Banach post 2

It amazes me how we, ourselves, make our own freedom.

We make all these limitation, shortening our own freedom, when "nothing outside of us can determine what we are and what we are good for". We humans just appeared out of nowhere on this planet, and created our own existence, we created the rules we know, and the laws we have to follow.

We're all puppet, though we do have the freedom to think what we want, even though our body is being control the "mind's eye would still be free and untouched." we also other types of control, like what to watch on TV, or what to read. This is the freedom we created for ourselves, to give us more options to feel like we have some control over things.

Respond to David Banach's "the ethics of absolute freedom"

When David Banach said that " we are absolute individual" i think he meant that we are each our own person, there is only one of us. That there is no one absolutely like our, we are the only ones who understand ourselves completely. Other people can just see what we let them see; "Other people only see us from the outside", they can never know how we are inside and i agree with that.

I also find it interesting, because we're always saying we understand how you feel, or are always told that by other people, like a counselor when you're talking about your problem would try to reassure by saying i understand, but what people don't really focus on or know is that they don't actually know how someone feels, because they cant feel it, they just have a concept of it.

In the paper when he says absolute freedom, i don't think he actually means like 100% freedom, because thats not really possible in a society fill with rules and limits. I thought it meant more like the certain freedom a certain person has, like how absolute individual, it depends on the person how much freedom he has. Like nobody is the same person, nobody has the same amount of freedom.
