Is the free flourishing of all really a CONDITION of the free flourishing of
each as an ontological imperative to ethical action conditioned by the
nature of reality?

1. Is it the condition because another's oppression occurs or because
another's oppression is known?
2. Is it a condition because another's oppression is caused by the society
in which another who may feel 'free' lives?
3. Are 1 & 2 both important (causation and knowledge)?
4. If MR is RB's current positiion and there is a fundamental level of
connecitivity does MR imply that:
a) my free flourishing is conditioned on the free flourishing of all
sentient creatures joined by the 'cosmic envelope'? Am I free if martians
are bound?
b) my free flourishing is conditioned on the free flourishing of all
matter-energy - sticks and stones and bones and bunnies?

What is the status of a basic ontological drive towards freedom expressed
beyond the self?
