"A myopic focus on personal freedom — the nights out, the "me time", the money saved — is a spiritual mirage: You think you want the paradise of nothing ever being asked of you, but it turns out to be the hell of nobody ever needing you."
~ David Heinemeier Hansson
What if the relentless pursuit of personal freedom is leading us to a deeper kind of emptiness? Today we dive into David Heinemeier Hansson's short but engaging essay on "consent morality" and the modern crisis of meaning, asking: Are we neglecting the richness of responsibility, family, and higher values in favor of allowing ourselves to accept the ridiculous notion that as long as we aren't hurting anyone, all ways of living are equal. And worse, that to even suggest otherwise, that there is a "better" way to live, makes one a bigot. Instead of cowering from the challenge, let's address it directly.
