Freedom is being able to go where you want and do whatever you want whenever you want.
The only way to be able to do this is if you have money and the time to enjoy this money. If you are busy making money you cant possibly be free as all your time is tied up in this. If all your time is tied up in this, you may be able to do whatever you want because you have money, but you wont be able to do it whenever you want as you are busy all the time. This is where you use other people to work in your place and you pay them a set amount and live off the surplus fruits of their labor. The freedom to come and go as one pleases is the real currency here, because without that, winning the lottery would be meaningless. What do you think of when you imagine winning the lottery? Having a lot of money isnt the exciting part, no, we imagine all the free time we will have. We imagine being able to go where we want, whenever we want, and be able to do what we want.All this being said, flexibility in scheduling of when we will work and the conditions of our work and having some control over these things should figure in to how much money we are making. If you are making very little money but have flexibility and control over when and how much you are going to work, therefore doing everything completely voluntarily,you are still making more freedom than the guy who makes more money with less freedom. Remember money is freedom. Forget about all the working to survive crap. Survival is what you get when you are working with money as your primary goal. Survival is what animals strive for. A man is not an animal and should be striving for more than just mere sustenance. Man requires free time and this is what we should be working towards. Free time is the true currency. I guess this is what they mean when they say that time is money.
The only sustainable way to keep your freedom is to use other peoples time, and trade them money for their time, since most people are living on an animalistic survival level.Even if one is not making much money, if he has all his needs met while maintaining his freedom, let all the employees make all the money, give me the freedom. Using people is ok as long as you pay them for it. I've seen it all over the place. The place I work now, at an a/c company, where the workers are putting in 80 hours a week in 107 degree plus environments and are happy to do it because they feel the money they are making is just compensation for the chunks of their lives they are missing out on. They dont mind being used. Meanwhile, the ones at the top can take off when they want because as long as they have drones who live for money doing all his work for him, his presence isnt required. If there ever was a secret conspiracy, this would be it; that money is not the true currency for evolved man. The true currency is the freedom to make headway in the enjoyment of his lifetime. But, just as you cant pay a dog for a trick with a dollar, (he just doesnt understand the value of it) you cant pay some men in freedom, because they are conditioned to think that money is the only form of valuable currency.All money gets you (if not used to buy you time), is the ability to consume, and the adoration of like minded people who worship this consumption. At what point did we trade our freedom in for this thing that has value because everyone believes it does. This is the real "illuminati conspiracy".
