The Importance of Meaningful Liberation
I would absolutely agree with you that those are, those are things that we should treasure and protect. I suppose I would question the idea that liberation is the only move we need to make in order to do so. The connection between my argument for human specialness and meaningful liberation is that you can take a human who has all of the characteristics that make people special and you can constrain them either because of privation or because of authoritarianism. You know, they could be born into slavery and unable to meaningfully act on any of those special human characteristics. And I would regard that as a squandering of human potential.
