Better than average, though in my opinion it is pretty much just a worse version of I Hate Systems. Still worth reading though.
Thanks
Where did you find this story of Buddha? I am curious.
I think you fundamentally have a different view on freedom than I do and perhaps have misunderstood what I wrote. Happens, I am not the best writer. I am not trying to comment on a moral level in the first place. Crack does ruin lives, because humans are not ‘free’ from casuality. Everyone here knows that. That was never why I commented. I commented because you seemed to believe that freedom imprisons. Your evidence was faulty, I brought it into question. I wanted a discussion. Continuing, in your mind it seems that words have power to restrict freedom. Or more specifically, you see knowledge as a chain. When you tell a child to not touch a rabid racoon, you expect your words to act as a barrier that restricts choice. On a fundamental level, this is flawed. Even if you were to tell the kid that you will do x, y, and z to them if they disobey, you are not restricting their freedom. You are only giving them knowledge that they can act any way on, because they have freedom of choice. In the end they can still touch the racoon. This is our current reality. Your example is literally our reality. So how does it inform of what lies beyond it? How does it show the danger of freedom? I am not sure. To be real, I mostly agree with you on a moral level. The visible difference between us is that I see freedom differently than you do. We don’t need less freedom, I would even say more freedom would be a good thing. What everyone needs is more knowledge on the outcomes of their actions so that they can make informed decisions.
You did not initially have an argument. You did make a statement and and attempt an explanation, but an faulty explanation built on a flawed statement has no legitimate hold in discussion. You did however make an argument afterwords. People already have the freedom to do most things, the only immutable blocks that exists on actions are personal. Kids can and do use crack, despite laws in most modernized contries existing disallowing production, sale, and consuption of the substance. Authorities acting on these laws are the ones that imprison people. Freedom has little to do with the actions these people take. Really, just look past your strong opinion for moment. Billions of people have the freedom to do crack. Have they, or will a signifcant portion of them ever be imprisoned. No. The freedom to do something does not force one to do that thing.
You do. You didn’t even make an argument.
Fewer and perhaps weaker, but far far closer to the actual event. Distance is a factor even for nigh omnipotent beings.

A lot of methods to power do corrupt though. Bloodbending could be one of them.
One day I am going to figure out what a deagon is.
This is probably him -> her
Unless new characters are spontaneously appearing and disappearing. Sumer -> Summer
