Perhaps the greatest crime against Americans has been the debasement of our currency – though I am not talking about fiat money. What I am talking about is the debasement of our words and ideas.
I have yet to read the rest of the link above (beyond the quote above).
That quote is worth millions. Millions of lives. Millions of tears. Millions of fortunes. Millions of years.
It is the currency - stupid.
When the currency is designed to reach perfect information, then, the human species will survive - if possible.
The good war is the one defeating falsehood.

I've read the rest of the link and as a result of my reading there now appears to be some confusion that can be worked upon in the effort to remove the confusion.
A very good explanation on the subject of 'collective' phenomenon is "Global Brain" by Howard Bloom. "Freedomness" is a collective product of many individual contributions of 'freedom'.
I think there is a real need to understand this phenomenon.
Example:
Roaches are free compared to rocks.
Human beings are free compared to Roaches.
Human beings may not survive the next huge meteor impact upon the planet earth.
Roaches may survive the next huge meteor impact upon the planet earth.
Does that make Roaches more free? What is the measure of 'freedomness' for roaches compared to human beings?
Human beings may be able to destroy the next huge meteor that will impact the planet earth.
Roaches can never destroy the next huge meteor that will mpact the planet earth.
How does the above words manage to measure the realtive 'freedomness' between Raoches and Human Beings?
If human beings do colonize another planet, then, will human beings import Roaches?
What is your personal level of 'freedomness' and how does your personal level of freedomness add or subtract from the total level of 'freedomness' for the human species?
Anyone?
