Usury

31. Mingling with the concept of freedom and liberty.

Freedom means to have no debt. Or to have lots of money, which means to own others peoples debt. Because what is money? Slavery is progress.

Liberty is the state of being free from oppressive restrictions or control, while freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think without hindrance or restraint.

Mingling?

“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

You are more free realizing you are enslaved?

Btw. Summerize me the philosophy of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was a German philosopher who believed in the importance of reason, freedom, and individualism. He was a proponent of the Enlightenment movement and believed that the only way to progress and freedom is through personal autonomy and rational thought. He was also a critic of usury, believing it to be a crime against humanity. He also argued that no one is truly free unless they are aware of the power of their own personal freedom and autonomy.

Me: Would you agree that usury would be mingling with the concept of freedom, and liberty?

ChatGPT (jan23):

Usury, or the practice of charging excessive interest on loans, can be seen as a way in which the lender exerts control over the borrower. If someone is unable to pay back a loan with high-interest rates, they may find themselves in a position of financial dependence on the lender, which could limit their freedom and liberty. For example, if someone is unable to pay back a loan, they may be forced to sell their property, or to take on additional debt in order to make payments. This can have a detrimental impact on their quality of life and their ability to make choices about their future.

On the other hand, access to credit and loans can provide individuals and businesses with the ability to invest in themselves and grow, which can be seen as a way to increase freedom and liberty. Furthermore, usury laws can help to prevent lenders from exploiting borrowers, which can protect the freedom and liberty of individuals and communities.

It’s worth noting that the concept of freedom and liberty can be complex and multifaceted, and can be understood in different ways. While usury can be seen as a way in which the lender exerts control over the borrower, it can also be seen as a way to increase freedom and liberty by providing access to credit and loans.
