liberty

Is not the universally admitted drive for political freedom a pale shade of the brain's cry for freedom from the body?   The american insurgents believed freedom was so important to the society of humans that it was included in their Declaration.
                                    They confused their interior cerebral clawing for liberation from the skull  for a much less important freedom to politic.


History has  not been  an all night cinema of men needing or even wanting real neural freedom.
The recent french, british and american social experiments in individual privileges are rare even now amongst groups and already wheeze with fatigue. Global citizens are not so interested in political freedom as they are in independence of each brain from labor and service for the body.  Slavery.  More effort and progress has been expended by the species to escape from the body than toward political liberty.   The highest jump has been the video screens which surround us and like halls of  mirrors long ago, represent a great leap in our evolving flight away from the body through manipulation of  our world as only an image.   It is to be expected that the observing and reacting to visual screens is prized by the common man as the best window for mental liberty over almost all other activity save for sex or sport
It recreates a puppet show for us to play.
