The Importance of Freedom

The opposite of freedom is coercion and regulation. Matt Ridley had a great line in his book, How Innovation Works,. If you really want to create prosperity, you need freedom. You cannot coerce people into creating knowledge for you. It just doesn't work that way. This is also one reason why I'm not an AGI doer because anything that is smart enough to be an AGI will realize that there are no limitation on resources in the universe but there is a limitation on knowledge.
