This is a book about the dynamics of the aspirational society It explores the boundaries of permissible thought deviations and transgressions that create constant innovations When confronted with a problem an innovative mind struggles and brings forth something distinctive new ideas new inventions and new programs based on unconventional approaches to solve the problem But this can be done only if the culture creates large breathing spaces by leaving people alone not as a matter of state generosity but as something fundamental in being an American Consequently the Constitutional mandate of Congress shall make no law has encouraged fearless speech unrestrained thought and endless experimentation leading to newer developments in science technology the arts and not least socio political relations Most of all the First Freedoms liberate the mind from irrational fears and encourage an environment of divergent thinking non conformity and resistance to a collective mindset The First Freedoms encourage Americans to be iconoclastic to be creatively crazy to be impure thus enabling them to mix and re mix ideas to design new technologies and cultural forms and platforms anything from experimental social relations and big data explorations to electing our first black president
