I view freedom, liberty and sovereignty in general as concepts more accurately described as spectra than as binaries – (https://www.facebook.com/luke.weinhagen/posts/10218951102141226) – as every individual has varying access to each of these within any of the limitless interactions we can exercise them, but I agree with the conclusion.

We all have limits. These limits make cooperation valuable. We exceed our individual limits for freedom and liberty through cooperation with others. In doing so we insure each other’s sovereignty. Where we fail to do so we are at the mercy of, are slaves to, the forces imposing those limits.

You are sovereign in fact or you are not. You have liberty or freedom by permission. If you must ask permission you are a slave.
