If you could reduce the sensation of freedom to a smell, what would it be? You need not pick only one: they can rotate. Hamburgers? Cold beer? A flower scented breeze? The smell of diaper powder?
What if you could physically create a substance that smelled different to different people, adapting itself to their happiest memories? That idea has potential for good and harm. No doubt someone has thought of it, so there should hopefully be no danger advancing it.
What I am getting at here is that freedom means different things for different people: they USE it in different ways. For some, it means being able to pick up and move whenever they want. For others, the ability to stand up in town halls. For some, being left alone.
How much would you pay to increase your freedom? How much would you pay to opt out of the “Social security” system? You know, lump sum now for not making payments down the road. How much would you pay to consume drugs legally that are now illegal? If your town decided to legalize prostitution, but the price was an added tax for some socially noble goal someone had, would you do it?
How much would you pay to be able to drive any speed you like, a sort of premium drivers club? How much would you pay to skirt zoning laws?
In many parts of the world, this is more or less how things work. The system is called official corruption, and the method is bribes.
Just throwing some ideas out. Need to do some cleaning.
