Stress and freedom, by Ernesto Castro

Interview

What is freedom today?

Rapidity has taken over our existence, and we have normalised stress in our lives: what does freedom mean against this backdrop? Can we really make free choices? Is stress inherent to our age, did it come about at some point in history or is it an adaptive trait? In this interview we discuss meritocracy, self-knowledge, our success-driven culture, desires and the paradox that exists when balancing stress and freedom.
