It takes "a seven-way pincer maneuver" of US national power to overthrow your government. 2/3

So glad Julian has been released… “free” was perhaps too big an ask. Let’s just say the walls of his prison have expanded and he’s been released to the general population section…

Noam Chomsky on Why Our Limits Are the Foundation of Our Freedom Noam Chomsky flips a common intuition on its head: In a 1977 interview with Bryan Magee for the BBC series Men of Ideas, Chomsky is confronted with what his interviewer calls an "alarming" consequence of his theories. The idea that humans are, as Magee puts it, "very very rigidly pre-programmed." There are certain things we can understand, certain things we can communicate, "and anything that falls outside that we simply can't." Chomsky agrees with the premise. But not the alarm. "That's certainly correct," he says of the rigid pre-programming. What he pushes back on is the reaction to it: "While it's true that our genetic program rigidly constrains us, I think the more important point is that the existence of that rigid constraint is what provides the basis for our freedom and creativity." The interviewer, caught off guard, asks him to clarify. Does he really mean it's only because we're pre-programmed that we can do all the things we can do? "Exactly," Chomsky replies. Then he delivers the core of the argument: "If we really were plastic organisms without an extensive pre-programming, then the state that our mind achieves would in fact be a reflection of the environment." In other words: a mind without built-in structure wouldn't be a free mind but a mirror. It would simply take the shape of whatever surrounded it. Freedom and creativity require something internal doing the shaping, pushing back, generating. The constraints aren't the opposite of freedom. They're the precondition for it.
