      freedom and equality seem to be opposites. natural freedom is natural (exponential) growth leading to exponential differences. a tree “explodes” upwards in a forest and monopolizes the bulk of light and resources

          if ur born privileged the best advice is to “believe in urself” bc education, good communications skills, confidence, etc… are all “free” given the environment if not, then it’s likely bad advice bc wo cultural guardrails ur intuition is not so different than base instincts
