The freedom with which we are imbued physically is radical.

My freedom to swing my fist doesn't really end at your nose, that's just a societal ideal. No force naturally springs up to interfere.

The universe foists upon us a great and terrible freedom, one that we scarcely dare consider or exercise.

Though we are profoundly limited by the possibilities presented by physics, cultures work to psychically limit the still incredible scope of what heroism or atrocities their members could commit.

Unless of course we have no free will, or everything is deterministic.
