OK, that's really fatuous. He's a statist, he doesn't like Musk, he likes regulations, he like communities pulling together and public services, fair enough. But then he's fabricated this thing about "positive freedoms" like it's the big philosophical insight that distinguishes his allies from his enemies. That's some post hoc justification, he isn't really informed by that philosophy at all, he's just a fan the string bag of assorted values I previously mentioned. People invariably want both kinds: "I don't want to be coerced, because I want to do [whatever]". And this stuff about gravity, where he gets into justifying state control like it's a law of nature and helps us walk around, good grief.
