Maybe 10% of people have had "freedom", for maybe 5% of the time since the invention of agriculture.
It’s a tough call. For all we know, the people experiencing the most “average freedom” might be third world or indigenous populations, despite whatever outward metric we might apply to measure such things. I suspect that small tribes are (or feel?) “freer” under autocratic rule in general, than larger ones.
it would be foolish to assume that freedom and human rights are either going to arise, or going to be maintained, as a matter of destiny
That.
Good post.
