Freedom is such a generic thing to say though.
We are all slaves to the laws of nature.
We all want to be gods and have more power.
I can't make gains until I become a god?
Or wait I have to make gains to become a god.
It's a paradox.
Becoming more free is a gain in itself.
There are also plenty of gains to be made within a system of borders.
It all exists on an impossibly complex spectrum.
Good point though.
