey, knowing that you can 'vote with your feet'.
    3. The freedom to create new and different forms of social reality.

    The third can't happen without the first two.  Not without becoming tyranny, anyway.

    These are big ideas, but since our businesses can be anything we want, we can practise them small.

     

     

    *In the sense that I didn't think of them.  They come from "The Dawn of Everything" by David Wengrow and David Graeber.
