Absolute freedom. In order to have absolute security, you need to entrust your security to someone or something else. By necessity, this other is more free than you and now you have an inequality of freedom in this hypothetical society. Not that absolute freedom isn without terrible side effects. But at least it comes closer to a level playing field than the other extreme. But obviously neither of these extremes is desirable.
