Freedom

How much you can do, how much agency you can have to make decisions without fear of punishment or coercion.

Full freedom is impossible. Otherwise paradoxically shooting would occur and since dead bodies would have no freedom, total freedom would actually be less!

But I think that kids have even less freedom: because of school!!

One of my nihilistic poems I wrote quite a while ago:

I was born into an unfair world that requires an education system.
I did not consent to being born.
Humans are said to have freedom as a birthright.
Yet, the education system is mandated by law.
The education system restricts freedom.
Thus, law forces a reduction of freedom even for immature people.
There is no way to fulfill my desire of freedom:
Either I get arrested for violating the law of education mandate
Or I go to school
There’s no solution, as I was born to a system against humanity.

However, an ethical dilema

To what extent is it okay to impact others' freedoms? One answer could be only if they consent or desire, otherwise socializing would restrict freedom (as it takes up time, which thus is an opportunity cost) This is the opposite of the irrational school system.
