Everyone speaking on freedom but nobody's asking what it means. "Freedom-from interference" is a 400-year-old definition that covers a few bases but not much beyond that. We looked to Maurice Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology in this book (https://amzn.to/3OdpzwL) to give us something a little better.

Pill Pods #59, #60, #61, #62 are all about Merleau-Ponty in more detail.

There's something death-drive about pure freedom; zero structure, floating in void, complete unrestraint, no interaction. The opposite extreme, free power, ultimate tyranny, impenetrable structure, full exposure, internal void; seems equally lifeless. Life is liminal, maybe even to liminality itself

Great episode, explored a lot of interesting nooks and crannies. 🙏

Love M’sieur Merleau-Ponty - reading the Adventures of the Dialectic at the moment where he discusses objectivism/subjectivity and moving beyond ‘the end of history.’ He brings up the weight of the positive in this too.
