The Illusion of Freedom - Are You Truly Free?

Are you as free as you think? In our video "The Illusion of Freedom - Are You Truly Free?" we explore Jean-Paul Sartre's challenging perspective on existentialism and personal freedom. We question whether our choices are genuinely our own or shaped by unseen influences. This exploration uncovers how external factors like society and culture might be scripting more of our lives than we realize. Sartre's idea that "existence precedes essence" suggests we craft our identity through actions, not inherent traits. Do we embrace this freedom, or hide from it to avoid discomfort?
