Freedom Revealed
There is nothing more to be said about freedom…or is there?
Humans have thought about, talked about, written about, and desired freedom since time immemorial.
Guided by his “Gurus” Benjamin Franklin, and Richard Feynman, the author of Freedom Revealed, Donald Wilkie has discovered a new way of looking at freedom—not as a philosophy but rather as a simple mechanical system that anyone, even a Harvard graduate, can understand.
A Unique Perspective
Freedom Revealed will change your understanding of freedom forever. Learning the elements of the system brings an unimagined clarity. Through this lens, you can instantly see if something is pro-freedom or anti-freedom.
1.) What are the best conditions a people can create for their own governance?
…once established, how can a society maintain those conditions?

If You Can Keep It…
There are always forces undermining freedom, it’s the way nature works. Knowledge is the “tool” that an engaged citizenry uses to “Keep it.”
Here are some some revelations from the book:
Everything starts with nature
If we want to understand the world, we need to understand how nature works.
There is no waste in nature
Competition drives out waste. Like opposite ends of a seesaw, when one goes up the other goes down and vice versa. Nature is a perfect competitive system.
Everything in nature moves towards ease
This is why we see “Do Not Feed the Animals” signs in our National Parks. If we feed the animals, they will stop feeding themselves.
Humans have created two unique systems. The marketplace and government
The marketplace is a competitive system while government is a non-competitive system.
The marketplace is based on a “move to ease.”
Humans trade because it makes our lives easier.
Competitive systems eliminate waste, non-competitive systems create waste.
Competitive systems lead to prosperity. Non-competitive systems lead to poverty.
Let’s Keep in Touch
New and surprising insights arise continually. Through his evolutionary 18 year journey of discovery, the author has repeatedly asked himself, “Why didn’t I think of that before?” The book is in its first edition, there is surely more to add. Keep informed but more importantly, inform us. We would love to hear any and all discoveries you might make.
MEET THE AUTHOR
Donald Wilkie
Freedom is Don’s passion for a very good reason. A free society is a prosperous society in which people (especially Don) love to laugh. Like Franklin’s first literary creation, Silence Dogood, he is a “mortal enemy to arbitrary government and unlimited power,” the encroachment of which makes his “blood boil exceedingly.”
George Washinton’s “Rising Sun” Chair
Whilst the last members were signing it [i.e., the Constitution] Doct FRANKLIN looking towards the Presidents Chair, at the back of which a rising sun happened to be painted, observed to a few members near him, that Painters had found it difficult to distinguish in their art a rising from a setting sun. I have said he, often and often in the course of the Session, and the vicissitudes of my hopes and fears as to its issue, looked at that behind the President without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting: But now at length I have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting Sun.
