End of history, Freedom

History ends when freedom becomes accessible for all.
Freedom derives from the absence of any substantial authorization.
The ontology of contradiction assures us that we will never have any assurance
and that history will never move beyond freedom.
No matter how advanced humanity become, no matter how far we go down the road
of posthumanity or metahumanity,
we will remain within the ontology of contradiction.
We cannot overcome contradiction because contradiction is the source of
our capacity for overcoming.
This leaves us on the terrain of freedom.
It is in this extreme sense that freedom marks the end of history.
