I start a new journey without finishing other paths of my past
it came suddenly to brain and soul
aware of the lack of experience, now is a goal
Freedom, Liberty, Life, Happiness, naturally, should pass
'It is a good thing for an uneducated person to read books of
quotations'
Winston Churchill
'¿Hay algo más allá de la Palabra?'
Rafael Arráiz Lucca
'No word was given more meanings and so variously affected humans
than Freedom'

Introduction
Methodology
1.Counting the 'Liberty' word on religious books using digital tools.
2.Investigating traces and evidence, metadata analysis for the
word-concept of liberty, giving the output of the semantic
interpretation of the word liberty in different languages from at
least one representing each of the major linguistic families of
global languages-cultures.
3.Philosophical approaches (overview) and thought on Liberty:
Selected Libertarian's ideology based on quotes and paraphrasing
its ideas in our own words. Minibiographies for another understanding
of Liberty from ‘our Libertarian Tree’: Aristotle,
Saint Thomas Aquinus, Hume, Locke, Adams, Bastiat, Menger, Mises,
Hayek, Friedman, Sowell, among dozens more, plus added historical
characters, always looking for Liberty concepts and treatments
(Erasmus, Al Farabi, Lao Tse, e.g., and dozens more)
UInvestigation: i) Compared educational programs study between Liberal Studies Masters Degrees, Economy Degrees
at Universities and, Scottish Liberalism teaching at Highschool
a global random survey. (Dra. María Eugenia Perfetti).
iii) Students Survey at Campuses on knowledge of names linked
tto Liberalism and Libertarianism (UNAV/UPNA/EHU/Bordeaux).
iiii) presence/absence of libertarian bibliography at
uuniversities(UNAV/UPNA/EHU/Bordeaux).
5. A review, a reflection and a discussion: on Liberty and Economics,
Economy and Ecology, Economic Independence and mental failure in
Homo sapiens, Ecological Resources and Specimen Reproductive success
in vertebrates, self abandon behavior on mammals when hunger.
(Dr. Elizabeth Méndez+Profs. César Yegres, Pablo Gatto, Miguel Méndez)
6.Epilogue, but not the End!. A personal statement
(suggestion/proposal) and a global call to change the fate
of the old reign of iliberals. It is time for Liberators,
the natural evolution of classical liberals and modern libertarians!
PPreface
TThe sole aim, task:
'….to generate the curiosity of self learning on Liberty issues
in everyone reading this small grain of myself, to pursue their
own and their sacred family's freedom and liberty through
entrepreneurship in order to depend less on state apparatus and
to spread with our own example and will, the strong message to all
human beings. Liberators, this is, Liberals-Libertarians, must
conquer our own lives and minds ourselves and not to try to
'change' the actual fate within the state, trying to overtake
the same state that we want small to try to impose our views to
anyone, if some families want to apply socialism in any of its
hundreds of variants in their own farms at owned lands, good, let
them be! We are convinced that the unique package of knowledge one
can apply in oneself is Liberty Defenders 'ideology-philosophy'.
This latter could be the ultimate or sole contribution to new
developments on Liberty Thought of this informal piece of paper
(or bytes). Do not get me wrong: anytime the battles to defend
Liberty permits in 'their' Arena of state/government elections,
we must always vote for the less socialists or the more libertarian
between the options! At the same time we continue to add more souls,
believers, citizens, free sisters & brothers of the 7 oceans to the
Liberty Defenders Team, the Liberators! Own properties, invest, as
individuals, as family, as friends or partners, to produce goods and
services for all, be the local benefactor, compete well, improve, be
free and happy, laissez-faire the invisible hand of the spontaneous
order to act, in the name of God, our Human Nature, the Natural
Liberty!’
We see almost all greatest thinkers-writers on Liberty like classic
liberals, libertarians, anarchocapitalists from all imaginable
possibilities of its chosen branches: Misesians, Hayeksians,
Rothbardians, Randians, etc., during 20th & 21th centuries,
we see, regards, that many if not all always propose "their"
own view, subjective perception on Society and states, how these
two groups should be, etc.
This is not our aim with this text.
