Caged or Tethered?
Beginning of summer I went to the birds of prey sanctuary near lethbridge. First time being in a spot like that. Super cool. As we're going through different exhibits, I noticed something that seemed like a philosophical and existential conundrum. For you see, some birds had a cage they could fly around in, although for raptors used to soaring high and wide, it might as well have been similar to being bolted down to the ground. And the next exhibit, they had these animals out on the grounds, alas, they were tethered via a rope. So. My long winded question to you. And let's create a balance by saying the tether provides identical flight distance as the cage would. What would you prefer? Having absolute freedom in a cage. Or.. Having the illusion of freedom, but ultimately stuck? Bonus points, if you come at it from both a bird of prey AND human perspectives. Or not.

All humans have the illusion of freedom thanks to capitalism and borders. Still, it's preferable to any smaller confinement. Say you're confined to a 500 sqft apartment for your entire life, but you have no bills, you're kept fed and all of your medical needs are taken care of, but you can't go outside, your mates are decided for you (if you're even lucky enough to have one)

How do you understand the mind & brain relation ?
You can also share why you think your option is true. FYI , I regard panpsychism as a kind of property dualism theory.
Identity theory , mind is brain in all aspects
Substance dualism, mind & brain are 2 different substances
Property dualism, mind & brain are 2 properties of 1 substance
Eliminative materialism, mind isn't a useful category, brain is enough
Idealism, the brain & matter appear in a mind
Functionalism, the mind is a software, the brain is a hardware
Emergentism, the mind emerges from the brain
Mysterianism, this question can never be answered

From the bottom up
Always start from the bottom to make it to the top cause at the bottom is where you start to build a foundation without that you got nothing
