The Explosion of Choice – AEON
It’s not just that we don’t always know our minds. It’s that choice in its current incarnation isn’t, in fact, always freeing… In the past, for example, freedom has sometimes been imagined as a release from oppression or as an act of pure imagination, alternative visions we might want to bring back into circulation. As it turns out, choice doesn’t always produce freedom, and freedom itself often looks very different.
Trying to maximize everything is futile. Choice doesn’t always equate to freedom.