We would just try to put in perspective, as far and Deep we can,
the timeline and Evolution of Liberty ideas and how positive are
these for growth, progress of families and individuals, then the
Society in which they interact.
Every author on the Liberty Tree has an unique vision.
A great diversity we are going to profit on, to spread It all
over the inhabited Lands of Planet Earth to promote entrepreneurial
families , free , independent, liberated.
Prologue
The Verb, the words, the language, the abstract concepts of knowledge
is a unique feature of Homo sapiens, compared to other living mammal
or extant primates. In fact, the human larynx is in a lower position
in the vocal tract than in other primates, which is related to the
resonance cavity in the upper vocal tract for the production of
vowels, and only humans among primates have direct cortical
control over laryngeal musculature, which may have evolved together
with the descent of the larynx in our ancestors. Also, our species
is the only mammal using hands as tool makers, as gestual
communicators, as speech accessory, as body language aid,
These three anatomophysiological differences make humans the only
animal creating words, phrases, concepts, ideas.
Thus, we are both animal and human. We have several other features
to link our being with Nature, Creatures, with Biology, Ecology,
Evolution, Cytology or Ethology, e.g. My crazy idea on the first
random appearance of this vocal features on some old primates
hominids from the genus Homo spp, is linked to the Biblical couple
of Adam and Eve. Maybe they were the first 2 specimens born with
this miraculous vocal tract and brain, and still the only one
biological species on Earth with this evolutionary trait, maybe
a breaking point mutation. Later arose more individuals with these
features in Eden, Africa, and culture, and history begins.
Certainly, this vocal capacity gave humans the supremacy of better
communication to gain control of the ecosystems, biotopes and
biomes they were earning little by little only walking from
East Africa to southern Africa, through the once green and watered
Sahara towards a land bridge at Gibraltar to reach Europe,
through the Rift to get today's Egypt, Israel, Mesopotamia,
East Asia, and from here reaching Australia and later Bering
and the Americas.
As I am a biologist, ecologist, with 2 Masters degrees and 1
doctorate, and the more and more I study biology I wonder more
and more on the perfection of cells, life, the biosphere, I used
to say to my dear students: ' the more I study science the more
I Believe in God's Creation of Creatures and Nature and the
Universe. So, I am a believer, but also a little sinner, and
I have not yet achieved a direct communication with God to
ask Him all my questions about life, love, happiness, peace,
dignity, liberty, and other very human values-words.
Being this only my opinion, that you ought to doubt it from the
start, you are going to give me a chance to develop my principal
aim in this almost free ebook: my intention is to share to the new
generations the tools to understand and to get more information on
Liberty, the supreme value of our Lives to reach an almost close
Eden's happiness.
Introduction
Is funny to discover the Libertarian thinkers and promoters
during a historic global lockdown. Even if I have always
considered myself as a Freedom and Liberty lover, since
childhood and teenage, but maybe in the sense of Liberation
of nations like Bolivar achieved with his friend Sucre and
O'Leary and dozens more sharing that passion against the
oppression of Spanish rulers and laws. I profit from getting
out every day of the quarantine of 2020 around my new town,
Uharte, in Navarra, to walk the dog of my children, called Puppy.
So, I bring my cell phone and listen to YouTube contents on a list
of philosophers and moral and economics leaders: Friendman, Hayek,
Adams, Bastiat, Locke, Hume, and all the linked influences top-down
and bottom-up! All this could be verified if you analyze the cookies
registry of my mobile device! How I decided to listen, to know,
to learn more about these guys? Well, I have the custom of listening
to good old Venezuelan TV shows online like Uslar Pietri or Carlos
Rangel with Sofía Ímber, the first with a great art and history
educative weekly program called Valores Humanos, 'Human Values',
from 1953 to 1987, and the second with an interesting morning show
of interviews to politicians, writers and artists called Buenos Días,
'Good Morning', from, 1969 to 1988. As you see I have a rare taste
to be a young man, a millennial? born in 1977. I used to watch
these 2 programs in The '80s, and later with the Internet,
I browse many programs on politics, economics, and history.
