BOACast Live: The Safety Trap of Freedom

When people feel unsafe, they don’t ask for freedom — they ask for control.

In this BOACast discussion, we explore the fragility of classical liberalism and whether it’s become a luxury belief in an increasingly unstable world. We ask:

Can a society built on liberty survive when people crave safety over freedom?
Does self-defense-only warfare truly protect liberty, or must a free nation sometimes go on the offense?
And what does human nature tell us about the trade-off between security and autonomy?

This is a conversation about fear, freedom, and the fine line between virtue and survival — and why the answers determine whether liberty endures or collapses.
