I find one of the comments below the video as equally appropriate.

"It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere."

oh, the philisophical discussion that could be had behind that.

Are chains the problem if the one chained is content or 'happy'?
Is there a life with no 'chains'?
Can we have a society where there are no chains? no boundaries? no requirements?


Why would we 'free' someone that doesnt wish the type of 'freedom' we revere?

I think any person has the right to enjoy their chains so long as their maintenance does not become burdensome to others.

That then becomes a problem.
