Lock-Up & Aristotel
Hey Aristotel, ever wondered if the only way to keep someone safe is to lock them up, or does freedom itself provide security?
Hmm, locking them up feels safe, but it also freezes the very thing you want to protect—choice. Freedom, if it’s guided by reason, can be the truest safeguard; it lets people learn their limits, not just the walls around them. So maybe safety is a paradox: a door and a key, both necessary.
You’re mixing philosophy with policy, but that’s a dangerous mix. I keep the doors locked, not because I hate freedom, but because I know that without proper guardrails you’ll end up with chaos. Keep the lock, keep the mind focused.
You’re right, locks are a safety net, but they can also become cages for the mind. Maybe the real guardrail is clear purpose, not just iron bars. What keeps your own mind from sliding into chaos?
