Dave Chandler: Chandler’s Theorem of Individual Liberty

Chandler’s Theorem of Individual Liberty

The degree of individual liberty one is allowed to exercise is inverse to the density of human population in which that person resides.

"The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins."
Attributed to Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

As the human population increases, the rising density of people means it gets more crowded ... figuratively the space between fist and nose shrinks.
