| Hey John,
Here’s the last printout I'm sending for now (and all the pages combined in case you missed them). Go on and unleash your creative freedom, and see more of mine here.
And now it’s time to get a bit philosophical (keep reading if you’re interested in the concept of freedom).
The philosopher Slavoj Žižek claims that there is a difference between ”formal freedom” and “actual freedom.”Formal freedom is when we are permitted to make choices within a given system or ideology. Actual freedom is when we question the very structure that grants us formal freedom to the point of undermining its power over us altogether.
The short leash lets us live with permission to make choices within the system without upsetting it. We think that a longer leash gives us more freedom, but it doesn’t. It still keeps us operating under the tolerance of the system and those with power within it.
Open-ended thought for the day...freedom isn’t a longer leash.
Even my dog knows that.
Here’s to the art of free thinking! |
