Timothy Snyder - On Freedom 

Timothy Snyder, author of On Freedom, discusses the concept of freedom, critiquing how it's often misinterpreted in the U.S. He argues that freedom is not merely about the absence of barriers or oppression but is a positive condition that enables people to thrive and express themselves. Snyder emphasizes that true freedom requires collective efforts and government action to create supportive conditions. He challenges the notion of "free speech," focusing instead on the need for "free speakers," particularly those who challenge power. Freedom, according to Snyder, is about enabling people to live meaningful, creative lives together.
