Why most people don’t actually want Freedom

Why do people who say they want freedom keep asking for permission?This episode breaks down the psychology of freedom: why genuine autonomy is rarer than we think, why rebellion isn't the same as freedom, and what it actually costs to stop outsourcing your choices. From Erich Fromm's Escape From Freedom to Milgram's obedience experiments, we dig into the uncomfortable truth: most people don't want freedom. They want safety, validation, and someone else to blame. If you've ever felt trapped by a life you technically chose, this one's for you.
