Furthering<p>I have finished Timothy Snyder’s book On Freedom. I was moved repeatedly while reading, and as I put it down, I had to sit for several minutes. Here are my notes from the book. Quotations are taken directly. Anything outside of quotations are my own thoughts or paraphrasing of Snyder’s words.</p><p>“Freedom is not just an absence of evil but a presence of good.”</p><p>What a simple statement but one that nevertheless needs to be made. It’s part of certain individuals’ and groups’ MO to make us cynical so that we give up hope. But if we value freedom – as so many of us purport to do – we must strive towards being open to, nurturing, and valuing the good.</p><p>The book argues that five factors are needed for freedom:</p><p>“The five forms are: sovereignty, or the learned capacity to make choices; unpredictability, the power to adapt physical regularities to personal purposes; mobility, the capacity to move through space and time following values; factuality, the grip on the world that allows us to change it; and solidarity, the recognition that freedom is for everyone.”</p><p>1/</p><p><a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Freedom</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Reading</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/TimothySnyder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TimothySnyder</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Society" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Society</span></a></p>

Nonilex<p>If that does not hold, then nothing else does. If we have the law, then violence may not be committed by one person against another on the basis of namecalling or strong feelings.
