In this episode of the Common Sense podcast, Harold questions the true essence of freedom as understood by Americans. He discusses how the American Constitution guarantees certain inalienable rights, yet these can often be perceived as an illusion rather than actual freedom. He navigates the idea that societal pressures, digital community guidelines, and the legal system impose restrictions on our behaviors and actions, thereby curbing our freedoms within an invisible, system-imposed framework. Drawing attention to incidents where trespassing these invisible boundaries may lead to severe consequences, Harold invites listeners to reassess the concept of unmitigated freedom, and explore the notion that this so-called 'freedom' might actually be a form of restrained liberty.
