It certainly does. Do you recognize society in my brother here?:

quoting nevent1q…4c5x

As long as this is all you want to do, and you do not have to do things you do not want, you seem to be free.
But it is also a little bit about what those wants are exactly. For instance my brother thinks he wants to go to doctor and eat pills because they save him from his fate, and that sickness is a given, like fate. Of course he has his explanation why I am healthy. That is because firstly I am lucky and have genes of an uncle of a grandma who is also said to have been healthy. And I was always physically better built. And that because as a child (when we both ate the same rubish) I was the one who was more sick, so I got immunity to everything as an old man. And he will not even try any of my diets, because reducing plant and milk contents in his food will kill him, given his already poor health. And doctor's pills are sacred, of course.
AND, he also wants to fight Russians. Because russians have always tried to enslave lithuanians. Except the russians he knows personally, of course. Those are all nice people and excellent engineers, but all those other russians that he does not know, are bad as they have always been.
Of course, he wants to drive under speed limit, wear mask, isolate and vaxx when told, pay taxes, and all that.
And he will die defending all these countless freedoms that he has.
He is nothing special, just like everybody outside Nostr. On Nostr people are not as much lost as those outside, but still. You can't be paranoid enough about what it is you think is true and what you think you want. That is what Buddha essentially taught, and he was right. 2500 years ago.
