> To be human is to desire freedom and be free.

Hm? Like every species, being a member of that species means having been selected by evolution over countless generations to further the species. It's an ingenious distributed algorithm, if you wish. To "desire freedom" is a nice illusion that you are telling yourself, quite rightfully, but that's not what it means "to be human".
