Why Do Humans Value Freedom So Much?

About this episode

What does freedom mean to you? In Episode #197 on 'Freedom' Juan and I discuss: why Juan thinks it is a difficult topic to talk about, what we would do if put in charge of Australia, the difference between freedom of an individual vs having a free society, why I personally didn't like Sebastian much and how this conversation has saved me a lot of time. Just FYI. Our discussion was based on the conversation between Tim Ferriss & Sebastian Junger in Episode #513 of The Tim Ferriss Show.


As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
