  > That’s reaching. No it's not. > You’re by that logic locked on the internet, the supermarket and tattood by your credit score. You in fact are, but those things aren't as severe as a tattoo on your face declaring your widely-recognized status as someone's property. The point is that social status and the conspiracy of the rest of society to enforce that can be just as confining if not more so than a literal lock. A prisoner that escapes from prison isn't free, so long as he's within reach of the society that put him there, and a prisoner who understands that may not bother to escape at all.
