 The Freerider syndrome is why people lose their freedom.

Most people complain these days, but if you judge people's actions, they at the same time signal very clearly that others must do the work for them. 

Forn many, this kill all motivation for them to do something.

"Why should I do all the hard work alone for freedom that everyone benefits from."

There you have it. 

The Freerider syndrom kills people's motivation to fight for  Freedom.

So, rule No. 1: Quit being a Freerider 
 Don't give up on the good job you're doing. I mean to notice that the population is starting to have enough. Don't underestimate the power of this even if not much is said. No one is more dangerous than a man who just wants to be left alone. 
 This is like the “why should I bother” sentiment I see everywhere 

The hard part is true alignment with future outcome 

- What does “freedom” actually mean
- How to get there? 
- What does success look like?

People (myself included) only scratch the surface of important subjects 

It’s actually why the scamdemic was so important… The aptly called “great awakening” 
 Thx for your zap🧡

- freedom: If you define it as something else than absence of coercion it becomes meaningless because you constantly run into contraditctions. But with this definition, it becomes possible to unite in many types of freedom fights

- how to get there: It's a game, and one can only learn the rules of the game by playing it. FAFO. 

- winning is the same as becoming better at playing it, because it's a never ending process. This is great, because it means that you can win much more than you lose, and I can win without you having to lose. 

I have a maturing idea for a book about this. 

Happy with the other books I've written, but this one I'm really looking to start working on 🔥 
 Well you would have one reader here! DO IT. A fascinating subject to pull apart
