One hundred percent absolute freedom. I would dread to live in a world with 100% security. There are so many horror stories in the sci-fi world about that happening. At least with absolute freedom we have some semblance of a chance of being able to live our lives the way we would like to. Even though we would have to compete with others for that possibility, there is no guarantee that we would be able to do anything if we were fully "secured". If you think of it in a governmental point of view, we would be taken over and run by the state. On the other hand if we were guaranteed "freedom" there would be an anarchic state of being where disorder would reign. I'd rather take my chances with chaos rather than sterility.
