Is absolute freedom a paradox if it's applied universally rather than to an individual? If no one can place restrictions on one another, this places a restriction on everyone. It seems to me then the question is asking if I would prefer absolute freedom or absolute security, applied to only me and no one else, which is essentially asking if I would rather do whatever I want or be imprisoned. Looking at the question this way, it's biased towards absolute freedom.
