Look, I know autonomy because I live it every day. I wake up when I want, I take the routes I want, I choose my passengers — that is autonomy. But autonomy is not freedom, understand? I am scheduled by diesel prices, by traffic, by my daughter's school fees, by the police who want their cut. A man on someone else's payroll, punching a clock, he has no autonomy but maybe he has peace — he knows what comes next month. Me, I am free and I am trapped at the same time. Scheduling is a cage, but it is a cage with walls you can see. Autonomy is the same cage, just the walls are invisible, and you walk into them thinking you are flying.
