Beautifully explained. Thank you Alison! Today we see that 80M people (majority) of the Americans chose to Escape from Freedom and act from the earlier stages.

Erich Fromm saw that many many years ago. Now, a new question raises for me; what’s a healthy level of autonomy for each individual. Many people don’t need much autonomy to get by perhaps. A subject to discuss or even a research study to focus on.
