It is, but that's not the problem with lack of (relative) job security. The social effects don't go away if you make a good point about freedom.

Overheard someone talking about job security and it made me realize how much our society conditions us to derisk everything. To remove all uncertainties. To insure everything. But certainly is an illusion. Learning to live without it, or with less of it, is ultimate freedom.

It *is* extremely problematic to get caught up in trying to remove all risk, all uncertainty, as if that were a thing you could do. But the certainty of failure and social dumping for the vast majority is anything but an expression of freedom.

The problem is not that the quoted tweet doesn't make a good point, but that it's refuting the least interesting reason (personal insecurity) for having job security in the first place. Heck, I don't think job security is all that great - but what we have is *worse*, not better.
