can you truely have freedom without finanacial security?
Yes. Yes, you can.
I'm not as sure. If not secure, I will in one way or another be limited, confined. I keep thinking of Malow's hieharchy of needs.
Freedom and capability are not the same thing.
No they are not mutually exclusive. If you are not capable of being financially independent, then you are not free to be independent.
How tall are you?
I was wondering what you think is more important. You can only pick one, so which is it? Don't cop out and say you want both, you can only pick one.

How is one to answer this? It's like saying you can have either freedom or toilet paper.
People undoubtedly want both and so to choose between either/or is impractical.
Your mistake is not separating yourself from the equation.
They have nothing to do with each other. Only someone that truly doesn't understand freedom will say they are connected.

I think I understand freedom. Which is why I referenced Maslow. I have to have mimimal needs met before I can even think freedom. If I'm too worried about survival, I am not free. In fact, freedom won't even be a consideration.
Freedom allows for opportunity of financial security. Without freedom, without the right to choose your own path in life, you could never be 'secure' financially.
I fail to see how the two are mutually exclusive. At all. If anything, financial security PROVIDES for freedom of action.
Another way to look at it. I fail to see the point in making us choose between one or the other when they are both interrelated.
You can only conceivably have freedom under socialism. Under capitalism you are a slave to bosses and chance. What security could there passibly be under this crazy system?
