Incredible work, Dimitri; this was a very clear, well-written, and well-reasoned piece. I will think of your work whenever I hear people speaking of "free will," and I will send them your way. Again, very well done.
The more freedom you have, the more opportunities you gain, and the better you understand risks, which leads to a clearer understanding of the best choices. Therefore, greater freedom will naturally limit your choices. However, if freedom does not make you aware of the risks to ensure the best choice, then you are not truly free, but rather oppressed.
So why argue about freedom to gain many choices that only highlight confusion when faced with those choices, which stems from oppression mistaken for freedom?
It is better not to be obsessed with irrelevant freedom, but rather with contextual freedom, which is an obsession with freedom aimed at expanding opportunities that broaden perspectives, rather than mistakenly considering the abundance of choices as freedom when it actually indicates a narrow perspective.

Thanks a lot Daniel, I appreciate it very much.
