This episode delves into the concept of freedom in America, contrasting its philosophical underpinnings with modern consumerism, exemplified by Amazon's Prime Day. I criticize how consumerism is often mistaken for freedom and explore differing societal views on government and market power. I discuss the recent Microsoft Crowdswift outage, illustrating corporate irresponsibility and the lack of regulatory oversight. The episode also examines the balance between individual freedom and societal responsibilities, arguing that true freedom should consider collective well-being rather than individualistic desires.
