Huh? Modern liberalism wants to enslave everybody to an all-powerful State where there is zero individual autonomy. You are told what to study, what work to do, where to live, what transportation to use, what to eat and not eat, ad nauseum. What am I missing here?
“hosts urge guests to unleash their most strongly held passions and satisfy their deepest cravings, whatever they may be.”
That’s not freedom. That’s slavery to their passions, urges and cravings.
This “analysis” is off the mark. I have been enjoying the Westworld series.

I watched a few episodes. It has some good interesting science fiction. After a while it seemed disgusting.
I am interested in this show but haven’t seen it. It does seem to examine some good questions about morality and AI.

This is a legitimate question, i.e., what limits should or can there be on human behavior? How far SHOULD freedom go in our society? I say that because the majority opinion now in the US seems to be that there should be virtually no governmental restrictions on one’s hedonistic desires, or what you can or cannot do with your body. The Roe decision spawned the notion that the right to “control” one’s body was paramount, and above the right to life of a fetus in the womb.
Also, when you consider how emotionally fragile the millennials seem to be, they might be easily sold on a chance to be able to completely indulge their personal sexual desires, with complete disregard to any other human being, and use a machine instead. I am as big a proponent of individual liberty as most anybody, but not oblivious to the possible pitfalls that might occur when human nature runs completely amok, with no moral constraints at all.
Should I read the linked article? I have not, but let me guess...
It is a libtard who wrote it, and he/she/it assumes that conservatives are advocates of unlimited personal freedom, and that there should be limits, and that we are unaware of this reality?
Okay, so I went and read it...I think the author makes the mistake of assuming liberals are interested in unlimited freedom as the “end goal” of modern liberalism, in the mold of a Roussouian environment...
That isn’t what modern liberalism is. Modern liberalism is complete tyranny.
