Liberty

 Here is the opening of a new post on liberty. The remainder of the post is on the LibertyZ.substack.com site. The next post will be on equality.

In the purest sense liberty is the capacity to behave as one would wish in the complete absence of interactions with other people. This idea of liberty is not particularly useful however, lacking a real-world relevance to those situations in which liberty is a practical concern. As with other concepts, such as privacy and empathy, liberty has no practical meaning outside the context of interactions with others.
