Money buys liberty. Choices buy happiness. If you have more money, you have more choices available to you.

If money bought happiness there would be no sad rich people, but there are plenty of them.

I don’t think anything can.

I think the only way to experience true freedom would be to live, alone, on an unrecognised island, or in a space capsule.

The moment you encountered another person, you’d need to establish rules so you could co-exist in peace. No theft, for example.

At which point you aren’t free.

By that logic:

  1. Isolation is not freedom
  2. Freedom (includes¹) the ability to mingle with other societies. But whilst you are in the company of other societies, you are bound by their social constructs (rules,laws). So you aren’t free, except of course you’re free to leave. In which case, see (1).

¹ The use of the word “includes” implies other examples exist. What are they?

Fair enough, I take your points too. Take it easy, enjoy the GOT, I enjoyed the philosophical wrangling
