Those all, or at least mostly, sound like bad developments that we'd be better off without, but I don't think they fall under the category of what Luke is getting at.

He's talking about limitations that have always been true of humans (i.e. we can only live on earth, we're mortal), but that might not be true anymore or for much longer, rather than the more mundane limits on freedom (primarily in the U.S.) that have been imposed on us by bad laws or improper regulation.

I'm guessing that discrepancy is why you got the downvotes. Hope you'll stick around though!
