Just read this in Summerhill School by A. S. Neill and extrapolating beyond school and childhood, is this why society isn't as free as we want it to be?
"Freedom works best with those who have enough combined free emotion and free intelligence to absorb it."
Back to unschooling or "free" schools, he's saying that only those with average and above IQs should be doing it. Is this a bit harsh? Or is it simply real talk?

Freedom isn’t free, it comes with responsibility. Many are not very responsible so those who are have to make the guardrails and the social contract. Best case scenario. Practically most social structures are deformed by the usual parade of vices.
