I think you missed the point.
The post was not, imho, that freedom was not an inherent yearning in each individual . . .
The point was that world governments and cultures through the eons virtually all implemented heavy handed control for eons.
I think his point is essentially correct.
Certainly God created us with an interesting paradox--a God-shaped void within yearning to worship Him which will worship virtually anything as an inferior substitute rather than submit to even God Almighty . . .
and a desire to be free to express our God designed individuality without restraints.
