Freedom is NOT the same as opportunity. You have all the freedom possible alone on a desert island but no liberty.DBTrek wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 6:40 pmMartin Hash wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 6:26 pmWhat kind of opportunity is driving without a license affording you.

What kind of opportunity is doing 'X' without bureaucratic permission affording you?
Like - all of it.
It's affording you all of the opportunity.
Having to ask permission to do 'X', that's where opportunity is getting restricted, and becoming incumbent upon pleasing others.

Re: Does Anyone Really Believe in Liberty?
I realize the words have separate definitions. But if you must petition the government to "advance or progress" (aka utilize opportunity) then you don't have liberty. The government has liberty, and doles it out to whomever they arbitrarily choose.Martin Hash wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 6:43 pmFreedom is NOT the same as opportunity.

So if you want personal liberty, you need personal freedom to exercise and pursue the opportunities that arise.
On a deserted Island you have plenty of liberty. You're FREE to utilize everything on or around the island to improve your circumstances however you wish.

If the government isn't the sole supplier of Freedom or Opportunity - then it would seem your own equation renders them unnecessary for liberty.

I’m done discussing this topic. Nobody’s going to agree with me and it doesn’t make any difference now anyway. Define liberty however you want: ignore me.

I’ve never convinced anyone of anything anyway. It’s one of things that makes me unique.

Re: Does Anyone Really Believe in Liberty?
I don't think anyone is really disagreeing with your freedom x opportunity = liberty definition.
I think DB is arguing against freedom x opportunity + government= liberty, and I am arguing with freedom x opportunity + guaranteed success = liberty
Personally, I think the original definition is awesome. I just think it still exists. *shrug*

Re: Does Anyone Really Believe in Liberty?
That's where I'm at. I see the purpose of government. I see the value of government, insofar as it meets its purpose without over reaching (which seldom happens). But I don't see how the government acting as opportunity gatekeepers translates into more liberty.Hanarchy Montanarchy wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 7:13 pmI don't think anyone is really disagreeing with your freedom x opportunity = liberty definition.

But, I'm also good with dropping it if folks are tired of the subject. It's just one of the few conversations where the forum isn't on the same page, so it seemed worthy of discussing for awhile.
