My freedom stop where someone else freedom begin in equal terms, it
doesn't stop where the feeling of someone else start.
Because it could not be technologies but lifestyle or religious believes
or others.

Doing it in secret?

Concealed carry?

This is the most confusing.
How is that they feel threatened when they are not in danger or menaced?

They are not interested in the job, but in the income derived by the
job. But do they have any entitlement to it?

You missed a few question:
1) How can someone leave Islam, when so many Muslims feel threatened by
this simply act?
This simply act threaten the Ummah itself that have not the same belief
system like other kaffir (impure) groups

2) How can someone be atheist....?
3) How can someone be homosexual...?
4) ....?

The problem is not with freedom technologies, but with freedom itself.
Any free act will, in a way or another, conflict with the direct or
indirect, immediate or delayed interests of someone else.

Do you prefer suppress freedom or suppress conflicts?

[Intangible capital is] the preponderant form of wealth.
When we look at the shares of intangible capital across income classes,
you see it goes from about 60 percent in low-income countries to 80
percent in high-income countries.
That accords very much with the notion that what really makes countries
wealthy is not the bits and pieces, it's the brainpower, and the
institutions that harness that brainpower.
It's the skills more than the rocks and minerals.
