Liberty. It’s a simple idea, but it’s also the linchpin of a complex system of values and practices: justice, prosperity, responsibility, toleration, cooperation, and peace. Many people believe that liberty is the core political value of modern civilization itself, the one that gives substance and form to all the other values of social life. They’re called libertarians.
Ok, so none of us creates or produces anything ex nihilo. What if anything follows from this? Our teeth
weren't made by us, nor our hair or nose or eyes. Yet we often benefit
because of these. Our beautiful eyes may impress someone and may even
land us a movie contract. We may be very tall and do well at basketball
in consequence. A few of us may have talents others would kill for!
