I wanted to make the world a better place and I tried everything from humanitarian aid to politics and education. I discovered through both experience and theory that I was not changing the underlying causes of unfreedom. It takes ideas and experiences to alter beliefs and open up the possibility for greater freedom.
This talk is about my own experiences and how they affected my life and career choices, and was presented at a FEE seminar at Austin, Texas, in the summer of 2015.
