Well, there are different opinions on whether freedom is useless or useful. It sometimes depends on where you are currently living. Guantanamo or Moscow.
Freedom is never useless. It gives you the opportunity to make your own choices rather than just have someone else decide for you.
Ok, so can we say the freedom to change a truth to a lie is a freedom?
Yes ... "Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority." - Francis Bacon -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daughter_of_Time#cite_note-1 Most of the time the truth is relative according to your own perception of the facts.
Completely right, you made me reconsider my statement, actually invariant sections are indeed an ethical issue.
For some God is the only truth, for others Love is the real truth. Some says God is Love, others say Love is Kindness. And all of them are right but none of them have the Truth because it is an abstraction.
And what’s about Science which would say “only sensible experience” ;)
Because in that case you’re making choice for someone else, the fact changing truth.
People are responsible to make their own choices. It is like the relation between the teacher and the student. The teacher can explain something to you, but he cannot understand it for you.
Good analogy, I keep it for later, it is really good…
Sometimes I just want to participate in a good conversation.
