People think freedom is the power to change what you dislike about the world around you.
You can quit a job you hate. Leave a person who hurts you. Switch cities for a change of scenery. Chop your hair for a new look.
What freedom actually is: the power to change what you dislike about yourself.
Tech optimists keep promising us we’re just one innovation away from magically enhancing our capacity for connection and meaning.
