Aren’t we all just walking carbon wrappers?

Humanity’s moat is free will, yet people throw it away for a perceived feeling of safety. 

If your value can be reduced to inputs to a system designed to keep you ingratiated to it - you are a slave.

A slave in mind is as good as a slave in body in a knowledge economy.

50 million people globally are living their lives slavery. Also, the notion of free will is being upended by recent brain science discoveries. People are just trying to survive, let alone thrive. We are lucky to be here.

100% agree a part of success is luck of the draw - looks, race, background, pre-existing condition, health, family upbringing, where you are born. 

That being said, to be free of mind slavery is a mission worth pursuing even when it appears futile.

I treat this the warp as a bit of a private journal for friends to peer review and comment on. 

It helps me not go insane when people like you express that you see what I see, feel what I feel.

I love what drove you to post this.  And yes, it is.
