What is freedom?

According to the dictionary definitions of freedom include:
a : the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action
b : liberation from slavery or restraint or from the power of another : independence

I been thinking a lot about these two definitions. Take definition A For example – when people denies your right to choose or passes legislation to prevent choice (especially in terms of right to die), isn’t that coercion? Isn’t that constraint in choice or action? Look at example B – isnt the human condition in of itself a form of slavery? We are restrained by the laws of nature, and have to answer to the majority.

To me, freedom is much more than just a democratic society, it’s a state of being that is impossible to achieve. We are enslaved by weather, mortality, diseases, accidents, our neurochemistry, and suffering. We must work for someone to keep the world running.

That is not freedom. I’m not advocating anti work or anti responsible authority, my point is freedom is impossible. To me, freedom would be a transhumanistic utopia where the main goal is to play and create. A far future society were suffering and death is the thing of the past and post scarcity becomes a reality. Basically we would become gods from a technological standpoint, able to do what we wish without the ability to harm anyone. A world were everyone has equal abilities and complete control over mind and body.  Since that can’t happen anytime soon, what other choices do we have? I for one, would like to have the choice to have a bottle of N setting next to me. I may never use it but it would give me a sense of comfort, lesson my fears, and give me some peace knowing it’s there if I ever need it.

I would also like to have the option of neuropreservation so that I can be revived in the far future when a techno-utopia can become a reality – a company called Alcor is already doing this. But it costs 80000 dollars. The government could subsidize that organization to make that price drop for the population.

because of the coercive laws that puts a constraint in my choice or action, that option would never be given to me.

freedom means different things to different people. And all should be validated as long as they are not harming anyone.

what is freedom to you?
