Freedom and responsibility themselves are at stake. One does not find freedom or enact responsibility by surrendering to anothers conceptualization of these ideas. Living out the rules of conscience laid down by someone else for the attainment of an unquestioned goal, a freedom designed and articulated by someone else, is the surrender of human imagination and intuition.In the more extreme versions of this, we end up with a collective momentum resulting in events such as Nazi extermination of millions of Jews, the Inquisition, or similar events recently in Africa and elsewhere. That comes from allocating ones conscience to someone else, not attending to ones own deeper intuitive sense of right and wrong.
