Professor Barry Brownstein thank you for illuminating:
"Hayek warned of the crisis we are facing today in 1944. Considerable portions of the populations in America and the West lack comprehension of the principles that afford and sustain freedom. It's possible that your neighbors, family, and friends don’t notice what you notice as freedom erodes. They lack understanding of the foundations of human flourishing, so they have no context for noticing actions you see as attacks on freedom. Their lives go on; what you notice is irrelevant to them."

Nailed it.
Thanks, Carl. In the coming weeks we will be talking more about what they are missing.
