Re: Where do you want to finish?
You are defining freedom in the same sense that it is possible to say a teller being held at gunpoint is free to not give the bank robber the money. Technically that is true since she still has agency but that is not a definition of freedom that is useful for any discussion.
Consider the food example you used. To be at the mercy of the charity of others or to be required to commit crimes in perpetuity to eat is not freedom.
