Dan Held Interrogated: What will you choose: Safety or freedom?
Community Response: Pretty obvious that most people choose safety. This is why not everyone is an entrepreneur, this is why everyone obeys ridiculous covid related rules etc.
To be fair “Safety vs freedom” is not an easy question. The thing is that nobody can’t grant you true safety, but you can fight to preserve freedom. Once you realize that, the question becomes easier: The delusion of safety vs true freedom.
Not even a question for me. I will always choose freedom. Plus, you can still have safety with freedom by making choices to be healthy, protect & defend yourself/your family, but if you choose safety, you cannot add freedom later in this context.
You can’t be free without being safe, meanwhile you can’t be safe without being free…
2 sides of the same coin. The government only provides a perception of safety…
I choose: Safety + Freedom = Bitcoin.
Freedom is the only choice. Because choosing safety doesn’t make you safe.
I choose freedom through taking personal responsibility of my life and my actions.
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -Benjamin Franklin Freedom.
Safety is basic human’s need. You are working on your freedom only if you feel safe.
Some of the greatest musicians/artists and sport men sacrifice the bottom tiers for self-actualization. The pyramid is sometimes inverted.
Unfortunately, in my country is no safety and no freedom and no choose. Be happy.
This question is really naive. Is the world vulgar enough to accept such questions?
There is no safety when there’s no freedom. There is no freedom when there’s no safety.
But when given the question to choose only one or the other freedom must always come first. The good old days we had both somewhat. Now, we are being forced to choose one or the other.
You never experienced socialism and neither your text book, we missed freedom but always felt safe.
If you choose safety over freedom, you’ll end up with no freedom and no safety.
That’s just the thing though, isn’t it? It’s not really safety, it’s the illusion of safety over freedom most people choose. Trigger fear in people, and their basic survival instincts for “safety” hijack logic. Logic is what allows the illusions to be seen through.
Why does it have to be a binary choice?
I wouldn’t choose, because this is an entirely hypothetical question with no equivalent real-life situation. The countries with the best social safety nets are also the countries highest on the freedom ratings. And I live in one of them.
Black and white thinking much? Safety. Excess freedom is dangerous for human.
Safety is basic need. You need safety to chase freedom. There is no such thing as “safety” without freedom.
These two concepts are not mutually exclusive. As a social species we survived 195K years on this planet based on safety in numbers, kinship, consideration, community, and altruism which also provided the freedom to travel continents.
Yeah dude. Can’t see much without them both.
Safety VS less/no safety to which extend? Freedom VS less/no freedom to which extend? If the choice is obvious then it is a very privileged choice to be making – by all measures. Asking the question is too. To which I am happy for you. Just something to be aware of.
Maybe the question is what you have already chosen. The truth I see is that people have chosen safety over freedom. Those that are free won’t be reading this.
That pair of words are not mutually exclusive. It is a lie that people with power want people without power to believe. E.g. Bitcoin is safety and freedom giver.
Freedom all the way… what safety? We are on a rock floating in infinity.
Both. This is a false choice and partisan government makes so we believe is one or the other. The freedom to drink water anywhere and also not worry about it being poisoned.
Physical and psychological safety to do whatever you want, whenever you want and however you want equals freedom! Freedom to do whatever you want, whenever you want and however you want does not equal safety. So I choose safety.
I come from a country where I wasn’t free or safe, but when it was a life or death matter, I had the chance to choose safety and that made me free. I got out of there, and I was lucky.
