Ok, but end of the day physics holds you to the ground. The only true form of freedom exists within.
It's impossible to isolate the internal from the external. You can disassociate to minimize the effect of the external, but it still has an effect. Total freedom isn't possible for finite beings, but we can remove the cages built to exclusively benefit others. Those limitations can be renegotiated or broken to benefit everyone as much as possible.
Buddhism teaches about enlightenment but generally speaking I'd agree. The closest you will ever get though, if only momentarily is being contented for a short fleeting period of time. Drug seekers, gamblers, adrenaline junkies, etc. All seek this out.