I liked the ideas of Uslar Pietri, one of the wisest minds of
the XX century with no doubt, and I was surprised by
Carlos Rangel's intelligence, speech, and how he defends liberty
and previewed the catastrophe of socialism in Venezuela 30 years
earlier. These two citizens warned all of us in my country, to get
a smaller state, to get more economic liberty, to depend less on oil,
etc. Trough these guys, I reached to listen to modern Venezuelans like
Ricardo Hausmann, a future Nobel Prize in Economics, and by this time
the famous 'cookies' of my traces during my online browsing on
information started to pop up on my screen with similarities like
Martin Krause, Axel Kaiser, Javier Milei or Gloria Alvarez, all great
defenders of Libertarianism and Freedom, but in different degrees of
efficiency to get new partners of Defenders for the Rights of Liberty,
Life, and Happiness. Because every person has a different personality,
these latter Latin-American Libertarian leaders, at academic and
political networks, they defend so passionately the truth of Liberty
and all concepts of free markets, the price law and subjective
value, the spontaneous order, the invisible hand of the market,
'laissez-faire', etc., that often they fall into sectarianism and
make it harder to convince new Defenders from the socialism
supporters (socialist people without understanding it).
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy and learn a lot with their YouTube
performances, but overall Milei and Alvarez should shut down
the noise and screams, and focus on their supreme intelligence.
Krause and Kaiser, they are more educative, and Hausmann is a great
professor. So, I looked out for Biographies and documentaries on
Hayek, Mises, Menger, Bastiat, Jefferson, Locke, Hume,
Saint Thomas Aquinus, Saint Agustin, and the 3 Greeks All-Star,
Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle. Also, I included many more names
to my list, you will see it in chapter 3, not only in the Libertarian
Tree we are trying to built, but also other important historical
characters like, Confucius, Erasmus, Avicenna, e.g.
Also, we will include the knowledge from Libertarians like Bastos,
Zanotti, Di Lorenzo, Scalia, Napolitano, Rodriguez-Braun,
Benegas-Lynch, and even we will be in touch with the dilemma
between Erasmus and Luther on free-will (Determinism vs Libertarianism?
).
I think I was pro Liberty since I was a child, teenager and young
person. In one of my firsts blogs (2010)
inttled https://virtuous-earth.blogspot.com/ I just
proposed ‘a tiny state’ or liberty to become an entrepreneur.
Long before of my rediscoveries and being aware (2020) that
I like Hayek, Mises, Friedman or Rothbard ideas, as I mentioned
in the first paragraph of this Introduction, I have proposed in
another blog https://eh-de-elguezabal.blogspot.com (2019) some
ideas that today I realize that coincides very much with some ideas
of Murray Rothbard, like giving more autonomy for regions in a given
state, for example, tha I will be explaining in the last chapter.
Methodology
My main objective is to try to produce a big visual frame
synthesizing all rational data and empiric evidence, logical
interpretation, to generate a Canvas Infographic on Liberty for
Happier Lives (Let’s see if I finally dare…). For this simple aim,
I have set a diverse and heterodox strategy to study the Concept of
Liberty, I have decided, subjectively, in my own words and opinions,
to call it ‘Spontaneous Method’, where I will use i) free available
contents in the Internet (YouTube, Google), ii) profiting all
information available (potential population or pool of data) for
any subject (Liberty, e.g.) and character (Averroes or Hayek, e.g.)
and gathering all that in a mental pool, then selecting (a survey,
sampling) the concepts, phrases, ideas, words that I consider -in my
subjective construction- as key components of my approach under
construction, iii) with these pieces and fragments of thought I
will be applying random screening and separation methods, as in
a chemistry lab splitting liquids into different density phases,
different liquids, different dissolved and particulate solutes,
and different dissolved gases: decantation, distillation, filtration,
centrifugation, until obtaining a selection of ideas capable of being
usable (by my own reasoning) in new phrases, thoughts to cope with
our idea and natural inspiration thinking on Liberty from my personal
views,
I am not a theologist but a Believer; I am not an anthropologist but
a biologist; I am not a linguistic but an amateur philologist; I am
not a ‘productive’ scientist but a humble science trained student and
a former university professor...
