Like I said, The "Freedom to" is not something I consider as a real freedom. So your points are irrelevant. Yes we are free. What hinders us from finding ways to teleport, understand everything and whatnot? We are only not free if there are expressed prohibitions against it (finding ways), but it does not mean that the "freedom from" does not exist, but is only violated by someone else.

I was actually trying to say that what you are proposing as freedom is almost a contradiction, since its almost a paraphrasing of the phrase "if there is a will there is a way" There are things that no matter how much we strive to, will never be achieved. Like
finding an all encompassing theory of everything, becoming a Laplace demon esque demon being, or heck,
knowing the spin and the position of a particle at the same time. From the moment we exist we are bound by our own existance. From this POV, freedom is nothing but an illusion, along with free will and all other little similar bunnies.
