.too many shady people get away with murder, figuratively and literally, by invoking that right.
exactly. Imagine choosing your experiences knowing difficulty and reward beforehand without being locked in. If I wanna have gang wars in la then do so with gangsters. If I want to turn a dying universe into a spaceship using the four infinite elements of the earth just 2 I like.

"Freedom" is the freedom to choose for ourselves, determine for ourselves what we want to do wth our lives, as long as that doesn''t interfere with others rights to do the same.
Self determination to be free to live without burdensome gubment regulations controlling everything we do.
if earth is the common plane and everyone is grounded then able to free their mind create their own universe around them and we could speak face to face while at the same time be in another part of the galaxy in another time altogether.

The freedom from interference with our minds by Authoritarian elements intent on directing our thoughts & interests for their own purposes (unbeknownst to us).
Recognize that news and events are riddled with propaganda, advertising, subliminal messaging, targeted information - all designed to condition your mind to accept the information as "fact". Repeat something enough it becomes "fact".
I'm lousy at lyrics but I seem to remember something about "Free Your Mind and the rest will follow". That's the one liberty I'd REALLY like to see preserved: Having a Mind free of intentional noise and interference from outside sources.
