Explaining Freedom (2022) 图画 由 Edwin Loftus

The Sage tries to explain Freedom to students that have only been taught their place in the great machine.
They have been taught that freedom is when the government chooses not to impose excessive rules on them. They have never been told that the authority of government comes from them and there is no authority of government to interfere in their lives any more than the people have given them permission.
They have been taught that their dreams, their needs, their beliefs are not as important as those of the leaders that rule over them.
They have been promised that if they obey the laws and work hard all of their active lives that they will not be punished and in their old age may be allowed to live in some semblance of dignity and comfort.
If they follow these rules, they may even become one of the relatively few that gets to tell other people what they must do and if they do this as their superiors wish, they may be rewarded.
They have been taught that the world is corrupt, and the game of life is rigged. That they can only chose between being predators or prey and the smart people choose to be predators. They will always be ruled over by others, the only question is whether their rulers will be more inclined to reward those that serve them, or less so. They believe they have no choice whether others will rule over them. They only have some small say in which masters they will serve.
The Sage has a difficult task before him.
