this two concepts go back to the same core IMO. freedom is a strong will inside every human being that its almost impossible to supress. we never get to feel completly free. I think there is something that is permanently trapped within the matter that composes our boddy and it feels traped for a life time. that thing maybe our soul or spirit. the never-fulfilness of freedom comes from the life time cage that is our body for our soul.

a trapped soul feels lonely, because it cant directly connect to other souls, neither to the bigger non human souls where it comes from. IMO thats the origin of the eternal loneliness feeling of mankind.

eternal loneliness and unfulfilling freedom are inherent to a human being because he has been given with a soul that permanently wants to go back from were it came from and it manifest its will in a very subtle fashion.

do you guys feel lonely when in hyperspace? or tied to anything that deters your freedom? I dont. i think the psychonaut vanquishes 2 great enemies of mankind: Freedom and Loneliness.

I would approach this from a different point of veiw. I would see it as a Desire and the fullfiment of Desire. Since the desire grows with each fulfillment, that is where I think this infinite chase for freedom comes from. For example the moment your desire is fulfilled you no longer want that particular object/thing. But to be truly liberated we must completely shed the egoistic shell and reunite with nature on a universal scale. But instead we are stuffing ourselves with material things and expect them to fulfill this enormous hole that exists within us as uncertainty. What is it to be completely free...I've only felt that sensation while far in hyperspace, and once I've been liberated from all the desires it doesn't take too long to feel loneliness among those who ever felt that and the rest of the world.

hope this makes sense.

Freedom is independence from coercion, but can it be had from self?
Can we be free of self coercion?
Can we be free of social coercion?

Not even the dead are free.
