People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.
- Kierkegaard

  • Pjotr van Krimpen

    I don’t know if I can agree with him. There are two definitions of freedom.
    1. Free from others like us. Freedom from manipulation, indoctrination and slavory.
    2. Used in phillophy and religion. Under the name of free will. This means freedom to truely make our own choices, without outside interference.

    If he uses definition 1. then I could agree with him, if he has 2. in mind absoluty not.
