Dave: If I tell you have A, B, or C, but you can only choose betwen A and B.
I could say yes you are free to choose between a or b
but you aren't really free.
N: on the other side if you don't restrict my possibilities and you give me an infinite number of choices, I'll be even less free.
Dave: why?
N: because if I have infinite choices, I can't choose anything at all due to a lack of capacity to evaluate them all.
that is, I'll have to limit the number of choices myself to be able to pick one, and so we are back to the same conceptual status of your 3 choices A and B minus C, restricted freedom.
So do we really experience freedom, or we only have some kind of perception of freedom?
