@ScholarOfBabylon Simply that if you have to invent the notion that your freedom has been removed (which is not true, btw; we have had only a temporary suspension of certain freedoms) which has lead to you having less as things have become more diverse (whatever that means), it implies via my interpretation that you have allowed yourself to think THAT way because you are or think you are powerless to do anything about it. Someone who does not think his freedom has been lost or removed, would obviously not suffer under THAT same notion. So my conclusion was that because you sensed a loss as a result of these temporary restrictions, you were too powerless to mount a defense and/or attack by changing things (which is what strong people actually do), instead of inventing THAT notion.

You are too weak to impose your own will to power on the world.

@ScholarOfBabylon I'm also too weak so don't worry about it. And we all impose our will onto the world. Those that do in the fullest are not privy to thinking that they cannot do or have less. To them it doesn't matter, they have all the power at their disposal and can overcome all obstacles.

@ScholarOfBabylon You are right this dialogue is moribund.
