I think he was just trying to point out that if you think you're free, you're more deeply enslaved than you might want to believe.
I think an example of this, you can't do whatever you want to do. You can't park in certain places, you can't cross a red light in the middle of the night with no one around, you can't grow certain things, if you do some certain things, you get locked away and treated like a subhuman. Especially minorities.
How do you know you're genty enslaved to a system?
When you sit at a red light in the middle of the night with no one around, and wait for it to turn green.
If you were truly free, you'd have no fear and the knowledge of how to cross an intersection that is empty regardless of a red light. You could treat it as a stop sign then go, but no, mostly we will sit, and wait, for no reason other than, because I've learned to not go on a red light.
Very free person right there
But that's only one opinion on the topic. I wouldn't fret too hard or think it's fearbased. None of that explains it correctly. Its an exercise towards real freedom, not the illusion or 'great dream' of it.
You two would make for a pretty interesting and fun conversation on this subject.
