Frankly, the concept of 'free' as 'unfettered' is naive and misdirected. A good many people live their lives 'unfettered'. Of course, this is because they are so poor they have no ties, no obligations - and no food. The concept of freedom is empty and meaningless without a corresponding concept of agency and action. Similarly, the concept of "unfettered learning" is empty without reference to the skills, capacities, and agency needed in order to actually become educated, fettered or otherwise. Structures for dialogue, engagement, security and good order are needed in order to support freedom, whether in learning or otherwise. Otherwise your 'freedom' will be fodder for the 'unfettered' action of someone or something bigger and stronger than you.
