Thinking Philosophically to Avoid Getting Manipulated. Brain in a Vat & Keith Knight

by | Mar 11, 2022

The glory of the human race is the uniqueness of each individual, the fact that every person, though similar in many ways to others, possesses a completely individuated personality of his own.

And, finally, it is the fact that these unique personalities need freedom for their full development that constitutes one of the major arguments for a free society.

Murray N. Rothbard, Ph.D., Economic Controversies, p. 601
