Isaiah Berlin's "Two Concepts of Liberty"
he distinguishes negative liberty, freedom from, vs positive liberty, freedom to, and discusses their domains.
examples:
negative liberty: right to be free from interference when associating voluntarily with others
positive liberty: right to affordable housing
a very useful framing for many common disputes

nostr is hardened by this heat. I love that "bitcoin twitter" sounds weird to my ears now. sovereign information distribution will turn out to be crucial.
"The West is preparing to add its fables to those of the East. The valleys of the Ganges, the Nile, and the Rhine having yielded their crop, it remains to be seen what the valleys of the Amazon, the Plate, the Orinoco, the St. Lawrence, and the Mississippi will produce. Perchance, when, in the course of ages, American liberty has become a fiction of the past, — as it is to some extent a fiction of the present, — the poets of the world will be inspired by American mythology."
from "Walking" by Henry David Thoreau

"We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies—all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes."
Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception
