1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,100
Producing laws is not an easier 
problem than producing cars or 

2
00:00:03,100 --> 00:00:04,700
food. 
So if the government's 

3
00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:08,300
incompetence do a good job of 
producing cars and food, why do 

4
00:00:08,308 --> 00:00:11,000
you expect it to do a good job 
producing legal system within 

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,500
which you are then going to 
produce this. 

6
00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:15,600
The cars just didn't know 
certain things. 

7
00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:18,100
Like there's certain things. 
You like one point that you make

8
00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:20,900
when you like, do you think I 
belong in a cage because I 

9
00:00:20,907 --> 00:00:24,700
disagree and that's just a big 
Line in the Sand and an argument

10
00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:28,000
where you're like and that's 
changed my view of a lot of 

11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,700
laws. 
Because you've said that where I

12
00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:33,200
was Just like whoa, because my 
buddy Dave Smith is like the 

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,500
threat is violence and 
imprisonment, and death for the 

14
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:39,600
any law. 
And I'm like, man, that's an 

15
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,200
intense thought. 
And when you actually say to 

16
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,600
someone in their eyes, you say, 
should I be put in a cage? 

17
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,400
Because I smoke marijuana. 
And, and, and, and I still have 

18
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,200
that Duality that cognitive 
dissonance. 

19
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,900
Because the answer is obviously,
no, but I can't picture a world 

20
00:00:53,900 --> 00:00:56,300
without a government, and I'm 
just trying to be as honest as 

21
00:00:56,300 --> 00:00:59,200
possible. 
Yeah, I guess it's like, I know 

22
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,600
you're right. 
That's the because I can't get 

23
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,200
past that thing but I can't. 
I also might have just a little 

24
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,100
bit of Stockholm syndrome where 
I'm like what doesn't know. 

25
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:12,500
I understand their the 
government is like the reserve 

26
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:15,800
parachute. 
You know, it's like because okay

27
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,200
free market overhead rush. 
It. 

28
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:21,300
It's flying off into the Sun and
it's big attack by Eagles. 

29
00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:23,500
And I'm, I have my Reserve 
parachute cord government 

30
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:26,700
because otherwise, you know, I'm
just a perfectly consistent, 

31
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:29,400
moral stain on the sidewalk. 
So I understand that. 

32
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,700
Let me let me sort of give you a
tiny analogy because the whole 

33
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:34,400
point is you're not supposed to 
be able to conceive of a life or

34
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,600
a society without a state, you 
can't. 

35
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:37,700
That's the whole point of 
Freedom. 

36
00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:40,100
If you could conceive of it, 
you'd be the one in charge of it

37
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:43,200
and organizing it. 
It's sort of like saying I can't

38
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,500
conceive like, you know, go back
like 19. 

39
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,400
You go back to like 1985 and 
say, what a kid. 

40
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,300
What's Communications technology
going to be like in 35 years. 

41
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,400
Well, if you could conceive of 
that, you'd end up owning the 

42
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,300
entire Market because you'd get 
the reasons like the whole point

43
00:01:57,300 --> 00:02:00,200
of Freedom, as you can figure 
out what the heck is going on. 

44
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,100
And that's the great lie of 
government and Central planning 

45
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:04,100
that they have some clue. 
So I'll give you a sort of an 

46
00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:07,900
example. 
Now, all societies prior to the 

47
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:11,200
modern West for the most part 
and there was a great Crusade of

48
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,900
the Empire was to eliminate 
slavery. 

49
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:17,000
So, all societies everywhere, 
throughout all time had dabbled 

50
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,200
in slavery, off, and on, and a 
lot of societies that had 

51
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,100
slavery continuously throughout 
their history, particularly the 

52
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:26,200
Middle East. 
So let's say you and I having a 

53
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,900
debate. 
I don't like 1820 or something 

54
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:29,300
like that. 
So we got you know, we had 

55
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:31,900
Ruffles and uncomfortable wigs 
and shit like that. 

56
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,600
So we're having a debate and you
say okay. 

57
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,600
Well if we get rid of slavery 
Who's going to pick the cotton, 

58
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,700
right? 
Who's going to, who's going to 

59
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:43,300
pick the food? 
Like, so you'll have to pay 

60
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:47,300
people who are now working for 
free and if you, but if you pay 

61
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:49,700
people, you have to jack up the 
price of your fruit and of your 

62
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:52,400
cotton, so to the point where 
four people won't be able to 

63
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,100
afford it and their staff to 
death. 

64
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,200
It seems reasonable and I say, 
hey man, I smoked some white 

65
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,000
powder last night and I had a 
vision. 

66
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,800
Let me tell you how and what my 
vision was my vision was that 

67
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,400
after we get rid of slaves after
we end slavery. 

68
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,000
There are going to be these 
giant metallic robots. 

69
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,800
That's right back and forth 
across the fields, and they're 

70
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,900
going to be powered by crushed 
prehistoric. 

71
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:24,300
Tree juice. 
You think there will be flat 

72
00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:28,400
roads of like, they don't change
in summer and winter flat, 

73
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,400
perfectly, even roads and giant 
wheeled machines also powered by

74
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,100
the same squished. 
Prehistoric tree juice, will go 

75
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:37,900
rocketing across at speeds. 
We can't even can fathom. 

76
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,300
While at the same time. 
There will be these giant flying

77
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,400
machines that are halfway to 
space, right? 

78
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,500
These giant exploding tubes of 
metal. 

79
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:49,700
Also oddly enough powered by the
same crushed prehistoric 

80
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:52,200
creatures. 
And they will fly all over the 

81
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,800
place and everything will be 
cheaper, over time and Bruce 

82
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,900
Jenner's, a chick night. 
I get like, what you think. 

83
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,200
So let's talk about 
anarcho-capitalism. 

84
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,300
All right, because I haven't 
done much on it. 

85
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,600
I think I've had one 
anarcho-capitalist, my friend, 

86
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,000
that guy t on YouTube who you 
should check out. 

87
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,500
If you don't know, I'm great guy
in Atlanta. 

88
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:16,399
What is anarcho-capitalism? 
So Enduro capitalism is the idea

89
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:19,399
that the so-called minimal 
functions of the state are 

90
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:21,399
actually. 
More than you really need. 

91
00:04:21,700 --> 00:04:27,200
And it's it is not only 
imaginable but it could, but it 

92
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,400
really could work to privatize, 
the last lingering functions, 

93
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,800
the government, like police 
courts and the law itself. 

94
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,200
Again, this is I need, it sounds
really crazy. 

95
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,800
So, the way that I usually like 
to explain it is well, right 

96
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,000
now, people may say, well, 
government clearly estimate of 

97
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,900
Monopoly over police Monopoly, 
over Clover courts, and Monopoly

98
00:04:42,900 --> 00:04:45,900
Over Law is a Government 
monopoly over these things right

99
00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:49,200
now, right now, there's actually
more private security guards and

100
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,300
police. 
So I was like, is that really? 

101
00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:53,800
That's true. 
So there, you know, there are 

102
00:04:53,900 --> 00:04:57,900
there are more people hired by 
business and communities to go 

103
00:04:57,900 --> 00:05:01,000
and do policing than there are 
police in the like, you know, in

104
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,500
the official sense and then 
you'll see no snow for courts. 

105
00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:06,600
There is a huge area of private 
adjudication. 

106
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,700
There's arbitration. 
There's any time you have a 

107
00:05:08,707 --> 00:05:10,800
problem with your credit card. 
Do you sue the company? 

108
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,100
This involve? 
No, you call the credit card 

109
00:05:12,100 --> 00:05:15,600
company and they have their own 
internal adjudication system for

110
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,900
handling things like this 
Facebook. 

111
00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:20,100
If you have problems on 
Facebook, do you go? 

112
00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:22,700
In Facebook, know you Gus, you 
go and you feel, and you can 

113
00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:25,000
play with them and they do 
something about it, and then 

114
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,100
you're not sure, they really do 
something about it, in the case 

115
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:29,900
of Facebook, but maybe well 
said, willing to let minimum, 

116
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:31,500
they give you a bunch of 
options, solve your own 

117
00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:32,900
problems. 
You can block someone, you can 

118
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:34,800
unfriend them. 
You can make sure they never 

119
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,100
contact you again. 
So, you know, they give you a 

120
00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:40,500
bunch of remedies that you have,
which they have worked out 

121
00:05:40,500 --> 00:05:42,300
exactly what it is. 
They want to do about it. 

122
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,200
Yeah, and then Co similarly, for
you for like, you know, law 

123
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,300
itself. 
There are many private 

124
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:49,500
organizations that have their 
own rules that they apply. 

125
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:53,000
So, you know, again, Mentioning 
the embryo private arbitration. 

126
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:55,700
One of the main reasons people 
use private arbitration is that 

127
00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:58,700
they don't use regular laws. 
They use their own laws which 

128
00:05:58,700 --> 00:06:01,000
are designed to work better than
the government's laws. 

129
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,700
So you can get your issue 
resolved in a few days instead 

130
00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:07,000
of weeks or years. 
So, you know, like usually with 

131
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:09,700
Pro with private arbitration, 
they have the arbitrator 

132
00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:11,200
actually be someone who knows 
what he's doing. 

133
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,600
So they have someone who is in 
fact, an expert on this area 

134
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,900
business CEOs, rather than 
giving it to a generalist and 12

135
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:20,600
people. 
Who were who were too, To get 

136
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,100
out of jury duty. 
Yeah, so just just sort of 

137
00:06:23,108 --> 00:06:24,100
beginning realizing. 
Wow. 

138
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:27,500
This is there's a lot of 
private, my private Alternatives

139
00:06:27,500 --> 00:06:30,500
that already exists right now. 
Yeah, 22. 

140
00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:32,300
Government providing these 
services. 

141
00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:34,800
That at first glance, a lot of 
people just have the reaction of

142
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,000
it with Justice Society would 
just burn in Flames. 

143
00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:40,500
If there were private police or 
private core private courts or 

144
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:43,600
private law look around. 
It's not burning now and there's

145
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,100
already a very large role for 
the private sector. 

146
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,900
Yeah. 
So and then what I think of when

147
00:06:47,900 --> 00:06:49,800
I think about enter go 
capitalism, I always just say, 

148
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,300
right, well, Let's start what we
got. 

149
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:54,000
You realize that that is not 
going to lead anything bad and 

150
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,300
there's very good reasons why 
people are using these private 

151
00:06:56,300 --> 00:06:58,400
Alternatives right now, which is
they're better. 

152
00:06:58,700 --> 00:07:01,800
They're worth the money. 
You get, you actually get, you 

153
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,700
get better quality for a four 
of, you know, not only for a 

154
00:07:04,700 --> 00:07:07,100
lower price. 
But remember, these are private 

155
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:09,700
companies competing with free 
government services and they're 

156
00:07:09,700 --> 00:07:12,000
still carving out a bigger 
Market Niche for themselves. 

157
00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:15,600
Because so many people are so 
dissatisfied with the services. 

158
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,100
They get provided free by the 
government and then just think 

159
00:07:18,100 --> 00:07:20,000
of it. 
I'm still afraid. 

160
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,900
Yeah, socialism, it's a great 
idea. 

161
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:23,900
If only it worked, it's not 
true. 

162
00:07:23,900 --> 00:07:26,100
It's an unbelievably morally 
shitty idea. 

163
00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:29,300
The reason is this the basic 
premise of socialism is I'm 

164
00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:30,300
here. 
I'm breathing it. 

165
00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:32,900
Give me crap. 
Right? 

166
00:07:32,900 --> 00:07:34,900
I have the, you have an 
obligation to care for me. 

167
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,500
I'm right to health care. 
I can force that doctor to go to

168
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:39,100
medical school. 
It's been two hundred thousand 

169
00:07:39,100 --> 00:07:42,100
dollars spent her entire life, 
learning medicine and then I can

170
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:44,500
walk into her house and forced 
her to provide me medicine, 

171
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:46,100
right? 
Capitalism by Nature. 

172
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:48,900
If the opposite capitalism is 
the idea that I will starve. 

173
00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:52,200
Unless I give you a good or 
service that you want, right? 

174
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,700
If I would give you something 
that you want. 

175
00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:56,700
I'm not going to eat tonight. 
It's forced altruism effective 

176
00:07:56,700 --> 00:07:59,100
way that we have to have afraid.
You have to come to some sort of

177
00:07:59,100 --> 00:08:00,500
consensus. 
I have to give you something 

178
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:02,900
cool and you have to give me 
something cool, right? 

179
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:06,200
It's great. 
And socialism is rape, and 

180
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,700
capitalism is consensual 
sacrifice. 

181
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:10,600
Why is it finishes? 
Very simple and objective with 

182
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:18,700
anyone who will enforce any idea
or previous by physical Force. 

183
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,100
You one who initiates the use of
force against another human 

184
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:26,700
being in that instant is acting 
like a dictator. 

185
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:30,300
And if you have Sable shoes that
as a political systems, and 

186
00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:35,000
there's a dictatorship, but I'm 
the arch enemy of physical 

187
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,200
Force. 
I'm for freedom of the mind and 

188
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,400
for being in people to your 
ideas by persuasion. 

189
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,400
When I first, could you bring 
your moral perceptions and 

190
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:52,900
principles to a meeting? 
In 1917 1920, 22 to assassinate 

191
00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:57,500
the Tsar one assassinate him. 
He fell, you know, of, by a 

192
00:08:57,500 --> 00:08:59,500
lobbyist. 
You don't know that you didn't 

193
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:01,500
know that at the time, your 
armchair quarterbacking. 

194
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:04,700
Now, I'm asking you in the 
Dietrich Bonhoeffer sense. 

195
00:09:04,900 --> 00:09:08,800
Could you plot to overthrow a 
person that you thought was 

196
00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:14,000
obviously in your mind, denying 
civil rights to other people out

197
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,500
against him. 
Certainly. 

198
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,600
I always said you, should you 
have the more All right, to 

199
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,100
retaliate was Force, if someone 
important Sports on you, so 

200
00:09:24,100 --> 00:09:28,500
you're for self-defense. 
Oh, yes, okay, but it's a 

201
00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:31,900
profound difference. 
But when the underground people 

202
00:09:31,900 --> 00:09:34,500
in Germany started meeting and 
saying let's knock off Hitler. 

203
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,700
That's morally acceptable. 
Totally. 

204
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:47,300
Just checking. 
This is so frustrating. 

205
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,000
No kissing. 
They did. 

206
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,900
There's one are that they throw 
in there, right? 

207
00:09:51,900 --> 00:09:53,600
So anarchism means without 
rulers. 

208
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,500
There's no centralized coercive 
Authority. 

209
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,300
And, and the reason one of the 
reasons why anarchism is so 

210
00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:03,100
appealing is not only is it 
intellectually consistent, but 

211
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:06,400
also, when you have a 
centralized pyramid of power in 

212
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,500
society, you have no rules. 
They change all the time. 

213
00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:12,300
That pollute me, just just look 
at what happened with with 

214
00:10:12,300 --> 00:10:14,600
spying on the Trump 
Administration and the lying 

215
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,200
about it. 
And these allegations, The FBI 

216
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,000
is changing records and can't 
fight like there's no rules. 

217
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,600
Look at the clintons. 
I mean, there's no. 

218
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,600
So when you get this, you don't 
get rules. 

219
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,800
You just get chaos and and 
bribery and panic, and 

220
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,000
manipulation and lies. 
And so that's, that's that's no 

221
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,500
rules. 
So anarchism simply says without

222
00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:35,100
rulers, no rulers, but everybody
takes that last are out says, 

223
00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:37,100
oh, that means no rules. 
And it's like, no, no. 

224
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:41,000
This we want rules right now. 
We have no rules in a free 

225
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,200
Society. 
The rules are negotiated that 

226
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,500
consistent there. 
The minimum necessary there, you

227
00:10:45,500 --> 00:10:47,000
know. 
Constantly being whittled away 

228
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,100
as new technology, arises and so
on. 

229
00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:52,900
And so this idea that Eric is 
the means without rules and 

230
00:10:52,900 --> 00:10:56,200
okay, some is the only way we 
ever get consistent objective 

231
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,200
and rational rules in society 
and never going to get it 

232
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,100
through the state. 
It's too subject to the power 

233
00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:05,500
principle. 
Um, volunteerism, I see here. 

234
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:09,500
I am assuming I'm talking mostly
to voluntariness volunteerism 

235
00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:13,700
is. 
Well, it can be with or without 

236
00:11:13,700 --> 00:11:18,000
the why it just means advocating
a society in which all human 

237
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,400
interaction is voluntary, 
instead of violent and that 

238
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,200
rules out government, because 
government is already always 

239
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,500
inherently violent. 
So volunteerism is just more 

240
00:11:28,500 --> 00:11:32,000
precise. 
And more specific version of 

241
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,600
what I believe more precise and 
specific than anarchism. 

242
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,700
Anarchism means no rulers. 
Technically you can be an 

243
00:11:38,700 --> 00:11:41,300
anarchist who runs around 
chopping people up with an axe. 

244
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:44,000
As long as you don't Advocate a 
ruling class. 

245
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,600
You can't be a voluntary as two 
runs around talking about 

246
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,700
chopping up people than x 
because that's not about 

247
00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:53,500
voluntary action, which is one 
reason that the term voluntarist

248
00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:57,300
is, is better, but it's also 
something nobody's ever heard of

249
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:06,800
Yeah, list of words. 
I had one of them at one point 

250
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,700
like a list of the terminology 
that that determined the 

251
00:12:10,708 --> 00:12:15,100
basically the the the Lexicon of
political mythology and what the

252
00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:17,500
terms really mean. 
Oh, there is that in the most 

253
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:19,800
dangerous Superstition, my book 
the most dangerous Superstition.

254
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,900
It goes through a bunch of the 
terms that statism relies on and

255
00:12:23,900 --> 00:12:27,700
then what they literally mean 
and how just the connotation of 

256
00:12:27,700 --> 00:12:32,600
those words, law crime, 
Authority law enforcer 

257
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,000
government. 
All the things that convey 

258
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,700
something other than a literal 
description of what it really is

259
00:12:38,700 --> 00:12:41,500
prison and there's a bunch of 
them. 

260
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,800
I don't have in front of me 
Port, the state nothing gets 

261
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,300
done. 
There's nothing different. 

262
00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:51,200
If you don't pay your taxes, you
will get thrown in jail, you 

263
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,100
will get in trouble and what 
happens if you resist, you get 

264
00:12:55,100 --> 00:12:56,200
thrown in jail. 
What happens? 

265
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,100
If you resist the people who 
come to throw you in jail, 

266
00:12:58,100 --> 00:12:59,800
probably shoot you. 
That's what I'm right here. 

267
00:13:00,500 --> 00:13:02,700
I mean, look I have I have a 
problem with the way government 

268
00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:03,900
raises almost. 
All right. 

269
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,700
Anu. 
I mean, I just, I reject the 

270
00:13:05,700 --> 00:13:10,800
whole system of like taxation at
the threat of violence, I think 

271
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,600
it's like primitive and 
barbaric, and when human beings,

272
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,100
look back on that, it's going to
be the way we look back at like 

273
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:18,800
slavery or arranged marriage or 
whatever it is. 

274
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,700
That the idea that the way we 
fund our organization, you know,

275
00:13:22,700 --> 00:13:25,400
like let's say there are these 
services that are necessary. 

276
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:28,600
So the way we fund that as we 
go, you have to pay a portion of

277
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,800
your income or will fucking 
throw you in jail. 

278
00:13:30,900 --> 00:13:32,800
Yeah. 
We'll put you in a cage, lock 

279
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,900
you in a cage, like an Animal, 
this is like that's the biggest 

280
00:13:35,900 --> 00:13:39,100
thing when I'm arguing that with
people about libertarianism 

281
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:41,700
verse other, you know, ways that
we should organize society. 

282
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,500
As my biggest thing that I just,
I harp on is just like, okay, 

283
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:49,700
who should we throw in a cage? 
Who is it, morally acceptable to

284
00:13:49,700 --> 00:13:52,700
throw into a cage forcefully? 
Like, send men with guns to get 

285
00:13:52,700 --> 00:13:55,800
them and throw them into a cage.
Like, I'll Grant you a murderer.

286
00:13:56,300 --> 00:13:59,000
Rapist. 
Someone who assault somebody. 

287
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Okay? 
Yeah, maybe we go into like 

288
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,100
theft here. 
Yeah, things like that because 

289
00:14:03,100 --> 00:14:04,900
that is a violation. 
Ation of, you know, you own 

290
00:14:04,900 --> 00:14:07,300
yourself and then you own your 
possession stuff. 

291
00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:10,200
That's a violation. 
But are you, are you really? 

292
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,100
Okay if someone's like, oh, I 
don't want to fund that program.

293
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,700
I won't like I won't send my 
money in to fund the war because

294
00:14:16,700 --> 00:14:18,500
I don't believe in the war. 
So now we can throw that guy in 

295
00:14:18,500 --> 00:14:19,600
a cage. 
Yeah. 

296
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:20,900
Well, I don't want to, I don't 
want to fund up. 

297
00:14:20,900 --> 00:14:24,200
Look, even if you have a really 
Noble charity, why should you be

298
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,100
able to threaten violence 
against someone to get them to 

299
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:28,500
fund it? 
Well, that's where I like Gary 

300
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:30,600
Johnson. 
He's Gary Johnson steps in and 

301
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,300
says, we don't need the IRS. 
It's like, let's listen. 

302
00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:36,600
We don't, Did that's not how we 
have to make money, which put 

303
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,600
taxes on consumption. 
I, I like Gary Johnson. 

304
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,700
I wish he would be a little more
Ron Paul, but he what way, I 

305
00:14:44,700 --> 00:14:48,200
just feel like Gary Johnson has 
this way of selling the 

306
00:14:48,700 --> 00:14:54,500
libertarianism as this kind of 
like, well, you know, it's more 

307
00:14:54,500 --> 00:14:57,900
practical if we do it the 
libertarian way, huh? 

308
00:14:57,900 --> 00:15:01,500
Whereas I like, you know, when 
he's asked about the wars, he'll

309
00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:06,200
say, he'll say things like It 
was, I think if you look on 

310
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,200
average, these military 
interventions have hurt more 

311
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,200
than they've helped. 
That is exactly how he sounds 

312
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,600
like a very good impression. 
Yeah, I've watched a lot of 

313
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,300
well, so my only, by the way, 
that's not necessarily 

314
00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:20,900
incorrect. 
It's just like, who, who would 

315
00:15:20,900 --> 00:15:24,200
talk about mass murder that way.
It's like, it's like talking 

316
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,400
about slavery and you're like, 
well, I just think overall, this

317
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:32,800
is an inefficient way to get 
cotton this dude like and your, 

318
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,600
your head. 
Abolitionists really, you're 

319
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,300
supposed to represent the 
Abolitionist Movement, right? 

320
00:15:38,300 --> 00:15:40,600
With that. 
That attitude. 

321
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,500
So he's like a moderate radical.
Yeah. 

322
00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:45,800
He's just a pragmatist, man. 
He's just like this. 

323
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,000
This makes more sense, which is 
just fine. 

324
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,900
Yeah, but I don't really want to
sell libertarianism is like, I 

325
00:15:50,900 --> 00:15:54,100
think we're fiscally 
conservative and socially 

326
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:57,800
liberal that he's like a, he's a
bridge because he was a lifelong

327
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,200
Republican. 
Like, he's a good bridge to 

328
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,100
getting people to consider an 
alternative party and maybe one 

329
00:16:03,100 --> 00:16:05,400
of the only one One's, it's 
currently available. 

330
00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:08,900
See I believe in a little bit 
more like a case for radicalism.

331
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:15,900
I think that so Ron Paul when he
was in the 2007-2008 debates. 

332
00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:19,300
She got a whole lot of people 
interested in libertarianism and

333
00:16:19,300 --> 00:16:22,600
he didn't do it by being like a 
bridge to like before I tell 

334
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,400
you, you know, slavery is 
horribly immoral. 

335
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,800
Let me first, convince you, it's
inefficient and ineffective and 

336
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,400
that he went right to like this 
is wrong. 

337
00:16:30,500 --> 00:16:32,000
This is wrong. 
We're killing people in 

338
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,500
countries around the world like 
this is We horrible and he got a

339
00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:37,200
movement going when he was in 
those debates. 

340
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,100
Gary Johnson was in one of the 
major debates in 2012. 

341
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:43,100
You remember anything from his 
performance? 

342
00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:46,300
You know, nobody ever does is no
nobody ever does, because he'll 

343
00:16:46,300 --> 00:16:48,900
go in there and, say things like
New Mexico. 

344
00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:52,800
I was able to balance the budget
without having seven percent. 

345
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:57,000
My God, you're the greatest, the
greatest political philosophy, 

346
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,000
ever devised by Man Behind You, 
libertarian. 

347
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,600
You have the answer to all this 
shit. 

348
00:17:01,700 --> 00:17:03,800
You're the abolitionists in 
slavery times. 

349
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,900
Yes, and my God, so you really 
feel libertarianism is the 

350
00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:09,800
answer to everything. 
Well, no. 

351
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,099
No, but it's not in the same way
that abolition isn't the answer 

352
00:17:13,099 --> 00:17:17,900
to everything during slavery. 
It's the first moral Step 2. 

353
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:21,599
Then we can live in. 
What about libertarianism is so 

354
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:25,200
attractive to you. 
I mean, I just the, I think it's

355
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:31,000
philosophically sound and it's, 
it's basically just to me it's a

356
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,900
humble understanding of what 
existence is. 

357
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:37,000
That we don't really know what 
this is man's kind of Born Into 

358
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,800
the world naked, and we're here 
with nature and we're all trying

359
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,400
to figure it out and that 
morally speaking, we should all 

360
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,200
own our own lives and therefore 
own your own body and that and 

361
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,400
basically it all centers around 
property rights and the 

362
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,900
non-aggression principle, which 
is the idea that you should 

363
00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:54,600
never initiate violence against 
a non-violent person. 

364
00:17:55,700 --> 00:17:57,500
And then you just draw 
conclusions from that. 

365
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:03,200
Well, those are all really 
standard, tell me something like

366
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,000
already. 
Going to end on like misery or 

367
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,700
hunger. 
Issue is going to end in an end 

368
00:18:07,700 --> 00:18:10,600
cap Society with those problems 
problems with salt. 

369
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,700
I don't know. 
Maybe, maybe not. 

370
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,600
Maybe, maybe not the very 
objective. 

371
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,400
I can't, I can't promise that 
because I'm not stupid as he 

372
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,400
can't. 
He can't predict the future. 

373
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,400
I say that it would be the best 
solution and sell those issues. 

374
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,600
But I don't know. 
You don't know if Communists 

375
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,400
will do that, either. 
You're just basing, that only 

376
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:37,100
guess that the objective of 
objective of Communism is to end

377
00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:39,200
those things. 
Yeah, it's the objective that 

378
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,600
the whole system to end all 
those things. 

379
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,200
Yeah, they could be run directly
for think they could be wrong. 

380
00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:48,800
You ejected ism is to stop 
initiating for some people. 

381
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,900
That's it. 
We don't make any promises about

382
00:18:50,900 --> 00:18:52,500
poverty. 
You guys do. 

383
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,000
What guarantee do I have that an
anarcho-capitalist Society with 

384
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,600
won't just tell me what you gave
me. 

385
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,200
Is that what you need? 
Is to make up your mind because 

386
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,800
there's no guarantees and 
communism either. 

387
00:19:05,300 --> 00:19:07,300
We want me to say some 
occupational licensing. 

388
00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:11,200
Restraint. 
Yeah, again, I think like, like,

389
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,100
with trade, we argue in two 
different levels. 

390
00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:17,800
One is the moral argument. 
I have a right to hire whomever.

391
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,600
I want and whatever wage. 
Wait, we agree on, it's my 

392
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,100
money. 
It's his life. 

393
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,500
If I agree to hire somebody for 
a dollar an hour and he agrees 

394
00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:28,800
to that. 
That's our right. 

395
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,000
No government's got the right to
interfere with us. 

396
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:33,500
And then there's the utilitarian
argument. 

397
00:19:33,500 --> 00:19:37,400
We everybody benefits when they 
enter into a trade when they 

398
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,000
voluntarily trade? 
Each other including wage 

399
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,300
transactions because otherwise 
they wouldn't enter into the 

400
00:19:43,300 --> 00:19:45,800
trade. 
And and somebody might argue. 

401
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,400
Well, wait a minute. 
What if he agrees to to work at 

402
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,300
a dollar an hour great. 
He's from his perspective. 

403
00:19:52,300 --> 00:19:54,400
He's better off than he was 
before. 

404
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,200
And somebody from the left might
say, well, that's ridiculous. 

405
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,300
That's not a subsistence wage, 
but it may be entirely. 

406
00:20:00,300 --> 00:20:03,200
Rational. 
For example, we have college 

407
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,600
interns that that were not for a
dollar an hour, but for free. 

408
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,000
And why are they doing that? 
That well, because they are 

409
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,400
gaining experience work. 
Ethic trade. 

410
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,900
I mean, learning the benefits of
arriving at work on time and 

411
00:20:17,900 --> 00:20:19,700
we're doing what we're doing 
here. 

412
00:20:19,700 --> 00:20:23,300
But let me say I agree that the 
ended at the end of the day, 

413
00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:27,700
it's not just it's not The 
Economic Consequences that 

414
00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:30,200
matter for me is the ethics of 
the matter. 

415
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,200
And I have a right to buy and 
sell peacefully to whomever I 

416
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,900
choose and to spend my money as 
I read and and so do you and I 

417
00:20:37,908 --> 00:20:39,300
have no right to interfere. 
That you have no right to 

418
00:20:39,308 --> 00:20:43,300
interfere with me. 
And if our government comes the 

419
00:20:43,300 --> 00:20:47,400
consent of the people who are 
governed and that means we are 

420
00:20:47,408 --> 00:20:51,700
responsible for what government 
does. 

421
00:20:52,100 --> 00:20:58,600
It's being done in our name and 
the question is if government 

422
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,800
has a monopoly on Force. 
Which I believe that's the 

423
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,100
definition of government. 
They have a monopoly on Force. 

424
00:21:06,900 --> 00:21:11,300
Everything government does is 
done at some level with the 

425
00:21:11,300 --> 00:21:15,700
threat of a gun behind it. 
Now, when I speak to groups that

426
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:20,700
aren't free market groups, have 
to spend a lot of time 

427
00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:22,800
explaining the government is 
violence. 

428
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,500
I'll skip over that whole 
section. 

429
00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:34,700
So the question comes down to 
and this is what changed me. 

430
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:42,300
The only things I can ask the 
government to do are the things 

431
00:21:42,300 --> 00:21:48,800
that I myself would do. 
If I had a gun and I knew 

432
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,800
Justice. 
And the questions become very, 

433
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:58,300
very simple to me that because 
the question would you use a gun

434
00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:04,000
to stop a murder? 
Well, you know, that's assuming 

435
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,000
I can tell that it's really a 
murder that's happening which 

436
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,500
I'm not sure I can. 
I've got sure I could tell that 

437
00:22:10,500 --> 00:22:15,200
from vigorous CPR. 
But assuming I know that and 

438
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,200
assuming I had a gun, which 
although I used in our show and 

439
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,200
do a big bit on the Second 
Amendment. 

440
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,600
Don't actually carry. 
But assuming I had a gun and 

441
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,900
assuming I'm not that. 
I warn't a coward which I am. 

442
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,500
I'm not the one up here. 
That's a decorated Marine 

443
00:22:32,500 --> 00:22:34,300
helicopter pilot. 
Remember? 

444
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:40,500
I'm the one who's Carny, trash. 
Would I use a gun to stop a 

445
00:22:40,508 --> 00:22:42,700
murder? 
Yes. 

446
00:22:44,300 --> 00:22:46,400
Would I use a gun to stop a 
rape? 

447
00:22:47,300 --> 00:22:49,300
Well, if I hadn't read about it,
Rolling Stone? 

448
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:58,000
Yes. 
Would I use a gun? 

449
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:13,000
To protect personal property. 
Yeah, I would would I use a gun?

450
00:23:14,700 --> 00:23:24,200
To build the library. 
I'm from a dead factory town in 

451
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:29,000
Western Massachusetts, a poor 
town Greenfield, Massachusetts, 

452
00:23:29,900 --> 00:23:38,700
and I'm wicked old 60 years old.
I grew up before the internet. 

453
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,800
And I went to a terrible 
terrible public school, but I've

454
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,500
been three times redundant 
there. 

455
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,600
Terrible. 
Terrible School. 

456
00:23:50,900 --> 00:23:56,400
I Didn't Know Jack, so I went to
the library all the time, the 

457
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,300
library, really, really mattered
to me. 

458
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,600
The libraries were first read, 
Kafka and Allen, Ginsberg, 

459
00:24:03,900 --> 00:24:08,900
because Frank Zappa told me to 
swear I first heard Stravinsky 

460
00:24:08,900 --> 00:24:13,800
and Perez for I first heard 
album, Barrack and stockhausen. 

461
00:24:15,300 --> 00:24:20,200
It's where I first learned about
magic and juggling and religion,

462
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:22,300
which for those of you, who 
remember the Dewey Decimal 

463
00:24:22,300 --> 00:24:31,400
System are all in the 900s. 
And man, I love that Library. 

464
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,300
I got on my bike and I rode 
there all the time. 

465
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:41,100
Frank Zappa said, skip the 
senior prom and go to the 

466
00:24:41,100 --> 00:24:46,300
library if you've got any guts. 
Precisely what I did. 

467
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:53,700
But what I use a gun to build 
the library, well, you know, I'd

468
00:24:53,700 --> 00:24:55,800
put up my money to build a 
library. 

469
00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:03,400
I have, I'd beg you to put up 
money for a library, but I point

470
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:08,100
a gun at someone and say, we're 
taking your tax money to build a

471
00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:09,700
library. 
Would I do that? 

472
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:17,400
No, I wouldn't. 
And that to me is right where we

473
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,600
go down the line. 
I love NASA. 

474
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,700
When Neil Armstrong walked on 
the moon, I cried so hard that 

475
00:25:24,700 --> 00:25:28,000
I'm still crying. 
Now, when I say Neil Armstrong 

476
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:35,100
walked on the moon. 
No, I wouldn't. 

477
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:40,100
That's got to be done privately.
And, you know, I like crazy 

478
00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:45,700
crazy art. 
I like art that I bet everybody 

479
00:25:45,700 --> 00:25:51,100
in this room hates. 
There was an artist named David 

480
00:25:51,100 --> 00:25:57,200
Warner rohit's who got his Nea 
grants pulled in the 80s to 

481
00:25:57,300 --> 00:26:02,300
because Nea grants pulled 
because his stuff was very 

482
00:26:02,300 --> 00:26:08,500
anti-catholic and very Pro gay 
and they pulled the Nea money 

483
00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:10,400
from him. 
He was one of my favorite 

484
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:15,600
artists and my reaction when he 
lost his Nea Grant. 

485
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,100
When I was living in New York at
the time, I went to his studio 

486
00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:24,800
and I bought a lot of his work 
because I figured he just lost 

487
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,800
his Grant needs money. 
Probably be cheap. 

488
00:26:29,300 --> 00:26:32,600
Would I use a gun for art? 
No, I wouldn't. 

489
00:26:33,100 --> 00:26:36,300
I'd get rid of the Nea because 
now we have Kickstarter 

490
00:26:36,500 --> 00:26:38,000
Indiegogo. 
We don't need it. 

491
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,700
They're more efficient. 
They're more honest. 

492
00:26:39,700 --> 00:26:42,500
And they don't use Force. 
They don't use guns. 

493
00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:53,200
We do not use guns. 
I don't care how unpopular this 

494
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,100
is. 
I listen to NPR. 

495
00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:59,000
I like Terry Gross. 
I like all that stuff a lot. 

496
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,500
But man, the fact that it's done
at gunpoint, makes me sick. 

497
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:09,200
And I don't care if it's only 2%
or 1% guns, do not belong at 

498
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,700
Art. 
And when Penn & Teller were 

499
00:27:11,700 --> 00:27:16,900
asked to play a series of the 
show series in a theater that 

500
00:27:16,900 --> 00:27:21,700
was all done with Nea grants. 
We wouldn't do it because Our 

501
00:27:21,700 --> 00:27:32,100
show is too goddamn good. 
And if I need to point a gun at 

502
00:27:32,100 --> 00:27:36,500
you, to get you to come to my 
show, I need to find a different

503
00:27:36,500 --> 00:27:43,100
job. 
So that's how I became a 

504
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:47,900
Libertarian and I became a 
Libertarian nut. 

505
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:56,700
And I go on TV and I say things 
that are very, very unpopular. 

506
00:27:58,300 --> 00:28:03,700
like I say, That I'm against gay
marriage before anyone applauds 

507
00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:07,900
it that I follow that with, I'm 
against straight marriage. 

508
00:28:11,700 --> 00:28:17,200
I don't know why the government 
gets involved in my love life. 

509
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:29,300
I love my wife and my children 
more than anything in the world.

510
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:34,500
And the fact that the government
got involved in that, doesn't 

511
00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:39,800
make it more sacred. 
It makes it obscene. 

512
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,800
And the only reason we're 
married is because I could not 

513
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:49,100
find a lawyer in Nevada, who 
would promise me. 

514
00:28:50,100 --> 00:28:55,600
But if we signed a contract and 
dotted all our eyes and crossed 

515
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,800
all our T's and spent a metric 
shit-ton of money. 

516
00:29:00,700 --> 00:29:05,200
They could guarantee that if 
something happened to my wife, I

517
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,100
would get custody of our 
children if her family went 

518
00:29:09,100 --> 00:29:12,800
crazy. 
And it wasn't clear that I could

519
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,700
visit her in the hospital. 
So yes, I am against gay 

520
00:29:17,700 --> 00:29:22,300
marriage and straight marriage, 
but until we can get rid of that

521
00:29:22,300 --> 00:29:24,700
and get the government out of 
that stuff. 

522
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:28,200
We got to allow freedom for all 
people. 

523
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,600
And the people that I fight for 
the most the people that argue 

524
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:36,500
for them or most are the 
Westboro Baptist Church because 

525
00:29:36,500 --> 00:29:41,500
they are nuts on the other side.
And if I have any doubt, About 

526
00:29:41,500 --> 00:29:43,400
their right to say what they 
want to say. 

527
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:49,100
All I am doing, is shutting 
myself up and those of us who 

528
00:29:49,100 --> 00:29:52,700
are atheists and are people that
don't have faith. 

529
00:29:52,700 --> 00:29:57,900
We are fighting fighting 
fighting for the rights of 

530
00:29:57,900 --> 00:30:03,000
people who want to have faith 
for people who want to believe 

531
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,900
because that is what Liberty is 
about. 

532
00:30:06,900 --> 00:30:11,400
I have a very simple definition 
of Liberty. 

533
00:30:12,900 --> 00:30:18,300
Liberty is the freedom to be 
stupid. 

534
00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:26,700
No one. 
No one needs freedom to do. 

535
00:30:26,700 --> 00:30:31,400
The smart thing. 
We need freedom to be stupid. 

536
00:30:32,100 --> 00:30:37,800
I have never had a drink of 
alcohol or recreational drug in 

537
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,300
my life right now. 
That means I'm banned from, 

538
00:30:41,300 --> 00:30:45,800
Colorado. 
I did not not inhale. 

539
00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:47,500
I said get that joint away from 
me. 

540
00:30:47,500 --> 00:30:51,700
You stupid hippie. 
I was so afraid that if I had 

541
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:54,600
One Toke of marijuana, I would 
want to listen to the Grateful 

542
00:30:54,600 --> 00:31:03,600
Dead, and I couldn't bear that I
was so afraid that if I had a 

543
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,700
drink of alcohol, I would listen
to Garth Brooks. 

544
00:31:08,100 --> 00:31:12,600
So I stayed away from all that 
stuff, but I will not tell you 

545
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,300
right now. 
I cannot tell you that. 

546
00:31:16,300 --> 00:31:23,900
I think my life has had better 
choices than Jim Morrison. 

547
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:28,400
Who died at 28 in the doors. 
I don't know. 

548
00:31:28,900 --> 00:31:34,700
That it's better to live a life.
As long as I have so far, 

549
00:31:35,100 --> 00:31:38,800
totally sober. 
But it is to do heroin and died.

550
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,600
Really young. 
I don't know what's best for 

551
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:47,500
other people and I want other 
people to have the right to be 

552
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,600
stupid. 
I want to fight for that freedom

553
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:57,100
and I stand here before you now 
knowing that many of you do not 

554
00:31:57,100 --> 00:32:02,100
agree with me to beg you as you 
grow in power. 

555
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:05,700
And is, John and all the other 
wonderful people here tonight. 

556
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,800
Help you get Your point across, 
please. 

557
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:15,400
Remember that there are nuts and
whack jobs and creeps and freaks

558
00:32:15,700 --> 00:32:21,400
who disagree with you, but need 
you more than anything to fight 

559
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,700
for the right to be stupid and 
crazy. 

560
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,800
Thank you so much for letting us
cheap Carny trash come here. 

561
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:30,400
Thanks so much. 
Peace. 

562
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,300
When you hear the word 
libertarian, you think we'll 

563
00:32:34,300 --> 00:32:37,500
gosh Libertarians they want 
Nothing goes right? 

564
00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:38,900
No rules. 
No laws. 

565
00:32:38,900 --> 00:32:41,900
You can do whatever you want and
it's not exactly what we 

566
00:32:41,900 --> 00:32:45,000
Advocate Libertarians do, 
Advocate, Freedom Liberty. 

567
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,100
We Advocate government ought to 
leave you alone and that you 

568
00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:49,900
ought to get to make choices on 
your own. 

569
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,000
But would that mean lawlessness?
Would that mean no rules. 

570
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,000
Anything goes we even 
Libertarians believe in some 

571
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,000
sort of rules. 
And so one of the rules that 

572
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,600
Libertarians believe in 
something called the 

573
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,500
non-aggression principle. 
The non-aggression principle 

574
00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:07,000
means that under a libertarian. 
In society. 

575
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,400
If we had one, you pretty much 
could do whatever you wanted as 

576
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:10,800
long as you didn't hurt somebody
else. 

577
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,500
So as long as you didn't invade 
their sphere, of their rights, 

578
00:33:13,500 --> 00:33:15,100
you could kind of do what you 
wanted. 

579
00:33:15,500 --> 00:33:18,200
And you say well gosh, then 
there still would be all kinds 

580
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,100
of crazy things. 
Everybody be doing heroin or be 

581
00:33:21,100 --> 00:33:25,300
prostitution to be all these 
things and really many of us who

582
00:33:25,300 --> 00:33:28,200
are Christian and libertarian 
believe that not only would you 

583
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,300
be restrained by government from
doing things that would harm 

584
00:33:31,300 --> 00:33:35,200
somebody else but that, a 
Libertarian Society or even a 

585
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,200
republic as We were intended to 
be, would have some kind of 

586
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,400
restraint, and some people have 
described it as virtue, 

587
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,800
Washington, describe the 
beginning of the Republican. 

588
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,900
He said it would be necessary 
for our country to succeed to 

589
00:33:48,900 --> 00:33:51,300
have virtue. 
So you'd have the idea that the 

590
00:33:51,308 --> 00:33:54,100
government would restrain you 
from harming other individuals, 

591
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,300
but there has to be something 
that also guides us that keeps 

592
00:33:58,300 --> 00:34:02,300
us on the straight and narrow 
allows us to cooperate as a 

593
00:34:02,300 --> 00:34:05,400
civilized society allows us to 
be an advanced Society. 

594
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,699
Most of us don't. 
Steal, most of us, don't rape 

595
00:34:08,699 --> 00:34:11,100
murder, do all these horrific 
things, not because there's a 

596
00:34:11,100 --> 00:34:13,900
law against it. 
But because we have a sense of, 

597
00:34:13,900 --> 00:34:14,800
right? 
And wrong. 

598
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,500
We have a moral compass. 
We have something grounded in 

599
00:34:17,500 --> 00:34:19,900
religion. 
We have this this sense of 

600
00:34:19,900 --> 00:34:28,199
virtue. 
No, so you capitalism simply 

601
00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:31,000
says you can't initiate the use 
of force and your property 

602
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,600
rights should be respected. 
That's all it says. 

603
00:34:33,500 --> 00:34:37,800
It's not a system if the absence
of assistant, it's not a system.

604
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,500
If the absence of a system it 
says do not initiate Force. 

605
00:34:41,699 --> 00:34:43,800
Well, I guess you know, you can 
say three but the two of them 

606
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,600
sites in gotta keep it 
contracts. 

607
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,500
Don't initiate Force, respect 
property. 

608
00:34:49,500 --> 00:34:51,800
Which is the basis of civil law 
of criminal law. 

609
00:34:52,500 --> 00:34:54,199
Well, hi everybody. 
I'm Bill Whittle and welcome to 

610
00:34:54,199 --> 00:34:57,700
the firewall, you know, I think 
that the fundamental divide 

611
00:34:57,700 --> 00:35:01,800
between liberal and conservative
philosophy and policy comes down

612
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,900
to how people feel about wealth.
Not money. 

613
00:35:05,100 --> 00:35:06,400
Money is just a unit of 
exchange. 

614
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,800
I'm talking about wealth having 
more than you need to survive. 

615
00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:12,000
Now. 
It seems that most modern 

616
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,500
liberals believe that wealth is 
essentially limited. 

617
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,500
They see the multi-millionaire 
with the Learjet, the big car 

618
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:19,500
and the three or four big houses
as of One. 

619
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,000
Because if wealth is more or 
less fixed if there's a giant 

620
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,300
but limited pot of money out 
there somewhere, then the fact 

621
00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:30,100
that he has more means that 
someone else has less, his 

622
00:35:30,100 --> 00:35:34,000
wealth has to be the result of 
stealing from the poor but we 

623
00:35:34,008 --> 00:35:36,100
conservative see. 
Well, very differently. 

624
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,800
We believe that wealth can be 
created from thin air that 

625
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,300
people can through, creativity, 
invention and hard work, 

626
00:35:43,300 --> 00:35:47,700
physically, create new wealth, 
essentially, out of nothing for 

627
00:35:47,700 --> 00:35:49,700
us. 
The rich man with a Car, the 

628
00:35:49,700 --> 00:35:52,000
houses and the Learjet is not a 
Villain at all. 

629
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,600
On the contrary. 
He's a hero. 

630
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,100
Not a good man necessarily that 
depends on the individual. 

631
00:35:57,100 --> 00:36:01,000
But his personal wealth is just 
a small percentage of the much 

632
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,000
larger wealth that he has 
produced, which translates 

633
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,300
directly into hundreds or 
thousands or tens of thousands 

634
00:36:07,500 --> 00:36:10,800
of new jobs and valuable 
products or services that 

635
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:15,100
wouldn't exist. 
Otherwise, now, back in 1862 

636
00:36:15,100 --> 00:36:19,000
during the Civil War, the US 
federal budget was about 530. 

637
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:23,800
Million dollars in 2010. 
That number was three point five

638
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,800
five trillion. 
That's three thousand five 

639
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,700
hundred and fifty billion 
dollars, that's about seven 

640
00:36:29,700 --> 00:36:33,900
thousand times more now. 
Does that mean in very general 

641
00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:35,900
terms? 
Just as a milestone that there 

642
00:36:35,900 --> 00:36:39,800
is 7,000 times as much wealth in
America today as there was back 

643
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,800
in 1862. 
It absolutely means that the 

644
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,700
population of America today is 
only about 10 times what it was 

645
00:36:46,700 --> 00:36:52,200
then, but the country is 
unimaginably, wealthier in 1862 

646
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,600
the city that I live in Los 
Angeles looked like this. 

647
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,900
This was downtown, Los Angeles, 
right around the time that the 

648
00:36:58,908 --> 00:37:01,200
u.s. 
Federal budget was 500 million 

649
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,400
dollars today, whilst Angeles 
looks like this. 

650
00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:07,600
Wealth is limited. 
Where did all this stuff? 

651
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,400
Come from? 
All of the shops? 

652
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,600
The restaurants, the 7-Elevens, 
and the endless rows of houses 

653
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,800
each, with automobiles air 
conditioning, widescreen TVs, 

654
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,600
Xbox 360s, and all the rest. 
Where did the money? 

655
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:24,100
The excess wealth come from to 
turn Los Angeles from a couple 

656
00:37:24,100 --> 00:37:28,500
of Huts into this. 
Oh, by the way, this is a place 

657
00:37:28,500 --> 00:37:30,800
where the poorest people have 
things that the richest people 

658
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:35,000
in 1862 never had or could have 
dreamed of fine things like The 

659
00:37:35,008 --> 00:37:39,100
biotics electricity cell phones 
and a thousand other common 

660
00:37:39,100 --> 00:37:42,700
everyday Miracles. 
Where did all of this 

661
00:37:42,700 --> 00:37:46,300
spectacular increase in wealth? 
Come from what caused it? 

662
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,400
Well, it was three things. 
Let's say that one day, you sat 

663
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,000
down with a pen and paper and 
you wrote a hit song or maybe 

664
00:37:53,100 --> 00:37:55,400
you're an architect and you're 
Drew floor plans for a new 

665
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,500
office building. 
Or maybe you patented the light 

666
00:37:57,500 --> 00:37:59,500
bulb or the transistor or any of
the rest. 

667
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,300
You created something in your 
head that wasn't there before 

668
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:06,100
something that had value. 
Which simply means that other 

669
00:38:06,100 --> 00:38:08,400
people wanted it. 
And we're ready to turn over 

670
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,300
some of their extra money. 
Their extra work tokens in 

671
00:38:11,300 --> 00:38:14,700
exchange for it. 
You see this. 

672
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,300
This is an iPhone. 
This iPhone costs more than an 

673
00:38:19,300 --> 00:38:21,700
abacus, because it does 
everything that an abacus could 

674
00:38:21,700 --> 00:38:24,200
do a thousand times more quickly
and easily. 

675
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,400
And it does a bunch of really 
cool stuff that an abacus can 

676
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,900
never do. 
We're now able to produce and 

677
00:38:31,900 --> 00:38:35,300
own things like iPhones because 
thousands actually, it's 

678
00:38:35,300 --> 00:38:39,900
probably millions of individual.
People had the mental creativity

679
00:38:40,100 --> 00:38:44,000
to make each one of the 
Technologies and components that

680
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,000
lets the iPhone do what it does,
the raw materials, the plastic, 

681
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000
and the metal. 
That goes into making this 

682
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:53,000
iPhone cost just a few pennies, 
but the idea, the essence of 

683
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,000
this iPhone is worth much much 
more. 

684
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,700
But what about work? 
That doesn't involve any 

685
00:38:59,700 --> 00:39:01,600
creativity or inventiveness at 
all? 

686
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,300
Does that actually create 
wealth? 

687
00:39:04,100 --> 00:39:06,500
Yes, it does. 
You know, I was an office temp 

688
00:39:06,500 --> 00:39:10,100
when I first got to LA and one 
day I was led way in the back, 

689
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,500
past the cubicles to a desk 
facing, a cinder block wall and 

690
00:39:13,500 --> 00:39:17,600
there I had to take one massive 
printout of customer names and 

691
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,000
compare them to an identical, 
massive print out of cheques 

692
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,100
issued and to mark them off one 
by one to confirm that. 

693
00:39:24,100 --> 00:39:26,600
These people had gotten those 
checks. 

694
00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:30,200
What did I done, that was worth 
my 750 an hour? 

695
00:39:30,500 --> 00:39:33,600
Well, I'd make that insurance 
company just a little bit 

696
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,500
wealthier by confirming. 
Those check mailings. 

697
00:39:36,500 --> 00:39:39,100
I was reducing loss of 
customers, due to frustration 

698
00:39:39,100 --> 00:39:40,900
and error. 
I was reducing the amount of 

699
00:39:40,900 --> 00:39:44,300
time that higher level more 
valuable employees need to spend

700
00:39:44,300 --> 00:39:47,500
on doing the damage caused by 
unsent checks and all the rest. 

701
00:39:47,900 --> 00:39:51,700
What I had done was, I had added
just a little to the complexity 

702
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,500
of the entire world. 
And therefore, I added a little 

703
00:39:54,500 --> 00:39:57,100
bit of value because in this is 
important. 

704
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,900
Across checked and confirmed 
list was more valuable than one 

705
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,600
that wasn't and of course they 
made me just a little bit wealth

706
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,900
here, too. 
But even these powerful elements

707
00:40:08,900 --> 00:40:12,700
of creativity and complexity 
Fade to insignificance compared 

708
00:40:12,700 --> 00:40:14,900
to the real engine of wealth 
creation. 

709
00:40:15,500 --> 00:40:17,800
Let's say you're a member of a 
hunting tribe up in the 

710
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,300
mountains. 
Your tribe is great at making 

711
00:40:20,300 --> 00:40:22,400
Spears. 
They're solid, they're straight 

712
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,500
and they've got a strong Flint 
spearhead, but you don't get to 

713
00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:27,700
do much Gathering. 
So your baskets look like old 

714
00:40:27,700 --> 00:40:30,500
birds nests. 
Now meanwhile down in the valley

715
00:40:30,500 --> 00:40:33,500
is a gatherer tribe, their 
baskets are woven tight enough 

716
00:40:33,500 --> 00:40:37,900
to hold water, but their Spears 
are a little better than Sticks.

717
00:40:38,500 --> 00:40:41,800
Now one day a guy from the 
hunter tribe meets a guy from 

718
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,500
The Gatherer tribe and together.
They agreed to trade. 

719
00:40:44,500 --> 00:40:46,400
One of the hunters. 
Excellent Spears. 

720
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,100
For one of the gatherers 
top-notch baskets. 

721
00:40:49,500 --> 00:40:52,200
They both go home. 
And the question now is which 

722
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:56,700
one of them is wealthier. 
They both are and that's the 

723
00:40:56,700 --> 00:40:59,200
miracle. 
They both are returning with 

724
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,100
things that they and their tribe
prize more highly than what they

725
00:41:02,100 --> 00:41:05,400
gave away, simply because they 
are harder to obtain their 

726
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,000
rarer. 
But that's just the beginning. 

727
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,700
You see the experts spear maker,
then realizes that if he gets up

728
00:41:11,700 --> 00:41:15,300
early and stays up late, he can 
make more Spears than he needs 

729
00:41:15,300 --> 00:41:18,500
for just himself and he can 
trade that extra work for 

730
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:20,700
something. 
He considers valuable a basket. 

731
00:41:20,700 --> 00:41:25,000
Let's say it motivates him to do
more than he needs the exact. 

732
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,200
Same thing is true of the basket
Weaver and pretty soon. 

733
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,000
Both of them are employing. 
They're idiots sons-in-laws 

734
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,700
manufacturing Spears and 
baskets. 

735
00:41:33,900 --> 00:41:37,300
Yes, the guy making and trading 
the Spears gets relatively rich,

736
00:41:37,300 --> 00:41:40,300
but the fact is everybody wins 
the idiot. 

737
00:41:40,300 --> 00:41:43,500
Sudden law the guys making the 
Flint spearheads the entire 

738
00:41:43,500 --> 00:41:46,200
Hunter tribe gets the kind of 
baskets that they would never 

739
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,500
have had otherwise and likewise 
for the gatherers with their 

740
00:41:49,500 --> 00:41:53,700
awesome new Spears. 
Now, for our Progressive 

741
00:41:53,700 --> 00:41:55,800
friends, who feel that all 
wealth has To be stolen. 

742
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,200
Yes, the guys with the spears 
could go out and kill all the 

743
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:03,700
gatherers and take all the 
baskets and then there'd be no 

744
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,000
more. 
Baskets. 

745
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,500
Free trade is non-coercive. 
Both parties. 

746
00:42:08,500 --> 00:42:12,300
Only get wealthier when both 
parties willingly trade what 

747
00:42:12,300 --> 00:42:18,200
they have for what they want. 
Now in a similar vein, some say 

748
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,200
that America is Rich because it 
stole all of its wealth from the

749
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,400
third world. 
Well, let's blow this silliness 

750
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,000
away, just real quick. 
U.s. 

751
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,400
DP is about 14 trillion dollars 
the GDP of a third world country

752
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,900
Djibouti. 
Let's say is about a billion 

753
00:42:31,900 --> 00:42:34,700
dollars. 
Now, America has 400 times as 

754
00:42:34,700 --> 00:42:37,500
many people as Djibouti, but 
Americans don't just produce. 

755
00:42:37,500 --> 00:42:42,500
400 times what your booty 
produces we produce 14,000 times

756
00:42:42,500 --> 00:42:46,200
as much as they do. 
If we sent in the US Marines to 

757
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,600
take every single thing 
Djibouti, produced in one year, 

758
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,200
just took every single thing 
their entire GDP. 

759
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,000
Well, that would power the US 
economy. 4:30. 

760
00:42:55,100 --> 00:42:58,800
Eight minutes of the first hour 
of the first day of America's 

761
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,700
GDP year, if we took everything 
from the bottom forty countries,

762
00:43:02,900 --> 00:43:05,700
it might run the US economy for 
a day or two. 

763
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,600
The whole idea is ridiculous, at
least two people who know how to

764
00:43:09,700 --> 00:43:12,000
add subtract multiply and 
divide. 

765
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,200
My friends. 
Whenever two parties make a 

766
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:19,200
free-will trade spices for wool 
or grain for firewood or even 

767
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,800
three dollars and fifty cents 
for a Happy Meal, both sides 

768
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,200
benefit because the customer 
would rather have the hamburger 

769
00:43:26,300 --> 00:43:28,600
and McDonald's would rather have
the 350. 

770
00:43:29,100 --> 00:43:30,500
Now. 
You're welcome to disagree with 

771
00:43:30,500 --> 00:43:31,200
me. 
Of course. 

772
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,900
You can email me a comment on 
why you hate business and 

773
00:43:33,900 --> 00:43:36,600
corporations using your Apple 
computer while you sit at 

774
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,200
Starbucks and send messages down
AT&T phone lines to YouTube's 

775
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,800
servers running Hitachi, hard 
drives, all of which. 

776
00:43:42,900 --> 00:43:44,700
Powered by something like 
Consolidated. 

777
00:43:44,700 --> 00:43:47,900
Edison most likely generating 
electricity by burning oil 

778
00:43:47,900 --> 00:43:51,800
provided by ExxonMobil. 
Now, if you want to hand deliver

779
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,100
a message scratched on a tree 
bark, using a sharp stick, while

780
00:43:55,100 --> 00:43:58,100
wearing a grass skirt. 
I will be much much more 

781
00:43:58,100 --> 00:44:00,000
impressed with your moral 
outrage. 

782
00:44:01,500 --> 00:44:05,700
Creativity complexity and free 
trade make people wealthy. 

783
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,000
We conservatives believe that 
this is the great miracle of a 

784
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,500
free country and a free people. 
And that the government is not 

785
00:44:12,500 --> 00:44:16,000
capable of doing any of this, 
all that, the government can do 

786
00:44:16,300 --> 00:44:18,800
is regulate constrict and take 
away. 

787
00:44:18,900 --> 00:44:22,600
Now, some regulations are good 
and appropriate and some tax 

788
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,500
dollars are necessary. 
But every time we put the 

789
00:44:26,500 --> 00:44:30,400
miracle of wealth creation, in 
back of rather than in front of 

790
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,200
the government, Ruin will surely
follow. 

791
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,000
And that's the way things are 
heading. 

792
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:36,900
So that's why we have a tea 
party. 

793
00:44:37,900 --> 00:44:40,400
And to keep these messages 
coming, go to the Declaration 

794
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,500
entertainment.com, and become a 
citizen producer. 

795
00:44:42,500 --> 00:44:44,200
Just like the rest of the Kids 
on the Block. 

796
00:44:44,500 --> 00:44:47,200
I'm Bill Whittle, we'll see you 
next time on the firewall, 

797
00:44:48,100 --> 00:44:50,700
you're dealing with government. 
You're dealing with the most 

798
00:44:50,700 --> 00:44:54,400
dangerous Monopoly, that has 
ever existed in history and the 

799
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:58,500
other is, and I'll begin with 
the other, the morality of 

800
00:44:58,500 --> 00:45:02,600
Taxation. 
It's a Very difficult moral 

801
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,600
subject. 
And that's always been my 

802
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:11,100
preoccupation moral subjects. 
Think about it for a moment, you

803
00:45:11,100 --> 00:45:14,700
earn money honorably and 
legally, you work very hard for 

804
00:45:14,700 --> 00:45:18,000
it. 
And then people tell you, you 

805
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:24,400
will give half of it away. 
And if you don't, we will arrest

806
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:28,000
you, we will take you to, we 
will send police. 

807
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,500
They will physically remove you 
from your home and you will go 

808
00:45:31,500 --> 00:45:33,700
to prison. 
Now. 

809
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:39,700
Under any circumstance other 
than the word tax, you would 

810
00:45:39,700 --> 00:45:45,800
consider that to be immoral. 
You would consider that to be in

811
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:52,800
fact, robbery thievery. 
Give me half your money or I 

812
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:59,100
will kidnap you. 
That's exactly what taxation is.

813
00:46:00,900 --> 00:46:06,300
I win that bracket because of 
the combination of federal taxes

814
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:10,600
and California, which I think is
the highest of the country taxes

815
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:16,400
as well. 
And people don't think that way.

816
00:46:18,900 --> 00:46:24,900
so, for those who say, well, 
It's not, it's not, it's not 

817
00:46:24,900 --> 00:46:27,700
thievery, because people voted 
in a democracy. 

818
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:33,700
People voted to tax you. 
So, I don't quite understand. 

819
00:46:33,700 --> 00:46:39,800
If people vote to rob me. 
Why is that less robbery that if

820
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,700
they don't vote to rob me, 
especially considering that half

821
00:46:43,700 --> 00:46:46,100
the people voting to take that 
money from me. 

822
00:46:47,500 --> 00:46:51,100
Don't pay anything or don't pay 
any federal income tax to be 

823
00:46:51,100 --> 00:46:56,300
very precise. 27 from the most 
dangerous Superstition by Larkin

824
00:46:56,300 --> 00:46:59,800
Rose. 
If human beings are so careless,

825
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,800
stupid and malicious. 
That they cannot be trusted to 

826
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,100
do the right thing on their own.
How would the situation be 

827
00:47:06,100 --> 00:47:09,100
improved by taking a subset of 
those? 

828
00:47:09,100 --> 00:47:12,900
Very same careless, stupid and 
malicious human beings and 

829
00:47:12,900 --> 00:47:16,600
giving them societal permission 
to forcibly control. 

830
00:47:16,700 --> 00:47:19,500
All the others Shadyside. 
Exactly. 

831
00:47:19,500 --> 00:47:20,800
Right? 
But me, I don't look at Bill 

832
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,900
Gates and think that he's an 
Real person. 

833
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,300
I mean, I actually agree with 
the objectivist when they say, 

834
00:47:25,300 --> 00:47:27,800
well isn't he a good person so 
well, yeah, he's made my life 

835
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,400
infinitely richer by giving me a
an operating system that gives 

836
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,700
me easy access to almost all of 
the information. 

837
00:47:33,700 --> 00:47:34,700
I want. 
I can do anything. 

838
00:47:34,700 --> 00:47:37,600
I want, I believe video games. 
I can watch movies that he's 

839
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,100
made, my life better, and what 
to do, what to do. 

840
00:47:40,100 --> 00:47:41,800
He charged me for his work. 
Okay. 

841
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,700
I paid happily, you know, 
there's there's nothing immoral 

842
00:47:44,700 --> 00:47:46,800
about this this and another 
thing, as well. 

843
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:50,400
Just the constant assaults on 
capitalism, a driving me nuts 

844
00:47:50,700 --> 00:47:53,500
because I'm currently reading. 
Enlightenment Now by Steven 

845
00:47:53,500 --> 00:47:55,800
Pinker. 
And if you guys aren't sure 

846
00:47:55,800 --> 00:48:00,800
about capitalism read that book,
it is is just a wallop. 

847
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,100
It's only stole their Thunder 
just real briefly because the 

848
00:48:04,100 --> 00:48:07,600
reduction in World poverty over 
the last 50 years as the result 

849
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,400
of free trade and free markets 
has dwarfed anything that the 

850
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,800
Socialist has ever been able to 
achieve the Socialist have this 

851
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,600
program called take money from 
the rich and give it to the 

852
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,200
poor. 
Take money from the able and 

853
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,500
give it to the less able or 
however you want to phrase it 

854
00:48:19,700 --> 00:48:21,800
and that is generally driven 
entire societies. 

855
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,700
If not see. 
Violations in to penury. 

856
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,600
But the idea of open up free 
markets, open up trade and how 

857
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:32,600
much like in in China and India 
alone in India. 50,000 people a 

858
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,400
month, are moving into the 
middle class. 

859
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:38,400
It has been the biggest single 
reduction of poverty even since 

860
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,400
the 1990s just a couple of 
decades, you know, his and this 

861
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,700
should never have happened under
capitalism and it should have 

862
00:48:43,700 --> 00:48:46,400
flourished under socialism. 
And now that the empirical 

863
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,700
evidence is going against 
everything they stand for 

864
00:48:48,700 --> 00:48:50,600
everything, they claim they 
wanted. 

865
00:48:50,700 --> 00:48:53,300
We actually find out how much 
they Really wanted it because if

866
00:48:53,300 --> 00:48:56,000
they say well we want the poor 
to become wealthier. 

867
00:48:56,100 --> 00:48:58,600
If that's the real goal. 
They should be saying, I'm 

868
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,500
setting fire to Capital and I'm 
going to praise Adam Smith, but 

869
00:49:01,500 --> 00:49:03,700
they don't do that. 
So I really question whether 

870
00:49:03,700 --> 00:49:07,400
they do really want to help the 
poor are using the poor as guilt

871
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,900
clubs to beat down and take 
power over others. 

872
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,500
It's got to be that because 
they, I mean, you would have to 

873
00:49:13,500 --> 00:49:17,400
be a Madman to suggest socialism
to try and get people out of 

874
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,700
poverty. 
I mean, where is that ever 

875
00:49:19,700 --> 00:49:20,900
happened? 
What I mean? 

876
00:49:20,900 --> 00:49:23,800
We have a live. 
Action experiment while I 

877
00:49:23,808 --> 00:49:27,000
wouldn't say experiment curse in
Venezuela right now. 

878
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,800
I recently did again like a 40 
minute video but you know, which

879
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,400
hundreds of thousands of people 
watched just going through the 

880
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,500
events of 2017 and watching the 
socialist government of 

881
00:49:36,508 --> 00:49:40,100
Venezuela implements socialism 
in Venezuela, and it's just 

882
00:49:40,100 --> 00:49:42,900
crushing the country. 
The country with the biggest oil

883
00:49:42,900 --> 00:49:46,300
reserves in the world. 
There should be no reason he. 

884
00:49:46,700 --> 00:49:47,900
It's insane. 
I mean it 

885
00:50:04,900 --> 00:50:08,300
Argumentation ethics is a 
Libertarian political theory 

886
00:50:08,300 --> 00:50:12,100
developed in 1988 by Hans 
Hermann hop, a professor 

887
00:50:12,100 --> 00:50:14,500
emeritus with the University of 
Nevada. 

888
00:50:14,700 --> 00:50:18,600
Las Vegas College of Business 
and Ludwig von mises Institute, 

889
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,900
senior fellow. 
Argumentation ethics aims to 

890
00:50:21,900 --> 00:50:24,800
prove that arguing for any 
ethical position other than 

891
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,200
libertarian anarchism and the 
non-aggression principle is 

892
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:32,300
logically incoherent responses. 
Have mainly come from hops 

893
00:50:32,300 --> 00:50:35,100
colleagues at The mises 
Institute among whom the 

894
00:50:35,100 --> 00:50:39,200
arguments reception has been 
mixed hop states that because 

895
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,200
both parties in a debate 
propound, propositions in the 

896
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,400
course of argumentation and 
because argumentation 

897
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:49,200
presupposes various Norms, 
including non-violence, the 

898
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,800
active per pound, The 
proposition that negates the 

899
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,900
presupposed Norms of 
argumentation is a logical 

900
00:50:54,900 --> 00:50:58,100
contradiction between one's 
actions and one's words. 

901
00:50:58,100 --> 00:51:02,500
A performative contradiction 
specifically to argue that 

902
00:51:02,500 --> 00:51:05,200
violence should be used to 
resolve conflicts. 

903
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:10,000
Instead of argumentation is a 
performative contradiction, thus

904
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:14,000
hop, argues that arguing against
libertarian anarchism and the 

905
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,100
non-aggression principle is 
logically incoherent. 

906
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:23,100
Hope states. 
That how is Theft, how is it? 

907
00:51:23,100 --> 00:51:28,500
Not somebody's ain't give me 
your money or I'll hurt you. 

908
00:51:28,900 --> 00:51:32,400
And it actually came up before, 
when people say well, but they 

909
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:33,800
give us Services. 
All right. 

910
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,000
Well, if that's the 
justification, then, give me 

911
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,500
$100 and tomorrow, I'll give you
a moldy sandwich and then we're 

912
00:51:39,500 --> 00:51:41,800
good, right? 
Because as long as I give you 

913
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,100
something with some of the 
stolen, after the fact that it's

914
00:51:45,100 --> 00:51:46,700
okay. 
And of course, everybody's well.

915
00:51:46,700 --> 00:51:47,700
No, that wouldn't be. 
Okay. 

916
00:51:47,700 --> 00:51:48,900
Okay. 
Well then stop pretending, it's 

917
00:51:48,900 --> 00:51:51,500
not fast. 
And stop pretending that them 

918
00:51:51,500 --> 00:51:55,600
giving us something back 
afterwards retroactively makes 

919
00:51:55,700 --> 00:51:58,000
armed robbery. 
Okay, because that's insane. 

920
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,600
Again. 
It's just people sticking up for

921
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:02,100
mythology. 
They were taught that they've 

922
00:52:02,100 --> 00:52:04,800
never thought about and still 
haven't thought about. 

923
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,700
And they just, they repeat. 
So well, it's called, so it's 

924
00:52:07,700 --> 00:52:10,000
called taxation. 
So it's not the same. 

925
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,800
Okay, I call that zebra-striped 
horse. 

926
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,000
Now. 
Is it something different? 

927
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,400
Or is it the same thing? 
With different words? 

928
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,900
I love how you call it a moldy 
sandwich. 

929
00:52:19,900 --> 00:52:21,800
You You can't even say it's a 
regular sandwich. 

930
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:26,100
You hate the state so much that 
they're not even a regular 

931
00:52:26,100 --> 00:52:28,200
sandwich. 
Well, that's efficient enough to

932
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:33,000
make a normal sandwich. 
Can you tell us what Anarchy 

933
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,700
means to you? 
And it really is just people 

934
00:52:35,700 --> 00:52:40,000
getting along and and and not 
standing for anyone who uses 

935
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,000
violence or extortion against 
others. 

936
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,200
There's only one principle. 
It's actually the same. 

937
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,800
As Jesus said, the Golden Rule 
do unto others as you want them 

938
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,600
to do unto you, or we call it 
the non-aggression principle. 

939
00:52:50,100 --> 00:52:52,500
Any P. 
Do not aggress against others. 

940
00:52:52,500 --> 00:52:54,800
And if you see others doing a 
stand up against it, everybody 

941
00:52:54,800 --> 00:53:00,100
got if you are for gun control, 
then you are not against guns 

942
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:04,200
because the guns will be needed 
to disarm the people. 

943
00:53:05,300 --> 00:53:07,600
So it's not that you are 
anti-gun. 

944
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,800
You'll need the police's guns to
take away other people's guns. 

945
00:53:11,500 --> 00:53:16,000
So you are very pro-gun. 
You just believe that only the 

946
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:20,000
government, which is, of course,
so reliable honest moral and 

947
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,800
virtuous should be allowed to 
have guns. 

948
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,600
There is no such thing as gun 
control. 

949
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:34,100
There is only centralizing gun 
ownership in the hands of a 

950
00:53:34,100 --> 00:53:38,300
small political Elite and their 
minions. 

951
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,700
He is considered to be the 
founder of anarcho-capitalism a 

952
00:53:46,707 --> 00:53:49,000
new form of modern 
libertarianism. 

953
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,600
Not only, was he opposed the 
Central Banking, like the other 

954
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,400
economists, but he also opposed 
all of them enough. 

955
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,600
These services that the state 
provided saying goods and 

956
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,600
services that are provided, by 
the government can be provided 

957
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:02,600
more efficiently by the private 
sector. 

958
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,500
Unlike most socialist Jews, this
to promoted, they complete 

959
00:54:06,500 --> 00:54:09,500
opposite of Communism 
preferencing self-ownership 

960
00:54:09,500 --> 00:54:12,200
unregulated, capitalism private,
property rights. 

961
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,000
And the non-aggression principle
above all else. 

962
00:54:15,100 --> 00:54:18,200
This relatively new school of 
thought is still alive and 

963
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,400
spreading around the world today
and is the major inspiration 

964
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,200
behind the vehicle flying. 
But all right, but here now 

965
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,900
we're getting back to a 
fundamental problem. 

966
00:54:26,900 --> 00:54:27,800
What's that? 
What is it? 

967
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:29,100
What is the fundamental 
problems? 

968
00:54:29,100 --> 00:54:30,700
A little something called 
competition? 

969
00:54:30,700 --> 00:54:33,300
Yeah, the lack of it. 
Government does not have 

970
00:54:33,300 --> 00:54:37,600
competition and thus their 
windows are, hey, we'll see if 

971
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:41,000
we get a guy from the DWP out to
the house between 8 a.m. 

972
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:42,200
And 10 p.m. 
Yeah. 

973
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,500
That's that's what competition. 
Does. 

974
00:54:44,500 --> 00:54:45,900
It breeds. 
Nothing. 

975
00:54:45,900 --> 00:54:49,100
You got it bleep breeds flab. 
Underneath your arms. 

976
00:54:49,300 --> 00:54:50,800
You have a business. 
You know what? 

977
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,900
It's like you can't charge 50 
bucks for a bottle of Pinot 

978
00:54:53,900 --> 00:54:55,900
Noir. 
If everyone else is charging 19 

979
00:54:55,900 --> 00:54:59,200
Bob's you got it, you're out of 
business, but imagine how your 

980
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:01,200
attitude would change. 
If you were the only guy who 

981
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,600
could sell wine in Napa. 
No, you guys. 

982
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,100
That's where the attitude comes.
It. 

983
00:55:05,100 --> 00:55:07,000
I agree with you. 
And that's, I mean, you're 100%,

984
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:08,900
right? 
And so you got these monopolies 

985
00:55:08,900 --> 00:55:10,800
government. 
There's no damn place to go, 

986
00:55:11,100 --> 00:55:12,800
right? 
And so at least we can Put some 

987
00:55:12,900 --> 00:55:15,100
sunshine and light of day on it 
and here's some examples. 

988
00:55:15,100 --> 00:55:17,600
I have my book, you know, you 
got Yelp for example, the 

989
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,800
complaint about restaurants and 
coffee stores or whatever and we

990
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:22,400
out that way out there rating 
those things. 

991
00:55:22,500 --> 00:55:23,800
Right? 
But why don't we have Yelp for 

992
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,900
government services and start 
writing your DMV comparing and 

993
00:55:26,900 --> 00:55:28,300
contrasting, the DMV and your 
city. 

994
00:55:28,300 --> 00:55:30,700
They got a deal, they'd be 
delighted. 

995
00:55:30,700 --> 00:55:33,000
They be they be bragging that 
they got to F. 

996
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,900
It was the other DMV. 
Okay. 

997
00:55:35,900 --> 00:55:39,500
So your DMV that you have to use
is the worst DMV and North 

998
00:55:39,500 --> 00:55:40,900
America. 
There's no mechanism. 

999
00:55:40,900 --> 00:55:55,000
Now you're going to do 
Let me ask you. 

1000
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,200
This is all legitimate 
governmental power. 

1001
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:02,900
Derived from the people did, the
individual citizens ever have 

1002
00:56:02,900 --> 00:56:06,100
the right to initiate physical 
Force against other citizens 

1003
00:56:06,100 --> 00:56:08,600
that have not initiated 
remember, going back to physical

1004
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:09,400
force. 
All right. 

1005
00:56:09,500 --> 00:56:12,100
You keep making this point. 
I don't know what your political

1006
00:56:12,100 --> 00:56:14,100
background is, what the 
political background. 

1007
00:56:14,100 --> 00:56:16,200
Let me finish it because you 
just answer that question. 

1008
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:17,100
Answer the question. 
Okay. 

1009
00:56:17,100 --> 00:56:19,600
I don't know really where you 
are coming from politically, but

1010
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:21,000
you keep coming back to the 
point. 

1011
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,100
I presume that every law that is
passed by the federal. 

1012
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,400
The government or local 
government is some kind of 

1013
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,900
forceful attack on innocent 
people. 

1014
00:56:28,900 --> 00:56:31,600
I happen not to think. 
So I happen to believe that any 

1015
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,900
Civil Society in a civilized 
society people come together. 

1016
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,300
They elect their officials, the 
officials try to do. 

1017
00:56:37,300 --> 00:56:39,400
Well, sometimes they do 
sometimes they don't they 

1018
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,700
determine priorities. 
They raise taxes and they spend 

1019
00:56:41,700 --> 00:56:43,500
money. 
Your implication is that 

1020
00:56:43,500 --> 00:56:46,900
sometimes that every government 
in the world is somehow 

1021
00:56:47,100 --> 00:56:50,400
beseeching innocent people in a 
forceful and violent way. 

1022
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:52,100
I do not accept that basic 
premise. 

1023
00:56:52,900 --> 00:56:55,400
What was the my question? 
And I answered your question. 

1024
00:56:55,400 --> 00:57:01,400
My question was, whether the 
individuals ever had the right 

1025
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:05,100
to initiate physical Force, 
against other citizens that have

1026
00:57:05,100 --> 00:57:07,500
not initiated or threatened to 
initiate physical Force. 

1027
00:57:07,500 --> 00:57:09,900
You seem to be, you think they 
did or they didn't? 

1028
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:21,900
I think your question answer. 
Your question, is that all acts 

1029
00:57:21,900 --> 00:57:24,100
of government, every war that is
being passed. 

1030
00:57:24,500 --> 00:57:27,900
Somehow implies physical Force 
against innocent people. 

1031
00:57:27,900 --> 00:57:30,700
No. 
No, I have not said that that 

1032
00:57:30,700 --> 00:57:32,600
has nothing to do with the 
question that I asked. 

1033
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:36,900
All I've asked you is whether 
the individual citizens ever had

1034
00:57:36,900 --> 00:57:41,000
the right to initiate physical 
Force, against other citizens 

1035
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,600
that have not initiated or 
threatened to initiate physical 

1036
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,100
Force against the question. 
Five times five. 

1037
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,100
In this country of people do not
like what their towns are doing 

1038
00:57:52,100 --> 00:57:54,000
their city government, the state
government, the federal 

1039
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:55,500
government. 
They aren't elect people. 

1040
00:57:55,500 --> 00:57:59,300
That's what freedom is about. 
What I asked willing to answer 

1041
00:57:59,300 --> 00:58:02,900
that question. 
It's an absurd question. 

1042
00:58:02,900 --> 00:58:06,000
You are employing. 
Find everywhere that people want

1043
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,100
to know what you like. 
No one has ever asked me that 

1044
00:58:08,100 --> 00:58:10,300
question. 
I must tell you if your 

1045
00:58:10,300 --> 00:58:14,300
implication is that every piece 
of right now, as we speak on the

1046
00:58:14,308 --> 00:58:17,600
floor of the Congress, there is 
a discussion about a law. 

1047
00:58:18,100 --> 00:58:21,700
You can interpret But after that
war is past, if people choose 

1048
00:58:21,700 --> 00:58:23,600
not to obey it, they will be 
punished. 

1049
00:58:23,700 --> 00:58:26,300
Is it not possible for you to 
Simply to answer the quiz? 

1050
00:58:26,500 --> 00:58:28,200
Answer your question as best I 
can? 

1051
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:31,700
Well, I have no idea whether 
it's a yes or a no, what is it? 

1052
00:58:32,100 --> 00:58:34,100
I've answered that. 
Question is best that I can? 

1053
00:58:34,500 --> 00:58:37,500
I think it's an absurd question.
And then you mischaracterize the

1054
00:58:37,500 --> 00:58:39,200
he wants. 
You don't refuse to answer that 

1055
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:40,400
question. 
I've answered it in five 

1056
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,900
different ways is your. 
Let me ask you to maybe help me 

1057
00:58:42,900 --> 00:58:43,700
clarify. 
Okay. 

1058
00:58:43,700 --> 00:58:45,300
Help me clarify the question. 
Sure. 

1059
00:58:45,300 --> 00:58:47,000
Because I'm not quite sure. 
Where you coming from. 

1060
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,300
Is it your suggestion? 
Every law that is passed by a 

1061
00:58:50,300 --> 00:58:54,000
city state or federal government
implies an act of force against 

1062
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:55,200
innocent people. 
No. 

1063
00:58:57,100 --> 00:58:59,300
That's not my suggestion. 
That's how can you answer the 

1064
00:58:59,300 --> 00:59:01,000
question of whether phrase it? 
Yes. 

1065
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:05,300
The question is did the 
individual citizens ever have 

1066
00:59:05,300 --> 00:59:09,800
the right to initiate physical 
Force against other individual 

1067
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:12,700
citizens. 
I would expect that would be 

1068
00:59:12,700 --> 00:59:14,700
against the law. 
People do not have the right to 

1069
00:59:14,700 --> 00:59:16,500
go around beating up. 
That would be wrong. 

1070
00:59:16,500 --> 00:59:17,400
Right? 
I will people. 

1071
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:21,900
So if they never had that right,
could they have delegated to the

1072
00:59:21,900 --> 00:59:25,600
government? 
I guess they have to have 

1073
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:27,400
delegated. 
The right of governments to make

1074
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,100
war. 
They have delegated. 

1075
00:59:29,100 --> 00:59:31,500
The right of governments to 
build roads. 

1076
00:59:31,700 --> 00:59:34,300
They have delegated all types of
rights to people. 

1077
00:59:34,500 --> 00:59:38,000
And in a civilized society, as 
you know, we have laws. 

1078
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,900
We are Judges, we have courts, 
we have appeal processes. 

1079
00:59:41,100 --> 00:59:43,300
And when people break the law, 
they are punished. 

1080
00:59:43,500 --> 00:59:46,100
Can you delegate a right that 
you don't have? 

1081
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:50,600
I believe the American people 
have the right in a 

1082
00:59:50,607 --> 00:59:54,200
representative democracy to 
delegate. 

1083
00:59:55,300 --> 01:00:01,200
Power to their elected officials
to do best for cities states and

1084
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,400
the federal government. 
So I guess the answer is yes, 

1085
01:00:03,500 --> 01:00:07,000
but didn't you say before I that
they didn't have the right to do

1086
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:26,800
that? 
Like me, finish the show and I 

1087
01:00:26,808 --> 01:00:30,000
must confess that your 
questioning is interesting. 

1088
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:34,000
I've enjoyed the discussion, not
quite sure where you are coming 

1089
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,700
from, but I've tried my best to 
answer your questions, and I 

1090
01:00:36,707 --> 01:00:38,100
thank you very much for the 
kind. 

1091
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:41,600
I've got a vote as you can say. 
I was one of the obligations of 

1092
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:45,100
being the representative is to 
vote to try to represent the 

1093
01:00:45,100 --> 01:00:47,000
people as best. 
We got our got an important 

1094
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:48,400
vote. 
Thank you very much. 

1095
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,100
Thank you very much. 
You're very welcome. 

1096
01:00:51,700 --> 01:00:58,500
Thanks for watching. 
I would like to worry, 

1097
01:00:58,500 --> 01:01:01,700
formations exactly where the 
show is going to be very who you

1098
01:01:01,700 --> 01:01:07,000
are, where you come from. 
I think you gave me, I would 

1099
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:09,900
like to know. 
Leave me your card for 

1100
01:01:09,900 --> 01:01:12,600
something, like, some very 
specific information, about who 

1101
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,100
you are time. 
Will finances in the show were 

1102
01:01:15,100 --> 01:01:17,700
bills. 
Okay, would you like to do the 

1103
01:01:17,700 --> 01:01:22,700
show our minimum wage like 
family? 

1104
01:01:22,700 --> 01:01:25,200
I guess. 
Do you think that Chris Kyle is 

1105
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,500
a hero. 
Yes, I do. 

1106
01:01:28,100 --> 01:01:31,900
And why do you say that? 
Because he saved so many people,

1107
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:36,000
Do you think it's because like 
he was defending his homeland? 

1108
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,400
Yes. 
So if someone is defending their

1109
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,800
Homeland that makes them a hero.
Yes. 

1110
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,800
So what would you say about 
someone who goes out and kills a

1111
01:01:44,808 --> 01:01:47,500
bunch of people that are heroes 
for defending their Homeland? 

1112
01:01:56,800 --> 01:02:00,200
I don't know. 
Well, what do you think about 

1113
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,900
the people that Chris Kyle was 
killing in the movie as a 

1114
01:02:02,900 --> 01:02:04,200
sniper? 
What were they doing? 

1115
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:24,900
No, well, I mean, you know what,
the war, the movies about, 

1116
01:02:24,900 --> 01:02:26,300
right? 
The war in Iraq, right? 

1117
01:02:27,100 --> 01:02:29,100
Yeah. 
So, what were the, what were the

1118
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:32,900
bad guys in the movie? 
What were they doing defending 

1119
01:02:32,900 --> 01:02:35,600
their Homeland? 
So are you saying that the 

1120
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:37,500
insurgents in Iraq are the 
heroes? 

1121
01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:41,400
No. 
What you said before, Defending 

1122
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:43,900
Your Homeland, made you a hero, 
you know, you're saying the 

1123
01:02:43,900 --> 01:02:45,800
insurgents were defending their 
Homeland, right? 

1124
01:03:01,900 --> 01:03:04,400
Ford it? 
Yeah, absolutely. 

1125
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:12,300
I mean You know, if if Obama 
wants to go back to Iraq and you

1126
01:03:12,300 --> 01:03:15,300
know, kill some more terrorists.
Then hoorah. 

1127
01:03:15,300 --> 01:03:17,800
Let's kill all the terrorists. 
Hold on a second. 

1128
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:21,200
I just realized something 
because I when I was in Iraq, we

1129
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,600
were we were dealing with 
insurgents. 

1130
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:25,200
Right? 
And you remember, the scene in 

1131
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:29,600
the movie, The First kill that 
he has, he kills a mother and 

1132
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:31,800
her son, right GE. 
What are they doing? 

1133
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:35,000
In that scene? 
They're trying to take a Russian

1134
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:38,700
grenade and throw it at a squat.
An American soldiers. 

1135
01:03:38,900 --> 01:03:42,100
And where are they somewhere in 
Iraq? 

1136
01:03:42,100 --> 01:03:44,600
I believe you remember what the 
city looked like, right. 

1137
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:46,500
I mean, they're like a city 
square and it's pretty 

1138
01:03:46,500 --> 01:03:47,900
bombed-out, like, full of 
rubble. 

1139
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:49,100
It looked like a war zone. 
Yeah. 

1140
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,900
So look like their City. 
Just got really messed up by 

1141
01:03:51,900 --> 01:03:55,400
someone from from outside. 
It does. 

1142
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:57,800
Yeah. 
And who did that? 

1143
01:03:59,100 --> 01:04:00,500
Well, it could have been 
Americans. 

1144
01:04:00,500 --> 01:04:03,100
That could have been the. 
It could have been Saddam. 

1145
01:04:03,900 --> 01:04:07,200
No, Saddam was not bombing any 
cities in Iraq during the war. 

1146
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:12,100
The Americas, ruined it up. 
Yeah, so doesn't that mean that 

1147
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:16,300
like the mother and the kid, 
they were defending like their 

1148
01:04:16,300 --> 01:04:20,100
City against against a foreign 
Invader, like, in a someone who 

1149
01:04:20,100 --> 01:04:25,500
was coming in and like, doesn't 
that make them the heroes guy, 

1150
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:27,900
right? 
And what we're trying to do is 

1151
01:04:27,900 --> 01:04:32,900
to get people to see The gun 
that's in the room that nobody 

1152
01:04:32,900 --> 01:04:35,600
talks about which is the 
initiation of the use of force. 

1153
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:39,400
That is at the core of the 
statist, philosophy and it's 

1154
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:43,800
really hard to get people to see
that gun in the room. 

1155
01:04:43,900 --> 01:04:45,700
It's like going to a bunch of 
fish and saying you're swimming 

1156
01:04:45,700 --> 01:04:48,700
in water and they say what water
we don't know because it's all 

1157
01:04:48,700 --> 01:04:51,200
we know it's our entire 
environment people can't see it.

1158
01:04:51,500 --> 01:04:56,100
And the against me argument is 
really designed to show the 

1159
01:04:56,100 --> 01:05:00,100
violence that is in people's 
advocation of state of 

1160
01:05:00,100 --> 01:05:02,000
solutions. 
The social problems. 

1161
01:05:03,300 --> 01:05:05,500
Because there are two 
characteristics of evil that I 

1162
01:05:05,500 --> 01:05:07,700
think are really, really 
important to understand. 

1163
01:05:07,900 --> 01:05:13,700
The first is that it's really 
really really effective. 

1164
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:19,300
I mean, it works really, really 
well, if you want a cow, a 

1165
01:05:19,300 --> 01:05:22,900
population if you want to take 
their money, if you want to put 

1166
01:05:22,900 --> 01:05:27,200
their children, In these lack of
concentration camps called 

1167
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:30,400
Public Schools, if you want to 
rule them. 

1168
01:05:31,500 --> 01:05:37,000
The Gun Works everywhere. 
Always beautifully. 

1169
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:45,400
But it only works if people 
won't look at it, violence is 

1170
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:49,400
incredibly effective as a tool 
of ruling, what? 

1171
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:53,100
Of course, I call the human tax 
livestock, but it's only 

1172
01:05:53,100 --> 01:05:57,800
effective to the degree to, 
which people don't look at it 

1173
01:05:58,300 --> 01:06:01,800
because the moment people see 
the coercion that is at the root

1174
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:06,500
of statism. 
They see that it's tomorrow and 

1175
01:06:06,500 --> 01:06:11,100
statism is a philosophy false. 
So, the first characteristic of 

1176
01:06:11,100 --> 01:06:13,900
evil is that it is incredibly 
effective and we all know this, 

1177
01:06:13,900 --> 01:06:16,300
right. 
It's is it six years now that 

1178
01:06:16,300 --> 01:06:19,800
this Iraq war has been going on 
six. 

1179
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:21,800
It's longer than the second 
world war. 

1180
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:23,800
Right? 
It's actually I think coming on 

1181
01:06:23,808 --> 01:06:25,900
for longer than the u.s. 
Involvement in the first and 

1182
01:06:25,900 --> 01:06:30,300
second World War. and, It's 
amazing. 

1183
01:06:30,300 --> 01:06:32,500
It's the incredible Invisible 
War. 

1184
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:37,000
There's no bodies, six years. 
You can look at the mainstream 

1185
01:06:37,100 --> 01:06:42,500
media and you can't see any of 
the hundreds of thousands of 

1186
01:06:42,500 --> 01:06:45,400
Iraqis who have been killed or 
driven out. 

1187
01:06:46,300 --> 01:06:51,100
You can't even take a photograph
of a flag draped coffin. 

1188
01:06:51,100 --> 01:06:52,900
Coming off a plane at Andrews 
Air Base. 

1189
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:55,100
That's not legal. 
The elf. 

1190
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:57,100
Is it? 
Did they change that? 

1191
01:06:57,500 --> 01:07:00,200
Okay, good. 
So, in year 6, You can now maybe

1192
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,800
take a photograph of a body. 
But what you see is you see 

1193
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:04,800
these yearbook photos of these 
guys, you know. 

1194
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:08,900
The guys who fall in like, they 
tripped. 

1195
01:07:10,500 --> 01:07:16,900
So when we look at something 
like a war, you here patriotism 

1196
01:07:16,900 --> 01:07:19,500
Flags, you know, protection of 
the realm defense of the 

1197
01:07:19,500 --> 01:07:22,300
Homeland service to the nation 
and this and that. 

1198
01:07:22,500 --> 01:07:26,000
So you hear all of these amazing
morally eloquent terms, but what

1199
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:28,300
you'll never see is the reality 
of War which is people being 

1200
01:07:28,300 --> 01:07:30,600
disassembled by machinery and 
bullets. 

1201
01:07:31,900 --> 01:07:34,600
And that's very clear why they 
would not want you to see that 

1202
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:38,100
because if people see violence, 
they oppose violence. 

1203
01:07:38,100 --> 01:07:41,100
So the violence has to be hidden
in order for it to work and the 

1204
01:07:41,500 --> 01:07:44,600
argument that I'm going to lay 
out for you is designed to help 

1205
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:48,900
you show the hidden violence. 
That is in the statist position,

1206
01:07:48,900 --> 01:07:50,400
which I and to take the offense,
right? 

1207
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:55,300
Because Generally, and I'm going
to generalize here, but maybe I 

1208
01:07:55,300 --> 01:08:00,100
think it'll make sense the way 
that we approach. 

1209
01:08:00,300 --> 01:08:02,900
A statist argument somebody 
who's advocating status 

1210
01:08:02,900 --> 01:08:07,900
position, or when we proposed a 
voluntary asked position is, 

1211
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:11,300
will take one of two approaches.
There's either the pragmatic 

1212
01:08:11,300 --> 01:08:13,200
practical approach. 
It doesn't work. 

1213
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,300
Right? 
Or there's the abstract moral 

1214
01:08:17,300 --> 01:08:19,000
approach. 
The initiation of the use of 

1215
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,300
force is wrong. 
The government is an agency, 

1216
01:08:21,300 --> 01:08:23,399
which is a monopoly of 
individuals who claimed the 

1217
01:08:23,399 --> 01:08:27,500
right to initiate violence in a 
particular geographical area, 

1218
01:08:27,500 --> 01:08:30,800
and that's very abstract. 
And that's very hard for people 

1219
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:33,300
to connect with in a visceral 
way. 

1220
01:08:34,100 --> 01:08:37,399
Because another thing that's 
true about violence is that 

1221
01:08:37,399 --> 01:08:41,200
there's very few people who want
to do it directly, people will 

1222
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:43,899
support it in the abstract as 
long as they don't connect it. 

1223
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:47,300
With what is actually happening 
at the other end of the bullet 

1224
01:08:47,300 --> 01:08:50,399
or the bomb? 
But there's very few people who 

1225
01:08:50,399 --> 01:08:52,800
actually want to do it directly.
So that's what we need to do is 

1226
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:58,100
to bring these this violence 
that is inherent in the system 

1227
01:08:58,100 --> 01:09:02,399
that we live in to people's 
understanding when you take the 

1228
01:09:02,399 --> 01:09:05,600
pragmatic approach, right? 
So you argue the welfare state, 

1229
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:06,500
right? 
What if someone says, oh, the 

1230
01:09:06,500 --> 01:09:09,000
welfare state is is great or 
necessary or good or whatever. 

1231
01:09:09,300 --> 01:09:12,600
The pragmatic answer is to say 
well, but you know, there were 

1232
01:09:12,608 --> 01:09:14,700
these friendly societies before 
we had the welfare state. 

1233
01:09:14,700 --> 01:09:15,899
They did a much more effective 
job. 

1234
01:09:15,899 --> 01:09:18,800
There's private Charities. 
And by the way, the number of 

1235
01:09:18,899 --> 01:09:21,600
Poor was declining 1%. 
A year until the welfare state 

1236
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:24,300
came in in the early 60s and 
then it leveled off and now it's

1237
01:09:24,300 --> 01:09:26,000
increasing. 
So it doesn't actually solve 

1238
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:30,700
poverty and so on, and you end 
up arguing statistics, which can

1239
01:09:30,700 --> 01:09:33,200
always be criticized for bias or
interpretation. 

1240
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:36,600
You end up having to be the 
libertarian googlebot research, 

1241
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:37,600
robot. 
Right? 

1242
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:40,100
Where you you sort of like, oh 
intellectual property rights, 

1243
01:09:40,100 --> 01:09:41,800
let me go and study 
intellectual, property rights 

1244
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:44,200
and and then I'll come back and 
I bet to become the master of 

1245
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:46,100
everything and I have to 
understand everything and I have

1246
01:09:46,100 --> 01:09:47,800
to know every statistic and here
are my charts. 

1247
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:50,800
And here are my graphs and Here,
I mean it's exhausting, right? 

1248
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:54,100
And you can't ever become an 
expert at everything. 

1249
01:09:54,100 --> 01:09:58,600
And when you finally do have the
Ironclad case as to how the 

1250
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:01,000
welfare state contributes to the
problems of poverty. 

1251
01:10:02,300 --> 01:10:04,100
People say well, but it's the 
social contract. 

1252
01:10:04,100 --> 01:10:08,500
So I'm glad you did all that 
research. 

1253
01:10:08,900 --> 01:10:11,000
I'm not giving you a degree and 
I'm going to walk away from the 

1254
01:10:11,008 --> 01:10:13,600
argument anyway, and maybe 
there's, I mean, be anyone, 

1255
01:10:13,900 --> 01:10:17,500
you've all done that, right? 
So, we've all and it's not a lot

1256
01:10:17,500 --> 01:10:19,300
of fun, right? 
I mean after a while you sort of

1257
01:10:19,300 --> 01:10:21,500
feel like, man. 
This wall is really beginning to

1258
01:10:21,500 --> 01:10:28,100
end. 
Now the second approach is where

1259
01:10:28,100 --> 01:10:30,900
we take the abstract argument. 
Well see the welfare state 

1260
01:10:31,300 --> 01:10:34,400
relies upon the initiation of 
force against usually legally, 

1261
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:37,300
disarmed citizens. 
That's immoral blah blah, blah, 

1262
01:10:37,300 --> 01:10:39,100
right? 
And what the people say? 

1263
01:10:39,100 --> 01:10:40,500
Why? 
Didn't anyone what the people 

1264
01:10:40,500 --> 01:10:43,200
say to that argument? 
Well, it's not the initiation of

1265
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:45,500
force because it's a social 
contract, you can leave at any 

1266
01:10:45,500 --> 01:10:47,100
time you vote. 
You can change the system, you 

1267
01:10:47,100 --> 01:10:48,200
can get involved, you can do 
this. 

1268
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:49,200
You can do that. 
Right? 

1269
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:53,300
So it's not forced because, you 
know, When you're in my house, 

1270
01:10:53,300 --> 01:10:54,400
you do. 
As I say, right? 

1271
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:56,300
I mean, that's what that's what 
people say. 

1272
01:10:56,300 --> 01:10:57,400
That's how they view the 
government. 

1273
01:10:57,400 --> 01:10:59,400
Right? 
And so you don't and then you 

1274
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:01,600
can argue about the social 
contracts, which is a real 

1275
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:03,600
Quagmire, right? 
It's really hard to pin people 

1276
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:08,600
down on the social contract. 
So, I have not found those two 

1277
01:11:09,300 --> 01:11:12,200
approaches to work and I poured 
an embarrassing amount of time 

1278
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:16,600
and energy into just those 
approaches to making these 

1279
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:20,500
arguments. 
So in desperation, you know, 

1280
01:11:20,500 --> 01:11:22,500
when you're looking over that 
Cliff, saying, if I have Our 

1281
01:11:22,500 --> 01:11:24,400
argument like this. 
I'm gonna jump. 

1282
01:11:25,700 --> 01:11:28,100
I started to try and take 
another approach, right? 

1283
01:11:28,100 --> 01:11:30,200
Because I like to be so 
proactive that I wait until I'm 

1284
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:33,200
really desperate before I come 
up with a new approach. 

1285
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:37,600
So my third approach doesn't 
rely on any statistics. 

1286
01:11:37,700 --> 01:11:40,300
Oh praise be to the heavens 
above, I don't have to look up 

1287
01:11:40,300 --> 01:11:42,800
everything all the time and then
just have people say, well, 

1288
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:44,400
those come from the Cato 
Institute. 

1289
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:48,500
Come on. 
Might as well be quoting from 

1290
01:11:48,500 --> 01:11:54,500
Hitler and I don't have to have 
all these abstract arguments 

1291
01:11:54,500 --> 01:11:58,000
against the social contracts 
and, and go into that Quagmire 

1292
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,500
which never seems to come a 
particularly effectively. 

1293
01:12:00,900 --> 01:12:03,100
So I wanted to come up with a 
third way and I'll give you an 

1294
01:12:03,100 --> 01:12:05,900
example of this in action. 
And then I give you a tiny bit 

1295
01:12:05,900 --> 01:12:08,000
of theory and then, you know, 
grab a mic and let's take this 

1296
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:09,400
thing for a spin and see how it 
works. 

1297
01:12:10,900 --> 01:12:14,300
So in a call-in show that I do 
every Sunday at 4 p.m. 

1298
01:12:14,500 --> 01:12:18,800
Eastern, a listener brought a 
friend, you know, that's always 

1299
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:21,200
exciting because you always got 
to start from zero, right? 

1300
01:12:21,500 --> 01:12:23,300
And his friend. 
This is a woman who was a 

1301
01:12:23,308 --> 01:12:28,000
teacher and she, she said, I'm 
really for the surge. 

1302
01:12:29,100 --> 01:12:30,800
In Iraq, you know, I think it's 
going to work. 

1303
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:32,600
I think it's good. 
I think it's going to be 

1304
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:35,600
effective. 
I think it's I'm really behind 

1305
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:37,700
it. 
And I hear that you're not like,

1306
01:12:37,700 --> 01:12:42,000
well, it's not that, I'm against
the surge, you know, a doctor 

1307
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:51,000
isn't against one cancer. 
And my old way, if I queuing 

1308
01:12:51,300 --> 01:12:55,200
would have been a 939 start of 
the Iraq War and its 

1309
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:58,300
imperialism, which is really bad
and the troops are paid by 

1310
01:12:58,300 --> 01:13:01,700
aggression against citizens and,
and, and, and, and right in 

1311
01:13:01,700 --> 01:13:03,400
other words, trying to, you 
know, move her. 

1312
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:07,000
Like the 4-ton piece of cheese 
through the greater of Education

1313
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:18,900
in libertarian principles. 
I see other people know that 

1314
01:13:18,900 --> 01:13:20,400
greater, right? 
We've all had our fingers, 

1315
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:24,400
right? 
Oh, wow, but you can't, and you 

1316
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:26,800
can't push a camel through the 
eye of the needle, right? 

1317
01:13:26,900 --> 01:13:30,500
You can't. 
Yes, you just need a big needle.

1318
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:35,800
I don't have that big, a needle.
So, so, I took another approach 

1319
01:13:36,100 --> 01:13:38,700
and and I'll just run through 
the argument, briefly will then 

1320
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:41,000
apply to to stuff that works 
hopefully for you guys. 

1321
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:45,700
But what I did was I said, so 
you're for their search, right? 

1322
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:49,000
And I didn't say, but there's 
the fifth Surge and they were 

1323
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:50,700
for before they didn't work in, 
right? 

1324
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:54,600
And I said, that's fine. 
I said, I completely respect 

1325
01:13:55,600 --> 01:14:00,300
your right to be for the surge. 
You like, The Surge, go hug The 

1326
01:14:00,300 --> 01:14:02,800
Surge. 
I'm fine with it, you know, take

1327
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,800
it out for dinner, by it, some 
flowers, whatever you like, you 

1328
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:13,200
know, I said and I would never 
never think of using Force. 

1329
01:14:14,100 --> 01:14:15,800
Against you because of your 
opinion. 

1330
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:22,200
I would never dream of hiring 
guys in costume to come to your 

1331
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:27,400
house. 
And cut you off to some torture 

1332
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:29,100
chamber because you like the 
search. 

1333
01:14:29,100 --> 01:14:31,900
You are free to, like the surge.
I respect your opinion. 

1334
01:14:32,900 --> 01:14:35,900
She was a little surprised but 
you an anarchist. 

1335
01:14:36,500 --> 01:14:45,300
I just left the yell at me. 
And so, I then said, I don't 

1336
01:14:45,300 --> 01:14:52,600
agree with the search. 
Do you give me the same respect 

1337
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:57,400
and consideration to be against 
the surge as I'm giving you two 

1338
01:14:57,400 --> 01:15:00,800
before the surge? 
What you're going to say? 

1339
01:15:01,300 --> 01:15:04,700
No, I want the guys in costume 
to come to your house. 

1340
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:07,600
We have to, you know, you got to
use the levers that people 

1341
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:08,900
already, believe in the ethics, 
right? 

1342
01:15:08,900 --> 01:15:11,600
And people already believe in 
freedom of expression, right? 

1343
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:15,100
So if I say, look, I'm allowed 
to disagree with you, right? 

1344
01:15:15,100 --> 01:15:17,600
You don't Advocate the use of 
force against me because I 

1345
01:15:17,608 --> 01:15:20,200
disagree with you, right? 
Of course, she's going to say no

1346
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:21,600
across. 
I don't think that you should, 

1347
01:15:22,100 --> 01:15:24,700
she said, you shouldn't be a 
aggressed against because you 

1348
01:15:24,700 --> 01:15:28,200
disagree with me. 
I said, excellent progress. 

1349
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:30,200
I'm not used to this. 
Let me get used to this. 

1350
01:15:31,500 --> 01:15:37,200
I'm dizzy. 
And So then I said, now it 

1351
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:39,400
wouldn't make any sense at all. 
Logically. 

1352
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:42,400
If I was allowed to disagree 
with you, but I could not act 

1353
01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:45,100
upon that disagreement. 
That would make that's an 

1354
01:15:45,100 --> 01:15:47,600
illusory, right? 
It's like, alright, the money, 

1355
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:51,200
right? 
Like, if I don't know, I had 

1356
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:56,100
some daughter in the Middle Ages
and and I said, you are free to 

1357
01:15:56,100 --> 01:15:58,700
marry whoever you want. 
But you have to marry the man I 

1358
01:15:58,700 --> 01:16:01,200
choose. 
Okay, we understand that would 

1359
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:02,800
be a logical contradiction, 
right? 

1360
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:05,600
That you can't be free to 
disagree with someone but not be

1361
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:08,400
able to act upon that 
disagreement. 

1362
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:09,500
Right? 
That's like having the right to 

1363
01:16:09,500 --> 01:16:12,300
a free press, but not the right 
to type anything, right? 

1364
01:16:12,300 --> 01:16:16,500
I mean, wouldn't make any sense.
And she said, yes, it wouldn't 

1365
01:16:16,500 --> 01:16:18,000
make any sense if you were 
allowed to. 

1366
01:16:18,008 --> 01:16:20,200
If I said it's okay, if you 
disagree with me, but you can't 

1367
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:23,100
act on that disagreement. 
Excellent. 

1368
01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:25,100
I'm even more dizzy now. 
Like how can we be? 

1369
01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:29,300
There should be three months 
down the road and I said, okay. 

1370
01:16:29,300 --> 01:16:32,500
So if you like The Surge, you 
like your less urge. 

1371
01:16:32,500 --> 01:16:35,300
No problem. 
Then you should take out your 

1372
01:16:35,300 --> 01:16:37,900
checkbook. 
And you should write. 

1373
01:16:37,900 --> 01:16:40,500
I think he goes by Don as well. 
Back then, Donnie Rumsfeld. 

1374
01:16:40,500 --> 01:16:42,900
He is my money because I'm so 
damn with the surge. 

1375
01:16:42,900 --> 01:16:46,000
Here's my cash, right? 
Because you should be free to 

1376
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:50,900
support the surge. 
So they the money if you like 

1377
01:16:51,700 --> 01:16:53,700
clearly since you have already 
agreed. 

1378
01:16:54,900 --> 01:16:58,000
That I am free not only to 
disagree with you, but to act 

1379
01:16:58,100 --> 01:17:00,100
tangibly on that disagreement, 
because there would be no right 

1380
01:17:00,100 --> 01:17:03,800
to disagreement. 
Otherwise, I'm allowed to not 

1381
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:07,400
write a check to Donnie for 
something I disagree with. 

1382
01:17:09,300 --> 01:17:13,600
And there was a pause and, you 
know, somebody's brain hangs in 

1383
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:15,700
the balance, you know, like a 
pendulum, you know, a big wet 

1384
01:17:15,700 --> 01:17:20,400
thing going back and forth, you 
know, reason propaganda, really 

1385
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:22,900
needs and propaganda. 
It's like one of those claw 

1386
01:17:22,900 --> 01:17:25,800
things where you're trying to 
get something out of the, come 

1387
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:28,400
on Fall here for here. 
Actually, they're there. 

1388
01:17:30,500 --> 01:17:36,100
So She finally said well, yeah. 
Yeah, that makes sense. 

1389
01:17:36,100 --> 01:17:38,900
If you're free to disagree with 
the surge, then you're free to 

1390
01:17:38,900 --> 01:17:43,500
not pay for it, right? 
And shockingly that was it. 

1391
01:17:44,300 --> 01:17:46,600
Now that doesn't teach her 
volunteerism. 

1392
01:17:46,900 --> 01:17:49,200
Obviously, it doesn't teach her.
The theory doesn't teach her all

1393
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:53,500
of this lovely stuff that we sit
and dream and reason about and 

1394
01:17:53,700 --> 01:17:57,400
think about and talk about and 
read about But what it does do 

1395
01:17:57,400 --> 01:18:01,300
is it puts her on the defensive 
and this is the core of the 

1396
01:18:01,300 --> 01:18:02,900
against me argument. 
Right? 

1397
01:18:02,900 --> 01:18:04,200
So the welfare state will do 
that one. 

1398
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:06,600
Then will do anything that you 
guys want to talk about. 

1399
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:08,900
Because I know it's really tough
to get a room for a Libertarian.

1400
01:18:08,900 --> 01:18:13,200
So, grab a mic. 
It's but if you can somehow find

1401
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:16,500
it within yourself to someone to
speak, well, we'll have some 

1402
01:18:16,500 --> 01:18:18,300
fun. 
So the welfare state. 

1403
01:18:18,300 --> 01:18:19,700
Okay, so someone says the 
welfare states. 

1404
01:18:19,700 --> 01:18:24,300
Good, right? 
So I say, well, I respect your 

1405
01:18:24,300 --> 01:18:27,600
decision. 
You'd like the well for a steak 

1406
01:18:27,700 --> 01:18:29,900
I respect. 
I would never dream of using 

1407
01:18:29,900 --> 01:18:33,400
violence to prevent you from 
acting upon your beliefs, your 

1408
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:35,800
values, your virtues. 
What you consider to be moral. 

1409
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:38,500
Just right and good. 
Never dream of it. 

1410
01:18:39,300 --> 01:18:47,600
Gun is safely in its holster. 
Will you Accord me the same 

1411
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:50,500
respect that? 
I am according you? 

1412
01:18:52,100 --> 01:18:57,600
Am I free to disagree with you 
without violence? 

1413
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:01,200
Am I free to not like the 
welfare state? 

1414
01:19:02,500 --> 01:19:04,700
Without you thinking I should be
thrown in jail. 

1415
01:19:05,300 --> 01:19:09,800
Am I free? 
To disagree one-on-one in 

1416
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:11,800
person. 
So James, I'm actually curious 

1417
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:16,800
of what, how did you come to 
call yourself an anarchist? 

1418
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:18,600
I know it's been a long journey 
for you. 

1419
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:21,600
And eventually you got to the 
point of being an anarchist. 

1420
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:24,400
How did you get to that point? 
I prefer the term voluntary us 

1421
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:26,700
actually and it's one of those 
cases where the more clearly you

1422
01:19:26,700 --> 01:19:29,100
understand the problem, the more
clearly you can articulate the 

1423
01:19:29,100 --> 01:19:32,000
solution. 
So as obviously throughout 

1424
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:34,100
anyone who's seen the Corbett 
report in my journey over the 

1425
01:19:34,100 --> 01:19:36,100
past eight years, trying to 
document all the things I 

1426
01:19:36,100 --> 01:19:39,300
document, its Was really The 
Logical inevitable outcome of 

1427
01:19:39,300 --> 01:19:41,000
that. 
Because once you identify the 

1428
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:45,200
problem of concentrated power in
entities, like these governments

1429
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:47,500
which are always trying to 
accumulate more and more power 

1430
01:19:47,500 --> 01:19:49,900
and trying to obviously send it 
further and further up the 

1431
01:19:49,900 --> 01:19:52,100
pyramid. 
The only counteract 

1432
01:19:52,100 --> 01:19:56,000
counteraction to that is to 
decentralize 2D to localize to 

1433
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:58,700
to bring the power back down the
pyramid, back down to the 

1434
01:19:58,700 --> 01:20:01,700
individuals and there is no 
statist philosophy that can 

1435
01:20:01,700 --> 01:20:05,400
accompany and accomplish that. 
So I use as the basis for my 

1436
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:07,200
sort of Ethics ethical 
principle. 

1437
01:20:07,300 --> 01:20:10,100
So my basic ethical principle 
for the construction of any 

1438
01:20:10,100 --> 01:20:13,300
political ideologies should be 
that, the only valid basis for 

1439
01:20:13,300 --> 01:20:16,600
human interaction amongst adults
is voluntary participation. 

1440
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:19,800
And once you've got that as a 
base, I don't care what you 

1441
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:21,300
build on that base. 
You can have your 

1442
01:20:21,300 --> 01:20:27,000
anarcho-syndicalist, your 
community, or your free market, 

1443
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:29,100
libertarian Community, or 
whatever it is. 

1444
01:20:29,100 --> 01:20:31,400
As long as it's based on 
voluntary participation. 

1445
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:34,300
That's all that matters. 
And I think that is the answer 

1446
01:20:34,300 --> 01:20:37,100
to the problem set that were 
documenting her and how do we 

1447
01:20:37,100 --> 01:20:39,200
get? 
Is prohibited that it can do 

1448
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:43,000
almost anything it wants. 
In fact, of course, the federal 

1449
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:47,300
government is limited, if the 
Constitution means what it says 

1450
01:20:47,300 --> 01:20:51,500
unless it's this sneaky 
majoritarian document intended 

1451
01:20:51,500 --> 01:20:55,200
to create to tell at arianism 
when we have a dictator like 

1452
01:20:55,200 --> 01:21:00,000
Lincoln or Franklin Roosevelt or
even his cousin Theodore or the 

1453
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:02,500
guys that have been in the White
House in the past couple of 

1454
01:21:02,500 --> 01:21:04,700
terms. 
You'll have to decide for 

1455
01:21:04,700 --> 01:21:06,400
yourself. 
Whether the Constitution was 

1456
01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:09,600
written to permit that That, but
we know that at least, as you 

1457
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:12,300
read, it is one of limited 
powers. 

1458
01:21:13,500 --> 01:21:15,600
Do you remember Reagan's? 
First inaugural address? 

1459
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:19,600
I know you do. 
Where is my microphone? 

1460
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:24,300
All right in Reagan's first. 
Inaugural address in the third 

1461
01:21:24,300 --> 01:21:27,500
paragraph. 
I know you remember what he 

1462
01:21:27,500 --> 01:21:34,400
said. 
Do you remember what he said? 

1463
01:21:35,300 --> 01:21:39,800
The states formed the federal 
government and not the other way

1464
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:44,000
round. 
Now if your humble temporary 

1465
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:49,300
Professor had been the author of
that speech, I would have added 

1466
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:53,100
and the power which the states 
gave to the central government. 

1467
01:21:53,100 --> 01:22:11,700
They can take back. 
They can even know if I 

1468
01:22:23,500 --> 01:22:25,300
forgive me. 
Those of you who are my 

1469
01:22:25,300 --> 01:22:28,000
generation. 
This is the smartest guy in the 

1470
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:31,000
room. 
They can. 

1471
01:22:31,100 --> 01:22:33,800
Even notify what the federal 
government does. 

1472
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:38,500
As you know, a concept readily 
accepted articulated in the 

1473
01:22:38,500 --> 01:22:41,900
Declaration of Independence, if 
we can separate from Great 

1474
01:22:41,900 --> 01:22:44,900
Britain, why can't the part of 
the country that hates the 

1475
01:22:44,900 --> 01:22:48,100
central government separate from
the rest and make sense to, you 

1476
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:49,500
makes perfect sense. 
Okay. 

1477
01:22:49,500 --> 01:22:52,400
Anybody else want to throw 
anything out at us? 

1478
01:22:53,600 --> 01:23:10,500
Sir, 
do you hear me denying anything?

1479
01:23:22,500 --> 01:23:26,600
Oh, I thought there was going to
be going to be a follow-up. 

1480
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:31,400
And what I want to do is just 
say a couple of things briefly 

1481
01:23:31,500 --> 01:23:36,200
about so-called fiscal stimulus 
and then monetary stimulus. 

1482
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:39,900
In fact, I think I'll actually 
do them in reverse order to show

1483
01:23:39,900 --> 01:23:42,500
that, of course, we should 
expect these things are only 

1484
01:23:42,500 --> 01:23:44,500
going to prolong the agony of a 
depression. 

1485
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:50,300
Now for the monetary part, let 
me not assume that everybody in 

1486
01:23:50,300 --> 01:23:51,900
the room. 
Knows Austrian business cycle 

1487
01:23:51,900 --> 01:23:53,300
Theory. 
A lot of people are coming to 

1488
01:23:53,300 --> 01:23:56,900
this for the first time in 
recent months or in the past 18 

1489
01:23:56,900 --> 01:23:58,500
months. 
Two years. 

1490
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:02,100
And so I don't want to assume 
that, you know, that or if I say

1491
01:24:02,100 --> 01:24:03,700
they've been misallocation of 
resources. 

1492
01:24:03,700 --> 01:24:06,900
How did that happen? 
So let me give the really, 

1493
01:24:06,900 --> 01:24:09,500
really stripped down Reader's 
Digest version. 

1494
01:24:09,700 --> 01:24:11,700
And for those of you in the room
who are experts, who are saying,

1495
01:24:11,700 --> 01:24:13,500
I can't believe he didn't talk 
about the. 

1496
01:24:13,500 --> 01:24:16,200
Well, you're right. 
And I deserve that rebuke, but 

1497
01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:19,200
I'll happily take an extra 15 
minutes, but Doug French will. 

1498
01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:20,900
Never let me speak at one of 
these again. 

1499
01:24:20,900 --> 01:24:23,700
So, so just please, just be 
patient with me. 

1500
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:26,300
Let's just give the the stripped
down version. 

1501
01:24:27,500 --> 01:24:30,300
Basically goes like this. 
What Hayek was arguing in his 

1502
01:24:30,300 --> 01:24:34,200
important writing in the 1930s 
was that interest rates actually

1503
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:37,400
play a role in the economy. 
They're not just arbitrary 

1504
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:40,800
numbers, they play a 
coordinating function and when 

1505
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:43,300
they are permitted to play this 
coordinating function, what they

1506
01:24:43,300 --> 01:24:45,600
do is they coordinate production
across time. 

1507
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:49,700
So that is to say when we save 
more and that an interest rates,

1508
01:24:49,700 --> 01:24:53,600
consequently decline. 
That is the very time that it 

1509
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:58,300
makes sense for businesses to 
produce goods and to Engage in 

1510
01:24:58,300 --> 01:25:00,700
projects that are going to bear 
fruit in the future. 

1511
01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:03,500
Because when we save more were 
basically saying, I'm going to 

1512
01:25:03,500 --> 01:25:06,000
consume this portion of my 
income in the future. 

1513
01:25:06,100 --> 01:25:09,800
Well, that's the future that 
businesses are are investing 

1514
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:11,600
for. 
And why are they investing now? 

1515
01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:14,600
Because the interest rates are 
low and there and the longer 

1516
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:18,500
term their their production 
project is the more interest 

1517
01:25:18,500 --> 01:25:19,400
rate sensitive. 
It is. 

1518
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:22,500
So it's going to give a 
disproportionate stimulus to 

1519
01:25:22,700 --> 01:25:24,700
longer-term types of 
Investments. 

1520
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:28,200
So the interest rate, then 
coordinates this I desire to 

1521
01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:31,400
consume in the present versus 
the future and businesses 

1522
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:34,600
production processes oriented 
toward the present versus the 

1523
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:37,200
future. 
Secondly, the very fact that I'm

1524
01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:40,700
saving that I've earned my money
and have not returned back into 

1525
01:25:40,700 --> 01:25:44,000
the economy, to take that money 
and claim all the resources to, 

1526
01:25:44,008 --> 01:25:45,700
which, in a sense. 
I'm entitled. 

1527
01:25:45,700 --> 01:25:48,100
I'm actually leaving some of 
those resources out there in the

1528
01:25:48,100 --> 01:25:50,200
economy. 
Well, my deferral of 

1529
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:53,700
consumption, my releasing of 
resources into the economy, 

1530
01:25:53,900 --> 01:25:57,300
provides the material, 
wherewithal to see all the new 

1531
01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:00,500
Business projects undertaken by 
investors through to completion.

1532
01:26:00,900 --> 01:26:03,500
So again, now, the interest rate
is coordinating this as well. 

1533
01:26:03,500 --> 01:26:07,900
The in effect the supply of real
saved resources in the economy. 

1534
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:11,700
And what Hayek said is that when
you tamper with the structure of

1535
01:26:11,700 --> 01:26:15,000
interest rates, as the market 
sets them, you are introducing 

1536
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:17,900
discoordination into this 
coordinating structure. 

1537
01:26:18,300 --> 01:26:21,500
So now, if the Central Bank, 
like the Federal Reserve simply 

1538
01:26:21,500 --> 01:26:24,400
says, we're going to force 
interest rates down through our 

1539
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:27,300
open market operations. 
The problem here. 

1540
01:26:27,500 --> 01:26:30,300
Is that in this case? 
The public has not necessarily 

1541
01:26:30,300 --> 01:26:32,400
indicated. 
They want to consume in the 

1542
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:34,100
future. 
They want to consume right now. 

1543
01:26:34,100 --> 01:26:36,600
They might want to consume even 
more right now, but yet 

1544
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:38,900
businesses are still being 
encouraged to engage in 

1545
01:26:38,900 --> 01:26:41,300
long-term investment. 
So people are demanding more of 

1546
01:26:41,300 --> 01:26:44,800
existing Goods right now, but 
get investors are being misled 

1547
01:26:44,900 --> 01:26:47,400
into engaging. 
In long-term product development

1548
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:51,100
for new products in the future. 
It's a Time mismatch likewise. 

1549
01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:54,900
If just because Ben Bernanke or 
Alan Greenspan says, hey, we're 

1550
01:26:54,900 --> 01:26:57,300
going to force interest rates 
down that doesn't release any 

1551
01:26:57,300 --> 01:26:59,000
more. 
Resource into the economy. 

1552
01:26:59,100 --> 01:27:02,400
So you have an unchanged 
resource pool to fund a whole 

1553
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:04,100
bunch of new investment 
projects. 

1554
01:27:04,100 --> 01:27:06,900
Well, how you gonna do that? 
They can't all be completed. 

1555
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:08,700
So there's going to be a bus 
that comes. 

1556
01:27:08,900 --> 01:27:11,900
So this is the super duper 
really fast overview with us. 

1557
01:27:11,900 --> 01:27:15,300
So that's why simply saying, 
let's create more money and 

1558
01:27:15,300 --> 01:27:18,800
let's jolt that money into the 
banking system and keep interest

1559
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:21,200
rates down. 
That's not a solution to a 

1560
01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:22,600
depression. 
That's the cause of the 

1561
01:27:22,608 --> 01:27:24,800
depression. 
That's what gets people on to 

1562
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:27,300
these unsustainable investment 
trajectories. 

1563
01:27:27,500 --> 01:27:30,600
And if you continue to do it, 
all you're doing is encouraging 

1564
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:34,400
people to continue building 
things that ultimately can't be 

1565
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:37,600
finished or won't be profitable 
or there won't be sufficient. 

1566
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:42,200
Consumer demand to in effect 
rationalize these Investments at

1567
01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:46,100
the end. 
So that's a super duper duper 

1568
01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:48,300
stripped-down version of the 
theory. 

1569
01:27:49,100 --> 01:27:51,800
So there are implications here. 
But what you should do during a 

1570
01:27:51,808 --> 01:27:54,300
depression again, stop the money
creation. 

1571
01:27:54,700 --> 01:27:57,800
Now, mises example that he uses 
in human action of the Master 

1572
01:27:57,800 --> 01:28:01,200
builder who's building a house, 
but he's under a misleading 

1573
01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:02,600
impression of how many bricks he
has. 

1574
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:05,400
He thinks he's got 20% more 
bricks and he has and let's say 

1575
01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:08,300
he can't buy anymore. 
He starts building the house, 

1576
01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:10,300
but he's building a different 
kind of house than he would have

1577
01:28:10,300 --> 01:28:12,500
built. 
If he had known the real supply 

1578
01:28:12,500 --> 01:28:14,900
of save resources in his 
micro-economy. 

1579
01:28:15,400 --> 01:28:18,400
So he's building a house that he
won't be able to finish. 

1580
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:23,300
So if we say to him, well, in 
fact, let's think of this way. 

1581
01:28:23,900 --> 01:28:25,900
What would be the best way to 
get this Builder out of his 

1582
01:28:25,900 --> 01:28:27,300
predicament? 
It would be to alert him. 

1583
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:29,500
Him, you're building a house 
that you won't be able to finish

1584
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:31,600
and alert him as soon as 
possible. 

1585
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:34,100
Don't wait till he's at the last
brick and say, oh, that was the 

1586
01:28:34,108 --> 01:28:37,000
last brick, because now he's got
a demolish, the whole building. 

1587
01:28:37,100 --> 01:28:38,200
Now. 
He squandered all those 

1588
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,100
resources. 
Now, he's wasted all that labor 

1589
01:28:40,100 --> 01:28:42,600
time and he has made society 
poorer. 

1590
01:28:43,100 --> 01:28:46,800
So we see first of all from this
example that the boom period the

1591
01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:48,600
period where he's building the 
house. 

1592
01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:50,200
He's got a point, everything 
looks great. 

1593
01:28:50,200 --> 01:28:54,000
That's where the damage is done.
The recession period when he 

1594
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:56,100
realizes. 
Whoa, whoa, I'm doing something 

1595
01:28:56,100 --> 01:28:58,900
unsustainable. 
I'm Wasting resources. 

1596
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:03,500
I'm wasting labor time. 
That's the return to health, and

1597
01:29:03,500 --> 01:29:05,800
so likewise. 
Now, let's think of that in 

1598
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:09,200
terms of the economy as a whole,
if producers are engaged in 

1599
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:13,500
projects, the economy as a whole
is on a series of investment 

1600
01:29:13,500 --> 01:29:16,000
trajectories that are 
unsustainable in the long run. 

1601
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:19,700
It's better that it find that 
out right now and that it not 

1602
01:29:19,700 --> 01:29:21,700
find it out in the distant 
future. 

1603
01:29:22,600 --> 01:29:26,200
So in effect, the analogy I've 
used is when people say the 

1604
01:29:26,200 --> 01:29:28,600
solution is let's Pump more 
money in the economy. 

1605
01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:29,900
Let's put interest rates. 
Way down. 

1606
01:29:29,900 --> 01:29:33,000
Let's put them down to zero. 
In fact, zero is too high at 

1607
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:35,800
what we're doing, even hearing 
from some people, zero is too 

1608
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:37,900
hot, whatever, whatever that 
means, whatever they wanted to 

1609
01:29:37,900 --> 01:29:40,800
do with that. 
But when they say that, what 

1610
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:43,500
they're really saying is that 
the way out of the 

1611
01:29:43,500 --> 01:29:46,200
master-builders, Dilemma is that
we should just get this guy 

1612
01:29:46,200 --> 01:29:49,200
drunk, just licking them up. 
So he doesn't notice the 

1613
01:29:49,200 --> 01:29:51,700
dwindling supply of bricks. 
He just keeps on, he's having a 

1614
01:29:51,700 --> 01:29:55,600
great old time, but does that 
hold off the bust? 

1615
01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:58,900
The bust is inevitable? 
So likewise by saying, we all 

1616
01:29:58,900 --> 01:30:01,400
just keep pouring in more money,
that doesn't change the fact 

1617
01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:03,100
that you're going to 
unsustainable structure. 

1618
01:30:03,300 --> 01:30:08,400
And when Alan Greenspan did 
exactly this in 2001 when he 

1619
01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:10,500
started, you know, with all 
these rate cuts and we're going 

1620
01:30:10,500 --> 01:30:13,800
to just get things going again, 
and he refused to let that 

1621
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:17,300
recession take its course and 
that healthy process, whereby. 

1622
01:30:17,300 --> 01:30:20,900
These unsustainable Investments 
are stopped and they stopped 

1623
01:30:20,900 --> 01:30:23,500
impoverishing us. 
And those resources are 

1624
01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:25,700
reallocated into sustainable 
project. 

1625
01:30:25,700 --> 01:30:29,100
He wouldn't let that happen. 
And It's the first recession on 

1626
01:30:29,100 --> 01:30:33,100
record in which housing starts 
did not decline and it's right 

1627
01:30:33,100 --> 01:30:35,800
at that time that people 
therefore drew the false 

1628
01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:38,200
conclusion, the FED fueled 
conclusion. 

1629
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:40,700
That you know, everything goes 
bust in a recession apparently 

1630
01:30:40,700 --> 01:30:44,200
except housing housing prices. 
Never go down a house, is the 

1631
01:30:44,208 --> 01:30:46,600
best investment you can make. 
You should make a living 

1632
01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:48,500
flipping houses because that's 
an easy way to make money. 

1633
01:30:48,700 --> 01:30:51,600
All those myths, get started 
right at that time because 

1634
01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:54,700
Greenspan is trying to hold off 
the recession by keeping the 

1635
01:30:54,700 --> 01:30:58,100
master builder liquored up, but 
now, the master Builder is on 

1636
01:30:58,100 --> 01:31:01,900
the last brick and so the 
recession is all the worse. 

1637
01:31:02,200 --> 01:31:05,300
So we shouldn't look back at 
1920 and say what a big 

1638
01:31:05,300 --> 01:31:08,800
surprise, the FED didn't try to 
keep the bubble going and yet 

1639
01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:10,400
somehow the economy, get out of 
it. 

1640
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:12,500
No. 
No, it's because the FED didn't 

1641
01:31:12,500 --> 01:31:14,500
try to do that. 
That the economy recovered. 

1642
01:31:14,500 --> 01:31:17,900
It's precisely for that reason 
that the economy recovered. 

1643
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:29,500
Relations to fall. 
I tend to toggle in my own self 

1644
01:31:29,500 --> 01:31:32,300
description between liberal, 
which I think is actually the 

1645
01:31:32,300 --> 01:31:35,600
historically, accurate phrase 
and Annika switch to me 

1646
01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:39,900
represents, you know, my ideal 
of my conviction that that 

1647
01:31:39,900 --> 01:31:43,300
Society can manage this health 
better than the state can manage

1648
01:31:43,300 --> 01:31:45,000
Society. 
If you can get there, 

1649
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:48,500
intellectually to imagine a 
world without the state and and 

1650
01:31:48,500 --> 01:31:51,100
have a conviction that things 
will be perfect. 

1651
01:31:51,100 --> 01:31:53,100
But at least I'll be always 
improving. 

1652
01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:58,000
We have a model for correcting, 
our errors and And gradually 

1653
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:00,600
building a better Society for 
everybody. 

1654
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:03,400
That's a big moment in life. 
And I don't think you're ever 

1655
01:32:03,400 --> 01:32:06,900
fully step back from that. 
Hey guys won't care because at 

1656
01:32:06,900 --> 01:32:11,100
least socialism is inherently 
more morally altruistic than the

1657
01:32:11,100 --> 01:32:14,000
evil greedy. 
Capitalist warmongering seen in 

1658
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:16,600
the west greed. 
What's more greedy than wanting 

1659
01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:18,900
to take from someone else. 
Something that you haven't 

1660
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:22,600
earned unlike capitalism free 
enterprise, which can only occur

1661
01:32:22,600 --> 01:32:24,700
truly through voluntary 
transaction. 

1662
01:32:24,900 --> 01:32:28,600
Socialism can only Only occur at
gunpoint. 

1663
01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:31,500
That's what it comes down to. 
If you don't pay your taxes, 

1664
01:32:31,500 --> 01:32:34,900
once you get through the IRS and
the auditing and the lawyers, 

1665
01:32:34,900 --> 01:32:39,500
and the pr stunts, people make, 
you give the government, your 

1666
01:32:39,500 --> 01:32:42,600
money increasing amount of your 
money, the more successful you 

1667
01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:48,300
are or they send in scary men 
with guns to take you away page 

1668
01:32:48,300 --> 01:32:51,700
29 from the most dangerous 
Superstition by Larkin, Rose. 

1669
01:32:52,800 --> 01:32:56,600
Perhaps most telling is that if 
you suggest to the average, 

1670
01:32:56,700 --> 01:32:59,300
Person that maybe God does not 
exist. 

1671
01:32:59,500 --> 01:33:03,500
He will likely respond with less
emotion and hostility then if 

1672
01:33:03,500 --> 01:33:07,800
you bring up the idea of life 
without government this 

1673
01:33:07,800 --> 01:33:12,200
indicates, which religion people
are more deeply emotionally 

1674
01:33:12,200 --> 01:33:17,100
attached to and which religion 
they actually believe in more 

1675
01:33:17,100 --> 01:33:19,100
firmly. 
Are you for gun control? 

1676
01:33:19,400 --> 01:33:21,300
Yeah. 
Who should control the guns? 

1677
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:26,100
Who should control the guns? 
Probably the government you 

1678
01:33:26,100 --> 01:33:29,000
trust. 
The Government know, you don't 

1679
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:31,500
trust the government, but you 
want them to control the gun 

1680
01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:38,000
others. 
What is libertarianism? 

1681
01:33:38,700 --> 01:33:41,700
Well the way I see, 
libertarianism first. 

1682
01:33:41,700 --> 01:33:44,100
I have to say that if you get 10
Libertarians in a room, you're 

1683
01:33:44,100 --> 01:33:47,100
going to get 11 different views 
as though it libertarianism is. 

1684
01:33:47,700 --> 01:33:51,400
It's sort of like hurting 
hurting cats or something. 

1685
01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:56,200
So my own view is that 
libertarianism is either a 

1686
01:33:56,200 --> 01:33:59,300
two-edged sword or two sides of 
the same coin. 

1687
01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:02,500
And on one side of the coin is 
the non-aggression principle. 

1688
01:34:02,500 --> 01:34:04,500
And on the other side of the 
coin is private property. 

1689
01:34:06,300 --> 01:34:10,500
The non-aggression principle is 
pretty non-controversial. 

1690
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:13,400
What one says is, keep your 
bloody mitts to yourself. 

1691
01:34:13,900 --> 01:34:16,400
Don't grab other people or their
property, without their 

1692
01:34:16,400 --> 01:34:19,200
permission. 
Now, if you ask the, the next 

1693
01:34:19,200 --> 01:34:22,800
hundred people that walk down 
the street, do you favor murder 

1694
01:34:22,800 --> 01:34:24,900
rape and theft, you know, 
they'll say of course, knives. 

1695
01:34:24,900 --> 01:34:26,600
And even if they do, they won't 
admit it. 

1696
01:34:30,500 --> 01:34:33,800
But the difference between 
libertarianism and other people 

1697
01:34:33,800 --> 01:34:35,700
is that we're really serious 
about that. 

1698
01:34:35,700 --> 01:34:39,400
We apply it to everything. 
We apply it to other people. 

1699
01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:43,300
Other institutions including 
government, the way, I see, 

1700
01:34:43,300 --> 01:34:46,200
libertarianism. 
The essence of it is 

1701
01:34:46,200 --> 01:34:50,000
anarcho-capitalism because the 
government itself is a violator 

1702
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:53,400
of the non-aggression principle 
because it it tells people you 

1703
01:34:53,400 --> 01:34:55,400
have to pay taxes whether you 
like it or not. 

1704
01:34:55,900 --> 01:34:57,800
And then they're the these 
excuses. 

1705
01:34:57,800 --> 01:35:02,000
Well, If you live here, you 
know, you've implicitly agreed. 

1706
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:04,100
I didn't implicit agree to 
anything like that. 

1707
01:35:04,100 --> 01:35:07,600
I never signed any Constitution,
or any agreement that other 

1708
01:35:07,600 --> 01:35:10,000
people can take my money and 
give it to other people. 

1709
01:35:10,300 --> 01:35:13,500
It's just that if anyone else 
were to do it and not calling 

1710
01:35:13,500 --> 01:35:15,900
themselves government. 
We would know, clearly that it's

1711
01:35:15,900 --> 01:35:17,800
a violation of the 
non-aggression principle. 

1712
01:35:18,800 --> 01:35:23,100
But somehow government is free 
of this problem. 

1713
01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:27,800
The way I see, libertarianism. 
There are like three or four 

1714
01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:28,900
stages. 
The highest is 

1715
01:35:28,900 --> 01:35:32,000
anarcho-capitalism which applies
the non-aggression principle to 

1716
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:34,700
everything with no excuses. 
No exceptions, including 

1717
01:35:34,700 --> 01:35:37,900
government. 
The second one level down would 

1718
01:35:37,900 --> 01:35:41,600
be menarche ISM or minimal 
government libertarianism, which

1719
01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:46,200
says okay, there is a role for 
the government and the role for 

1720
01:35:46,200 --> 01:35:49,900
the government is to protect 
persons and property and to that

1721
01:35:49,900 --> 01:35:50,800
end. 
There are only three 

1722
01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:54,000
institutions that are Justified 
armies to keep foreign bad guy. 

1723
01:35:54,200 --> 01:35:59,000
All of us police to keep local 
bad guys off of us and courts to

1724
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:00,700
tell who the good guys, and who 
the bad guys? 

1725
01:36:00,700 --> 01:36:05,200
Are people associated with the 
First anarcho-capitalism with 

1726
01:36:05,200 --> 01:36:08,100
the Murray rothbard. 
For example, people associated 

1727
01:36:08,100 --> 01:36:11,300
with the second, one would be on
ran and Ron Paul. 

1728
01:36:12,100 --> 01:36:15,200
Then the third one a little bit 
below, that would be classical 

1729
01:36:15,200 --> 01:36:18,400
liberals, who would say, yes, so
we have to have government and 

1730
01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:21,500
it should include those three 
functions, but it has a few 

1731
01:36:21,500 --> 01:36:23,700
other functions as well public 
goods. 

1732
01:36:23,700 --> 01:36:25,900
And And, and two or three other 
things. 

1733
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:30,700
I'm not sure who I would put in 
there, maybe Robert nozick, and 

1734
01:36:30,700 --> 01:36:34,600
then fourth after that would be 
sort of free Enterprises, but 

1735
01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:38,100
who make a lot of compromises 
and who say, yes, we have to 

1736
01:36:38,100 --> 01:36:40,200
have the government do this. 
We have to have government do 

1737
01:36:40,200 --> 01:36:42,500
that, but they talked a good 
friend, a prize line. 

1738
01:36:43,200 --> 01:36:46,300
I would include Milton Friedman 
and Friedrich Hayek here. 

1739
01:36:46,300 --> 01:36:48,900
In that category. 
They make a lot of exceptions, 

1740
01:36:48,900 --> 01:36:52,300
and I think one of my lectures 
upcoming is an attack on Milton 

1741
01:36:52,300 --> 01:36:56,100
Friedman and cosine Buchanan, 
who I would also put in that 

1742
01:36:56,100 --> 01:36:59,900
category. 
Okay, so that's the first side 

1743
01:36:59,900 --> 01:37:01,100
of the coin. 
The first side of the 

1744
01:37:01,100 --> 01:37:03,400
libertarian coin. 
The non-aggression principle, 

1745
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:06,700
but you need the other side of 
the coin. 

1746
01:37:06,700 --> 01:37:10,900
Also, because suppose I go and 
grab sunjai's wristwatch. 

1747
01:37:10,900 --> 01:37:12,800
He's sitting in the first row 
and I just grabbed his wrist 

1748
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:18,300
watch, and he smacks me. 
Well, did I commit aggression? 

1749
01:37:18,300 --> 01:37:21,200
And he was Defensive or not? 
It depends upon who owns that 

1750
01:37:21,200 --> 01:37:24,400
wristwatch, if he stole it from 
me yesterday, and now I'm 

1751
01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:26,200
repossessing it. 
Then I'm the good guy and he's 

1752
01:37:26,200 --> 01:37:28,900
the bad guy on the other. 
And the reality is, I never met 

1753
01:37:28,900 --> 01:37:31,700
the man before, he didn't take 
his wristwatch. 

1754
01:37:31,700 --> 01:37:34,400
He didn't take mine, and if I 
take his wristwatch on the 

1755
01:37:34,400 --> 01:37:37,600
aggressor, so we have to have a 
theory of private property 

1756
01:37:37,600 --> 01:37:39,100
rights. 
Otherwise, we can't tell who the

1757
01:37:39,108 --> 01:37:41,100
aggressor is, and who the 
aggressor isn't. 

1758
01:37:42,400 --> 01:37:47,900
Well, the libertarian view of 
Homestead property rights is 

1759
01:37:47,900 --> 01:37:49,800
based on homesteading. 
This is John Locke. 

1760
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:52,900
This is a Murray rothbard Hans. 
Hoppy as made a magnificent 

1761
01:37:52,900 --> 01:37:54,800
contribution to this Theory as 
well. 

1762
01:37:55,300 --> 01:38:00,400
And the idea here is you mix 
your labor with the land and 

1763
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:04,300
there are continuing problems. 
How long do you have to 

1764
01:38:04,300 --> 01:38:07,000
Homestead? 
How Deeply how intensively can 

1765
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:09,000
you put one corn plant? 
Every foot? 

1766
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:11,700
Every square foot every square 
yard, every Square. 

1767
01:38:11,900 --> 01:38:16,700
Your every acre, every hectare 
every square mile Watt and 

1768
01:38:16,700 --> 01:38:19,500
Murray rothbard used to say, 
well, it depends upon the 

1769
01:38:19,500 --> 01:38:23,600
culture east of the Mississippi 
and in the u.s. 

1770
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:26,700
You have to form more 
intensively, because it's a more

1771
01:38:26,700 --> 01:38:28,800
fertile area, west of the 
Mississippi. 

1772
01:38:29,900 --> 01:38:32,700
You don't have to form as 
intensively. 

1773
01:38:32,700 --> 01:38:37,700
Okay, so you form some land, and
I domesticate a wild cow, and 

1774
01:38:37,700 --> 01:38:41,400
now I have a cow and I get milk 
from the cow, and you have 

1775
01:38:41,400 --> 01:38:43,900
wheat, From your form and now we
trade. 

1776
01:38:44,200 --> 01:38:46,300
So this would be another 
legitimate title. 

1777
01:38:46,300 --> 01:38:48,300
Transfer one would be 
homesteading. 

1778
01:38:48,300 --> 01:38:50,800
Another would be barter or 
voluntary, trade anything 

1779
01:38:50,800 --> 01:38:53,900
voluntary, anything peaceful as 
Leonard, read used to saying. 

1780
01:38:55,100 --> 01:38:58,300
So what are the other legitimate
title transfers beside border? 

1781
01:38:58,300 --> 01:39:01,500
While this purchase, there's a 
gifts, there's a gambling, 

1782
01:39:01,900 --> 01:39:06,100
things like that. 
So you trace back all property 

1783
01:39:06,200 --> 01:39:09,600
to that to that end. 
And one of the radical things 

1784
01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:14,300
I've done is a thing called. 
What's the word for losing? 

1785
01:39:14,300 --> 01:39:19,700
My marbles here, reparations? 
What about blacks who were? 

1786
01:39:20,200 --> 01:39:22,300
Most of my examples are not 
going to come from Australia? 

1787
01:39:22,300 --> 01:39:24,900
Because I'm not as familiar with
that country, as I should be. 

1788
01:39:24,900 --> 01:39:27,300
But in the u.s. 
There were black people who were

1789
01:39:27,300 --> 01:39:30,700
enslaved and now, there are 
white people who have 

1790
01:39:30,700 --> 01:39:34,800
plantations in South Carolina 
and should this stuff be given 

1791
01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:37,300
to the black people. 
Well, Murray. 

1792
01:39:37,300 --> 01:39:40,500
Rothbard answer is possession. 
Is 9/10 of the law. 

1793
01:39:40,500 --> 01:39:44,300
We assume that whoever is the 
legal owner, is the rightful 

1794
01:39:44,300 --> 01:39:48,400
owner, and it's up to the other 
guy to prove that he isn't the 

1795
01:39:48,400 --> 01:39:51,500
rightful owner and could this be
done? 

1796
01:39:51,500 --> 01:39:53,700
Yes, so we can have reparations.
That. 

1797
01:39:54,300 --> 01:39:57,800
Wasn't that far back that we had
slavery in the United States 

1798
01:39:57,800 --> 01:40:01,500
only 150 years ago. 
And if there's evidence that a 

1799
01:40:01,500 --> 01:40:04,700
specific black person who now 
lives in the Bronx, his 

1800
01:40:04,700 --> 01:40:07,400
great-great grandfather, worked 
in the Plantation in South 

1801
01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:09,500
Carolina, and there's some sort 
of evidence. 

1802
01:40:09,800 --> 01:40:12,000
Well, he should get part of that
Plantation namely. 

1803
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:15,300
It shouldn't have been given to 
the the white slave master of 

1804
01:40:15,300 --> 01:40:17,100
sun. 
When the slavery ended. 

1805
01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:20,200
It should have been given to the
slaves as punishment for slavery

1806
01:40:20,200 --> 01:40:22,000
or kidnapping. 
Okay. 

1807
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:24,500
So here we have. 
What I see is sort of the 

1808
01:40:24,508 --> 01:40:27,600
Bedrock, the basic principles of
libertarianism the 

1809
01:40:27,600 --> 01:40:31,300
non-aggression principle. 
Private property rights based on

1810
01:40:31,300 --> 01:40:33,200
homesteading and voluntary 
trade. 

1811
01:40:33,500 --> 01:40:37,400
And then, the way I look at the 
world is through these 

1812
01:40:37,400 --> 01:40:40,800
eyeglasses of libertarianism. 
Any problem that comes up, I 

1813
01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:42,900
say, well, how does it match 
with the non-aggression 

1814
01:40:42,900 --> 01:40:44,700
principle? 
How does it match with the 

1815
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:49,200
homesteading private property? 
And then I might not have the 

1816
01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:50,800
answer. 
You have to do a little bit more

1817
01:40:50,800 --> 01:40:53,600
research and thinking about 
complicated issues. 

1818
01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:58,500
Like I don't know abortion or 
blackmail or something, which 

1819
01:40:58,600 --> 01:41:01,400
I'll be covering later on. 
My lectures, but at least you 

1820
01:41:01,400 --> 01:41:04,300
have some sort of grounding some
sort of background to approach 

1821
01:41:04,300 --> 01:41:06,100
the problem. 
And I think that this is very 

1822
01:41:06,100 --> 01:41:12,000
invaluable, very important for 
Libertarians to have Okay, what 

1823
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:13,700
I want. 
Well, how are you surviving? 

1824
01:41:13,700 --> 01:41:15,500
There? 
Is somebody who's you know, you 

1825
01:41:15,508 --> 01:41:19,100
know, on TV is a concern. 
So I might not have to deny self

1826
01:41:19,100 --> 01:41:23,000
is open to Donald Trump's ideas 
because there are a lot of 

1827
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:25,300
actors. 
I know many of them who are part

1828
01:41:25,300 --> 01:41:27,500
of the Hollywood conservative 
underground and they do not 

1829
01:41:27,500 --> 01:41:31,700
reveal mean right at all. 
I like I'm really an anarchist. 

1830
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:33,600
That's how that's how I look at 
it as comedians. 

1831
01:41:33,600 --> 01:41:35,300
I'd only anybody tell me what to
do. 

1832
01:41:35,300 --> 01:41:53,300
People still objected. 
Quite simply a statist, is 

1833
01:41:53,300 --> 01:41:55,500
somebody who believes in having 
a state. 

1834
01:41:55,500 --> 01:41:58,300
Basically, anybody who wants 
government government is the 

1835
01:41:58,300 --> 01:42:02,900
exercise of authority over a 
people or place, and that is 

1836
01:42:02,900 --> 01:42:06,500
basically the right to rule. 
It's not just the ability to 

1837
01:42:06,500 --> 01:42:08,900
control other people. 
Because most people have that in

1838
01:42:08,900 --> 01:42:10,800
one way or another, it's the 
right. 

1839
01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:12,600
It's the idea that certain 
people. 

1840
01:42:13,100 --> 01:42:16,300
It's legitimate for them to 
forcibly control others. 

1841
01:42:16,500 --> 01:42:21,600
Belief in government is a purely
faith based in They did belief. 

1842
01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:24,500
It doesn't actually make any 
sense in Practical terms or in 

1843
01:42:24,500 --> 01:42:28,400
evidence or Logic for years. 
I thought it was a really good 

1844
01:42:28,400 --> 01:42:33,300
analogy to compare government to
religion and only a few years 

1845
01:42:33,300 --> 01:42:35,000
ago. 
Did I realize it's not an 

1846
01:42:35,000 --> 01:42:38,300
analogy. 
It is a religion in every way. 

1847
01:42:38,500 --> 01:42:42,600
It has a superhuman day at 
government, that has rights that

1848
01:42:42,600 --> 01:42:45,800
Mortals don't. 
It isn't restricted by the rules

1849
01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:49,700
that apply to Mortals, IT issues
commands. 

1850
01:42:49,900 --> 01:42:52,600
And if you disobey Now you're a 
sinner and you deserve to be 

1851
01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:55,500
punished, the faithful, the true
believers. 

1852
01:42:55,500 --> 01:43:01,700
They have great faith in these 
bizarre rituals elections and 

1853
01:43:01,700 --> 01:43:05,800
legislation and appointments and
they dress up and then they say,

1854
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:08,300
Tada now, I represent 
government. 

1855
01:43:08,300 --> 01:43:11,600
I know I just look like a person
but I don't just have the rights

1856
01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:14,900
of a person because I represent 
the magical day at he called 

1857
01:43:14,900 --> 01:43:18,300
government and so I'm allowed to
demand your money and boss you 

1858
01:43:18,300 --> 01:43:20,700
around and hurt you. 
If you disobey me. 

1859
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:23,900
I'm acting on behalf of 
government and it has 

1860
01:43:23,900 --> 01:43:27,500
Commandments called laws. 
And these laws aren't just the 

1861
01:43:27,500 --> 01:43:30,800
threats of humans. 
They are decrees from something 

1862
01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:33,900
superhuman. 
And so all you good people out 

1863
01:43:33,900 --> 01:43:36,600
there, should bow to this day a 
day. 

1864
01:43:36,600 --> 01:43:39,700
And if you want the world fix, 
this is what you pray to. 

1865
01:43:39,900 --> 01:43:43,300
And we give you certain rituals 
of how to pray to it. 

1866
01:43:43,300 --> 01:43:46,800
And when you're supposed to pray
to it and pray to the god, to 

1867
01:43:46,800 --> 01:43:50,000
make the world, what you wish it
was and to save you from all the

1868
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:51,700
uncertainties. 
Of reality. 

1869
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:57,300
The doctrine people are taught 
is just patently, absurd, and a 

1870
01:43:57,300 --> 01:44:00,000
bunch of examples of that are 
like consent of the governed. 

1871
01:44:00,400 --> 01:44:03,400
There isn't such thing. 
If it's consent, it's voluntary.

1872
01:44:03,400 --> 01:44:06,500
If it's being governed. 
It's not the actual give an 

1873
01:44:06,500 --> 01:44:12,600
excuse is we have the right to 
rule you because you decided we 

1874
01:44:12,600 --> 01:44:16,200
did even if you didn't vote for 
us and even if you oppose 

1875
01:44:16,200 --> 01:44:19,800
everything we do to you and 
while they represent us. 

1876
01:44:19,800 --> 01:44:22,900
Okay, they And asked by doing a 
lot of things that we don't have

1877
01:44:22,900 --> 01:44:26,600
the right to do and they 
represent us by, bossing us 

1878
01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:29,200
around and taking our money. 
Like, I bet if I went to my 

1879
01:44:29,200 --> 01:44:31,400
neighbor and boss them around 
and took his money and said I'm 

1880
01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:35,100
representing you, he would say 
what what a stupid thing to say 

1881
01:44:35,400 --> 01:44:39,700
to me, the most insane is, we 
are the government, which you 

1882
01:44:39,700 --> 01:44:42,400
hear everywhere and I asked 
somebody, wait. 

1883
01:44:42,500 --> 01:44:45,300
Do you really not? 
Notice that there's a group of 

1884
01:44:45,300 --> 01:44:49,000
people over there? 
They issue threats and they call

1885
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:50,700
them laws and they issue demands
for money. 

1886
01:44:50,800 --> 01:44:54,400
Money and they call it taxes and
if you disobey they send men 

1887
01:44:54,400 --> 01:44:57,800
with guns to hurt you. 
Now, are you really incapable of

1888
01:44:57,800 --> 01:45:01,800
distinguishing between yourself 
and them? 

1889
01:45:02,800 --> 01:45:05,600
One of the, the biggest 
giveaways that the belief in 

1890
01:45:05,600 --> 01:45:11,200
government is a complete Blind. 
Faith religious believe is the 

1891
01:45:11,200 --> 01:45:13,800
way. 
People respond one, very easy 

1892
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:16,300
line of questioning is, can you 
give somebody else a right that 

1893
01:45:16,300 --> 01:45:18,100
you don't have? 
And everybody says, well, no, of

1894
01:45:18,100 --> 01:45:19,800
course not. 
Well, how about you? 

1895
01:45:19,800 --> 01:45:22,500
And your buddy? 
The two of you give someone else

1896
01:45:22,500 --> 01:45:26,400
a right that neither of you had.
Well, no and it only takes a 

1897
01:45:26,400 --> 01:45:28,600
couple more questions to get to 
work. 

1898
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:32,100
How did Congress get rights that
you don't have, they get 

1899
01:45:32,100 --> 01:45:35,300
emotional and they get angry or 
they get defensive or they run 

1900
01:45:35,300 --> 01:45:37,600
away. 
They didn't come to this belief 

1901
01:45:37,600 --> 01:45:42,000
through reasoning and evidence 
and logic, they came there by 

1902
01:45:42,200 --> 01:45:45,100
having a blind faith, belief 
smashed into their heads. 

1903
01:45:45,500 --> 01:45:47,600
Starting before they get even 
talk. 

1904
01:45:48,000 --> 01:45:50,200
It's just something. 
They were taught to believe that

1905
01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:53,400
there is this This thing called 
Authority and that it's allowed 

1906
01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:55,800
to do things that human beings 
are and that people have an 

1907
01:45:55,808 --> 01:45:59,800
obligation to obey it. 
To the point where yet, it's 

1908
01:46:00,100 --> 01:46:03,200
some people, they were gods or 
anything, some people wrote down

1909
01:46:03,200 --> 01:46:06,300
a thing on paper, and then they 
called it legislation, and they 

1910
01:46:06,300 --> 01:46:08,800
did certain rituals. 
And then people go around 

1911
01:46:08,800 --> 01:46:13,300
saying, well, this is law. 
Most people literally feel 

1912
01:46:13,300 --> 01:46:18,700
physical discomfort, and fear at
the thought of disobeying anyone

1913
01:46:18,700 --> 01:46:21,900
in Authority. 
Most Can't say, no. 

1914
01:46:21,900 --> 01:46:25,000
I'm not gonna do that because it
goes against their years and 

1915
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:28,600
years of programming and 
indoctrination that trains them 

1916
01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:30,700
to think. 
If you do, as you're told, 

1917
01:46:30,700 --> 01:46:33,600
you're good, if you don't you're
bad and that's the message of 

1918
01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:36,800
school and that message gets 
pounded in people's heads. 

1919
01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:40,900
Students are taught over and 
over and over and over again 

1920
01:46:40,900 --> 01:46:43,300
every stinking day. 
They're in school. 

1921
01:46:43,700 --> 01:46:46,800
That the measure of your virtue 
is how well you obey Authority, 

1922
01:46:46,900 --> 01:46:48,900
the whole approval disapproval 
thing. 

1923
01:46:49,100 --> 01:46:50,600
The one thing you learn in 
school. 

1924
01:46:50,800 --> 01:46:54,500
All is if you do as you're told,
you get approval and reward, if 

1925
01:46:54,500 --> 01:46:57,900
you don't do as you're told you 
get disdain and condemnation, 

1926
01:46:57,900 --> 01:47:00,600
though, make sure everybody 
knows you're a bad person 

1927
01:47:00,600 --> 01:47:04,500
because you didn't do, as you 
were told the belief in 

1928
01:47:04,500 --> 01:47:07,500
Authority leads, everybody. 
Good people bad people 

1929
01:47:07,500 --> 01:47:11,500
everything in between to 
Advocate and do things. 

1930
01:47:11,500 --> 01:47:13,700
They wouldn't otherwise do bad 
things. 

1931
01:47:13,700 --> 01:47:18,000
They wouldn't otherwise do 
including cops because the cops 

1932
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:22,000
really and truly believe that 
they The right to do things that

1933
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:24,100
I don't have the right to do and
you don't have the right to do. 

1934
01:47:24,500 --> 01:47:28,200
The only reason most of them do 
what they do is because they 

1935
01:47:28,200 --> 01:47:32,000
believe in authority and they 
really believe that legislation 

1936
01:47:32,200 --> 01:47:35,000
gives them an exemption for 
Morality. 

1937
01:47:35,100 --> 01:47:37,300
So that when they do something 
and someone says, hey what 

1938
01:47:37,300 --> 01:47:39,600
you're doing is bad. 
Hey, I don't make the law. 

1939
01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:42,200
I just enforce it. 
I'm not responsible for my 

1940
01:47:42,200 --> 01:47:44,100
actions. 
I'm just a tool of some weird 

1941
01:47:44,100 --> 01:47:45,900
thing, somewhere else called 
government. 

1942
01:47:45,900 --> 01:47:49,700
You can't blame me for what I am
personally doing because I'm not

1943
01:47:49,700 --> 01:47:52,100
really doing it. 
As loony as that is. 

1944
01:47:52,100 --> 01:47:54,100
That's what most of them will 
say. 

1945
01:47:54,400 --> 01:47:56,700
Whenever somebody says, hey, why
you're doing is wrong. 

1946
01:47:56,700 --> 01:47:58,800
It's not okay. 
To no, it's not. 

1947
01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:01,400
Okay, to lock people up for 
smoking marijuana. 

1948
01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:03,600
It's not. 
Okay, you know, all the ways in 

1949
01:48:03,600 --> 01:48:07,200
which quote, unquote law 
enforcement initiates violence 

1950
01:48:07,200 --> 01:48:10,200
against nonviolent people. 
And if you bring that up to 

1951
01:48:10,200 --> 01:48:12,800
them, they literally talked as 
if they didn't do it. 

1952
01:48:12,800 --> 01:48:16,500
The only reason they do that is 
because they were taught the LIE

1953
01:48:16,500 --> 01:48:19,900
of authority in government, and 
law, along with everyone else. 

1954
01:48:19,900 --> 01:48:23,600
And then they were told You're 
just a tool of the thing called 

1955
01:48:23,600 --> 01:48:26,400
law, and that makes it. 
So, you have rights that other 

1956
01:48:26,400 --> 01:48:29,000
people don't have. 
So, you don't have to feel bad 

1957
01:48:29,100 --> 01:48:32,300
about physically, assaulting 
nonviolent people, because the 

1958
01:48:32,300 --> 01:48:35,700
law says it's okay. 
It really is just permission to 

1959
01:48:35,700 --> 01:48:39,200
ignore your conscience, by 
saying you have rights that 

1960
01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:42,200
other people don't, you know, 
you don't have the right to tell

1961
01:48:42,200 --> 01:48:45,100
other people what happened to 
have on your own. 

1962
01:48:45,100 --> 01:48:48,000
You don't have the right to go 
and extort people on your own, 

1963
01:48:48,500 --> 01:48:52,200
but once you are law 
enforcement, Iseman then not 

1964
01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:56,500
only is it okay, it's Noble and 
great to go around robbing 

1965
01:48:56,500 --> 01:49:00,600
people and bossing around. 
That is the biggest danger of 

1966
01:49:00,600 --> 01:49:02,900
the belief in Authority. 
It tricks. 

1967
01:49:02,900 --> 01:49:07,200
Good people into condoning or 
doing really nasty, horrible 

1968
01:49:07,200 --> 01:49:10,300
violent things because they 
think, well, this is okay. 

1969
01:49:10,300 --> 01:49:14,000
If Government Authority does it,
they are raised by their parents

1970
01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:17,800
by the school by the government.
By the culture, by all the 

1971
01:49:17,800 --> 01:49:20,400
authoritarian messages built 
into everything. 

1972
01:49:20,800 --> 01:49:23,800
To think that obedience is a 
virtue and when you raise the 

1973
01:49:23,800 --> 01:49:27,300
culture to think that and you 
get one nasty psycho at the top 

1974
01:49:27,300 --> 01:49:30,800
who says, hey, go do bad stuff. 
People say, well, have to follow

1975
01:49:30,800 --> 01:49:32,700
orders. 
I have to obey the law. 

1976
01:49:33,300 --> 01:49:36,400
I have to do as I'm told because
that's a virtue and then good 

1977
01:49:36,400 --> 01:49:38,500
people. 
March often do evil stuff. 

1978
01:49:38,900 --> 01:49:41,900
I'm not scared of the mouth and 
the songs and Hitler's. 

1979
01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:45,200
I'm scared of the thousands or 
millions of people that 

1980
01:49:45,200 --> 01:49:47,500
hallucinate them to be 
Authority. 

1981
01:49:47,800 --> 01:49:50,600
And so do their bidding and pay 
for their Empires. 

1982
01:49:50,800 --> 01:49:53,900
And carry out their orders. 
I don't care if there's one 

1983
01:49:53,900 --> 01:49:57,000
gloomy with a stupid mustache. 
He is not a threat. 

1984
01:49:57,100 --> 01:50:00,200
If the people do not believe in 
the authority, some people 

1985
01:50:00,200 --> 01:50:02,000
assume that while you must trust
everybody. 

1986
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:03,700
If you don't want governments, 
not at all true. 

1987
01:50:04,200 --> 01:50:07,600
I don't yearly trust everybody. 
But if I don't trust people to 

1988
01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:10,800
run their own lives, why on 
Earth would I trust them to be 

1989
01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:13,400
in a position of power? 
Where they can forcibly run 

1990
01:50:13,400 --> 01:50:16,200
other people's lives? 
Really what it boils down to is 

1991
01:50:16,200 --> 01:50:19,800
saying, I don't trust people. 
People are untrustworthy and 

1992
01:50:19,800 --> 01:50:22,700
unpredictable. 
So my solution is to take some 

1993
01:50:22,700 --> 01:50:26,600
of those people, some of the 
most untrustworthy around, give 

1994
01:50:26,600 --> 01:50:30,100
them permission to violently, 
control, us, all, and that will 

1995
01:50:30,100 --> 01:50:34,100
protect us from the 
untrustworthiness of mankind. 

1996
01:50:34,200 --> 01:50:36,900
Okay, you're so scared of of the
average man out there. 

1997
01:50:36,900 --> 01:50:40,600
I'm so thankful for government. 
Let me ask you, who is taking 

1998
01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:44,900
more of your money under threat 
of force, private people 

1999
01:50:44,900 --> 01:50:48,700
threatening you or agents of 
authority threatening you, how 

2000
01:50:48,700 --> 01:50:53,600
many murders are committed. 
By private people compared to 

2001
01:50:53,600 --> 01:50:57,700
how many are committed by people
acting on behalf of authority. 

2002
01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:00,900
It's not even close. 
The number of murders committed 

2003
01:51:00,900 --> 01:51:04,400
in the name of law enforcement, 
and government and Authority, 

2004
01:51:04,700 --> 01:51:07,700
completely dwarfs. 
Private murder. 

2005
01:51:07,700 --> 01:51:10,700
Even Governor's, killing. 
The people of other countries, 

2006
01:51:10,900 --> 01:51:14,300
is small compared to them. 
Killing their own people. 

2007
01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:20,100
In the last 100 years, over 270 
million, human beings killed by 

2008
01:51:20,100 --> 01:51:23,400
their own. 
Governments not counting War. 

2009
01:51:30,200 --> 01:51:34,300
That first step is always the 
hardest to get someone to dare 

2010
01:51:34,300 --> 01:51:37,000
to set aside. 
His Blind Faith long enough to 

2011
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:41,700
think about things to back up 
enough to say maybe government 

2012
01:51:41,700 --> 01:51:45,600
isn't even legitimate at all. 
It takes a lot for people 

2013
01:51:45,600 --> 01:51:51,700
indoctrinated into the faith to 
dare to think of those literally

2014
01:51:51,700 --> 01:51:55,400
Blasphemous ideas that. 
Now, those people in Washington 

2015
01:51:55,400 --> 01:51:58,200
don't have the right to rule 
their threats aren't laws. 

2016
01:51:58,200 --> 01:52:01,100
They're just threats. 
It demands, our taxes as just 

2017
01:52:01,100 --> 01:52:07,000
extortion and that really feels 
like heresy because it is it is 

2018
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:09,500
heresy against the god called 
government. 

2019
01:52:09,900 --> 01:52:15,300
I now have a huge amount of Hope
because I see an acceleration of

2020
01:52:15,300 --> 01:52:18,400
the number of people who dare to
think about these things. 

2021
01:52:18,700 --> 01:52:22,700
And now the number of people 
able to have this conversation 

2022
01:52:23,300 --> 01:52:27,200
is just hugely exploding and 
they're still a minority, but 

2023
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:29,300
that exponential curve. 
I don't think. 

2024
01:52:29,400 --> 01:52:31,900
It's stopping. 
I really think the cult of 

2025
01:52:31,900 --> 01:52:35,000
statism is as good as dead. 
Ultimately. 

2026
01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:38,000
I think the belief in government
is doomed for the exact same 

2027
01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:41,200
reasons that the belief in a 
flat Earth is doomed. 

2028
01:52:41,300 --> 01:52:45,400
There's too many people pointing
out the utter inherent Insanity 

2029
01:52:45,400 --> 01:52:48,700
in the belief and that is not 
going to go away. 

2030
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:52,100
Nobody who understands 
self-ownership and understands 

2031
01:52:52,100 --> 01:52:55,800
why Authority is inherently 
bogus wakes up the next day and 

2032
01:52:55,800 --> 01:52:57,800
said suddenly, you know, I think
I should do whatever the 

2033
01:52:57,808 --> 01:53:02,400
politicians say. 
I think really humanity is just 

2034
01:53:02,400 --> 01:53:06,200
beginning to wake up to what 
it's supposed to be Humanity. 

2035
01:53:06,200 --> 01:53:10,800
Wasn't meant to be a 
domesticated species owned by a 

2036
01:53:10,800 --> 01:53:13,600
ruling class. 
Every human being owns himself 

2037
01:53:13,600 --> 01:53:17,500
as in charge of his own life. 
I'd like to see actual rational 

2038
01:53:17,500 --> 01:53:21,500
moral civilization to my 
lifetime, but we are going to 

2039
01:53:21,500 --> 01:53:24,200
get there sooner or later. 
We are totally going to get 

2040
01:53:24,200 --> 01:53:27,400
there. 
The like will never outlive the 

2041
01:53:27,400 --> 01:54:13,800
truth forever. 
Force versus violence. 

2042
01:54:13,800 --> 01:54:17,500
We need to understand that these
concepts are complete opposites 

2043
01:54:17,500 --> 01:54:19,500
of each other. 
They are not the same. 

2044
01:54:19,500 --> 01:54:22,600
The term should never be used 
interchangeably with with each 

2045
01:54:22,600 --> 01:54:26,000
other because not only are they 
not even remotely similar, their

2046
01:54:26,100 --> 01:54:29,100
direct diametrically opposed 
opposites. 

2047
01:54:31,100 --> 01:54:32,400
Let's look at the difference 
there. 

2048
01:54:32,400 --> 01:54:34,900
Often spoken about is if they're
the same and they're used 

2049
01:54:34,900 --> 01:54:37,300
interchangeably. 
When in fact, they are actually 

2050
01:54:37,300 --> 01:54:41,000
diametrically opposed to each 
other Force. 

2051
01:54:41,100 --> 01:54:45,900
The definition of force is the 
capacity to do work, or cause 

2052
01:54:46,100 --> 01:54:48,900
physical change in the physical 
world. 

2053
01:54:49,400 --> 01:54:51,800
Okay? 
For any change to be created in 

2054
01:54:51,800 --> 01:54:54,200
the physical world. 
In any capacity, Force must be 

2055
01:54:54,200 --> 01:54:57,000
used and applied. 
There's nothing you can do. 

2056
01:54:57,200 --> 01:55:00,100
That doesn't require Force. 
If you're going to make a 

2057
01:55:00,100 --> 01:55:01,400
change. 
The physical. 

2058
01:55:01,800 --> 01:55:04,900
Okay. 
So to set up this equipment or 

2059
01:55:04,900 --> 01:55:07,100
so is required. 
We had to lift it. 

2060
01:55:07,100 --> 01:55:09,300
We had to set it up. 
We have the plug in the cables 

2061
01:55:09,900 --> 01:55:11,800
forces. 
Required to do all those things.

2062
01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:15,400
It's the capacity to perform 
physical activity, physical 

2063
01:55:15,400 --> 01:55:16,900
work. 
OK. 

2064
01:55:17,500 --> 01:55:22,000
Action forces actually action 
with, which is in harmony, with 

2065
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:25,100
morality and natural law, 
because the taking of it, the 

2066
01:55:25,100 --> 01:55:29,200
usage of it doesn't violate 
rights of other people. 

2067
01:55:30,300 --> 01:55:34,000
So as soon as you're stepping 
over the line, into coercive 

2068
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:39,400
usage of force, that becomes 
violence, the initiation of 

2069
01:55:39,400 --> 01:55:44,800
force for coercive reasons, for 
coercive applications becomes 

2070
01:55:44,800 --> 01:55:47,000
violence. 
That's what makes it violence. 

2071
01:55:47,500 --> 01:55:52,900
Force itself is not violence. 
As such forces action, which one

2072
01:55:52,900 --> 01:55:55,500
always possesses the natural 
right to take. 

2073
01:55:55,500 --> 01:55:58,800
And this includes the defense, 
the physical defense of 

2074
01:55:58,800 --> 01:56:03,600
someone's person, their body 
against the act of violence 

2075
01:56:04,400 --> 01:56:05,800
Force. 
May be applied in that 

2076
01:56:05,800 --> 01:56:08,100
situation. 
When you are a costed with 

2077
01:56:08,100 --> 01:56:11,400
violence, you do reserve the 
right to use physical Force 

2078
01:56:11,400 --> 01:56:13,500
defensively against such an 
assault. 

2079
01:56:14,600 --> 01:56:17,400
Violence on the other hand. 
And this is the key to keep in 

2080
01:56:17,400 --> 01:56:21,600
mind with violence. 
It is the immoral initiation of 

2081
01:56:21,600 --> 01:56:27,800
physical power, to coerce compel
or restrain unrightfully. 

2082
01:56:28,400 --> 01:56:32,200
No one has the right to ever 
enact violence because violence 

2083
01:56:32,200 --> 01:56:35,800
is always starting it 
initiation. 

2084
01:56:35,800 --> 01:56:39,200
That's the key word there. 
It's the immoral, the 

2085
01:56:39,200 --> 01:56:43,800
unrightfully initiation. 
So, you know, teachers in 

2086
01:56:43,800 --> 01:56:45,700
schools. 
You know, if there's a skirmish 

2087
01:56:45,700 --> 01:56:49,000
that happens between a couple of
male students one day, they'll 

2088
01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:51,300
say, it doesn't matter who 
started it. 

2089
01:56:53,100 --> 01:56:58,400
If it matters is who started it.
All that matters is who started 

2090
01:56:58,400 --> 01:57:03,900
it all that matters, because the
person who actually conducted 

2091
01:57:03,900 --> 01:57:08,800
violence is the person who 
struck first, they initiated the

2092
01:57:08,800 --> 01:57:12,400
immoral, use of physical, 
behavior of physical Force, to 

2093
01:57:12,400 --> 01:57:15,900
coerce physical power, to 
coerce, compel or restrain. 

2094
01:57:16,600 --> 01:57:20,600
Therefore, when the person beats
back that physical assault with 

2095
01:57:20,600 --> 01:57:24,300
Force, they have not Committed 
an additional wrongdoing. 

2096
01:57:25,200 --> 01:57:28,500
Okay, it's difficult for many 
people to understand who are in 

2097
01:57:28,500 --> 01:57:31,100
right brain and balance. 
They don't want to acknowledge 

2098
01:57:31,100 --> 01:57:35,000
that you maintain the natural 
right to use Force when you are 

2099
01:57:35,000 --> 01:57:39,400
a cost in with violent Behavior.
If someone just came up to me on

2100
01:57:39,400 --> 01:57:42,700
the street and started swinging,
okay, because they want 

2101
01:57:42,700 --> 01:57:45,400
something I have or just because
they don't like the look of me 

2102
01:57:45,600 --> 01:57:49,400
for whatever reason, they don't 
have the right to do that if I 

2103
01:57:49,400 --> 01:57:52,300
replied by beating back their 
attack with sufficient. 

2104
01:57:52,500 --> 01:57:56,300
Forced to put that action down. 
How many wrongdoings would have 

2105
01:57:56,300 --> 01:58:05,800
been committed one? 
Correct one, not 21 because I 

2106
01:58:05,800 --> 01:58:10,300
maintain the right to defend 
myself with physical power with 

2107
01:58:10,300 --> 01:58:15,000
physical Force when necessary 
when violence meaning someone 

2108
01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:17,800
else started the immoral 
Behavior. 

2109
01:58:18,500 --> 01:58:22,200
That's what matters, the 
initiation who started it is. 

2110
01:58:22,500 --> 01:58:25,900
All that matters. 
All that matters. 

2111
01:58:25,900 --> 01:58:28,400
And, again, it's a very 
difficult thing for the ego to 

2112
01:58:28,400 --> 01:58:30,400
comprehend. 
The ego, doesn't want to hear 

2113
01:58:30,400 --> 01:58:33,100
that. 
It's been conditioned so long. 

2114
01:58:33,100 --> 01:58:36,400
That responding with force is 
also violence. 

2115
01:58:36,700 --> 01:58:40,300
We are verbally and mentally 
equating these two things. 

2116
01:58:40,300 --> 01:58:43,200
And when they, in fact, they are
actual complete opposites. 

2117
01:58:43,900 --> 01:58:47,700
Hey, if somebody, if a kid got 
hit by somebody else in a school

2118
01:58:48,000 --> 01:58:52,000
and then that other kid said, 
maybe even said once stop what 

2119
01:58:52,000 --> 01:58:53,700
you're Doing. 
And then when the other kid 

2120
01:58:53,700 --> 01:58:56,500
wouldn't stop, he punched him 
and knocked him out. 

2121
01:58:57,000 --> 01:59:01,700
Okay, I would ask other people 
whose who struck first and the 

2122
01:59:01,700 --> 01:59:04,200
kid lying on the floor struck 
first, I'd say you got what you 

2123
01:59:04,200 --> 01:59:08,100
deserved. 
That's it because that person 

2124
01:59:08,100 --> 01:59:09,400
had a right to defend 
themselves. 

2125
01:59:09,600 --> 01:59:12,200
You had no right to strike him, 
you initiated the violence. 

2126
01:59:12,200 --> 01:59:15,400
He responded with defensive 
Force, many people don't want to

2127
01:59:15,407 --> 01:59:18,100
hear that. 
Because they're very 

2128
01:59:18,100 --> 01:59:21,000
conditioned. 
I'm not saying you have to do 

2129
01:59:21,000 --> 01:59:22,600
that. 
You also reserve the right not 

2130
01:59:22,600 --> 01:59:26,200
to do that. 
But the right does exist, both 

2131
01:59:26,200 --> 01:59:29,100
things both rights exist. 
You would have the right to not 

2132
01:59:29,100 --> 01:59:32,100
respond with physical Force, but
you would have the right to 

2133
01:59:32,100 --> 01:59:35,500
respond with physical Force. 
See that's a free-will decision 

2134
01:59:35,600 --> 01:59:40,900
that the person has the right to
choose between those actions. 

2135
01:59:41,700 --> 01:59:44,000
I don't even look at either. 
One of them is the high road, 

2136
01:59:44,900 --> 01:59:47,600
you know personally. 
I think if somebody keeps 

2137
01:59:47,600 --> 01:59:50,400
beating somebody and keeps 
conducting violence to them and 

2138
01:59:50,400 --> 01:59:53,800
the other person keeps accepting
it and never reveals against it 

2139
01:59:53,800 --> 01:59:56,000
and never uses any Force to put 
it down. 

2140
01:59:56,100 --> 01:59:58,100
I almost look at that as the low
road. 

2141
01:59:58,300 --> 02:00:01,200
I'm not a pacifist, not a 
pacifist. 

2142
02:00:01,700 --> 02:00:07,300
Okay. 
I am 100% about non-violence. 

2143
02:00:07,500 --> 02:00:09,700
Meaning don't initiate harmed. 
Other people. 

2144
02:00:09,900 --> 02:00:10,800
Don't start. 
It. 

2145
02:00:10,900 --> 02:00:14,200
Don't start. 
None won't be none in street 

2146
02:00:14,200 --> 02:00:16,400
lingo. 
That's how that's how it really.

2147
02:00:16,500 --> 02:00:18,700
He is. 
Okay, but if somebody else 

2148
02:00:18,700 --> 02:00:23,600
starts it, they're asking to be 
put down with the amount of 

2149
02:00:23,600 --> 02:00:25,600
physical force that is required 
to put down. 

2150
02:00:25,600 --> 02:00:29,700
The act of aggression. 
Violence is coercive action. 

2151
02:00:29,700 --> 02:00:32,900
See, that's the key. 
It's always coercion saying. 

2152
02:00:32,900 --> 02:00:35,000
You're going to do what I want 
you to do, or then I'm going to 

2153
02:00:35,008 --> 02:00:36,800
strike. 
Then I'm going to commit the act

2154
02:00:36,800 --> 02:00:39,900
of violence. 
It's coercive, its action, which

2155
02:00:39,900 --> 02:00:43,700
is always an opposition to 
morality and natural law for the

2156
02:00:43,700 --> 02:00:47,800
very reason that it involves the
Nation of others rights. 

2157
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:52,600
That's why it's called violence.
It's a violation. 

2158
02:00:53,500 --> 02:00:58,600
The act of violation caused. 
It resulted in violence. 

2159
02:00:58,800 --> 02:01:02,200
Your rights have been violated. 
That's why it's called violence.

2160
02:01:02,500 --> 02:01:06,500
The same root word. 
Violence is action, which one 

2161
02:01:06,500 --> 02:01:08,600
never possesses the right to 
take ever. 

2162
02:01:09,100 --> 02:01:12,100
There is no such thing as the 
right to commit violence doesn't

2163
02:01:12,100 --> 02:01:16,500
exist because violence is the 
immortal initiation of physical 

2164
02:01:16,500 --> 02:01:20,200
power to compel coerce 
restraint, which no one has the 

2165
02:01:20,200 --> 02:01:22,000
right to do know, you don't have
the right. 

2166
02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:25,000
No one does have the right to 
initiate that type of action 

2167
02:01:26,000 --> 02:01:27,000
force. 
On the other hand. 

2168
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:30,800
There is a time and a place to 
exert that force in a defensive 

2169
02:01:30,800 --> 02:01:33,000
capacity. 
All right, so we'll talk about 

2170
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:37,200
that here. 
This piece of trash comes up to 

2171
02:01:37,200 --> 02:01:39,300
somebody on the street and says,
give me all everything that's 

2172
02:01:39,300 --> 02:01:41,600
valuable. 
I want your shoes, other 

2173
02:01:41,600 --> 02:01:46,300
leather, take them off, take the
wallet out, all the jewelry in 

2174
02:01:46,300 --> 02:01:51,000
your purse, in your wallet. 
Okay, it's called a thumb. 

2175
02:01:51,300 --> 02:01:54,300
Nobody would believe he has the 
authority or the right to do 

2176
02:01:54,300 --> 02:01:55,600
that. 
And we would have the moral 

2177
02:01:55,600 --> 02:01:59,400
obligation to obey this 
criminal, you know, you know, if

2178
02:01:59,400 --> 02:02:01,500
the criminal sorry calling 
himself government we might 

2179
02:02:01,500 --> 02:02:08,300
start believing it. 
Right, but let's say, let's say,

2180
02:02:08,300 --> 02:02:14,100
I somebody on the street saw 
what was being done, took out 

2181
02:02:14,100 --> 02:02:18,300
their own 9-millimeter and Bloom
this guy away how many acts of 

2182
02:02:18,300 --> 02:02:26,400
violence were committed 11. 
But while I understand what 

2183
02:02:26,400 --> 02:02:29,200
again that somebody saying, I 
prefer not to see it that way 

2184
02:02:29,200 --> 02:02:32,500
again, perception. 
And reality do not really 

2185
02:02:32,500 --> 02:02:34,400
aligned. 
In many cases, they're not the 

2186
02:02:34,400 --> 02:02:38,100
same. 
That person is M incorrectly 

2187
02:02:38,100 --> 02:02:40,400
perceiving. 
What is they're not seeing the 

2188
02:02:40,400 --> 02:02:43,200
truth. 
Many people don't want to hear 

2189
02:02:43,200 --> 02:02:46,500
that, that's the truth because 
they're very condition and they 

2190
02:02:46,500 --> 02:02:51,700
are very well-behaved slaves, 
you know, as harsh as that is to

2191
02:02:51,700 --> 02:02:55,600
say, they don't want to 
understand the inherent right to

2192
02:02:55,600 --> 02:02:58,400
use Force against violence 
exists and is always. 

2193
02:02:58,400 --> 02:03:03,000
All right, always now, I'm not 
telling you go out immediately 

2194
02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:07,500
do that either because the 
perception is so screwed up in 

2195
02:03:07,500 --> 02:03:11,200
the body of humanity, that the 
majority of people don't believe

2196
02:03:11,200 --> 02:03:15,100
that would be a And they will 
persecute you for doing it. 

2197
02:03:15,300 --> 02:03:20,300
Is he the self-defense principle
is continuously being eroded. 

2198
02:03:21,100 --> 02:03:23,700
Human beings possess the natural
way to defend themselves from 

2199
02:03:23,700 --> 02:03:26,300
violence with defensive physical
force. 

2200
02:03:26,500 --> 02:03:30,400
A person who was accosted by 
violence, possesses the right to

2201
02:03:30,400 --> 02:03:32,900
stop. 
The person who is conducting the

2202
02:03:32,900 --> 02:03:36,100
violence from continuing to do 
harm to them. 

2203
02:03:36,400 --> 02:03:40,100
With any amount of force that is
necessary to stop the attacker 

2204
02:03:40,100 --> 02:03:43,800
the assault, okay? 
Up to and including deadly 

2205
02:03:43,800 --> 02:03:47,700
force. 
I would say to if you want to be

2206
02:03:47,700 --> 02:03:50,400
nice about it. 
Give the person one verbal 

2207
02:03:50,400 --> 02:03:55,500
warning to stop. 
Say no, once after that, it's 

2208
02:03:55,500 --> 02:03:59,100
on, that's it. 
And that's really my policy. 

2209
02:03:59,500 --> 02:04:02,600
Okay, that would be my policy on
the street with an individual. 

2210
02:04:02,800 --> 02:04:06,700
The problem is here, the 
so-called authorities of the 

2211
02:04:06,700 --> 02:04:08,800
government. 
Like you say, don't want to see 

2212
02:04:08,800 --> 02:04:11,000
it that way and they're 
constantly trying to take this 

2213
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:13,300
right away from somebody. 
They're constantly trying to say

2214
02:04:13,300 --> 02:04:19,000
no we own the Monopoly on the 
usage of force and all you may 

2215
02:04:19,000 --> 02:04:23,400
do is wait and be accosted in 
assaulted until One of us shows 

2216
02:04:23,400 --> 02:04:24,800
up. 
Well, you know what that's 

2217
02:04:24,800 --> 02:04:26,800
called. 
It's called a big crock of bull,

2218
02:04:26,800 --> 02:04:31,500
shit is what that's called and 
it shouldn't be accepted by 

2219
02:04:31,500 --> 02:04:35,200
anyone who has any Common Sense,
shouldn't be accepted by anyone.

2220
02:04:35,900 --> 02:04:38,800
Unfortunately, again, like I 
said, people are very, very well

2221
02:04:38,800 --> 02:04:42,200
conditioned, and they think that
they think that this is an 

2222
02:04:42,200 --> 02:04:44,600
example of two wrongs. 
Don't make a right. 

2223
02:04:44,700 --> 02:04:46,300
There's no two wrongs committed 
there. 

2224
02:04:46,800 --> 02:04:49,200
There's one wrong committed and 
then there's a right that is 

2225
02:04:49,200 --> 02:04:53,500
being exercised, big difference 
between Or sizing a right that 

2226
02:04:53,500 --> 02:04:56,500
involves the defensive use of 
force and committing a 

2227
02:04:56,500 --> 02:04:59,600
wrongdoing, which involves the 
initiation of violence and 

2228
02:04:59,600 --> 02:05:03,100
people got to get clear on this,
they have to get clear on it. 

2229
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:08,900
So the question becomes does 
violence magically become a 

2230
02:05:08,900 --> 02:05:09,300
right? 
One. 

2231
02:05:09,300 --> 02:05:12,100
It's conducted by government 
when they shut down people's 

2232
02:05:12,100 --> 02:05:13,900
Free Speech rights and assembly 
rights. 

2233
02:05:14,000 --> 02:05:16,900
Or when they conduct direct 
theft from people through, 

2234
02:05:17,000 --> 02:05:20,500
what's this euphemized form of 
slavery, called Taxation. 

2235
02:05:20,700 --> 02:05:23,100
And like I said, I'm not, I'm 
not asking you to accept or 

2236
02:05:23,108 --> 02:05:26,900
believe, taxation is slavery. 
I'm telling you, if you don't 

2237
02:05:26,900 --> 02:05:30,300
understand that you're wrong. 
I don't care what you think. 

2238
02:05:30,600 --> 02:05:32,800
I'm telling you, is that way, in
truth? 

2239
02:05:32,800 --> 02:05:35,600
And in reality, taxation 
slavery. 

2240
02:05:36,200 --> 02:05:38,600
Shutting down a people's rights 
is slavery. 

2241
02:05:38,900 --> 02:05:42,300
Telling people what they may or 
may not put in their body is 

2242
02:05:42,500 --> 02:05:45,500
slavery. 
It's not my perception. 

2243
02:05:45,700 --> 02:05:49,000
That's what it is. 
Okay, and that's what we're 

2244
02:05:49,000 --> 02:05:52,000
accepting. 
As a people were accepting that.

2245
02:05:53,700 --> 02:05:56,600
These people have no more right 
to do it than any other 

2246
02:05:56,600 --> 02:06:00,900
individual would. 
And this concept brings us to 

2247
02:06:00,900 --> 02:06:06,100
what my the way I tried to 
define and explain to people 

2248
02:06:06,100 --> 02:06:10,600
what real spiritual 
enlightenment is because what 

2249
02:06:10,600 --> 02:06:13,600
the new age Community is telling
you that an enlightened being 

2250
02:06:13,600 --> 02:06:18,800
looks like is equally as a big 
crock of bull of what people who

2251
02:06:18,800 --> 02:06:21,800
don't understand self-defense, 
the self-defense principal 

2252
02:06:21,900 --> 02:06:23,200
believe. 
Okay. 

2253
02:06:24,400 --> 02:06:27,700
Enlightenment is not what this 
new age nonsense Community is 

2254
02:06:27,700 --> 02:06:29,000
trying to tell people that it 
is. 

2255
02:06:30,200 --> 02:06:32,600
All right. 
It's not about not taking action

2256
02:06:32,600 --> 02:06:35,000
and sitting under a tree and 
meditating until you're 

2257
02:06:35,100 --> 02:06:38,200
magically enlightened. 
Okay, Enlightenment means 

2258
02:06:38,200 --> 02:06:42,500
knowing what's going on around 
you, Enlightenment means knowing

2259
02:06:42,500 --> 02:06:45,000
what's going on within you and 
lightning needs. 

2260
02:06:45,000 --> 02:06:48,800
Truly knowing the true objective
difference between right and 

2261
02:06:48,800 --> 02:06:50,500
wrong and living that in your 
life. 

2262
02:06:50,500 --> 02:06:54,500
On a daily basis enlighten. 
Me unlike Enlightenment means, 

2263
02:06:56,100 --> 02:07:02,100
Not aggressing upon your fellow 
human beings but not agreeing 

2264
02:07:02,100 --> 02:07:05,800
voluntarily to be aggressive 
upon by them either. 

2265
02:07:06,500 --> 02:07:12,000
Okay, there's two pillars to 
dynamics that go hand-in-hand 

2266
02:07:12,000 --> 02:07:14,700
with real Enlightenment. 
I call this the two pillars of 

2267
02:07:14,700 --> 02:07:16,400
Enlightenment. 
Okay. 

2268
02:07:16,400 --> 02:07:20,800
So here they are. 
The first pillar is the sacred 

2269
02:07:20,800 --> 02:07:23,700
feminine principle. 
This has been called the 

2270
02:07:23,700 --> 02:07:28,000
non-aggression principle. 
All right, it is. 

2271
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:36,800
The simple simple law of don't 
engage in violence, or quite 

2272
02:07:36,800 --> 02:07:39,200
simply put, don't steal, don't 
steal. 

2273
02:07:39,200 --> 02:07:41,700
We talked about that. 
That's what all spiritual law 

2274
02:07:41,700 --> 02:07:44,500
can be boiled down to don't 
steal from other people. 

2275
02:07:44,500 --> 02:07:46,600
Don't take what isn't yours? 
Don't take life. 

2276
02:07:46,600 --> 02:07:47,900
That isn't yours. 
Don't take property. 

2277
02:07:47,900 --> 02:07:50,700
That isn't yours don't take 
rights that aren't yours. 

2278
02:07:51,500 --> 02:07:54,400
They're the property of others 
respect their ownership. 

2279
02:07:54,800 --> 02:07:57,500
Okay. 
Most people can grasp this 

2280
02:07:57,500 --> 02:08:00,600
pretty readily, okay. 
And even in the New Age 

2281
02:08:00,600 --> 02:08:05,000
movement, they grasp this, in 
other words, don't immorally 

2282
02:08:05,000 --> 02:08:08,900
initiate, non rightful, use of 
physical power to coerce 

2283
02:08:08,900 --> 02:08:12,300
constrain, or compel the 
rightful physical Behavior or 

2284
02:08:12,300 --> 02:08:16,100
free will choice of another 
sentient being respect. 

2285
02:08:16,100 --> 02:08:18,800
Other people's free will their 
rights, their property their 

2286
02:08:18,800 --> 02:08:21,900
life period, real simple. 
It's the Golden Rule don't do 

2287
02:08:21,900 --> 02:08:24,000
things to other people that you 
don't want done to you. 

2288
02:08:24,700 --> 02:08:27,600
I always stayed in the apophatic
in the negative. 

2289
02:08:28,300 --> 02:08:30,000
It's much more powerful that 
way. 

2290
02:08:31,300 --> 02:08:35,400
But there is a second principle,
a second, pillar or tenants of 

2291
02:08:35,400 --> 02:08:37,600
Enlightenment. 
If you will, this is the sacred 

2292
02:08:37,600 --> 02:08:41,000
masculine principle. 
This is what religions of the 

2293
02:08:41,000 --> 02:08:43,400
world whether they be 
government. 

2294
02:08:43,900 --> 02:08:48,000
Organized religion of different 
regions of the world and 

2295
02:08:48,000 --> 02:08:51,000
cultures the New Age movement. 
All right. 

2296
02:08:51,000 --> 02:08:53,300
This is what they want. 
They're seeking to suppress 

2297
02:08:53,400 --> 02:08:56,800
because religions are right, 
brain modalities the right brain

2298
02:08:56,800 --> 02:09:00,100
methods of Mind Control just 
like government who thinks. 

2299
02:09:00,100 --> 02:09:02,700
It's A monopoly on the physical 
use of force. 

2300
02:09:02,700 --> 02:09:05,000
That's a left, brain imbalance 
mindset. 

2301
02:09:05,600 --> 02:09:08,600
All right. 
The second pillar of 

2302
02:09:08,600 --> 02:09:10,800
Enlightenment is the sacred 
masculine principle, which is 

2303
02:09:10,800 --> 02:09:15,200
also known as the self-defense. 
Principal your bodies, your 

2304
02:09:15,200 --> 02:09:16,800
property. 
You have a right to defend it 

2305
02:09:16,800 --> 02:09:18,600
when it comes under attack by 
violence. 

2306
02:09:19,500 --> 02:09:23,400
This principle states sentient 
beings have the inherent right 

2307
02:09:23,400 --> 02:09:27,200
to use Force to defend 
themselves from violence, 

2308
02:09:27,200 --> 02:09:31,400
conducted upon them by another. 
This is the part many people 

2309
02:09:31,400 --> 02:09:35,100
don't get. 
You know, that's why we're not 

2310
02:09:35,100 --> 02:09:40,000
rebelling against our slave. 
Keepers are slave masters, who 

2311
02:09:40,000 --> 02:09:43,400
are masters of other people, in 
their own sick, distorted, 

2312
02:09:43,400 --> 02:09:47,100
Psychopathic, minds and are 
nothing but Thugs and criminals.

2313
02:09:47,400 --> 02:09:50,700
That people magically believe 
have the moral authority to 

2314
02:09:50,700 --> 02:09:53,400
continue to do what they're 
doing, just because they 

2315
02:09:53,400 --> 02:09:55,100
euphemized slavery and call 
government. 

2316
02:09:55,100 --> 02:09:58,700
Now. 
That's the sacred masculine 

2317
02:09:58,700 --> 02:10:01,400
principle. 
There is no such thing as an 

2318
02:10:01,400 --> 02:10:03,100
enlightened being that doesn't 
fully grasp. 

2319
02:10:03,100 --> 02:10:08,500
Both of these principles 
anywhere never has been There's 

2320
02:10:08,500 --> 02:10:12,500
no such thing as half measures. 
You got to get them fully both 

2321
02:10:12,900 --> 02:10:16,100
or you're not there and that's 
the problem. 

2322
02:10:16,400 --> 02:10:20,500
We're not all the way there. 
If people were already there, 

2323
02:10:20,500 --> 02:10:23,900
they won't be tolerating what 
we're putting up with more more 

2324
02:10:23,900 --> 02:10:26,700
aggression, against people's 
rights is being conducted in 

2325
02:10:26,700 --> 02:10:30,100
this country than when the 
founders of this nation actually

2326
02:10:30,100 --> 02:10:34,700
separated from England. 
They would have been horrified. 

2327
02:10:34,700 --> 02:10:38,600
I tell people look to not to get
nasty. 

2328
02:10:38,700 --> 02:10:41,900
But I tell people if the 
founders of this country could 

2329
02:10:41,900 --> 02:10:44,600
magically come back to life 
somehow and see what's going on 

2330
02:10:44,600 --> 02:10:46,900
in this country. 
They take a piss on people. 

2331
02:10:48,500 --> 02:10:51,300
That's what they would do. 
That's how much disrespect they 

2332
02:10:51,300 --> 02:10:53,000
would have, for what we're 
putting up with. 

2333
02:10:53,600 --> 02:10:57,700
You know, again just to just say
it the way it really is. 

2334
02:10:58,500 --> 02:11:01,700
That's what they would want to 
do to us because they would tell

2335
02:11:01,700 --> 02:11:05,500
us we warned you about all this.
We warned you about it all and 

2336
02:11:05,500 --> 02:11:09,700
you know you did, you ignored it
ignored it. 

2337
02:11:11,100 --> 02:11:14,200
So what did all those people who
died in that Revolution die for?

2338
02:11:19,800 --> 02:11:25,000
We have to understand true 
ownership, real deeply, not 

2339
02:11:25,000 --> 02:11:30,400
peripherally super deeply. 
We got to know what we own and 

2340
02:11:30,400 --> 02:11:33,500
what we don't own. 
We have to understand. 

2341
02:11:33,500 --> 02:11:34,900
Why is this, our current 
condition? 

2342
02:11:34,900 --> 02:11:36,500
That's the question. 
We asked the beginning. 

2343
02:11:36,700 --> 02:11:40,700
And here's the reason. 
The reason our species to 

2344
02:11:40,700 --> 02:11:44,800
continues to experience a 
systematic and growing loss of 

2345
02:11:44,800 --> 02:11:47,500
freedom, is because we 
collectively do not deeply, 

2346
02:11:47,500 --> 02:11:50,400
understand ownership and we 
continue to commit and condone 

2347
02:11:50,400 --> 02:11:53,500
theft. 
This is a prison for thieves. 

2348
02:11:54,300 --> 02:11:56,800
That's what Earth is. 
It's a prison for people that 

2349
02:11:56,800 --> 02:11:59,700
don't want to respect ownership.
They want to take things that 

2350
02:11:59,700 --> 02:12:02,100
aren't theirs. 
And that's, we're here to learn.

2351
02:12:02,300 --> 02:12:04,400
We're here to learn that there's
only one natural law. 

2352
02:12:04,400 --> 02:12:07,100
Stop stealing from other people.
Stop taking things that you 

2353
02:12:07,100 --> 02:12:11,700
don't own. 
Stop condoning theft of things 

2354
02:12:11,700 --> 02:12:16,600
that other people don't own. 
Don't condone that activity that

2355
02:12:16,600 --> 02:12:19,400
behavior either. 
So what is ownership? 

2356
02:12:19,400 --> 02:12:23,200
What's the definition? 
What does it entail to own a 

2357
02:12:23,200 --> 02:12:25,600
thing? 
Means that regarding that thing,

2358
02:12:25,600 --> 02:12:29,200
an individual maintains three 
basic things regarding it. 

2359
02:12:29,600 --> 02:12:31,400
The first is rightful 
possession. 

2360
02:12:31,800 --> 02:12:34,800
Means you acquired it without 
doing harm to somebody else. 

2361
02:12:35,300 --> 02:12:38,100
You rightfully owned. 
It lawfully owned it. 

2362
02:12:39,400 --> 02:12:41,400
Okay, you're in possession of 
it. 

2363
02:12:41,400 --> 02:12:44,600
You have it in your possession. 
It is yours. 

2364
02:12:45,600 --> 02:12:47,900
The second thing is you control 
its usage. 

2365
02:12:48,400 --> 02:12:50,400
Okay. 
So your house you control, its 

2366
02:12:50,400 --> 02:12:52,400
usage, your car. 
You control its usage, your 

2367
02:12:52,400 --> 02:12:54,600
clothes, you control their 
usage. 

2368
02:12:54,600 --> 02:12:56,600
My computer is mine. 
I control its usage. 

2369
02:12:56,600 --> 02:12:58,600
I'm using it. 
Okay. 

2370
02:13:00,300 --> 02:13:02,700
Control. 
The usage of something means 

2371
02:13:02,700 --> 02:13:07,300
that you own it, and most of 
all, maintaining personal 

2372
02:13:07,300 --> 02:13:09,000
responsibility for that 
possession. 

2373
02:13:09,000 --> 02:13:11,000
Is the third aspect of 
ownership. 

2374
02:13:11,500 --> 02:13:15,600
So, to own something means, I'm 
in lawful rightful possession of

2375
02:13:15,600 --> 02:13:18,600
it. 
I control the usage of that 

2376
02:13:18,600 --> 02:13:22,800
thing and I maintain personal 
responsibility for it. 

2377
02:13:23,600 --> 02:13:28,300
All right, and this is what we 
have to understand, natural law 

2378
02:13:28,300 --> 02:13:32,300
can be essentially reduced to 
One single spiritual law. 

2379
02:13:32,700 --> 02:13:35,600
I gave you the working 
definition, the soundbite 

2380
02:13:35,600 --> 02:13:39,600
definition before. 
Here's the super simplified to 

2381
02:13:39,600 --> 02:13:44,500
word concrescence of all of this
information. 

2382
02:13:44,800 --> 02:13:47,100
Natural law gets boiled down to 
two words. 

2383
02:13:47,500 --> 02:13:49,800
Don't steal. 
That's it. 

2384
02:13:49,900 --> 02:13:51,300
You want the key out of the 
prison? 

2385
02:13:51,400 --> 02:13:54,600
You got to understand property 
the Auditors, understand all 

2386
02:13:54,600 --> 02:13:57,600
rights, or property rights. 
Stop taking the property of 

2387
02:13:57,600 --> 02:13:59,900
other beings. 
Stop condoning. 

2388
02:14:00,100 --> 02:14:02,500
The Taking of the property of 
other beings the end. 

2389
02:14:03,400 --> 02:14:07,000
No government. 
What is the case for 

2390
02:14:07,000 --> 02:14:10,900
privatization? 
The case are to ethical and 

2391
02:14:10,900 --> 02:14:16,000
economic the ethical case for 
privatization is that it's 

2392
02:14:16,000 --> 02:14:17,900
compatible, the non-aggression 
principle. 

2393
02:14:18,800 --> 02:14:23,500
If things are private, then we 
can buy and sell rent when 

2394
02:14:23,500 --> 02:14:27,600
whatever and there's no 
violation of Rights. 

2395
02:14:27,600 --> 02:14:32,200
Whereas if it's done through the
government, then they're 

2396
02:14:32,200 --> 02:14:35,300
necessarily is a right of 
Rights. 

2397
02:14:35,900 --> 02:14:39,800
Because the government is per 
se, an invasive organization 

2398
02:14:39,800 --> 02:14:43,700
because it taxes us and it 
doesn't have our permission to 

2399
02:14:43,700 --> 02:14:44,200
do. 
So. 

2400
02:14:44,200 --> 02:14:46,700
None of us have signed a 
contract with the government. 

2401
02:14:47,500 --> 02:14:50,100
Therefore, when it's not 
property, namely, one of the 

2402
02:14:50,100 --> 02:14:54,300
public sphere, then there are 
problems of Ethics because 

2403
02:14:54,300 --> 02:14:59,100
there's compulsion It into the 
third possibility between 

2404
02:14:59,100 --> 02:15:01,600
government and private and 
that's non ownership, but I'll 

2405
02:15:01,600 --> 02:15:05,600
get into that when I do oceans. 
Okay, so the ethical case, I 

2406
02:15:05,600 --> 02:15:10,800
think is clear the case for 
economics. 

2407
02:15:10,800 --> 02:15:14,500
The economic case for 
privatization is, will be 

2408
02:15:14,500 --> 02:15:17,900
wealthier if things are private,
then if they're not, the reason 

2409
02:15:17,900 --> 02:15:23,000
we have pretty good wristwatches
and Thomas then shirts and shoes

2410
02:15:23,000 --> 02:15:26,900
and cars and things like that. 
Is because if somebody Do a good

2411
02:15:26,900 --> 02:15:29,300
job. 
It can go broke and they have to

2412
02:15:29,300 --> 02:15:32,100
exit and do something else. 
Whereas, in the government. 

2413
02:15:32,100 --> 02:15:35,200
If they don't do a good job, 
like, in the post office, they 

2414
02:15:35,200 --> 02:15:40,200
just keep on going and going. 
So that's one advantage. 

2415
02:15:40,200 --> 02:15:43,600
Another Advantage is the nieces.
Puts in that. 

2416
02:15:43,600 --> 02:15:47,400
If you have to the extent that 
you have government, you don't 

2417
02:15:47,400 --> 02:15:51,700
have a rational economic system 
of prices that reflect scarcity.

2418
02:15:52,300 --> 02:15:57,200
Hyack tells us that information 
emanates from free prizes. 

2419
02:15:57,500 --> 02:16:01,300
And if you don't have free 
prices, the information that 

2420
02:16:01,300 --> 02:16:05,200
prices give you are is not 
indicative of scarcity or 

2421
02:16:05,200 --> 02:16:08,800
desires or anything like that. 
And the third one is incentives.

2422
02:16:09,800 --> 02:16:12,200
If we have something done by 
government. 

2423
02:16:12,300 --> 02:16:16,400
We have less incentive to 
produce because you can't fail. 

2424
02:16:17,200 --> 02:16:20,000
Another one. 
Is we as consumers have more 

2425
02:16:20,000 --> 02:16:25,400
control over producers. 
Then we as citizens have 

2426
02:16:25,700 --> 02:16:28,600
control. 
For our politicians, we get to 

2427
02:16:28,600 --> 02:16:32,400
vote for our politicians once 
every four years, we get to vote

2428
02:16:32,400 --> 02:16:36,600
for a dollar vote for our 
suppliers of goods and services.

2429
02:16:37,200 --> 02:16:39,799
Every time we buy myself 
something. 

2430
02:16:39,799 --> 02:16:42,900
So, it could be every second, or
every day or whatever. 

2431
02:16:44,500 --> 02:16:48,100
Another reason is that in the 
market. 

2432
02:16:48,299 --> 02:16:51,600
You don't have to have a package
deal in the market. 

2433
02:16:51,600 --> 02:16:55,900
You could buy a violin and a 
motorcycle. 

2434
02:16:56,299 --> 02:17:00,100
And a sailboat, in the case of 
the government. 

2435
02:17:00,200 --> 02:17:04,200
It's a package deal. 
If the two parties and you like 

2436
02:17:04,200 --> 02:17:08,100
policies, 1 3, 5 and 7 of one 
party and two four, six and 

2437
02:17:08,100 --> 02:17:10,400
eight of the other. 
You got to pick one or the 

2438
02:17:10,400 --> 02:17:12,500
other. 
You just can't get one from 

2439
02:17:12,500 --> 02:17:16,799
column A and one from column B. 
You can't pick what you want. 

2440
02:17:16,799 --> 02:17:18,600
Whereas in the market, you can 
go and pick this. 

2441
02:17:18,600 --> 02:17:21,299
You can pick that you can 
satisfy yourself. 

2442
02:17:21,299 --> 02:17:23,600
There's no package deal imposed 
upon you. 

2443
02:17:24,799 --> 02:17:29,200
Now they're all package deal 27 
from for New, Liberty by Murray 

2444
02:17:29,200 --> 02:17:34,100
rothbard the libertarian Cree 
dress, upon one Central Axiom 

2445
02:17:34,400 --> 02:17:38,799
that no man or group of any men,
may aggress against the person 

2446
02:17:38,799 --> 02:17:41,799
or property of anyone else. 
Okay. 

2447
02:17:41,799 --> 02:17:45,600
What's my worldview activism is 
based idea that everyone is self

2448
02:17:45,600 --> 02:17:48,600
opener and that, the guiding 
principle for social relations 

2449
02:17:48,600 --> 02:17:50,299
is what we call the 
non-aggression principle. 

2450
02:17:50,299 --> 02:17:53,100
Meaning you are not in a 
position to aggress against 

2451
02:17:53,100 --> 02:17:55,299
another person who Force or 
fraud. 

2452
02:17:55,600 --> 02:17:58,799
And if someone does issue Force 
against you, then you have the 

2453
02:17:58,799 --> 02:18:01,400
right to retaliate. 
And this very simple principle 

2454
02:18:01,400 --> 02:18:03,600
is basis of all interpersonal 
relationships. 

2455
02:18:08,500 --> 02:18:10,799
Thank you very much. 
Mister bloom in one minute. 

2456
02:18:11,500 --> 02:18:12,600
Well, mr. 
President. 

2457
02:18:13,400 --> 02:18:17,200
I'm minded actually to quote, 
the Great American philosopher 

2458
02:18:17,200 --> 02:18:19,600
Murray rothbard here that the 
state. 

2459
02:18:19,900 --> 02:18:25,600
The state is an institution of 
theft writ large tax is just 

2460
02:18:25,600 --> 02:18:29,700
about a system where politicians
and bureaucrats steal money from

2461
02:18:29,700 --> 02:18:33,700
their citizens to squander in 
the most disgraceful manner. 

2462
02:18:34,000 --> 02:18:38,000
This place is no exception 
fascinatingly and I I really 

2463
02:18:38,000 --> 02:18:40,000
don't know how you managed to 
keep a straight face. 

2464
02:18:40,000 --> 02:18:43,799
When you're talking about tax 
evasion, the whole commission 

2465
02:18:43,799 --> 02:18:46,900
and the commission bureaucracy, 
avoid their taxes. 

2466
02:18:46,900 --> 02:18:50,200
You don't pay taxes, like 
citizen pay taxes. 

2467
02:18:50,200 --> 02:18:52,400
You have all sorts of special 
deals. 

2468
02:18:52,400 --> 02:18:57,500
Composite tax rates, High tax, 
thresholds, non-contributory, 

2469
02:18:57,500 --> 02:19:01,600
pension schemes. 
You are the biggest tax avoiders

2470
02:19:01,600 --> 02:19:05,100
in Europe and here you sit 
pontificating. 

2471
02:19:05,100 --> 02:19:07,700
Well, the message is getting 
home to the people of the 

2472
02:19:07,700 --> 02:19:10,799
European Union, you're going to 
find that euroskeptics are 

2473
02:19:10,807 --> 02:19:14,500
coming back in June in ever 
greater numbers in ever greater 

2474
02:19:14,500 --> 02:19:18,200
numbers and I can tell you worse
as the people get your number. 

2475
02:19:18,299 --> 02:19:21,700
It won't be long before they 
storm this chamber and they hang

2476
02:19:21,700 --> 02:19:29,799
you and they'll be right. 
We will never initiate Force 

2477
02:19:30,200 --> 02:19:34,000
against somebody else and that 
is you know, a pretty simple 

2478
02:19:34,000 --> 02:19:36,100
principle, that everybody should
endorse. 

2479
02:19:36,100 --> 02:19:39,500
It's a principle of what makes 
civilization that is you respect

2480
02:19:39,500 --> 02:19:42,900
other people's life, use respect
other people's property, Thou 

2481
02:19:42,900 --> 02:19:45,200
shalt not steal, Thou shalt not 
murder. 

2482
02:19:45,200 --> 02:19:48,900
It's that simple and most 
everybody agrees to that. 

2483
02:19:49,400 --> 02:19:52,400
And the next question ought to 
be is what y it is. 

2484
02:19:52,400 --> 02:19:55,000
Why should you be different than
Republican Democrats if they 

2485
02:19:55,000 --> 02:19:56,600
tend to agree with that same 
principle. 

2486
02:19:56,900 --> 02:20:01,000
Well, we Even such an important 
moral principle that if we can't

2487
02:20:01,000 --> 02:20:03,800
take somebody else's property 
and we can't hurt anybody, or we

2488
02:20:03,800 --> 02:20:08,100
can't intimidate anybody or 
threaten to use Force willing to

2489
02:20:08,100 --> 02:20:11,000
government, can't either. 
But we see the government as the

2490
02:20:11,000 --> 02:20:14,100
initiator, a force to bring 
about social and economic 

2491
02:20:14,100 --> 02:20:18,200
changes day in and day out. 
I mean, they may not come up to 

2492
02:20:18,200 --> 02:20:21,100
our front door with a gun and 
occasionally they do. 

2493
02:20:21,400 --> 02:20:25,500
But we know if we don't deliver 
our money in our records and do,

2494
02:20:25,500 --> 02:20:27,400
Abby didn't lie what the 
government wants. 

2495
02:20:27,800 --> 02:20:31,200
In order to give up our portion 
of our income through the 

2496
02:20:31,200 --> 02:20:34,500
Internal Revenue Service, the 
gun that will be quickly at our 

2497
02:20:34,500 --> 02:20:37,000
door and we will be in prison. 
So it's the threats and the 

2498
02:20:37,000 --> 02:20:39,400
intimidation and therefore 
they're transferring. 

2499
02:20:39,400 --> 02:20:41,800
Well something that we can't do 
as individuals. 

2500
02:20:42,100 --> 02:20:46,000
So we as Libertarians reject, 
this whole idea of forcible 

2501
02:20:46,300 --> 02:20:49,000
redistribution of wealth, which 
is the welfare state. 

2502
02:20:49,000 --> 02:20:52,600
Same way in personal liberties. 
We apply this principle in the 

2503
02:20:52,600 --> 02:20:56,100
area of personal Liberties. 
In, although I might want you 

2504
02:20:56,200 --> 02:20:59,300
and think you should leave 
Certainly the certain lifestyle 

2505
02:20:59,400 --> 02:21:01,900
because I think it's good and 
right and moral. 

2506
02:21:02,100 --> 02:21:05,000
I've no right to tell you what 
to do, you know, if you want to 

2507
02:21:05,000 --> 02:21:06,700
live a certain way? 
I disagree. 

2508
02:21:07,000 --> 02:21:10,200
That's that's tough. 
You know, that's your choosing. 

2509
02:21:10,200 --> 02:21:12,900
That's the individuals Choice as
long as you don't hurt somebody 

2510
02:21:12,900 --> 02:21:16,100
else. 
So the person has the right to 

2511
02:21:16,100 --> 02:21:19,300
his own life, in his Liberty is 
own lifestyle, as with one 

2512
02:21:19,900 --> 02:21:23,000
special rule that your 
lifestyle, the individuals 

2513
02:21:23,000 --> 02:21:24,600
lifestyle can't hurt somebody 
else. 

2514
02:21:24,900 --> 02:21:28,800
So if you do things that I 
disapprove of, I is a Tyrion and

2515
02:21:28,800 --> 02:21:32,600
tolerant and I accept that up 
until the point of no injury to 

2516
02:21:32,600 --> 02:21:34,800
anybody else. 
Now. 

2517
02:21:34,800 --> 02:21:39,900
I talked Libertarians or listen 
to them or view them on TV and 

2518
02:21:39,900 --> 02:21:43,300
they're talking about government
power all the time and abuse of 

2519
02:21:43,300 --> 02:21:45,600
governmental power. 
But I also see some 

2520
02:21:45,600 --> 02:21:48,400
Libertarians, not a whole lot of
them, a lot of them also talk 

2521
02:21:48,400 --> 02:21:50,600
about corporate power as well. 
In other words. 

2522
02:21:50,600 --> 02:21:53,500
They're talking about power in 
general there seem to be two 

2523
02:21:53,500 --> 02:21:59,200
types of Libertarians. 
No, I And I don't find, I think 

2524
02:21:59,200 --> 02:22:01,700
we have one type of libertarian 
because we all accept that the 

2525
02:22:01,700 --> 02:22:04,600
same principle. 
I think it's more easily found 

2526
02:22:04,600 --> 02:22:07,300
that you have several types of 
Republicans and several types of

2527
02:22:07,300 --> 02:22:09,200
democrat because they're 
interventionist and they can 

2528
02:22:09,200 --> 02:22:13,000
intervene any way they want. 
But I think Libertarians are 

2529
02:22:13,000 --> 02:22:16,300
pretty consistent in certainly 
condemning the power of 

2530
02:22:16,300 --> 02:22:18,400
government. 
I haven't heard a Libertarian 

2531
02:22:18,400 --> 02:22:20,400
saying that we need more 
government or, they're not a 

2532
02:22:20,400 --> 02:22:23,600
Libertarian, but on the 
corporate power, I think where 

2533
02:22:23,600 --> 02:22:27,200
the confusion might come is 
Corporate sighs. 

2534
02:22:27,300 --> 02:22:31,500
If it It's gained by serving. 
The consumer is not necessarily 

2535
02:22:31,500 --> 02:22:35,800
evil. 
So if you have 90% of the car 

2536
02:22:35,800 --> 02:22:39,600
industry, for some miraculous 
reason, for some unknown reason,

2537
02:22:39,600 --> 02:22:43,200
there's no Imports. 
If you have 90% of it, that 

2538
02:22:43,200 --> 02:22:45,000
doesn't bother me as a 
Libertarian. 

2539
02:22:45,000 --> 02:22:48,200
If you have the best car at the 
best price and to Consumers are 

2540
02:22:48,200 --> 02:22:51,300
very happy. 
Now, if you hone, if you have 

2541
02:22:51,300 --> 02:22:56,100
90% or 100% of a utility company
and your gouging, the customers,

2542
02:22:56,100 --> 02:22:57,600
and the customers have no place 
else to go. 

2543
02:22:58,200 --> 02:23:02,800
We detest the corporate size. 
We detest corporate power. 

2544
02:23:03,000 --> 02:23:05,200
When it's gained through 
government power, you know, 

2545
02:23:05,200 --> 02:23:07,800
government coercion. 
If it's a contract. 

2546
02:23:07,900 --> 02:23:10,900
The military-industrial complex 
is a pretty good example of how 

2547
02:23:11,200 --> 02:23:14,400
large Industries benefit by big 
government, of course. 

2548
02:23:14,400 --> 02:23:18,300
In big banking, big Banks 
benefit by this monetary system 

2549
02:23:18,300 --> 02:23:20,300
because they're sort of, in 
collusion with the Federal 

2550
02:23:20,300 --> 02:23:23,300
Reserve System. 
So we detest that we detest 

2551
02:23:23,300 --> 02:23:26,000
bigness and we detest corporate 
power. 

2552
02:23:26,200 --> 02:23:29,100
When it's gained. 
Through privilege from 

2553
02:23:29,100 --> 02:23:33,100
government. 
If corporations are large and 

2554
02:23:33,100 --> 02:23:36,500
there's always free entry in a 
free market, if they're large 

2555
02:23:36,500 --> 02:23:39,600
because they serve the consumer.
We don't worry too much about 

2556
02:23:39,600 --> 02:23:42,100
that because we know the 
consumer is benefiting if they 

2557
02:23:42,100 --> 02:23:44,900
get to the point if they had 
100% of IT industry, which is 

2558
02:23:45,300 --> 02:23:48,200
not possible in a free market, 
but let's say just for instance 

2559
02:23:48,200 --> 02:23:52,000
of 100%, And then they started 
to gouge the people it would 

2560
02:23:52,000 --> 02:23:54,800
immediately be competition. 
The people, you know, there has 

2561
02:23:54,800 --> 02:23:57,600
to be there, always has to be 
free entry and free competition.

2562
02:23:57,900 --> 02:24:00,100
But there's nobody's ever 
figured out where there's ever 

2563
02:24:00,100 --> 02:24:03,200
been a true Monopoly in a free 
market system. 

2564
02:24:03,200 --> 02:24:06,500
To all monopolies, can be traced
to some form of government 

2565
02:24:06,500 --> 02:24:09,000
protector about something that 
should be pretty obvious to 

2566
02:24:09,000 --> 02:24:11,200
everybody. 
But I keep hearing statements 

2567
02:24:11,200 --> 02:24:14,500
like the Constitution grants us 
the rights. 

2568
02:24:14,500 --> 02:24:17,900
We currently enjoy. 
Or if it weren't for the Second 

2569
02:24:17,900 --> 02:24:20,000
Amendment. 
You wouldn't have the right to 

2570
02:24:20,000 --> 02:24:23,800
own a firearm or had it not been
for our founding fathers, given 

2571
02:24:23,800 --> 02:24:26,900
us Fourth Amendment, privileges.
We wouldn't be secure in our 

2572
02:24:26,900 --> 02:24:29,600
homes or Or in our cars, what we
travel. 

2573
02:24:29,600 --> 02:24:32,200
Now, whether people acknowledge,
the freedom of an individual or 

2574
02:24:32,200 --> 02:24:35,800
not is not the basis of 
individual liberties. 

2575
02:24:35,900 --> 02:24:38,800
If one of us is free, then we 
are all free. 

2576
02:24:38,800 --> 02:24:42,600
According to the same standard 
that makes that one guy free. 

2577
02:24:42,600 --> 02:24:46,700
And the only reason that that 
one person is free is because no

2578
02:24:46,700 --> 02:24:50,700
other person on the face of this
planet has the legitimate right 

2579
02:24:50,700 --> 02:24:54,100
to claim any measure of 
ownership over that one person's

2580
02:24:54,100 --> 02:24:57,200
life or property. 
If a person does have a higher 

2581
02:24:57,200 --> 02:24:59,200
claim, The life and property of 
others. 

2582
02:24:59,400 --> 02:25:03,500
Then it must be asked where did 
such a power or authority come 

2583
02:25:03,500 --> 02:25:06,100
from? 
How did that one person or group

2584
02:25:06,100 --> 02:25:10,100
of people acquire, such a power 
over others, are these people 

2585
02:25:10,100 --> 02:25:12,900
superhuman. 
And why doesn't everybody have 

2586
02:25:12,900 --> 02:25:17,300
the same power and authority? 
Also, if no one person has such 

2587
02:25:17,300 --> 02:25:20,600
a power or authority over 
others, then how can a group of 

2588
02:25:20,600 --> 02:25:23,300
people who don't have this power
delegate? 

2589
02:25:23,300 --> 02:25:26,900
It to so-called elected 
officials while none of these 

2590
02:25:26,900 --> 02:25:31,100
questions can And so when I told
him I said, I think taxation is 

2591
02:25:31,100 --> 02:25:33,900
theft and he said well, you 
know, I think philosophically I 

2592
02:25:33,900 --> 02:25:35,600
you might be able to get me 
there but I still don't 

2593
02:25:35,600 --> 02:25:39,300
understand how you would do it. 
And I said well to me it really 

2594
02:25:39,300 --> 02:25:41,300
is a philosophical 
understanding. 

2595
02:25:41,300 --> 02:25:44,600
It's like I don't know how well 
she look at it and I've yet to 

2596
02:25:44,600 --> 02:25:48,200
hear anyone. 
Give me a logical rationale for 

2597
02:25:48,200 --> 02:25:53,500
how taxation is not theft. 
Because you see if I own myself.

2598
02:25:54,600 --> 02:26:00,400
And I own that, which I create. 
Or I own the byproduct of my 

2599
02:26:00,400 --> 02:26:03,600
labor would be a better way to 
say that I own myself. 

2600
02:26:03,600 --> 02:26:06,400
Then the work that I do, I own 
that work. 

2601
02:26:07,500 --> 02:26:09,300
And I can do a couple of things 
with that. 

2602
02:26:09,300 --> 02:26:13,400
I can either do it for myself. 
So if I say I'm a carpenter and 

2603
02:26:13,400 --> 02:26:19,400
I have to build beautiful 
Furniture, if I, if I own myself

2604
02:26:19,400 --> 02:26:22,200
and I go and I get the wood, I 
chopped down the tree, and I 

2605
02:26:22,200 --> 02:26:24,800
take it in, and I do the 
carpentry work too, and I create

2606
02:26:24,800 --> 02:26:26,900
a beautiful table or beautiful 
chair. 

2607
02:26:27,800 --> 02:26:29,600
I own that chair. 
It's mine. 

2608
02:26:30,300 --> 02:26:33,800
I owned the wood that I produced
with the chair is mine. 

2609
02:26:34,400 --> 02:26:36,000
I can do whatever I want to with
it. 

2610
02:26:36,400 --> 02:26:38,400
I can sell it to I can sit in 
it. 

2611
02:26:38,500 --> 02:26:41,100
I can set it on fire. 
It's my chair. 

2612
02:26:42,100 --> 02:26:44,400
You can sit on fire if you don't
have the proper permit because 

2613
02:26:44,400 --> 02:26:45,600
that would be wrong. 
No. 

2614
02:26:45,800 --> 02:26:47,800
Well. 
Oh man, you're right. 

2615
02:26:48,100 --> 02:26:50,500
But the point I'm making is 
quite quite clear. 

2616
02:26:50,500 --> 02:26:52,600
I ought to be able to do 
whatever I want to with the 

2617
02:26:52,600 --> 02:26:55,400
stuff that I own. 
It says basic understanding of 

2618
02:26:55,400 --> 02:26:58,400
property rights. 
If you don't believe that, then 

2619
02:26:58,400 --> 02:27:01,300
what you believe is that anyone 
that what you have, none of what

2620
02:27:01,300 --> 02:27:04,200
you have is really yours that it
all belongs to somebody else. 

2621
02:27:04,300 --> 02:27:07,100
And it's just a matter of how 
much they want to let you have. 

2622
02:27:08,500 --> 02:27:10,900
And we of course don't have that
philosophy because we have an 

2623
02:27:10,900 --> 02:27:14,100
understanding of both individual
rights and property rights here.

2624
02:27:15,700 --> 02:27:19,600
But if I owned the byproduct of 
my labor, let's say I don't want

2625
02:27:19,600 --> 02:27:23,300
to go to the effort of having to
find people, to buy my stuff. 

2626
02:27:23,800 --> 02:27:26,000
So yes, I make beautiful 
Furniture, but I don't want to 

2627
02:27:26,000 --> 02:27:28,300
have to spend my days trying to 
find people to buy it. 

2628
02:27:29,100 --> 02:27:31,300
So, you know what, there's a guy
down the street, he owns a 

2629
02:27:31,308 --> 02:27:34,800
company and he's looking for 
people who know how to build 

2630
02:27:34,800 --> 02:27:38,500
chairs and he will pay me for my
expertise. 

2631
02:27:40,000 --> 02:27:44,500
To build chairs for him to sell.
And I can have steady pay and I 

2632
02:27:44,500 --> 02:27:46,800
might be able to have a little 
bit of a caishen time, and I 

2633
02:27:46,800 --> 02:27:49,000
will have a little bit more 
security because obvious Teddy 

2634
02:27:49,000 --> 02:27:51,300
paycheck coming in. 
And so I decided rather than 

2635
02:27:51,300 --> 02:27:54,100
work for myself. 
I'm going to go and work for my 

2636
02:27:54,100 --> 02:27:57,400
employer. 
Well, I own the byproduct of my 

2637
02:27:57,400 --> 02:28:00,200
labor. 
So I have to be compensated for 

2638
02:28:00,200 --> 02:28:03,000
the work. 
I do the guy down the road. 

2639
02:28:03,100 --> 02:28:05,800
Can't say, you know what, I need
a guy who makes tables or makes 

2640
02:28:05,800 --> 02:28:08,100
chairs. 
So you have to come work for me.

2641
02:28:08,100 --> 02:28:14,100
That would be slavery. 
So if I own myself, I own the by

2642
02:28:14,100 --> 02:28:17,700
project, the what I create. 
What is the government entitled 

2643
02:28:17,700 --> 02:28:22,100
to? 
How much of what I create and I 

2644
02:28:22,100 --> 02:28:28,300
produce is my neighbor entitled 
to, how much of what you create 

2645
02:28:28,400 --> 02:28:31,600
or produce is. 
Your neighbor entitled to? 

2646
02:28:32,600 --> 02:28:38,300
The answer is nothing. 
He is entitled to zero dollars 

2647
02:28:38,400 --> 02:28:41,400
or zero, percentage of what you 
have. 

2648
02:28:42,400 --> 02:28:45,600
Because he did nothing to earn 
it or create it. 

2649
02:28:47,200 --> 02:28:53,100
What taxation says is you have 
to pay a portion of what you 

2650
02:28:53,100 --> 02:28:57,700
earn or what you create because 
you live here. 

2651
02:28:58,800 --> 02:29:01,400
There's no exit. 
No, other explanation for it is 

2652
02:29:01,400 --> 02:29:04,500
theft, pure and simple. 
It is the taking of one's 

2653
02:29:04,500 --> 02:29:09,600
property without their consent. 
The 4 foundational principles of

2654
02:29:09,600 --> 02:29:13,100
volunteerism. 
Yes, freeze. 

2655
02:29:13,200 --> 02:29:17,500
Number one, self ownership self 
ownership is the Cornerstone to 

2656
02:29:17,500 --> 02:29:20,900
voluntariness values. 
It is the Axiom that states that

2657
02:29:20,900 --> 02:29:24,300
each person is the highest 
authority over their own body. 

2658
02:29:24,400 --> 02:29:27,000
And that each person has the 
greatest claim over. 

2659
02:29:27,000 --> 02:29:29,900
What happens with it while there
are many thought processes by 

2660
02:29:29,900 --> 02:29:33,600
which this concept could be 
derived, a simple observation on

2661
02:29:33,600 --> 02:29:36,500
the nature of Human Action. 
Makes it clear the brains 

2662
02:29:36,500 --> 02:29:40,300
exertion of impulses on the body
demonstrates that individuals 

2663
02:29:40,300 --> 02:29:42,200
control their bodies and 
Wrecked. 

2664
02:29:42,200 --> 02:29:44,600
Its course by a biological 
default. 

2665
02:29:44,600 --> 02:29:47,800
People act accordingly from the 
sensations of this exertion, 

2666
02:29:47,900 --> 02:29:50,100
both in inclusion. 
And exclusion. 

2667
02:29:50,200 --> 02:29:52,900
Is this Axiom is accepted as the
humans? 

2668
02:29:52,900 --> 02:29:55,700
It develops the solid and 
logical basis from which to 

2669
02:29:55,708 --> 02:29:58,800
describe the other properties of
voluntary, assault. 

2670
02:29:58,800 --> 02:30:01,400
Number two, the non-aggression 
principle. 

2671
02:30:01,500 --> 02:30:04,700
The non-aggression principle is 
the idea that stemming from 

2672
02:30:04,700 --> 02:30:08,100
self-ownership individuals 
should not initiate physical 

2673
02:30:08,100 --> 02:30:11,700
harms against others, and should
only use Force if necessary and 

2674
02:30:11,800 --> 02:30:15,800
Self-defense as individuals have
the highest claim to their body.

2675
02:30:15,900 --> 02:30:19,500
No one has a right to use Force 
to tell others what they can do 

2676
02:30:19,500 --> 02:30:22,700
or say with their body was self 
ownership in mind. 

2677
02:30:23,000 --> 02:30:25,900
If individuals respect the 
bodies of others, fewer 

2678
02:30:25,900 --> 02:30:29,400
conflicts will emerge. 
Number three maximizing 

2679
02:30:29,400 --> 02:30:32,800
individual consent. 
The concept of maximizing 

2680
02:30:32,800 --> 02:30:35,800
individual consent. 
Is the notion that permission to

2681
02:30:35,800 --> 02:30:39,300
the body or property of another 
is predicated on attaining. 

2682
02:30:39,300 --> 02:30:43,000
Consent of the individual for 
example, This is the difference 

2683
02:30:43,000 --> 02:30:46,200
between an act of intercourse 
being categorized as sex or 

2684
02:30:46,200 --> 02:30:49,900
being categorized as rape with 
the norm of maximizing consent. 

2685
02:30:50,000 --> 02:30:53,800
Principled, voluntarios seek to 
enhance the accuracy of consent 

2686
02:30:53,800 --> 02:30:57,500
through specific, observation 
action and words to further 

2687
02:30:57,500 --> 02:30:59,600
understanding. 
Looking to ensure that 

2688
02:30:59,600 --> 02:31:02,800
individuals are respected in 
their decisions to either join 

2689
02:31:02,800 --> 02:31:05,700
or to abstain from their 
activities of others is an 

2690
02:31:05,700 --> 02:31:10,500
encourage social Norm generalize
Collective consent is rejected. 

2691
02:31:10,500 --> 02:31:13,700
As lacking individual. 
Conscious decision, for example,

2692
02:31:13,700 --> 02:31:16,600
government, which is the claim 
to the bodies and properties of 

2693
02:31:16,600 --> 02:31:18,800
others. 
Through a single, or small group

2694
02:31:18,800 --> 02:31:22,400
of mandatory, automatic rulers 
is viewed as violative of 

2695
02:31:22,400 --> 02:31:26,000
consent to extent that rule and 
control does not require 

2696
02:31:26,000 --> 02:31:29,000
individual Ascent. 
The accuracy of consents 

2697
02:31:29,000 --> 02:31:32,900
manifestation is increased with 
proactive, communication Market 

2698
02:31:32,900 --> 02:31:37,200
technology and scientific 
discovery number for minimizing 

2699
02:31:37,200 --> 02:31:40,900
the initiation of violence 
minimizing the initiation of 

2700
02:31:40,900 --> 02:31:44,000
violence against There is the 
idea that conflict should be 

2701
02:31:44,000 --> 02:31:47,700
resolved as best as possible 
without increasing the damage 

2702
02:31:47,700 --> 02:31:51,300
and harm originally caused. 
For example, if a child tripped 

2703
02:31:51,300 --> 02:31:54,600
and stepped on your toe, it 
would be escalating violence to 

2704
02:31:54,600 --> 02:31:57,800
shoot the child in the head for 
this accident because it causes 

2705
02:31:57,800 --> 02:32:00,900
more damage with intent than the
original action. 

2706
02:32:00,900 --> 02:32:03,100
Minimizing. 
The initiation of violence is a 

2707
02:32:03,100 --> 02:32:06,200
conscious effort to avoid 
initiating violence against 

2708
02:32:06,200 --> 02:32:09,300
others and to look for 
opportunities to deescalate 

2709
02:32:09,300 --> 02:32:11,500
furthering, physical harms. 
We're possible. 

2710
02:32:11,800 --> 02:32:14,600
Voluntary has consider how they 
can ask permission and 

2711
02:32:14,600 --> 02:32:18,200
communicate their wants and 
needs and seek to better resolve

2712
02:32:18,200 --> 02:32:22,300
disputes through reason, rather 
than through physical Force as 

2713
02:32:22,300 --> 02:32:25,400
you have heard now, the core 
principles of voluntary ISM, 

2714
02:32:25,400 --> 02:32:29,200
revolve around the idea of 
consent its manifestation and 

2715
02:32:29,200 --> 02:32:32,500
acceptance antithetical to 
individual consent, is the 

2716
02:32:32,500 --> 02:32:35,200
nature of government. 
Government does not seek out 

2717
02:32:35,200 --> 02:32:38,700
individual consent, they claim 
to own the bodies and property 

2718
02:32:38,700 --> 02:32:41,700
of others by default with 
automatic mandatory rule. 

2719
02:32:41,800 --> 02:32:45,400
Earth government seeks to 
minimize individual consent in 

2720
02:32:45,400 --> 02:32:48,500
favor of collectivism and 
maximize the initiations of 

2721
02:32:48,500 --> 02:32:51,900
Violence by justifying, theft by
unilateral decree. 

2722
02:32:52,100 --> 02:32:55,200
If you want to instill, a sense 
of voluntariness values in your 

2723
02:32:55,200 --> 02:32:59,000
life, you must start with love 
and empathy as that is where 

2724
02:32:59,000 --> 02:33:03,000
voluntary ISM Springs from if 
you love yourself and you can 

2725
02:33:03,000 --> 02:33:06,100
empathize with others and how 
they would want to be treated as

2726
02:33:06,100 --> 02:33:08,700
you do yourself. 
You can see how to start 

2727
02:33:08,700 --> 02:33:11,000
reciprocating voluntary us, 
Essex. 

2728
02:33:11,200 --> 02:33:13,200
Thank you for watching and a 
special. 

2729

Philosopher's boba. 
Tea level. 

2734
02:33:27,000 --> 02:33:30,000
See you soon. 
Yes, freeze. 

2735
02:33:30,700 --> 02:33:35,800
I consider it a shameful thing 
that the subject even has to be 

2736
02:33:35,800 --> 02:33:40,600
debated. 
What the US did was attack 

2737
02:33:41,100 --> 02:33:43,500
backward. 
Primitive Country that had done 

2738
02:33:43,500 --> 02:33:47,900
nothing to it. 
That used to be a bosom Ally of 

2739
02:33:47,900 --> 02:33:50,500
this, this corrupt government 
here in the US. 

2740
02:33:51,400 --> 02:33:56,400
And I can tell you this, that if
a Muslim army cat attacked the 

2741
02:33:56,400 --> 02:34:02,400
US, I should hope that every 
American would be out there. 

2742
02:34:02,400 --> 02:34:04,700
Every night, trying to kill a 
Muslim Soldier. 

2743
02:34:04,800 --> 02:34:07,400
Just like those people are out 
every night trying to kill an 

2744
02:34:07,400 --> 02:34:16,100
American Soldier. 
Now, this war for which there's 

2745
02:34:16,100 --> 02:34:18,700
no excuse whatsoever. 
And I listen to these guys. 

2746
02:34:19,500 --> 02:34:21,300
There's no excuse for it 
whatsoever. 

2747
02:34:21,300 --> 02:34:23,600
In my opinion. 
This is complete rhetoric and 

2748
02:34:23,600 --> 02:34:29,500
sophistry that you've been 
listening to this war is 

2749
02:34:29,500 --> 02:34:33,500
counterproductive. 
It cannot possibly have any good

2750
02:34:33,500 --> 02:34:36,100
up shots at all. 
I'll tell you why it's going to 

2751
02:34:36,108 --> 02:34:39,500
destroy freedom in this country 
this place. 

2752
02:34:40,000 --> 02:34:46,400
When when When the Muslims who 
feel that we're attacking Islam.

2753
02:34:46,400 --> 02:34:48,000
This is an extension of the 
Crusades. 

2754
02:34:48,000 --> 02:34:50,600
I don't want to who started the 
Crusades was at them or us and 

2755
02:34:50,600 --> 02:34:52,100
back and forth. 
Forget about it. 

2756
02:34:52,100 --> 02:34:55,600
This is ancient history. 
Literally when the next 9/11 

2757
02:34:55,600 --> 02:34:59,000
happens in this country because 
of the way this country has been

2758
02:34:59,000 --> 02:35:01,600
bureaucratized into a National 
Security State. 

2759
02:35:02,400 --> 02:35:05,100
They're going to lock this place
down like one of their numerous 

2760
02:35:05,100 --> 02:35:07,700
new federal prisons. 
And let me tell you something. 

2761
02:35:07,800 --> 02:35:10,000
If you ain't got out by then 
you're going to be in a world of

2762
02:35:10,008 --> 02:35:11,400
trouble because none of you 
people. 

2763
02:35:11,600 --> 02:35:14,500
You're all the usual. 
Rex you're you're considered 

2764
02:35:14,500 --> 02:35:17,300
enemies of the state even coming
to something like this and I'll 

2765
02:35:17,300 --> 02:35:22,000
bet I'll be surprised if there 
isn't if there isn't some spook 

2766
02:35:22,000 --> 02:35:25,700
some creep, some somebody from 
some federal agency here, taking

2767
02:35:25,700 --> 02:35:27,700
names, and writing them down 
because that's what's happened 

2768
02:35:27,700 --> 02:35:29,500
to this country. 
And that's what happens in a war

2769
02:35:29,500 --> 02:35:33,500
economy that happened in this 
country in its happened, in, in 

2770
02:35:33,500 --> 02:35:35,300
the Civil War. 
It happened in World War 1 and 

2771
02:35:35,300 --> 02:35:37,500
World War 2 and by God, it's 
really going to happen in 

2772
02:35:37,500 --> 02:35:40,000
Earnest now because they've got 
a gigantic bureaucracy that 

2773
02:35:40,000 --> 02:35:43,000
wants to find something to do. 
So the first thing this, Or is 

2774
02:35:43,000 --> 02:35:45,800
going to do, it's going to just 
totally destroy American 

2775
02:35:45,800 --> 02:35:48,800
Freedom, which has been on the 
slippery slope for a long long 

2776
02:35:48,800 --> 02:35:50,800
time. 
Second thing it's going to do is

2777
02:35:50,800 --> 02:35:55,300
it's going to totally bankrupt. 
The US government which Vietnam 

2778
02:35:55,500 --> 02:35:58,300
went a long way towards doing. 
I see this is a double-edged 

2779
02:35:58,300 --> 02:35:59,800
sword, perhaps it's a good 
thing. 

2780
02:36:01,300 --> 02:36:04,000
I mean, there's Nietzsche said 
that which is about to fall 

2781
02:36:04,000 --> 02:36:05,500
deserves to be pushed. 
So. 

2782
02:36:06,600 --> 02:36:11,100
And and the third thing is and 
this is very serious is, it's 

2783
02:36:11,100 --> 02:36:14,700
creating new enemies people. 
Loved the idea of America. 

2784
02:36:14,800 --> 02:36:20,100
Now see us as a dangerous 
criminal bully around the world.

2785
02:36:20,300 --> 02:36:22,900
So it's doing absolutely no good
whatsoever. 

2786
02:36:23,500 --> 02:36:28,000
Now winning the war, you know, 
it's funny how people say, oh, 

2787
02:36:28,000 --> 02:36:31,100
you're you're anti our troops. 
We got to support our troops and

2788
02:36:31,100 --> 02:36:32,600
so forth. 
Let me tell you something. 

2789
02:36:32,600 --> 02:36:35,800
You remember during Vietnam. 
The average American is seemed 

2790
02:36:35,800 --> 02:36:38,200
they were spitting on those 
soldiers when they came home and

2791
02:36:38,200 --> 02:36:41,400
so forth. 
All right, now if you're not 

2792
02:36:41,400 --> 02:36:44,400
actively supporting Szura is 
shoes on the other foot. 

2793
02:36:45,100 --> 02:36:49,900
I think it's all mass hysteria. 
It's all necessary, it driven by

2794
02:36:50,100 --> 02:36:52,900
rhetoric and fear and it's been 
brought up. 

2795
02:36:52,900 --> 02:36:55,100
We have to do this to defend 
America. 

2796
02:36:55,400 --> 02:36:58,600
This is complete nonsense. 
What the what these people are 

2797
02:36:58,608 --> 02:37:02,400
going to do is start World War 
Three because even though we 

2798
02:37:02,400 --> 02:37:05,200
attacked it's shameful. 
I mean, what do we pick on 

2799
02:37:05,200 --> 02:37:08,200
somebody? 
Your own size Yutaka, 20 million

2800
02:37:08,300 --> 02:37:10,500
person country where the people 
are starving? 

2801
02:37:10,500 --> 02:37:12,700
They got no technology. 
They've got nothing. 

2802
02:37:12,900 --> 02:37:15,400
Okay, we pick on these nothing 
to wear countries that can't 

2803
02:37:15,400 --> 02:37:19,600
possibly be a threat to us. 
But it's going to wind up 

2804
02:37:19,700 --> 02:37:21,600
especially if they take this war
to a ran. 

2805
02:37:22,300 --> 02:37:25,700
It's gonna wind up as World War 
3 and that's going to be really,

2806
02:37:25,700 --> 02:37:28,200
really unpleasant. 
And that's the big danger. 

2807
02:37:28,200 --> 02:37:29,200
Now. 
Who's the enemy? 

2808
02:37:29,600 --> 02:37:31,200
Well, they say well, wait a 
minute working. 

2809
02:37:31,200 --> 02:37:34,300
We attack the Germany and Japan.
This is ridiculous. 

2810
02:37:34,300 --> 02:37:35,800
This is he can't make this 
comparison. 

2811
02:37:36,100 --> 02:37:39,200
First of all, these were modern,
industrialized countries and 

2812
02:37:39,200 --> 02:37:42,600
your your flight fighting a 
one-to-one type Worf here. 

2813
02:37:42,800 --> 02:37:45,200
If you're getting into a 
guerrilla War where you're 

2814
02:37:45,200 --> 02:37:47,400
fighting the people, you don't 
even know who you're fighting, 

2815
02:37:47,600 --> 02:37:51,000
not even fighting a government. 
You're fighting and not even Al 

2816
02:37:51,000 --> 02:37:52,100
queda. 
You're not even fighting 

2817
02:37:52,100 --> 02:37:53,600
Al-Qaeda. 
This is this is another 

2818
02:37:53,600 --> 02:37:56,200
nonsense. 
They like to say we're fighting 

2819
02:37:56,200 --> 02:38:00,000
Al-Qaeda so that it seems like 
we got one enemy, one hit, one 

2820
02:38:00,000 --> 02:38:03,100
snake that if you crush the head
and we can go home, know what 

2821
02:38:03,100 --> 02:38:06,100
they've done is they've created 
50 100, Al qaeda's. 

2822
02:38:06,400 --> 02:38:09,500
It's like they said, in Vietnam.
Remember, 23, many Vietnam. 

2823
02:38:09,600 --> 02:38:11,700
Well, now you got 50 or 100 of 
these groups. 

2824
02:38:11,800 --> 02:38:13,800
They all like each other. 
You're all sympathetic with each

2825
02:38:13,800 --> 02:38:15,300
other. 
They all communicate each other.

2826
02:38:15,600 --> 02:38:17,700
They'll have pies links. 
Like they say. 

2827
02:38:18,300 --> 02:38:21,200
But I'll get is a big, nothing. 
You've got 50 or 100 of them 

2828
02:38:21,200 --> 02:38:25,800
that have been created by this. 
You can't win a Korea War. 

2829
02:38:26,600 --> 02:38:29,700
Who's the real enemy in this? 
It's not these primitive 

2830
02:38:30,500 --> 02:38:32,600
backward, Muslims, for Christ's 
sake. 

2831
02:38:32,700 --> 02:38:34,800
It's the US government. 
That's the danger. 

2832
02:38:36,700 --> 02:38:39,900
You know, during the Vietnam 
war. 

2833
02:38:42,200 --> 02:38:45,000
And I'm a big fan of Muhammad. 
Ali is and I was back then too. 

2834
02:38:45,600 --> 02:38:50,300
And when when he heroically 
declined to be drafted into that

2835
02:38:50,300 --> 02:38:55,500
slave Army, he said, I ain't got
no beef with no Viet Cong. 

2836
02:38:55,700 --> 02:38:57,500
No Viet Cong ever called me 
nigger. 

2837
02:39:00,600 --> 02:39:03,400
And frankly, I've got no beef 
with the Muslims. 

2838
02:39:03,900 --> 02:39:05,300
I mean, those are you heard me 
earlier? 

2839
02:39:05,300 --> 02:39:08,300
So I don't believe in Islam and 
I don't believe in Christianity 

2840
02:39:08,300 --> 02:39:11,200
to me at all. 
Should be flushed all of it, but

2841
02:39:11,200 --> 02:39:12,900
they're just, they're just human
beings. 

2842
02:39:12,900 --> 02:39:14,900
They're misguided. 
They don't have, they're 

2843
02:39:14,900 --> 02:39:17,300
attacking us because we attacked
them. 

2844
02:39:17,600 --> 02:39:22,100
That's what's going on. 
Are we defending democracy? 

2845
02:39:22,100 --> 02:39:23,700
Should we bring democracy to 
them? 

2846
02:39:23,800 --> 02:39:25,800
What is this? 
Where we busybodies? 

2847
02:39:26,000 --> 02:39:28,800
We know best that will give you 
something that we think is good.

2848
02:39:29,400 --> 02:39:31,700
This is this is embarassingly. 
Insane. 

2849
02:39:31,800 --> 02:39:33,600
Anyway. 
Is democracy a good thing. 

2850
02:39:33,700 --> 02:39:36,600
No, it's nothing. 
But mob, rule dressed up in a 

2851
02:39:36,600 --> 02:39:45,400
sports coat. 
What should have been done? 

2852
02:39:45,400 --> 02:39:47,100
What should have been done about
9/11? 

2853
02:39:47,300 --> 02:39:50,000
Should we have should we have 
attack Beijing? 

2854
02:39:50,000 --> 02:39:53,100
Because the Japanese bombed 
Pearl Harbor which is exactly 

2855
02:39:53,100 --> 02:39:57,500
what we did here. 
No, it was a criminal act and it

2856
02:39:57,500 --> 02:40:00,700
should have been treated like a 
giant criminal act, not as a 

2857
02:40:00,700 --> 02:40:07,300
cause for war. 
Last thing is where you're 

2858
02:40:07,300 --> 02:40:08,600
wondering. 
Well, now that we're in there, 

2859
02:40:08,600 --> 02:40:10,300
we have to win it. 
While you can't win. 

2860
02:40:10,300 --> 02:40:13,500
It is impossible. 
And it's the chances are with 

2861
02:40:13,500 --> 02:40:15,400
these Maniacs, that are running 
the government. 

2862
02:40:15,400 --> 02:40:17,700
And I think they Bush certainly 
Cheney. 

2863
02:40:17,700 --> 02:40:19,600
He may be criminally insane. 
Actually. 

2864
02:40:21,000 --> 02:40:23,300
This thing could really blow up 
out of Total Control. 

2865
02:40:23,300 --> 02:40:25,700
Certainly, if Iran gets involved
because now, you're hunting big 

2866
02:40:25,700 --> 02:40:28,900
game and the average Iranian is 
going to go from being still. 

2867
02:40:28,900 --> 02:40:31,000
So very sympathetic anti his 
government. 

2868
02:40:31,400 --> 02:40:33,200
Still sympathetic towards the 
u.s. 

2869
02:40:34,000 --> 02:40:35,500
He's going to turn it around 
entirely. 

2870
02:40:35,600 --> 02:40:37,800
And We're going to whack The 
Hornet's Nest them. 

2871
02:40:38,700 --> 02:40:41,600
So how do we stop this war that?
Now that it's been started. 

2872
02:40:41,700 --> 02:40:43,000
Certainly not by trying to win 
it. 

2873
02:40:43,000 --> 02:40:44,400
That's the definition of 
insanity. 

2874
02:40:44,400 --> 02:40:46,900
You know, what insanity is 
continuing to do something 

2875
02:40:47,000 --> 02:40:48,300
that's failed and failed and 
failed. 

2876
02:40:48,300 --> 02:40:50,400
Doing it again and again. 
And again, I'll tell you what 

2877
02:40:50,400 --> 02:40:51,700
you do. 
Here's what you do. 

2878
02:40:51,800 --> 02:40:54,500
I was President of the United 
States and I hope Ron Paul. 

2879
02:40:54,700 --> 02:40:57,300
Who's, I don't know if he's, the
only decent person that Congress

2880
02:40:57,300 --> 02:40:59,300
is absolutely. 
The only decent human being 

2881
02:40:59,300 --> 02:41:09,900
running for president this year.
And if, if through some Act of 

2882
02:41:09,900 --> 02:41:15,500
providence of some type Ron, Ron
one, what I would advise them to

2883
02:41:15,500 --> 02:41:20,000
do, three things to solve this 
problem, and this war with 

2884
02:41:20,000 --> 02:41:22,800
Islam, before it spins out of 
control and before America 

2885
02:41:22,800 --> 02:41:24,900
becomes the most hated Nation 
since the Roman Empire. 

2886
02:41:24,900 --> 02:41:28,900
Number one withdraw, all US 
troops from the hundred 

2887
02:41:28,900 --> 02:41:33,200
countries where we have 
significant all come home. 

2888
02:41:33,200 --> 02:41:35,900
All those soldiers are doing is 
picking up a lot. 

2889
02:41:36,000 --> 02:41:37,600
The bad habits in those 
countries. 

2890
02:41:39,500 --> 02:41:42,900
Number two, stop meddling in 
these countries. 

2891
02:41:42,900 --> 02:41:45,900
Government's top overthrowing, 
the government stuff, giving 

2892
02:41:45,900 --> 02:41:49,500
foreign aid to Israel and Egypt,
want all of it. 

2893
02:41:50,000 --> 02:41:53,500
And number three, apologize, 
sincerely. 

2894
02:41:57,100 --> 02:42:02,000
And an openly for having done 
these terrible things to these 

2895
02:42:02,200 --> 02:42:04,700
to these to these poor people 
with with our soldiers. 

2896
02:42:05,000 --> 02:42:07,700
And you know what? 
I think, I think those people 

2897
02:42:07,700 --> 02:42:11,000
are going to stand down and slip
back into the Dark Ages, which 

2898
02:42:11,000 --> 02:42:16,100
is, you know, where they are. 
That's my answer to that. 

2899
02:42:17,100 --> 02:42:19,500
Listen. 
I gotta say Larry and I have 

2900
02:42:19,500 --> 02:42:23,300
been friends for 30 years. 
We love each other, but we do 

2901
02:42:23,300 --> 02:42:31,600
disagree on this Larry and we 
First of all, and Larry, Larry 

2902
02:42:31,600 --> 02:42:34,400
accuse me of being a 
rhetorician, but Larry, Larry is

2903
02:42:34,408 --> 02:42:37,200
an excellent Runner. 
Russian Israel. 

2904
02:42:37,300 --> 02:42:40,200
Okay, I've got no problem with 
Israel. 

2905
02:42:40,200 --> 02:42:41,700
I've got no problem with the 
Jews. 

2906
02:42:41,800 --> 02:42:43,800
I've got no problem with the 
Arabs, are the Muslims. 

2907
02:42:45,100 --> 02:42:46,700
I just don't want a dog in that 
fight. 

2908
02:42:46,700 --> 02:42:49,400
That's all. 
And as far as the Arabs and the 

2909
02:42:49,400 --> 02:42:52,200
Muslims hating the Jews. 
No, they don't. 

2910
02:42:52,200 --> 02:42:56,400
And they never did the fact of 
the matter is, is before the 

2911
02:42:56,400 --> 02:43:00,100
creation of the state of Israel.
And the fact of the matter is 

2912
02:43:00,500 --> 02:43:05,400
the the Jews stole that land, I 
don't care about what the Bible 

2913
02:43:05,400 --> 02:43:06,900
says. 
It's our historic property. 

2914
02:43:07,300 --> 02:43:11,800
They basically stole it from the
residence there, you know, and 

2915
02:43:11,800 --> 02:43:14,200
I'm not anti Israel. 
I'm not anti John, just tell 

2916
02:43:14,200 --> 02:43:15,800
him, I'm just calling it the way
I see it. 

2917
02:43:15,900 --> 02:43:19,600
The fact is is that before the 
alley has started? 

2918
02:43:20,200 --> 02:43:21,900
Okay? 
Before the Jews started, massive

2919
02:43:21,900 --> 02:43:25,400
immigration, the Jews that were 
there got along fine with the 

2920
02:43:25,400 --> 02:43:27,000
Muslims that with the 
Christians. 

2921
02:43:27,000 --> 02:43:29,900
It was the imposition. 
Vision of a political structure.

2922
02:43:30,000 --> 02:43:32,100
This is why I'm an anarchist for
God's sake. 

2923
02:43:33,900 --> 02:43:36,500
Well, no, it's the state of 
Israel's fault. 

2924
02:43:36,500 --> 02:43:41,500
It's the creation of a state and
that's a where, where the people

2925
02:43:41,500 --> 02:43:44,400
that aren't controlling. 
The state are disenfranchised. 

2926
02:43:44,400 --> 02:43:47,100
That's the problem. 
So, I don't know how it's going 

2927
02:43:47,100 --> 02:43:49,300
to work out. 
It's a big problem, but I don't 

2928
02:43:49,300 --> 02:43:51,300
have a dog in that fight and I 
don't think you ought to either.

2929
02:43:51,300 --> 02:43:54,800
They got to work it out for 
between each other and Larry 

2930
02:43:54,800 --> 02:43:57,200
also said that I have contempt 
for the country. 

2931
02:43:57,400 --> 02:43:59,500
No. 
I have never said that. 

2932
02:43:59,500 --> 02:44:02,300
I said, I have contempt for the 
government. 

2933
02:44:07,000 --> 02:44:12,200
And I am, I am I a pacifist. 
No, I'm not a pacifist. 

2934
02:44:12,200 --> 02:44:14,700
I'm personally of the opinion. 
There are a number of people in 

2935
02:44:14,700 --> 02:44:20,600
the world that need killing, but
I'm also of the opinion that if 

2936
02:44:20,600 --> 02:44:25,500
you want to kill somebody, you 
ought to do it yourself and, and

2937
02:44:25,500 --> 02:44:28,000
you shouldn't be. 
You shouldn't try to get control

2938
02:44:28,000 --> 02:44:31,600
of some slimy government to 
force me and other people to pay

2939
02:44:31,600 --> 02:44:34,500
to force people to go over there
and pay for and have others of 

2940
02:44:34,500 --> 02:44:37,400
us. 
So we can be busy bodies on your

2941
02:44:37,400 --> 02:44:38,600
account. 
Okay. 

2942
02:44:39,000 --> 02:44:46,700
That's all I'm saying. 
I would think the Baseline 

2943
02:44:46,700 --> 02:44:49,600
assumption should be that we own
our bodies. 

2944
02:44:49,700 --> 02:44:52,000
We should get the decide for 
ourselves government. 

2945
02:44:52,000 --> 02:44:55,700
Says, no, you may not, why do 
Americans go loss 

2946
02:44:56,100 --> 02:44:59,000
libertarianism, which is the 
philosophy of peace. 

2947
02:45:00,300 --> 02:45:02,200
And that's, that's what we stand
for. 

2948
02:45:02,600 --> 02:45:06,300
So. 
There is no question that there 

2949
02:45:06,300 --> 02:45:12,000
is real exploitation in the 
world, but I would think it's 

2950
02:45:12,000 --> 02:45:17,200
fairly obvious that exploitation
is somebody who violates 

2951
02:45:17,200 --> 02:45:21,700
somebody else's rights 
exploitation to me a good 

2952
02:45:21,700 --> 02:45:24,600
example of that would be 
something like slavery and 

2953
02:45:24,600 --> 02:45:29,400
slavery is evil, and it's evil 
because you are forcing somebody

2954
02:45:29,700 --> 02:45:33,400
against their will to become 
your private property, denying 

2955
02:45:33,400 --> 02:45:38,600
them self ownership. 
You're forcing somebody to work 

2956
02:45:39,000 --> 02:45:42,700
for the good of somebody else 
and stealing the fruits of their

2957
02:45:42,700 --> 02:45:45,000
labor. 
Not like, oh, you offered them a

2958
02:45:45,008 --> 02:45:48,500
job, but you're not giving them,
you know, you're profiting off 

2959
02:45:48,500 --> 02:45:50,300
of them. 
Not what we all do. 

2960
02:45:50,600 --> 02:45:54,100
Every fucking day talking about 
actually putting somebody in 

2961
02:45:54,100 --> 02:45:56,600
Chains, dragging them around, 
and if you want to understand 

2962
02:45:56,600 --> 02:45:59,800
why that's wrong, because we all
know it's wrong, right? 

2963
02:45:59,800 --> 02:46:01,300
So that's where I started with 
this. 

2964
02:46:02,200 --> 02:46:04,400
That's where I'd start with 
libertarianism like why? 

2965
02:46:04,400 --> 02:46:10,600
I'm a Libertarian, and I start 
with morality and I say, look, 

2966
02:46:11,100 --> 02:46:12,700
do you believe in right and 
wrong? 

2967
02:46:13,700 --> 02:46:17,000
Do you believe in Morality? 
And there's some people who 

2968
02:46:17,000 --> 02:46:21,200
don't, there's some people who 
don't, but I think the vast 

2969
02:46:21,200 --> 02:46:25,200
majority of us do and pretty 
much everybody on every end of 

2970
02:46:25,200 --> 02:46:28,400
the political Spectrum. 
No matter what you look for 

2971
02:46:28,400 --> 02:46:30,100
them. 
If you look at left-wing people 

2972
02:46:30,100 --> 02:46:34,000
or right-wing people, whether 
it's Neo cons or, you know, 

2973
02:46:34,000 --> 02:46:37,500
social justice Warriors or 
neoliberals or, you know, 

2974
02:46:37,500 --> 02:46:41,200
whether it's Obama or Hillary 
Clinton, or Donald Trump or 

2975
02:46:41,200 --> 02:46:45,400
fuckin Bernie Sanders or Ron 
Paul, or Richard Spencer. 

2976
02:46:45,400 --> 02:46:48,200
Or like, The end of the 
political spectrum that you can 

2977
02:46:48,200 --> 02:46:52,500
hit on. 
Okay, all of them believe in 

2978
02:46:52,500 --> 02:46:56,000
Morality, you could probably 
pick up any article that any of 

2979
02:46:56,000 --> 02:46:59,100
them have ever written or listen
to any speech and all of them 

2980
02:46:59,100 --> 02:47:02,500
believe something is wrong. 
And something is, right. 

2981
02:47:02,600 --> 02:47:05,700
And this is an outrage, and this
is, you know, Bernie Sanders 

2982
02:47:05,700 --> 02:47:09,800
will say income inequality, as a
moral outrage and, you know, 

2983
02:47:09,800 --> 02:47:13,100
Hillary Clinton will say the 
Donald Trump supporters were, 

2984
02:47:13,200 --> 02:47:17,000
you know, these irredeemable 
bigot And misogynist and 

2985
02:47:17,000 --> 02:47:18,800
xenophobic people that you know,
they're horrible. 

2986
02:47:18,800 --> 02:47:24,300
They're morally, you know, wrong
and Donald Trump will say it's, 

2987
02:47:24,300 --> 02:47:26,200
you know, we're letting our 
country be destroyed. 

2988
02:47:26,200 --> 02:47:30,100
It's a moral outrage. 
And so everybody is accepting 

2989
02:47:30,100 --> 02:47:34,900
this one premise. 
Which is there is such thing as 

2990
02:47:34,900 --> 02:47:37,600
right and wrong. 
There is such thing as morality.

2991
02:47:37,700 --> 02:47:40,600
Now, I would say this, I think 
if there is such a thing as 

2992
02:47:40,600 --> 02:47:46,300
morality, then morality 
transcends, Government, it 

2993
02:47:46,300 --> 02:47:50,900
transcends, the state. 
In other words, if murdering 

2994
02:47:50,900 --> 02:47:55,300
somebody is wrong. 
And let's say, let's just say 

2995
02:47:55,300 --> 02:47:59,600
for steak the sake of argument. 
I'm in New York right now. 

2996
02:47:59,700 --> 02:48:02,900
Let's say over in New Jersey. 
There's there's no government. 

2997
02:48:02,900 --> 02:48:04,800
There's no State and there's no 
laws. 

2998
02:48:04,900 --> 02:48:10,100
Okay, and let's say, I, you 
know, I cross over into New 

2999
02:48:10,100 --> 02:48:14,100
Jersey and I see somebody 
getting murdered. 

3000
02:48:14,800 --> 02:48:17,900
And then I cross back over into 
New York and I see somebody 

3001
02:48:17,900 --> 02:48:20,900
getting murdered and then the 
police come and arrest him and 

3002
02:48:20,900 --> 02:48:23,200
send him to jail. 
There's no difference. 

3003
02:48:23,200 --> 02:48:25,900
Morally speaking in what I just 
saw. 

3004
02:48:25,900 --> 02:48:28,400
It's not like it wasn't a moral 
to do it in New Jersey just 

3005
02:48:28,400 --> 02:48:31,500
because there wasn't a state 
there is and it was moral to do 

3006
02:48:31,500 --> 02:48:34,200
it here in New York. 
Morality is something we 

3007
02:48:34,200 --> 02:48:39,600
recognize and then we support 
laws to come in and do justice. 

3008
02:48:39,900 --> 02:48:43,400
Okay, but it's not as if we 
believe in right and wrong. 

3009
02:48:43,400 --> 02:48:44,700
It's got to be just as true in, 
New Jersey. 

3010
02:48:44,800 --> 02:48:47,500
Jersey as it is in New York, it 
doesn't matter what rules we set

3011
02:48:47,500 --> 02:48:50,900
up and obviously the rules that 
a government sets up, don't 

3012
02:48:50,900 --> 02:48:54,300
determine morality because all 
of the things that we would all 

3013
02:48:54,300 --> 02:48:58,000
consider the most immoral things
throughout human history were 

3014
02:48:58,000 --> 02:49:02,200
pretty much all codified by law.
So slavery was the law of the 

3015
02:49:02,200 --> 02:49:06,100
land and and you know, the Nazis
were able to fucking round up 

3016
02:49:06,100 --> 02:49:08,900
all the Jews and all that shit 
because they change the laws. 

3017
02:49:09,100 --> 02:49:12,200
So changing the laws obviously 
doesn't change morality because 

3018
02:49:12,200 --> 02:49:17,000
morality has to transcend. 
Which human beings get to just 

3019
02:49:17,000 --> 02:49:20,000
decide on their whims? 
So it doesn't matter if you get 

3020
02:49:20,000 --> 02:49:22,200
a few people together and we 
decide something's different 

3021
02:49:22,200 --> 02:49:25,800
that can't change morality. 
And therefore I'd also say that 

3022
02:49:25,800 --> 02:49:29,600
you can't decide that one group 
of people are above morality. 

3023
02:49:30,000 --> 02:49:35,900
So in other words, the state is 
not above morality. 

3024
02:49:36,500 --> 02:49:38,800
They're just as morally 
responsible for what they do. 

3025
02:49:38,800 --> 02:49:41,000
At the end of the day. 
We're all human beings. 

3026
02:49:41,000 --> 02:49:43,900
We're all human beings. 
Whether it's us, whether it's 

3027
02:49:43,900 --> 02:49:46,000
the Congress, whether it's 
someone in the police 

3028
02:49:46,000 --> 02:49:48,300
department, everybody here is a 
human being. 

3029
02:49:48,300 --> 02:49:52,300
Nobody else has some, you know, 
species above humans that gets 

3030
02:49:52,300 --> 02:49:55,300
to operate above morality, 
anything that I would do. 

3031
02:49:55,300 --> 02:49:57,600
That's a moral. 
If I put on a blue uniform and 

3032
02:49:57,600 --> 02:50:00,300
three other people decide. 
I'm now a member of the state. 

3033
02:50:00,300 --> 02:50:02,800
What I would do is just as a 
moral or just as Morally 

3034
02:50:02,800 --> 02:50:06,500
legitimate as when I was a 
person because I'm still a 

3035
02:50:06,508 --> 02:50:10,400
person. 
So that being said. 

3036
02:50:13,000 --> 02:50:18,700
One thing that we all accept in 
in western civilization, 

3037
02:50:18,700 --> 02:50:22,200
advanced societies is property 
rights. 

3038
02:50:22,200 --> 02:50:23,600
And the non-aggression 
principle. 

3039
02:50:24,100 --> 02:50:28,900
Everybody accepts that every 
Everybody accepts that anywhere 

3040
02:50:28,900 --> 02:50:34,300
we every day when we go out and 
interact, we are, we are 

3041
02:50:34,900 --> 02:50:37,600
following that bait. 
Those basic principles of 

3042
02:50:37,600 --> 02:50:39,300
private property and 
non-aggression. 

3043
02:50:39,500 --> 02:50:43,200
The non-aggression principle. 
So if we're Walking down the 

3044
02:50:43,200 --> 02:50:47,800
street, you know, if, if it's me
and four of my friends and we're

3045
02:50:47,800 --> 02:50:49,200
like, hey, what movie do you 
want to go? 

3046
02:50:49,200 --> 02:50:52,100
See and someone goes? 
Oh, I want to go see this movie.

3047
02:50:52,200 --> 02:50:54,200
And then someone else goes. 
No, I want to see another movie 

3048
02:50:54,200 --> 02:50:55,900
and we go. 
Okay, let's take a vote or 

3049
02:50:55,900 --> 02:50:58,100
something like that. 
We can vote on it and we can 

3050
02:50:58,100 --> 02:51:01,900
vote on where you want to go. 
But it's understood that this is

3051
02:51:01,900 --> 02:51:04,800
all going to be voluntary. 
So it's basically up to you 

3052
02:51:04,800 --> 02:51:06,900
whether you want to accept the 
rules of this Vote or not. 

3053
02:51:06,900 --> 02:51:10,700
So if we all vote on seeing 
movie X and someone goes not 

3054
02:51:10,700 --> 02:51:12,500
dude, I just I can't sit through
a movie. 

3055
02:51:12,600 --> 02:51:15,300
I don't want to go, we can't put
a gun to his head and make him 

3056
02:51:15,300 --> 02:51:17,300
come to move the X. 
We would all recognize that 

3057
02:51:17,300 --> 02:51:19,700
that's wrong. 
You can't force people into it. 

3058
02:51:19,800 --> 02:51:23,600
You can ask them if they want to
go and every day if you walk 

3059
02:51:23,600 --> 02:51:26,400
into a restaurant and you start 
screaming curses at the top of 

3060
02:51:26,408 --> 02:51:28,700
your lungs and they go, hey, 
we're going to ask you to leave 

3061
02:51:28,700 --> 02:51:29,900
right now. 
And if you don't leave, we're 

3062
02:51:29,900 --> 02:51:32,100
going to make you. 
Leave people accept that they 

3063
02:51:32,100 --> 02:51:34,600
have a right to do that because 
that it's that guys store. 

3064
02:51:35,200 --> 02:51:37,300
It's not yours. 
So you have to leave, we 

3065
02:51:37,300 --> 02:51:38,800
understand that. 
It's wrong to break into 

3066
02:51:38,800 --> 02:51:40,900
somebody else's house because 
that's their property. 

3067
02:51:40,900 --> 02:51:42,500
Not yours. 
We understand it's wrong to 

3068
02:51:42,500 --> 02:51:43,900
punish. 
Someone in the face because 

3069
02:51:43,900 --> 02:51:45,600
that's their face. 
Not yours. 

3070
02:51:45,800 --> 02:51:49,100
It's all basically the same 
principle of non-aggression and 

3071
02:51:49,100 --> 02:51:52,400
we all accept this as a moral 
principle that it would be 

3072
02:51:52,400 --> 02:51:54,500
morally wrong to do that. 
In other words. 

3073
02:51:54,500 --> 02:51:58,100
If I were to see someone smoking
a joint outside and I come up 

3074
02:51:58,100 --> 02:52:01,000
and I stick a gun in their face 
and I throw them in Chains and I

3075
02:52:01,000 --> 02:52:03,700
dragged them into my home into a
cage that I've built in my 

3076
02:52:03,700 --> 02:52:06,800
basement and I hold them. 
There we would all recognize 

3077
02:52:06,800 --> 02:52:10,000
that this is wrong. 
This is like a moral outrage. 

3078
02:52:10,000 --> 02:52:12,700
It's not just that like, oh, 
well, this isn't a very A 

3079
02:52:12,700 --> 02:52:16,300
efficient way for society to 
work and you haven't been chosen

3080
02:52:16,300 --> 02:52:18,200
as the person who's allowed to 
do that. 

3081
02:52:18,200 --> 02:52:20,800
No, you would go. 
This is fucking wrong and you 

3082
02:52:20,800 --> 02:52:23,700
deserve to be punished for that 
because that is wrong. 

3083
02:52:23,700 --> 02:52:26,300
You owe this guy something now 
because you have wronged him, 

3084
02:52:26,400 --> 02:52:30,600
you kidnapped someone you 
fucking traumatized harassed, 

3085
02:52:30,600 --> 02:52:35,400
kidnapped and abused somebody. 
It's a violation of their rights

3086
02:52:35,500 --> 02:52:39,000
of their their self ownership. 
Okay? 

3087
02:52:40,000 --> 02:52:43,700
So if that is true, that it is 
morally wrong for me or you to 

3088
02:52:43,700 --> 02:52:46,700
do something like that. 
Then it's also morally wrong for

3089
02:52:46,700 --> 02:52:49,800
somebody in a blue uniform, with
a shiny badge to do that. 

3090
02:52:50,000 --> 02:52:51,800
To me. 
That's the essence of why I'm a 

3091
02:52:51,808 --> 02:52:55,700
Libertarian. 
That's the essence of what why I

3092
02:52:55,800 --> 02:53:00,300
believe the the things that I do
because it's not it's about 

3093
02:53:00,300 --> 02:53:02,100
believing in, right? 
And wrong. 

3094
02:53:02,500 --> 02:53:06,400
And the fact is that private 
property, and the non-aggression

3095
02:53:06,400 --> 02:53:09,600
principle is something that we 
all accept every single day. 

3096
02:53:09,800 --> 02:53:14,000
As moral rules as a basic moral 
starting point, it's not, that 

3097
02:53:14,000 --> 02:53:16,600
libertarianism is a complete 
moral philosophy. 

3098
02:53:16,600 --> 02:53:20,700
It's not. 
It's a basic moral philosophy of

3099
02:53:20,700 --> 02:53:24,200
Justice. 
It's the philosophy of peace is 

3100
02:53:24,200 --> 02:53:25,700
not telling you everything else 
about life. 

3101
02:53:25,700 --> 02:53:28,400
I mean, piece is just kind of a 
prerequisite, like first. 

3102
02:53:28,400 --> 02:53:29,900
Let's not be violent toward each
other. 

3103
02:53:30,400 --> 02:53:32,800
Let's try to work out a system 
where we can avoid these violent

3104
02:53:32,800 --> 02:53:35,900
conflicts, what we do with that.
There's a whole bunch of deeper 

3105
02:53:35,900 --> 02:53:39,600
and Next Level shit, but it's 
like, it's a basic philosophy. 

3106
02:53:39,700 --> 02:53:42,400
That says, we all agree with 
this moral belief. 

3107
02:53:42,400 --> 02:53:45,600
Every single day yet. 
We carve out this special area 

3108
02:53:45,600 --> 02:53:48,200
for the state and they get to be
above it. 

3109
02:53:48,200 --> 02:53:51,500
All they can do all of these 
things that we would think you 

3110
02:53:51,500 --> 02:53:56,000
are a despicable human being. 
If you did every single day, 

3111
02:53:56,000 --> 02:53:59,200
they do these things. 
And that that is wrong, we 

3112
02:53:59,200 --> 02:54:01,800
should not do that. 
We should view the state morally

3113
02:54:01,800 --> 02:54:03,800
the same way. 
We view any other group of 

3114
02:54:03,800 --> 02:54:07,700
people, because, after all, 
that's all they are, is a group 

3115
02:54:07,700 --> 02:54:11,700
of people. 
It's the the hole. 

3116
02:54:13,100 --> 02:54:16,000
Like statism is just a fucking 
religion. 

3117
02:54:16,200 --> 02:54:19,400
It's just a religion. 
It's got everything. 

3118
02:54:19,500 --> 02:54:22,300
It's got its deities. 
It's got its priests. 

3119
02:54:22,300 --> 02:54:24,400
It's got its hole. 
It's like, well, that's man in 

3120
02:54:24,400 --> 02:54:26,600
blue uniform with badge, so he 
can do things. 

3121
02:54:26,600 --> 02:54:29,800
The rest of us, can't do. 
It's all just a fucking 

3122
02:54:29,800 --> 02:54:31,900
illusion, man. 
It's all just a bullshit, 

3123
02:54:31,900 --> 02:54:34,700
religion. 
In fact, the whole thing doesn't

3124
02:54:34,700 --> 02:54:37,600
exist. 
There's no such thing as the 

3125
02:54:37,608 --> 02:54:40,300
state. 
It's just an idea. 

3126
02:54:41,000 --> 02:54:44,600
It's just a fucking idea. 
All there are are are people who

3127
02:54:44,600 --> 02:54:46,700
are ordering around people with 
guns. 

3128
02:54:46,800 --> 02:54:49,400
And then there are people who 
those guys with guns are 

3129
02:54:49,400 --> 02:54:52,000
sticking the guns in their back 
and making them do things. 

3130
02:54:52,100 --> 02:54:55,500
But in terms of morality, 
there's no fucking difference. 

3131
02:54:55,700 --> 02:54:59,100
If I came up with some great 
charity, and I was like, hey, 

3132
02:54:59,100 --> 02:55:03,600
everybody, I think we should 
give money to this charity and 

3133
02:55:03,600 --> 02:55:04,800
you were like, okay. 
I don't know. 

3134
02:55:04,800 --> 02:55:07,400
Seems like a decent charity. 
And then I said, well, if you 

3135
02:55:07,400 --> 02:55:10,100
don't give money to this 
charity, I'm going to take you 

3136
02:55:10,100 --> 02:55:14,000
and throw you in a fucking cage.
We would flat-out be like that's

3137
02:55:14,000 --> 02:55:16,200
extortion. 
That is wrong. 

3138
02:55:16,700 --> 02:55:18,700
It's, I don't care how Noble 
your charity was. 

3139
02:55:20,200 --> 02:55:23,200
And by the way, for a lot more 
money than goes to some Noble. 

3140
02:55:23,200 --> 02:55:26,600
Charity goes to mass murder 
campaigns and foreign countries 

3141
02:55:26,600 --> 02:55:30,200
that have never threatened us 
and that is fucking wrong. 

3142
02:55:30,300 --> 02:55:32,500
The same way of you killed. 
A bunch of people who would be 

3143
02:55:32,500 --> 02:55:35,700
wrong if the military does it. 
It's just as fucking wrong. 

3144
02:55:36,200 --> 02:55:38,700
So to me, that's why I'm a 
libertarian. 

3145
02:55:40,300 --> 02:55:41,700
That's where I'm going to wrap 
up today. 

3146
02:55:42,200 --> 02:55:48,500
Fuck Karl Marx. if in time, 
Blasting. 

3147
02:55:51,800 --> 02:55:58,200
I'm from from be stopped. 
Yeah, but blasting a drop of a 

3148
02:55:58,200 --> 02:56:05,300
facilitator for other burgers. 
Finish it up. 

3149
02:56:05,900 --> 02:56:07,600
He doesn't let him do some 
blasting. 

3150
02:56:07,600 --> 02:56:12,200
A yeah, there's about new 
inertial, you running. 

3151
02:56:12,600 --> 02:56:19,000
Yeah, mock-mock-mock-mock. 
But um, yeah, so listen to 

3152
02:56:23,700 --> 02:56:33,800
yourself. 
Have difficulty making data are 

3153
02:56:33,800 --> 02:56:36,900

two kind of cannot also from 

3154
02:56:37,600 --> 02:56:39,800
that's resulted in. 
Not see the okra to Black border

so fun with them. 

3156
02:56:41,800 --> 02:56:44,300
If you're planning for note, of 
course, of an audience to start 

3157
02:56:44,300 --> 02:56:46,300
and we will tease look the event
as we shall. 

3158
02:56:46,700 --> 02:56:48,000
And that's really, really key 
value. 

3159
02:56:48,000 --> 02:56:49,600
Who are you can? 
It's shocking that they deserve 

3160
02:56:49,600 --> 02:56:53,300
the setting. 
It kept it for of who Da Brat

That's what the tiles we have.

her team do for blasting Health.

3163
02:57:01,800 --> 02:57:09,700
Very Congress would have burst 
onto the scene now. 

3164
02:57:14,500 --> 02:57:16,700
And and how clear are the 
others? 

3165
02:57:16,700 --> 02:57:18,600
Wait on the incomes of lasting 
about 20. 

3166
02:57:18,600 --> 02:57:23,700
Capreit endeared, the km helps 
in infamy red and black light, 

3167
02:57:23,800 --> 02:57:26,500
but is your idea to look which 
were blasting metallic? 

3168
02:57:30,700 --> 02:57:32,700
It's just what you told him. 
So you could tell who can offer 

3169

For military inspection back on

For it was a witty and truthful 

3212
03:00:07,000 --> 03:00:09,700
rejoinder, which was given by a 
captured pirate to Alexander. 

3213
03:00:09,700 --> 03:00:11,600
The Great, the king asked the 
fellow. 

3214
03:00:11,600 --> 03:00:14,500
What is your idea and infesting 
the Sea and the pirate answered 

3215
03:00:14,500 --> 03:00:17,500
with uninhibited insolence, the 
same as yours and infesting the 

3216

a tiny craft i'm called a pirate

3217

because you have a mighty Navy 
your called an emperor these 

3218
03:00:23,800 --> 03:00:26,200
words written by st. 
Augustine encapsulate one of the

3219
03:00:26,200 --> 03:00:28,800
most fundamental problems of 
political philosophy. 

3220
03:00:29,300 --> 03:00:32,000
Namely why governments are 
morally Justified to take 

3221
03:00:32,000 --> 03:00:34,800
actions that no individual or 
group of individuals are 

3222
03:00:34,800 --> 03:00:35,700
permitted. 
Take. 

3223
03:00:37,500 --> 03:00:40,300
Governments demand, a portion of
everyone's income decide what 

3224
03:00:40,300 --> 03:00:43,700
substances may be consumed 
regulate, and restrict voluntary

3225
03:00:43,700 --> 03:00:47,300
transactions, and even Force 
individuals to fight their Wars.

3226
03:00:47,700 --> 03:00:50,200
These among many other things 
would be seen as ethically 

3227
03:00:50,200 --> 03:00:53,700
impermissible if undertaken, by 
any individual or group other 

3228
03:00:53,700 --> 03:00:58,400
than one's government. 
Justifying this special moral 

3229
03:00:58,400 --> 03:01:00,800
status of government is known as
the problem of political 

3230
03:01:00,800 --> 03:01:03,200
Authority. 
In this video relying on the 

3231
03:01:03,200 --> 03:01:05,500
work of contemporary 
philosopher, Michael humor and 

3232
03:01:05,500 --> 03:01:07,400
his book, the problem of 
political Authority. 

3233
03:01:07,700 --> 03:01:08,900
We will look at the various 
ways. 

3234
03:01:08,900 --> 03:01:12,800
This problem has been approached
before we begin, it should be 

3235
03:01:12,800 --> 03:01:15,800
noted that our purpose is not to
examine whether government is 

3236
03:01:15,800 --> 03:01:18,600
beneficial or a prerequisite for
an adequately functioning 

3237
03:01:18,600 --> 03:01:21,000
Society for, as humor points 
out. 

3238
03:01:21,300 --> 03:01:23,600
The question is whether the 
government has certain special 

3239
03:01:23,600 --> 03:01:26,300
rights that you, and I do not 
have and whether we have certain

3240
03:01:26,500 --> 03:01:29,000
Special duties to the government
that we do not have towards 

3241
03:01:29,000 --> 03:01:30,800
anyone else. 
A government. 

3242
03:01:30,800 --> 03:01:33,900
Just like a private vigilante, 
could be highly beneficial and 

3243
03:01:33,900 --> 03:01:38,400
yet still lacked Authority. 
An easy and relatively 

3244
03:01:38,400 --> 03:01:41,800
uncontroversial way to justify 
political Authority, would be to

3245
03:01:41,800 --> 03:01:44,100
say that people explicitly 
consent to it. 

3246
03:01:44,500 --> 03:01:46,800
This was the route that the 17th
century philosopher. 

3247
03:01:46,800 --> 03:01:50,000
John Locke took with his social 
contract theory as the name 

3248
03:01:50,000 --> 03:01:52,200
implies. 
The social contract theory is 

3249
03:01:52,200 --> 03:01:54,900
based on the idea that there is 
a contractual relationship 

3250
03:01:54,900 --> 03:01:56,600
between the government and those
governed. 

3251
03:01:56,900 --> 03:01:59,600
However, while Locke's theory is
certainly famous. 

3252
03:01:59,700 --> 03:02:02,800
It is now largely of historical 
interest because no such 

3253
03:02:02,800 --> 03:02:06,500
contract exists nor has such a 
contractual relationship ever 

3254
03:02:06,500 --> 03:02:08,300
played. 
Schiff, any role in forming 

3255
03:02:08,300 --> 03:02:11,700
governments, the philosopher, 
David Hume realized this and 

3256
03:02:11,700 --> 03:02:14,900
suggested that, most governments
were not formed by contract, but

3257
03:02:14,900 --> 03:02:20,000
rather through conquest and War.
The lack of evidence to support.

3258
03:02:20,000 --> 03:02:22,800
John Locke's theory has not LED 
philosophers to completely 

3259
03:02:22,800 --> 03:02:25,000
abandon the consent theory of 
government. 

3260
03:02:25,200 --> 03:02:28,100
Rather instead of suggesting 
that there is some form of 

3261
03:02:28,100 --> 03:02:30,700
explicit consent between the 
government and governed. 

3262
03:02:30,900 --> 03:02:34,700
It is now suggested that the 
consent is implicit, implicit 

3263
03:02:34,700 --> 03:02:37,800
consent is consent, granted, not
through any verbal or written 

3264
03:02:37,800 --> 03:02:40,200
communication, but through one's
conduct. 

3265
03:02:41,700 --> 03:02:44,300
Humor suggests that there are 
four main ways that people can 

3266
03:02:44,300 --> 03:02:47,300
potentially Grant implicit 
consent, to their government. 

3267
03:02:47,500 --> 03:02:50,300
Firstly, there is the case of 
passive consent. 

3268
03:02:50,500 --> 03:02:53,500
This is where one expresses 
agreement to a proposal simply 

3269
03:02:53,500 --> 03:02:56,700
by refraining from opposing it. 
The second case is that of 

3270
03:02:56,700 --> 03:03:00,000
consent through acceptance of 
benefits arising when one 

3271
03:03:00,000 --> 03:03:03,600
commits oneself to accepting 
certain demands by soliciting or

3272
03:03:03,600 --> 03:03:07,000
voluntarily accepting benefits 
to which those demands are known

3273
03:03:07,000 --> 03:03:09,600
to be attached. 
The third type of implicit 

3274
03:03:09,600 --> 03:03:12,900
consent can be Called consent 
through presence arising when 

3275
03:03:12,900 --> 03:03:16,600
one indicates agreement to a 
proposal merely by remaining in 

3276
03:03:16,600 --> 03:03:19,000
some location. 
The fourth type humor 

3277
03:03:19,000 --> 03:03:21,800
identifies, which is called 
consent through participation 

3278
03:03:22,100 --> 03:03:25,100
occurs, when one implicitly 
consents to the rules, governing

3279
03:03:25,100 --> 03:03:28,600
a practice by voluntarily 
participating in the practice. 

3280
03:03:31,200 --> 03:03:34,000
At first glance one might think 
that there is a good chance that

3281
03:03:34,000 --> 03:03:37,000
at least one form of implicit. 
Consent, justifies political 

3282
03:03:37,000 --> 03:03:40,000
Authority, but under closer 
examination, this becomes 

3283
03:03:40,000 --> 03:03:43,600
doubtful, as humor points out, 
in order for a contract or 

3284
03:03:43,600 --> 03:03:46,500
agreement, to be valid. 
Whether based on explicit or 

3285
03:03:46,500 --> 03:03:49,000
implicit consent. 
It must satisfy certain 

3286
03:03:49,000 --> 03:03:51,800
criteria. 
For example, for an agreement 

3287
03:03:51,800 --> 03:03:54,700
between two parties to be valid.
Each party must have a 

3288
03:03:54,700 --> 03:03:58,500
reasonable way of opting out. 
However, short of abandoning 

3289
03:03:58,500 --> 03:04:00,600
one's home, in the jurisdiction 
of one's government. 

3290
03:04:00,900 --> 03:04:03,600
There is really nothing one. 
Can do to opt out and prevent 

3291
03:04:03,600 --> 03:04:06,600
being subject to political 
Authority for this reason. 

3292
03:04:06,600 --> 03:04:09,200
All the implicit consent 
possibilities for political 

3293
03:04:09,200 --> 03:04:11,800
Authority except consent through
presence. 

3294
03:04:12,000 --> 03:04:14,600
Fail to meet this criteria of 
valid consent. 

3295
03:04:14,700 --> 03:04:18,100
As humor explains almost 
everyone knows that the state 

3296
03:04:18,100 --> 03:04:20,600
will still impose the same laws 
in the same taxes. 

3297
03:04:20,600 --> 03:04:23,700
On one regardless of whether one
objects-- to the government, 

3298
03:04:23,700 --> 03:04:26,600
accepts the government service 
or participates in the political

3299
03:04:26,600 --> 03:04:29,400
process. 
Therefore, once failure to 

3300
03:04:29,400 --> 03:04:32,500
object ones acceptance. 
Of government services, and even

3301
03:04:32,500 --> 03:04:35,600
one's participation in the 
political process, cannot be 

3302
03:04:35,600 --> 03:04:40,900
taken to imply agreement. 
Another criteria for consent 

3303
03:04:40,900 --> 03:04:43,700
between two parties to be valid,
is the requirement that both 

3304
03:04:43,700 --> 03:04:47,300
parties have obligations to each
other, which if unfulfilled 

3305
03:04:47,400 --> 03:04:50,200
grants the other party adequate 
grounds for terminating the 

3306
03:04:50,200 --> 03:04:52,800
agreement. 
These days. 

3307
03:04:52,800 --> 03:04:55,500
It may be difficult for people 
to agree on what exactly 

3308
03:04:55,500 --> 03:04:58,400
government is obligated to do. 
But most will agree that it 

3309
03:04:58,400 --> 03:05:01,500
includes enforcing the rights of
citizens and protecting them 

3310
03:05:01,500 --> 03:05:03,500
from criminals. 
Both domestic and foreign 

3311
03:05:03,800 --> 03:05:06,700
whether one sees this as the 
only real obligation governments

3312
03:05:06,700 --> 03:05:08,800
have or if some claim 
governments have further 

3313
03:05:08,800 --> 03:05:11,100
obligations. 
The fact is that governments do 

3314
03:05:11,100 --> 03:05:13,500
not behave in accordance with 
the criteria of mutual 

3315
03:05:13,500 --> 03:05:16,100
obligation. 
There are innumerable historical

3316
03:05:16,100 --> 03:05:18,700
examples of severe government 
failures to protect their 

3317
03:05:18,700 --> 03:05:23,400
citizens and few if any examples
of a Mint voluntarily abdicating

3318
03:05:23,400 --> 03:05:25,700
power. 
In fact, government failures. 

3319
03:05:25,700 --> 03:05:28,600
These days tend to result in 
increased government power. 

3320
03:05:28,800 --> 03:05:31,100
As more laws are passed on the 
assumption that they will 

3321
03:05:31,100 --> 03:05:36,400
prevent future failings. 
The inadequacies of the implicit

3322
03:05:36,400 --> 03:05:38,700
consent theories to justify 
political Authority. 

3323
03:05:38,900 --> 03:05:42,000
Have led some to suggest that 
consent arises through the will 

3324
03:05:42,000 --> 03:05:44,300
of the majority as expressed at 
the voting booth. 

3325
03:05:44,700 --> 03:05:47,300
The problem with this theory is 
that to accept it. 

3326
03:05:47,400 --> 03:05:50,300
One must also accept the premise
that the opinions of a large 

3327
03:05:50,300 --> 03:05:53,400
group of people can somehow 
impose obligations on a smaller 

3328
03:05:53,400 --> 03:05:55,900
group. 
Some may accept this but it is 

3329
03:05:55,900 --> 03:05:58,300
certainly a view which runs 
counter to Common Sense. 

3330
03:05:58,600 --> 03:06:01,600
For example, if you are out for 
dinner with four people could 

3331
03:06:01,600 --> 03:06:04,500
the consensus of three of them 
that you pay the Bill make you 

3332
03:06:04,500 --> 03:06:08,600
morally, obligated to pay. 
Furthermore this belief that 

3333
03:06:08,600 --> 03:06:12,100
majority opinion is enough to 
coercively impose obligations on

3334
03:06:12,100 --> 03:06:15,400
minorities can lead to what is 
called the tyranny of the masses

3335
03:06:15,800 --> 03:06:17,300
comments. 
By some of the greatest thinkers

3336
03:06:17,300 --> 03:06:20,000
in history. 
Reveal their distrust of vesting

3337
03:06:20,000 --> 03:06:23,200
too much power into the will of 
the majority Aristotle. 

3338
03:06:23,200 --> 03:06:27,500
Wrote unlimited democracy is 
just like oligarchy at tyranny 

3339
03:06:27,500 --> 03:06:30,200
spread over a large. 
Number of people Benjamin 

3340
03:06:30,200 --> 03:06:33,000
Franklin famously said, 
democracy is two wolves in a 

3341
03:06:33,000 --> 03:06:35,800
lamb voting on what they're 
going to have for lunch and 

3342
03:06:35,800 --> 03:06:38,000
Edmund Burke made this Minute of
this. 

3343
03:06:38,000 --> 03:06:39,700
I am certain that in a 
democracy. 

3344
03:06:39,700 --> 03:06:42,400
The majority of the citizens is 
capable of exercising. 

3345
03:06:42,600 --> 03:06:45,800
The most cruel oppression upon 
the minority and that oppression

3346
03:06:45,800 --> 03:06:48,700
of the minority will extend too 
far greater numbers and will be 

3347
03:06:48,700 --> 03:06:51,900
carried on with much greater 
Fury than can almost ever be 

3348
03:06:51,900 --> 03:06:54,500
apprehended from the Dominion of
a single specter. 

3349
03:06:56,500 --> 03:06:59,200
The difficulty of justifying 
political Authority, based on 

3350
03:06:59,200 --> 03:07:02,800
consent, whether it be explicit 
implicit or the consent of a 

3351
03:07:02,808 --> 03:07:05,500
majority, has led some to resort
to what are called, 

3352
03:07:05,500 --> 03:07:08,200
consequentialist Arguments for 
political Authority. 

3353
03:07:08,800 --> 03:07:11,500
The consequentialist argument 
suggests that the benefits that 

3354
03:07:11,500 --> 03:07:14,800
arise from vesting government 
with a special moral status are 

3355
03:07:14,800 --> 03:07:18,300
significant enough that they 
warrant the cost of obedience or

3356
03:07:18,300 --> 03:07:21,100
in other words, political 
Authority is justified by The 

3357
03:07:21,100 --> 03:07:25,000
Beneficial consequences that 
arise from government action for

3358
03:07:25,000 --> 03:07:27,900
the consequentialist. 
To hold a, government must be 

3359
03:07:27,900 --> 03:07:31,500
seen as providing benefits that 
outweigh the costs of obedience.

3360
03:07:31,800 --> 03:07:34,600
And this has not always been the
case as the author Lark and 

3361
03:07:34,600 --> 03:07:37,100
Rose. 
Put it flip through any history 

3362
03:07:37,100 --> 03:07:38,500
book. 
And you will see that most of 

3363
03:07:38,500 --> 03:07:41,100
the Injustice and destruction, 
that has occurred throughout the

3364
03:07:41,100 --> 03:07:44,400
world was not the result of 
people breaking the law, but 

3365
03:07:44,400 --> 03:07:47,300
rather the result of people 
obeying and enforcing the laws 

3366
03:07:47,300 --> 03:07:50,100
of various governments, the 
evils that have been committed 

3367
03:07:50,100 --> 03:07:53,300
in spite of Authority or trivial
compared to the evils that have 

3368
03:07:53,300 --> 03:07:55,200
been committed in the name of 
authority. 

3369
03:07:57,100 --> 03:07:59,900
But even if One Believes the 
benefits of government largely 

3370
03:07:59,900 --> 03:08:01,500
outweigh, the costs of 
obedience. 

3371
03:08:01,500 --> 03:08:05,200
As many do it is not clear how 
merely providing benefits can 

3372
03:08:05,200 --> 03:08:08,300
justify the special moral status
associated with political 

3373
03:08:08,300 --> 03:08:10,900
Authority. 
If providing benefits, gives the

3374
03:08:10,900 --> 03:08:13,300
individuals who make up 
government a special moral 

3375
03:08:13,300 --> 03:08:16,500
status, does it not follow that?
Other groups should be able to 

3376
03:08:16,500 --> 03:08:18,300
obtain this special moral 
status. 

3377
03:08:18,600 --> 03:08:22,400
If they provide significant 
benefits to society, it is 

3378
03:08:22,400 --> 03:08:25,000
doubtful that many people are 
willing to Grant beneficial 

3379
03:08:25,000 --> 03:08:26,500
Vigilantes the power of 
political. 

3380
03:08:26,500 --> 03:08:28,200
Authority. 
And so, when reply to this 

3381
03:08:28,200 --> 03:08:30,400
question, one may claim that 
only a government. 

3382
03:08:30,400 --> 03:08:33,400
Can obtain the elevated moral 
status of political Authority, 

3383
03:08:33,400 --> 03:08:36,800
but such a response would be 
begging the question or in other

3384
03:08:36,800 --> 03:08:40,100
words, assuming what must be 
proven and what must be proven 

3385
03:08:40,100 --> 03:08:43,300
in this case is why governments 
have a special moral status, 

3386
03:08:43,300 --> 03:08:45,400
that differentiates them from 
all others. 

3387
03:08:45,400 --> 03:08:49,500
This issue of how providing 
benefits can confer government, 

3388
03:08:49,500 --> 03:08:52,700
but no others with a special 
moral status, coupled with the 

3389
03:08:52,700 --> 03:08:55,900
open question of just how 
beneficial governments are makes

3390
03:08:55,900 --> 03:08:59,300
the When she lists argument 
difficult, for many to accept. 

3391
03:09:00,300 --> 03:09:03,300
To conclude while it is apparent
that the problem of political 

3392
03:09:03,300 --> 03:09:06,500
Authority is both an important 
issue and one which has not 

3393
03:09:06,500 --> 03:09:09,000
adequately been resolved. 
It is interesting that. 

3394
03:09:09,000 --> 03:09:12,500
So few people pay attention to 
the issue, perhaps David Hume 

3395
03:09:12,500 --> 03:09:14,300
was onto something. 
When he wrote in the 18th 

3396
03:09:14,300 --> 03:09:18,200
century, No Maxim is more 
conformable both to prudence and

3397
03:09:18,200 --> 03:09:21,500
morals than to submit quietly to
the government which we find 

3398
03:09:21,500 --> 03:09:24,500
established in the country where
we happen to live without 

3399
03:09:24,500 --> 03:09:26,700
inquiring to curiously into its 
origin. 

3400
03:09:26,700 --> 03:09:29,900
And first establishment, few 
governments will Bear being 

3401
03:09:29,900 --> 03:09:33,200
examined. 
So rigorously, Let me ask you 

3402
03:09:33,200 --> 03:09:36,300
this in a sense, philosophical 
question. 

3403
03:09:36,300 --> 03:09:38,300
We've gone a little bit into 
philosophy today. 

3404
03:09:39,600 --> 03:09:42,500
I believe many people in my own 
State, believe that Health Care 

3405
03:09:42,500 --> 03:09:46,600
is a right righ, T regardless of
income that every American has 

3406
03:09:46,600 --> 03:09:50,300
the right to the best quality 
health care that the system can 

3407
03:09:50,300 --> 03:09:52,800
offer regardless of income that.
If you're low income kid, you 

3408
03:09:52,800 --> 03:09:55,500
are wealthy kid. 
You have the same opportunity to

3409
03:09:55,500 --> 03:10:00,600
access the healthcare system. 
Do believe that, I believe that.

3410
03:10:01,800 --> 03:10:04,300
Every person or to get good 
health care. 

3411
03:10:04,300 --> 03:10:07,300
And the Hippocratic Oath says 
that I would provide Health Care

3412
03:10:07,300 --> 03:10:10,500
regardless of whether the person
pays me or not. 

3413
03:10:10,900 --> 03:10:12,900
So I definitely did people need 
health care. 

3414
03:10:13,000 --> 03:10:14,400
Give the mic over to some of the
Pole. 

3415
03:10:15,200 --> 03:10:18,300
Thank you very much with regard 
to the idea of whether or not 

3416
03:10:18,300 --> 03:10:21,400
you have a right to healthcare. 
You have to realize what that 

3417
03:10:21,400 --> 03:10:23,600
implies. 
It's not an abstraction. 

3418
03:10:23,900 --> 03:10:26,000
I'm a physician. 
That means you have a right to 

3419
03:10:26,000 --> 03:10:29,600
come to my house and conscript 
me means you believe in slavery.

3420
03:10:30,100 --> 03:10:32,900
It means that you're going to 
enslave Not only me, but the 

3421
03:10:32,900 --> 03:10:37,000
janitor at my hospital, the 
person who cleans my office, the

3422
03:10:37,000 --> 03:10:39,700
assistants who work in my 
office, the nurses. 

3423
03:10:40,000 --> 03:10:43,700
If you have a right to their 
services, basically, once you 

3424
03:10:43,700 --> 03:10:46,700
imply a belief in a right to 
someone Services, you have a 

3425
03:10:46,700 --> 03:10:49,100
right to Plumbing. 
Do you have a right to water? 

3426
03:10:49,100 --> 03:10:52,600
Do you have a right to food? 
You're basically saying that you

3427
03:10:52,600 --> 03:10:55,500
believe in slavery. 
You're saying, you believe in 

3428
03:10:55,500 --> 03:10:58,300
taking and extracting from 
another person. 

3429
03:10:58,600 --> 03:11:01,300
Our founding documents were very
clear about this. 

3430
03:11:01,300 --> 03:11:03,500
You have a right? 
Right to pursue happiness, but 

3431
03:11:03,500 --> 03:11:05,500
there's no guarantee of physical
Comfort. 

3432
03:11:05,500 --> 03:11:09,300
There's no guarantee of concrete
items in order to give something

3433
03:11:09,300 --> 03:11:12,400
concrete or someone surface. 
You got to take it from someone.

3434
03:11:12,600 --> 03:11:14,900
So there's an implied threat of 
force. 

3435
03:11:15,300 --> 03:11:17,800
If I'm a physician in your 
community and you say you have a

3436
03:11:17,800 --> 03:11:20,700
right to healthcare. 
Do you have a right to beat down

3437
03:11:20,700 --> 03:11:24,100
my door with the police? 
Escort me away and forced me to 

3438
03:11:24,100 --> 03:11:27,900
take care of you. 
That's ultimately what the right

3439
03:11:27,900 --> 03:11:30,600
to free health care would be if 
you believe in a right to 

3440
03:11:30,600 --> 03:11:34,000
healthcare your Leaving in 
basically the use of force to 

3441
03:11:34,000 --> 03:11:37,800
conscript, someone to do your 
bidding now, just because it's a

3442
03:11:37,800 --> 03:11:41,600
noble thing, to believe that we 
are obligated as Christians. 

3443
03:11:41,600 --> 03:11:43,500
We are obligated to the 
Hippocratic Oath. 

3444
03:11:43,900 --> 03:11:47,000
We have always done this since 
the beginning of modern 

3445
03:11:47,000 --> 03:11:50,000
medicine. 
We have always provided 100% 

3446
03:11:50,000 --> 03:11:52,200
access. 
I do it in exchange for 

3447
03:11:52,200 --> 03:11:54,500
privileges. 
I do it because I believe in the

3448
03:11:54,500 --> 03:11:57,600
Hippocratic Oath. 
But my Hospital also says to me,

3449
03:11:57,700 --> 03:11:59,600
you can only operate in this 
hospital. 

3450
03:11:59,600 --> 03:12:02,200
If you agree to see everyone 
come coming through the 

3451
03:12:02,200 --> 03:12:04,900
emergency room. 
I always have we have always 

3452
03:12:04,900 --> 03:12:07,500
treated. 
We have always had 100% access 

3453
03:12:07,500 --> 03:12:10,200
through our emergency room. 
Those were for emergencies. 

3454
03:12:10,200 --> 03:12:12,000
They're not the best place for 
Primary Care. 

3455
03:12:12,000 --> 03:12:15,400
We all agree with that, but 
we've always had 100% free 

3456
03:12:15,400 --> 03:12:17,300
access. 
I think it's fair to say that 

3457
03:12:17,600 --> 03:12:20,000
senator Paul and I have some 
slight philosophical. 

3458
03:12:20,400 --> 03:12:23,500
Differences, my profound 
question to dr. 

3459
03:12:23,500 --> 03:12:27,400
Krauss is, do you as an employee
at a federally qualified Health 

3460
03:12:27,400 --> 03:12:30,900
Center? 
Consider yourself as a slave? 

3461
03:12:35,300 --> 03:12:37,200
I love my job. 
I chose to work there. 

3462
03:12:37,200 --> 03:12:43,200
I do not feel like a slave. 
Thank you, Ms. Drape of the 

3463
03:12:43,200 --> 03:12:45,800
implication again from my 
friend. 

3464
03:12:45,800 --> 03:12:50,100
Senator Paul is that we have 
kind of solved the problem of 

3465
03:12:50,100 --> 03:12:54,300
healthcare access in America 
that the at any place in the 

3466
03:12:54,308 --> 03:12:55,900
country. 
I guess that anybody who has a 

3467
03:12:55,900 --> 03:12:58,600
problem. 
If you're on Medicaid, if you 

3468
03:12:58,600 --> 03:13:00,500
have no health insurance, maybe 
you have health insurance 

3469
03:13:00,800 --> 03:13:03,100
because walk in the door 
tomorrow and find a doctor to 

3470
03:13:03,100 --> 03:13:08,200
treat you. 
Is that true in your judgment? 

3471
03:13:08,600 --> 03:13:11,500
Well, there's a huge body of 
literature that discusses the 

3472
03:13:11,500 --> 03:13:13,200
difficulties, particularly 
Medicaid. 

3473
03:13:13,200 --> 03:13:15,600
Beneficiaries had to finding a 
physician. 

3474
03:13:15,800 --> 03:13:18,600
There are many Physicians who 
are unwilling to accept Medicaid

3475
03:13:18,600 --> 03:13:20,800
patients. 
And also for those who are 

3476
03:13:20,800 --> 03:13:24,400
uninsured, face equally 
challenging, or maybe more, so 

3477
03:13:24,400 --> 03:13:28,800
challenging access issues. 
My last question is for. 

3478
03:13:28,800 --> 03:13:33,200
Dr. Chris McCann, picking up on 
Senator, Paul's coming as you 

3479
03:13:33,200 --> 03:13:36,800
know, A month is moving toward a
medicare-for-all single-payer 

3480
03:13:36,800 --> 03:13:40,800
approach. 
Are you worried that if we 

3481
03:13:40,800 --> 03:13:44,600
consider Health Care as a right 
in the state of Vermont, but the

3482
03:13:44,600 --> 03:13:46,400
st. 
Johnsbury Police Department in 

3483
03:13:46,400 --> 03:13:48,800
the middle of the night is going
to break down your door and 

3484
03:13:48,800 --> 03:13:51,300
force you to treat a patient. 
Is this an immediate concern of 

3485
03:13:51,300 --> 03:13:58,400
yours? 
I want to thank senator Paul for

3486
03:13:58,600 --> 03:14:00,900
being here and it was 
provocative. 

3487
03:14:00,900 --> 03:14:03,100
Interesting discussion. 
I want to thank mostly the 

3488
03:14:03,100 --> 03:14:05,500
panelists for being here. 
I think we're discussing an 

3489
03:14:05,500 --> 03:14:07,800
issue of great importance. 
And again, thank you all for 

3490
03:14:07,800 --> 03:14:17,300
your participation. 
An introduction to volunteerism 

3491
03:14:17,300 --> 03:14:21,500
by Chase Rachel's. 
So here's an overview of what we

3492
03:14:21,508 --> 03:14:26,800
will be discussing today. 
So, first things first, let's 

3493
03:14:26,800 --> 03:14:30,400
talk about the state. 
So what exactly is the state? 

3494
03:14:30,400 --> 03:14:32,600
Well, in the words of our good 
friend, dr. 

3495
03:14:32,600 --> 03:14:34,800
Hans Hermann. 
Harbour the state is defined as 

3496
03:14:34,800 --> 03:14:37,800
an agency characterized by two 
unique and logically connected 

3497
03:14:37,800 --> 03:14:40,500
features. 
The first of which is the state 

3498
03:14:40,500 --> 03:14:44,300
is an agency, that exercises a 
territorial Monopoly of ultimate

3499
03:14:44,300 --> 03:14:47,600
decision making that is the 
state acts as the ultimate 

3500
03:14:47,600 --> 03:14:50,700
Arbiter or in other words acts 
as judge and jury and every case

3501
03:14:50,700 --> 03:14:53,700
of conflict up to and including 
conflicts involving itself. 

3502
03:14:54,200 --> 03:14:56,700
It allows no appeal above and 
beyond itself. 

3503
03:14:57,400 --> 03:14:59,700
Now, this clearly reveals a 
gross conflict of interest 

3504
03:14:59,700 --> 03:15:03,500
inherent with the state. 
Dr. Hopp continued stating that 

3505
03:15:03,500 --> 03:15:06,900
s the state is an agency that 
exercises, a territorial 

3506
03:15:06,900 --> 03:15:10,400
Monopoly of Taxation. 
And that is it is an agency that

3507
03:15:10,400 --> 03:15:13,000
you don't laterally fixes the 
price that private citizens must

3508
03:15:13,000 --> 03:15:16,200
pay for the state's Service as 
ultimate judge an enforcer of 

3509
03:15:16,200 --> 03:15:18,600
Law and Order. 
So basically, what this tells us

3510
03:15:18,600 --> 03:15:21,800
is that we not only have to 
abide by the arbitrary rulings 

3511
03:15:21,800 --> 03:15:24,000
of the state, but we must also 
pay whatever. 

3512
03:15:24,100 --> 03:15:26,000
Price. 
It deems necessary to fund. 

3513
03:15:26,000 --> 03:15:28,900
The necessary means to enforce 
these arbitrary verdicts. 

3514
03:15:29,400 --> 03:15:31,400
Of course, this leads us to the 
conclusion that what 

3515
03:15:31,400 --> 03:15:33,100
distinguishes, the state most 
from. 

3516
03:15:33,100 --> 03:15:37,100
The rest of society, is its 
legitimize not legitimate, but 

3517
03:15:37,100 --> 03:15:41,600
it's legitimised ability to 
engage in or threaten others 

3518
03:15:41,600 --> 03:15:48,800
with the initiation of force. 
Next, we have a social contract.

3519
03:15:48,900 --> 03:15:51,300
And when a social contract, is 
in short. 

3520
03:15:51,300 --> 03:15:54,500
It's a binding contract Applied 
to all persons arbitrarily. 

3521
03:15:54,500 --> 03:15:56,700
Determined to fall into the 
jurisdiction of the state. 

3522
03:15:57,600 --> 03:15:59,400
Simply living within this 
jurisdiction. 

3523
03:15:59,400 --> 03:16:01,800
Is that only requisite for the 
contract to be binding? 

3524
03:16:02,400 --> 03:16:05,100
Your lack of individual and 
voluntary consent is truly 

3525
03:16:05,100 --> 03:16:09,500
immaterial any other contract 
even when agree to made under 

3526
03:16:09,500 --> 03:16:12,600
the threat of coercion would be 
deemed invalid, but not with the

3527
03:16:12,600 --> 03:16:16,900
state. 
You may say that, well, we do, 

3528
03:16:16,900 --> 03:16:20,100
in fact, choose and therefore 
voluntarily consent to such a 

3529
03:16:20,100 --> 03:16:23,300
contract by indirectly selecting
various public goods to be 

3530
03:16:23,300 --> 03:16:26,600
provided through the process of 
voting yet. 

3531
03:16:26,600 --> 03:16:29,800
Again, even assuming you aren't 
just voting in self-defense for 

3532
03:16:29,800 --> 03:16:32,900
fear that if you don't, some of 
my use, the State against you 

3533
03:16:33,200 --> 03:16:36,500
and majority vote, does not 
translate into the consent of 

3534
03:16:36,500 --> 03:16:39,100
each individual being bound by 
the contract. 

3535
03:16:39,800 --> 03:16:43,900
So, in other words, the idea of 
a social contract is akin to A 

3536
03:16:43,900 --> 03:16:46,900
pie down someone's throat and 
expecting them to pay for it. 

3537
03:16:49,200 --> 03:16:51,700
Next, we have the principle of 
self ownership. 

3538
03:16:53,600 --> 03:16:55,600
Now, dr. 
Murray rothbard defines the 

3539
03:16:55,600 --> 03:16:58,500
principal self-ownership as the 
absolute, right of each Man by 

3540
03:16:58,500 --> 03:17:02,900
virtue of his, or her being a 
human being to own his or her 

3541
03:17:02,900 --> 03:17:05,500
own body. 
And that is to control the body 

3542
03:17:05,500 --> 03:17:09,300
free, of course of interference.
So in short self-ownership 

3543
03:17:09,300 --> 03:17:12,800
entails that each individual 
owns his own life, body and 

3544
03:17:12,800 --> 03:17:16,000
actions. 
Now there are only two 

3545
03:17:16,000 --> 03:17:19,200
alternatives to the statement. 
One is that another person or 

3546
03:17:19,200 --> 03:17:22,300
group of people have a higher 
claim to your body than you do. 

3547
03:17:22,700 --> 03:17:25,800
This philosophy, of course, 
lends itself to aristocracy 

3548
03:17:26,000 --> 03:17:29,600
oligarchy and despotism in the 
other is that everyone has an 

3549
03:17:29,600 --> 03:17:31,300
equal claim to everyone else's 
body. 

3550
03:17:31,600 --> 03:17:35,000
So no one fully owns anyone nor 
do they really own themselves? 

3551
03:17:35,900 --> 03:17:38,500
Now this philosophy, of course, 
lends itself to ideas of 

3552
03:17:38,500 --> 03:17:40,800
democracy, socialism and 
communism. 

3553
03:17:41,200 --> 03:17:44,000
This second alternative is the 
philosophical premise upon, 

3554
03:17:44,000 --> 03:17:45,700
which our current state rest 
upon today. 

3555
03:17:46,500 --> 03:17:48,700
Now, some may argue that 
perhaps, it's a hybrid of these 

3556
03:17:48,700 --> 03:17:52,000
two Alternatives with those in 
Washington, being the oligarchs 

3557
03:17:52,200 --> 03:17:55,300
and the populace being the 
mutually own proletariat. 

3558
03:17:55,700 --> 03:17:58,700
However, what can be certain is 
that we are not being permitted 

3559
03:17:58,700 --> 03:18:01,600
to exercise exclusive rights to 
our Sovereign bodies as stated 

3560
03:18:01,600 --> 03:18:03,300
in the principle of 
self-ownership. 

3561
03:18:05,300 --> 03:18:07,600
Okay, next we have property. 
Now. 

3562
03:18:07,600 --> 03:18:10,400
There are three ways in which 
property may be legitimately 

3563
03:18:10,400 --> 03:18:12,600
acquired. 
Their first one is original 

3564
03:18:12,600 --> 03:18:16,300
appropriation, which is just 
fancy economic speak for Finders

3565
03:18:16,300 --> 03:18:19,300
Keepers. 
If you so happen to stumble upon

3566
03:18:19,300 --> 03:18:21,900
an unclaimed good in nature, 
then you may claim ownership of 

3567
03:18:21,900 --> 03:18:25,800
said, good, if you so choose. 
The second is simply a 

3568
03:18:25,808 --> 03:18:28,600
consequence of the first as it 
states that anything you produce

3569
03:18:28,600 --> 03:18:29,300
from. 
Your originally. 

3570
03:18:29,300 --> 03:18:35,300
Appropriated good is also yours.
And the third is simply through 

3571
03:18:35,300 --> 03:18:37,300
voluntary trade, our good 
friend. 

3572
03:18:37,300 --> 03:18:39,800
Dr. Hopp rightfully adds that to
deny. 

3573
03:18:39,800 --> 03:18:44,200
These truths is the as to claim 
that a second person or set of 

3574
03:18:44,200 --> 03:18:47,600
people have a higher claim in 
your property or that everyone 

3575
03:18:47,600 --> 03:18:49,500
shares equal share of all 
property. 

3576
03:18:52,200 --> 03:18:53,900
Next, we have the non-aggression
principle. 

3577
03:18:55,500 --> 03:18:57,900
And in the words of dr. 
Murray rothbard the non 

3578
03:18:57,900 --> 03:19:01,300
aggression, aggression, 
principle states that no man or 

3579
03:19:01,300 --> 03:19:04,900
group of men may aggress against
the person or property of anyone

3580
03:19:04,900 --> 03:19:08,300
else aggression, is defined as 
the initiation of the use or 

3581
03:19:08,300 --> 03:19:11,600
threat of physical violence, 
against the person, or property 

3582
03:19:11,600 --> 03:19:14,500
of anyone else. 
And aggression, is therefore 

3583
03:19:14,500 --> 03:19:18,700
synonymous, with invasion. 
Now, the state must necessarily 

3584
03:19:18,700 --> 03:19:20,300
be in conflict with this 
Principle. 

3585
03:19:20,300 --> 03:19:24,600
As its functioning is predicated
upon the initiation of the use 

3586
03:19:24,600 --> 03:19:26,900
of force and coercion as 
discussed earlier. 

3587
03:19:28,100 --> 03:19:29,900
Does proponents of the 
non-aggression principle. 

3588
03:19:29,900 --> 03:19:32,700
Must endorse a system of 
volunteerism as the only viable 

3589
03:19:32,900 --> 03:19:35,600
and logically consistent 
alternative to the state? 

3590
03:19:37,700 --> 03:19:40,000
So does this non-aggression 
principle preclude us from being

3591
03:19:40,000 --> 03:19:42,900
able to defend ourselves? 
Of course not if we are 

3592
03:19:42,900 --> 03:19:46,100
defending ourselves or our 
property and applies it, someone

3593
03:19:46,300 --> 03:19:49,600
or a set of people have already 
initiated Force against us? 

3594
03:19:51,300 --> 03:19:53,600
So what are some conclusions we 
can draw from these? 

3595
03:19:54,300 --> 03:19:57,500
Well one conclusion we may draw 
from these principles is that if

3596
03:19:57,500 --> 03:20:01,500
our actions you'll know victim, 
then no crime has taken place. 

3597
03:20:03,900 --> 03:20:06,300
Now we alluded to this one 
earlier, but another striking 

3598
03:20:06,300 --> 03:20:09,800
conclusion we come to is that 
all taxation by its very nature.

3599
03:20:10,000 --> 03:20:13,700
Must be theft threatening people
with Force whether or not you 

3600
03:20:13,700 --> 03:20:17,200
wear a shiny badge or a funny 
hat as a means to confiscate 

3601
03:20:17,200 --> 03:20:19,700
their property against their 
will is theft. 

3602
03:20:19,800 --> 03:20:24,200
Plain and simple. 
And finally, voluntary is 

3603
03:20:24,200 --> 03:20:26,800
subscribe to the idea of 
spontaneous order. 

3604
03:20:27,100 --> 03:20:30,400
They believe, coordination May 
naturally take place absent a 

3605
03:20:30,400 --> 03:20:34,600
coercive Central plan or 
planner, and that such 

3606
03:20:34,600 --> 03:20:37,100
coordination, only requires 
people to pursue their own 

3607
03:20:37,100 --> 03:20:39,800
self-interest great, examples of
this. 

3608
03:20:39,800 --> 03:20:43,300
Include the Advent of money and 
language our social interactions

3609
03:20:43,400 --> 03:20:46,300
and romantic relationships. 
And if we believe in Adam 

3610
03:20:46,300 --> 03:20:49,300
Smith's concept of the Invisible
Hand of the market place, then 

3611
03:20:49,300 --> 03:20:51,400
we should also be willing to 
apply this objective and 

3612
03:20:51,400 --> 03:20:54,300
benevolent Force. 
And our social spheres. 

3613
03:20:56,300 --> 03:20:58,900
So in the end, if I would have 
you grant me one favor, it would

3614
03:20:58,900 --> 03:21:01,900
simply be that you not support 
the use or threat of violence to

3615
03:21:01,900 --> 03:21:04,200
forcefully. 
Impose your will upon me and I 

3616
03:21:04,200 --> 03:21:07,200
promise, I will pay you the same
respect. 

3617
03:21:07,300 --> 03:21:08,600
Thank you. 
Gun. 

3618
03:21:08,600 --> 03:21:12,000
Control laws are violence. 
Contrary to some beliefs gun 

3619
03:21:12,000 --> 03:21:14,500
control laws. 
Do not decrease violence. 

3620
03:21:14,600 --> 03:21:18,300
Gun control laws are actually 
themselves, threats of violence 

3621
03:21:18,300 --> 03:21:21,800
made against peaceful people who
have not been suspected of 

3622
03:21:21,800 --> 03:21:25,100
threatening others, or violating
the rights of others. 

3623
03:21:25,100 --> 03:21:28,500
When people fail, The comply 
with new gun control laws, the 

3624
03:21:28,500 --> 03:21:32,100
government sends in men who 
themselves have guns to 

3625
03:21:32,100 --> 03:21:34,600
threaten. 
The gun owner with deadly force.

3626
03:21:34,600 --> 03:21:37,800
This Thread is a lethal threat. 
One that will be carried out 

3627
03:21:37,800 --> 03:21:40,400
with the death sentence. 
Should a person resist, the 

3628
03:21:40,400 --> 03:21:43,100
government's violence. 
So when people say, they are for

3629
03:21:43,100 --> 03:21:46,100
gun control, they're not really 
for getting rid of and 

3630
03:21:46,100 --> 03:21:49,600
restricting guns, rather. 
They're forgiving government 

3631
03:21:49,600 --> 03:21:53,600
goons a monopoly on guns and 
leaving the public helpless 

3632
03:21:53,600 --> 03:21:57,100
against aggression, whether from
a Mugger, You're a rapist or 

3633
03:21:57,100 --> 03:22:00,400
even the government itself and 
don't be fooled by Propaganda. 

3634
03:22:00,400 --> 03:22:04,500
Suggesting that gun, bans lead 
to less violence as anti gun 

3635
03:22:04,500 --> 03:22:06,800
Advocates. 
Routinely frame, their studies 

3636
03:22:06,800 --> 03:22:10,800
in a manner, to deceive most 
often by including suicide. 

3637
03:22:10,800 --> 03:22:14,600
As a part of the gun violence by
failing to discount for murder 

3638
03:22:14,600 --> 03:22:18,200
rates in cities, where guns are 
virtually band already By 

3639
03:22:18,200 --> 03:22:22,300
ignoring violent crime down 
trends that begun before gun 

3640
03:22:22,300 --> 03:22:24,400
control legislation by leaving 
out. 

3641
03:22:24,400 --> 03:22:28,300
The fact that Crimes by They're 
instrumentality escalate when 

3642
03:22:28,300 --> 03:22:32,100
guns are banned and By ignoring 
the plights in developed 

3643
03:22:32,100 --> 03:22:35,200
countries, like Mexico, where 
guns are banned yet. 

3644
03:22:35,200 --> 03:22:38,500
Murder rates are still high. 
Remember the government and 

3645
03:22:38,500 --> 03:22:40,900
criminals will not give up their
guns. 

3646
03:22:40,900 --> 03:22:43,500
Neither. 
Should you defend yourself? 

3647
03:22:43,600 --> 03:22:47,700
Don't become another victim. 
Yes, freeze. 

3648
03:22:55,900 --> 03:22:58,100
Excuse me. 
Do you guys have a few minutes 

3649
03:22:58,100 --> 03:22:59,500
for an interview for my YouTube 
channel? 

3650
03:22:59,600 --> 03:23:02,300
Yeah, we should probably just 
catch an Uber right now. 

3651
03:23:02,500 --> 03:23:03,400
Okay. 
Thank you. 

3652
03:23:03,400 --> 03:23:05,300
This year while you're waiting. 
What does it say? 

3653
03:23:05,300 --> 03:23:07,900
Hello for Lewbert. 
Two minutes, two minutes. 

3654
03:23:07,900 --> 03:23:10,000
What do you got? 
All right. 

3655
03:23:10,200 --> 03:23:13,200
It's taxation. 
Violent is a violent. 

3656
03:23:13,200 --> 03:23:15,100
I did not as far as I know. 
I did. 

3657
03:23:15,200 --> 03:23:19,800
What part of Well, the concept 
of Taxation itself, the the 

3658
03:23:19,800 --> 03:23:23,500
implication of we're going to 
charge you money for being here.

3659
03:23:23,600 --> 03:23:25,800
I think that everybody needs to 
do their part. 

3660
03:23:25,800 --> 03:23:29,200
I mean, it's our as our moral 
responsibility, as a citizen to 

3661
03:23:29,200 --> 03:23:33,200
contribute to the well-being of 
our country and the well-being 

3662
03:23:33,200 --> 03:23:39,600
of our people and the the 
progress of our nation, but if 

3663
03:23:39,600 --> 03:23:42,000
someone isn't doing that, should
we steal from them in order to 

3664
03:23:42,000 --> 03:23:43,500
make them do that? 
To force them to do that? 

3665
03:23:43,500 --> 03:23:46,600
I don't think it's no because I,
well, first of all, I think the 

3666
03:23:47,000 --> 03:23:49,500
Mrs. Uses a lot of our tax 
dollars. 

3667
03:23:49,500 --> 03:23:53,300
So no, I don't. 
I don't think that's right, 

3668
03:23:53,300 --> 03:23:54,800
divorce them. 
But, I mean, there's there needs

3669
03:23:54,800 --> 03:23:57,400
to be some sort of 
responsibility by the American 

3670
03:23:57,400 --> 03:24:01,500
citizen to be responsible for 
paying their taxes. 

3671
03:24:01,500 --> 03:24:03,700
Every, every, I mean, today. 
It's got to be done. 

3672
03:24:03,700 --> 03:24:06,300
And what happens if you don't 
pay your taxes, wait, if 

3673
03:24:06,300 --> 03:24:08,300
everybody did it. 
Where we be, we would have no 

3674
03:24:08,300 --> 03:24:09,900
you what happens. 
If you don't pay your taxes, 

3675
03:24:10,200 --> 03:24:11,800
I've obviously we go to jail or 
something. 

3676
03:24:11,800 --> 03:24:14,400
It's death and taxes. 
Of course, that's what's. 

3677
03:24:14,500 --> 03:24:16,300
So you're threatened your 
threatened with force or 

3678
03:24:16,300 --> 03:24:17,100
threatened. 
Violence. 

3679
03:24:17,100 --> 03:24:19,000
If you don't pay your taxes, 
well, yeah, we're not really a 

3680
03:24:19,000 --> 03:24:20,500
free country. 
I mean, come on, right? 

3681
03:24:20,500 --> 03:24:23,000
This is why are oh, whoa. 
So, you know, what's up, right? 

3682
03:24:23,100 --> 03:24:25,100
Absolutely. 
So if so, you think it, maybe if

3683
03:24:25,100 --> 03:24:28,000
we didn't have a system based on
theft in order to get people to 

3684
03:24:28,000 --> 03:24:29,600
their party, think we could have
a better country. 

3685
03:24:30,600 --> 03:24:33,700
That would be. 
It's easy to say much harder to 

3686
03:24:33,700 --> 03:24:35,600
do. 
I would say, well, if I told you

3687
03:24:35,600 --> 03:24:37,600
there was a really easy way to 
get all the answers and figure 

3688
03:24:37,600 --> 03:24:39,000
out how to do that. 
Would you at least be interested

3689
03:24:39,000 --> 03:24:40,500
in taking a look at it? 
I'd be Carrie. 

3690
03:24:40,500 --> 03:24:41,800
I'd be curious to see it. 
Yes, right. 

3691
03:24:41,800 --> 03:24:45,400
Well, we just released a book 
called freedom, and it explains 

3692
03:24:45,400 --> 03:24:48,400
how we can actually make A 
better Society by eliminating 

3693
03:24:48,400 --> 03:24:50,100
organized coercion. 
I appreciate if you check it out

3694
03:24:50,100 --> 03:24:51,600
sir. 
I really appreciate. 

3695
03:24:51,600 --> 03:24:52,900
Thanks so much. 
Cheers. 

3696
03:24:53,600 --> 03:24:56,600
I'll go through which one you 
want to touch first voluntourism

3697
03:24:57,200 --> 03:24:58,900
monetarism. 
I volunteerism. 

3698
03:24:58,900 --> 03:25:02,100
I like that phrase because 
Anarchy sounds scary. 

3699
03:25:03,400 --> 03:25:06,600
Right. 
Anarchy sounds scary when people

3700
03:25:06,600 --> 03:25:08,800
when the average person a 
Libertarian, here's Anarchy. 

3701
03:25:08,800 --> 03:25:11,500
They go. 
Yay, when the average person has

3702
03:25:11,500 --> 03:25:13,600
Anarchy they go. 
Oh my God, blood in the streets.

3703
03:25:13,600 --> 03:25:15,100
Zombie apocalypse. 
Yeah. 

3704
03:25:15,100 --> 03:25:17,200
They assume that, right. 
They think it's The Walking Dead

3705
03:25:17,200 --> 03:25:18,700
season 4. 
That's what they assume that's 

3706
03:25:18,700 --> 03:25:19,800
happening. 
Right? 

3707
03:25:19,800 --> 03:25:22,700
The second that you say entropy 
and what I'm trying to get to 

3708
03:25:22,700 --> 03:25:25,900
them is, you know, of volunteers
of voluntary Society, 

3709
03:25:25,900 --> 03:25:28,300
volunteerism. 
That sounds good. 

3710
03:25:28,400 --> 03:25:32,300
That's why I like it is the idea
of people wanting to do is the 

3711
03:25:32,300 --> 03:25:35,800
idea of people. 
When people get upset about what

3712
03:25:35,800 --> 03:25:38,300
there are people suffering, 
there are people struggling, 

3713
03:25:39,200 --> 03:25:42,000
you're right, and that will 
always be the case, but when 

3714
03:25:42,000 --> 03:25:44,800
someone has a problem, whether 
that is mental physical 

3715
03:25:44,800 --> 03:25:48,400
Financial, whatever it might be 
whatever issue, they might have 

3716
03:25:48,500 --> 03:25:50,800
have medical, who cares, 
whatever that issue is. 

3717
03:25:51,400 --> 03:25:54,300
The first thing they need, is 
that a program. 

3718
03:25:55,500 --> 03:25:59,500
It's not Services. 
The first need is someone. 

3719
03:25:59,500 --> 03:26:03,300
Who cares. 
When they get someone who cares 

3720
03:26:03,500 --> 03:26:07,100
that person can now give them 
the things they need to get 

3721
03:26:07,100 --> 03:26:08,300
their self together. 
Whatever. 

3722
03:26:08,300 --> 03:26:10,600
That is, right. 
The problem is we at the side 

3723
03:26:10,600 --> 03:26:12,200
that people need services and I 
hear this all the time. 

3724
03:26:12,200 --> 03:26:14,700
Particularly New York. 
It's all over particularly New 

3725
03:26:14,700 --> 03:26:17,800
York. 
My child has an e so they need 

3726
03:26:17,800 --> 03:26:21,300
Services. 
Yeah, services are fine. 

3727
03:26:21,400 --> 03:26:24,100
And they are but services are 
cookie cutter. 

3728
03:26:25,200 --> 03:26:29,600
That put your child in a box and
now you feel like your child is 

3729
03:26:29,600 --> 03:26:31,800
going to have success because 
they got services. 

3730
03:26:32,100 --> 03:26:34,100
I don't want your child to have 
Services. 

3731
03:26:34,400 --> 03:26:37,000
I want your child to have the 
best success, your child can 

3732
03:26:37,000 --> 03:26:40,900
have with whatever their special
need is and when I know is some 

3733
03:26:40,900 --> 03:26:43,500
bureaucrat in Albany is not 
going to have an answer. 

3734
03:26:44,000 --> 03:26:47,600
But with some individual who 
maybe has had that issue before,

3735
03:26:47,800 --> 03:26:50,300
who knows? 
Children who've had your issue 

3736
03:26:50,500 --> 03:26:53,200
whose work with them Mike that 
person. 

3737
03:26:53,200 --> 03:26:56,700
Oh, yeah. 
And they also might be able to 

3738
03:26:56,700 --> 03:27:01,000
tell you what you can expect and
help you decide what can be 

3739
03:27:01,000 --> 03:27:04,300
success for your child. 
And for your family, right? 

3740
03:27:04,300 --> 03:27:08,000
People say with a special needs.
They need X, if you have anyone 

3741
03:27:08,000 --> 03:27:09,200
in your life, who has special 
needs. 

3742
03:27:09,200 --> 03:27:13,600
I have a nice visit istic. 
If you have anyone, you like for

3743
03:27:13,600 --> 03:27:17,500
a special needs. 
It's a wide spectrum of what 

3744
03:27:17,500 --> 03:27:20,600
special needs are, you know, 
there's one special needs child.

3745
03:27:20,600 --> 03:27:23,300
Whose success is getting dressed
on their own. 

3746
03:27:23,500 --> 03:27:26,500
Another special needs child. 
This is having a job and living 

3747
03:27:26,500 --> 03:27:30,700
on their own and the wide Gap in
between, how can you decide what

3748
03:27:30,700 --> 03:27:34,600
success is by Services? 
I want, I want volunteerism 

3749
03:27:34,600 --> 03:27:38,600
means I get what's real and that
is the individual decides. 

3750
03:27:38,700 --> 03:27:42,300
I want to help you, and when 
they want to help you, you get 

3751
03:27:42,300 --> 03:27:44,900
good help. 
It's the idea that it's not 

3752
03:27:44,900 --> 03:27:47,300
about someone saying his cookie 
cutter. 

3753
03:27:47,600 --> 03:27:49,800
We've checked the Box, have a 
nice day. 

3754
03:27:50,200 --> 03:27:53,000
It's we want to help. 
We want to make things happen 

3755
03:27:53,000 --> 03:27:54,800
and you might say but Larry that
never works. 

3756
03:27:55,100 --> 03:27:56,800
That's completely natural at 
all. 

3757
03:27:57,100 --> 03:27:59,600
All of the best. 
If you've seen any of the actual

3758
03:27:59,600 --> 03:28:03,000
programs that government has 
even tried to adopt, almost all 

3759
03:28:03,000 --> 03:28:06,600
of them began as voluntary 
programs, almost every one of 

3760
03:28:06,600 --> 03:28:08,800
them and then a government grab 
them and they became worse. 

3761
03:28:10,400 --> 03:28:13,900
That's almost Universal are some
exceptions but very often it's 

3762
03:28:13,900 --> 03:28:17,800
it worked well before and now 
doesn't the best programs are 

3763
03:28:17,800 --> 03:28:19,800
now voluntary. 
In fact, there's one right now 

3764
03:28:20,400 --> 03:28:21,900
in Massachusetts that I'm 
talking about. 

3765
03:28:22,000 --> 03:28:24,700
I'm going to bring to New York. 
It's called Humvee and its 

3766
03:28:25,300 --> 03:28:30,000
housing units for military 
veterans, and it's a prison 

3767
03:28:30,000 --> 03:28:32,800
system just for people who are 
veterans. 

3768
03:28:33,700 --> 03:28:38,300
And it's run by one peg guard. 
And the rest all volunteers. 

3769
03:28:38,600 --> 03:28:39,800
That's happening. 
Now. 

3770
03:28:40,500 --> 03:28:43,900
People who want to help veterans
and there are literally millions

3771
03:28:43,900 --> 03:28:47,600
of people who want to help 
veterans and we'll do it well 

3772
03:28:47,600 --> 03:28:50,500
for free, but Larry, there's no 
credentials it. 

3773
03:28:50,500 --> 03:28:53,000
Work. 
The recidivism rate right now in

3774
03:28:53,000 --> 03:28:54,900
Massachusetts is about 70 
percent. 

3775
03:28:54,900 --> 03:28:57,300
That's pretty much throughout 
the entire country's about 70% 

3776
03:28:57,600 --> 03:29:01,500
for that program. 
It's less than 5% That means 

3777
03:29:01,500 --> 03:29:04,400
less than 5% of people. 
Come back to jail from that 

3778
03:29:04,400 --> 03:29:07,500
voluntary program. 
This is what volunteerism is 

3779
03:29:07,500 --> 03:29:11,900
about people wanting to do 
people deciding to do and people

3780
03:29:11,900 --> 03:29:14,100
deciding what a success among 
themselves. 

3781
03:29:14,300 --> 03:29:18,000
This is the goal. 
What is the non-aggression 

3782
03:29:18,100 --> 03:29:21,100
principle? 
This is a harder one for people 

3783
03:29:21,100 --> 03:29:22,700
to deal with as some people 
fight on this. 

3784
03:29:23,000 --> 03:29:25,400
So I look at it as a very simple
idea. 

3785
03:29:25,400 --> 03:29:30,200
Of I don't want to, I never want
to initiate force. 

3786
03:29:31,000 --> 03:29:35,600
Force is not by default. 
A bad thing for scan, and should

3787
03:29:35,600 --> 03:29:38,100
we use in many cases? 
But it should be used when there

3788
03:29:38,100 --> 03:29:40,100
is a violation of someone's 
rights. 

3789
03:29:40,500 --> 03:29:44,000
And the best example I was bring
on bring is when people have a 

3790
03:29:44,008 --> 03:29:46,200
problem. 
They very often say, To be law, 

3791
03:29:47,000 --> 03:29:49,300
30 law, that's wrong. 
There to be long. 

3792
03:29:49,700 --> 03:29:51,000
Now. 
The problem is the first part 

3793
03:29:51,000 --> 03:29:54,000
that's wrong, may be true. 
But the second part there to be 

3794
03:29:54,000 --> 03:29:57,600
law is rarely true. 
And the problem is law. 

3795
03:29:58,300 --> 03:30:01,400
Remember, at the end of almost 
every law, with some minor 

3796
03:30:01,400 --> 03:30:05,600
exceptions is always a guy or a 
gal with a gun who will put you 

3797
03:30:05,608 --> 03:30:08,100
in a cage, right? 
That's the end of a most every 

3798
03:30:08,100 --> 03:30:15,000
law, which means by default law 
is force, government is force. 

3799
03:30:15,100 --> 03:30:16,800
They are the Same. 
They are equivalent. 

3800
03:30:16,800 --> 03:30:20,900
They are equal, if that's true. 
When should I use government? 

3801
03:30:20,900 --> 03:30:23,700
When should I use law? 
I should when there are things 

3802
03:30:23,700 --> 03:30:27,000
like, threat of Life, loss of 
life threat of loss, of 

3803
03:30:27,000 --> 03:30:29,300
property, loss of property loss 
of limb. 

3804
03:30:29,600 --> 03:30:32,900
Of course, when you're losing 
your life, liberty Pursuit of 

3805
03:30:32,900 --> 03:30:35,500
Happiness, when you're losing 
something forces appropriate. 

3806
03:30:35,500 --> 03:30:38,600
I would like the police or cops 
to take care of people when 

3807
03:30:38,600 --> 03:30:40,600
there is actually Force 
involved. 

3808
03:30:41,000 --> 03:30:43,800
Yeah. 
So the non-aggression principle 

3809
03:30:43,800 --> 03:30:49,400
says, why would I use Force when
no one's using force on me, but 

3810
03:30:49,400 --> 03:30:51,700
I don't have a problem with 
people saying as an example, 

3811
03:30:53,400 --> 03:30:56,800
cigarettes are bad. 
You shouldn't smoke, and then 

3812
03:30:56,800 --> 03:30:59,900
it's awesome. 
But my point is, do you as an 

3813
03:30:59,900 --> 03:31:02,700
individual belief that I have a 
right? 

3814
03:31:02,700 --> 03:31:05,800
Me personally to come to 
someone's house. 

3815
03:31:06,200 --> 03:31:09,700
Grab a cigarette from their 
mouth, smack them in the face. 

3816
03:31:10,200 --> 03:31:12,000
Take the cigarette. 
Throw it out and grab the It's 

3817
03:31:12,000 --> 03:31:13,600
and burn them. 
Of course. 

3818
03:31:13,600 --> 03:31:15,000
You would say no laughter. 
Of course not. 

3819
03:31:15,600 --> 03:31:16,800
Well, then watch the cops, do 
it. 

3820
03:31:18,100 --> 03:31:21,500
Yeah, that is the difference 
between Jehovah's Witness coming

3821
03:31:21,500 --> 03:31:24,700
to your door and saying, here's 
what here's what you can learn 

3822
03:31:24,700 --> 03:31:27,400
about. 
Here's a book, you can read here

3823
03:31:27,400 --> 03:31:30,400
is here's where our churches. 
You can come talk to us. 

3824
03:31:30,400 --> 03:31:31,800
We really want you to believe 
this. 

3825
03:31:32,000 --> 03:31:33,700
That is non-aggression 
principle. 

3826
03:31:33,700 --> 03:31:37,900
And voluntourism force is come 
to our church, or we're going to

3827
03:31:37,900 --> 03:31:39,600
put you in a cage. 
Where is this? 

3828
03:31:39,600 --> 03:31:41,100
The cage? 
And will shoot you. 

3829
03:31:41,400 --> 03:31:44,900
That's, it's a principle. 
We live by every day that we 

3830
03:31:44,900 --> 03:31:49,400
just, we just have to extend it.
Government, I'll give you a 

3831
03:31:49,400 --> 03:31:52,900
great good example of how it 
failed in New York City. 

3832
03:31:53,600 --> 03:31:55,900
And that was, if you remember, I
New York City. 

3833
03:31:55,900 --> 03:31:57,000
They tried to ban. 
The thing. 

3834
03:31:57,000 --> 03:31:58,900
Was 16. 
Oz sodas. 

3835
03:31:58,900 --> 03:32:01,700
I think so does. 
Yes. 

3836
03:32:02,200 --> 03:32:04,800
Now here's where this actually 
find your having a soda now. 

3837
03:32:04,800 --> 03:32:05,600
Perfect. 
Yes. 

3838
03:32:05,800 --> 03:32:11,200
So, the, the problem that we had
here is the science behind what 

3839
03:32:11,200 --> 03:32:14,500
Mayor Bloomberg and of time 
said, is absolutely true. 

3840
03:32:14,700 --> 03:32:18,900
The science is demonstrable. 
It's That if you give people 

3841
03:32:18,900 --> 03:32:22,900
smaller sodas, they will drink 
less soda, that is repeatable 

3842
03:32:22,900 --> 03:32:25,700
again, and again and again where
people could buy more soda. 

3843
03:32:25,700 --> 03:32:27,800
They don't that's simply what 
happens. 

3844
03:32:27,800 --> 03:32:31,100
It is absolutely true. 
The science is correct. 

3845
03:32:31,700 --> 03:32:36,700
So why didn't he simply say? 
Hey guys, look, the science is 

3846
03:32:36,700 --> 03:32:38,100
correct. 
Look at this. 

3847
03:32:38,200 --> 03:32:41,400
It's amazing. 
Here's a guideline that New York

3848
03:32:41,400 --> 03:32:43,300
City wants to put out for your 
health. 

3849
03:32:43,500 --> 03:32:45,300
I'm fine with that. 
There it is. 

3850
03:32:45,300 --> 03:32:47,600
That's volunteerism. 
Here's what would have Happened.

3851
03:32:47,700 --> 03:32:49,600
What would have happened? 
Is there would have been some 

3852
03:32:49,600 --> 03:32:52,800
health-conscious cool stores in 
New York City restaurants, who 

3853
03:32:52,808 --> 03:32:55,100
would have said we care about 
your health. 

3854
03:32:55,200 --> 03:32:57,100
We're only going to give you 60 
down sodas. 

3855
03:32:57,300 --> 03:33:00,300
And now that's a marketing tool 
for some restaurant. 

3856
03:33:00,300 --> 03:33:03,100
Some place in New York, others 
would have followed if it would 

3857
03:33:03,100 --> 03:33:05,700
become popular over the next 20 
or 30 years. 

3858
03:33:06,100 --> 03:33:09,100
Actually, we probably would have
made also to 16 ounces on our 

3859
03:33:09,100 --> 03:33:11,900
own because he would have 
believed it to be true and we've

3860
03:33:11,900 --> 03:33:14,000
done it anyway, right? 
It's what would happen? 

3861
03:33:14,000 --> 03:33:16,500
How do I know that? 
I know that because right now 

3862
03:33:16,500 --> 03:33:18,600
seatbelt. 
Cause you don't have to have 

3863
03:33:18,600 --> 03:33:20,700
seatbelt laws. 
Right now, the majority of 

3864
03:33:20,700 --> 03:33:22,500
people who don't like seat belt 
laws. 

3865
03:33:22,800 --> 03:33:24,800
Don't actually not like 
seatbelt. 

3866
03:33:25,300 --> 03:33:28,300
They don't like the law. 
They would use seat belts. 

3867
03:33:28,300 --> 03:33:31,800
Anyway, most people would anyway
because they realize it safe and

3868
03:33:31,800 --> 03:33:35,300
the people who wouldn't you see 
belts are using the about now, 

3869
03:33:35,700 --> 03:33:38,000
so it's not like the law 
actually work for a lot of 

3870
03:33:38,000 --> 03:33:41,400
people and now you might say, 
but Larry you save lives because

3871
03:33:41,400 --> 03:33:45,900
you make seat belt laws laws. 
Again, just like all force is a 

3872
03:33:45,900 --> 03:33:48,300
very good short. 
Short-term solution. 

3873
03:33:48,600 --> 03:33:51,600
And this is the problem. 
If I need money, I can put a gun

3874
03:33:51,600 --> 03:33:53,400
in your face and say, keep give 
me your wallet. 

3875
03:33:53,500 --> 03:33:55,600
You give me your wallet. 
I have money now. 

3876
03:33:55,600 --> 03:33:57,800
That was a very good short-term 
solution. 

3877
03:33:58,100 --> 03:34:01,800
But in the long run you and I 
both have a problem now and we 

3878
03:34:01,800 --> 03:34:06,500
see that consistently if we had 
just had the law, when it comes 

3879
03:34:06,500 --> 03:34:09,500
to the sodas and just not made a
lot all night and try to make it

3880
03:34:09,500 --> 03:34:11,700
a law. 
We probably would have more 

3881
03:34:12,000 --> 03:34:15,800
restaurants in New York City 
using that as a marketing tool 

3882
03:34:15,900 --> 03:34:18,700
and healthy and new. 
Workers without anyone forcing 

3883
03:34:18,700 --> 03:34:21,700
it trying to pass that law. 
Now. 

3884
03:34:21,700 --> 03:34:23,000
It's a joke. 
Now. 

3885
03:34:23,000 --> 03:34:26,000
No one does it, it's a joke. 
We actually have less healthy 

3886
03:34:26,000 --> 03:34:28,900
people because trying to force 
that law. 

3887
03:34:29,200 --> 03:34:33,400
Law is a short-term solution. 
As far as the science being 

3888
03:34:33,400 --> 03:34:35,700
correct. 
The science is correct about 

3889
03:34:36,800 --> 03:34:40,900
eating healthy and exercising. 
Yes, but that doesn't mean I get

3890
03:34:40,900 --> 03:34:44,200
to force you to go to the gym. 
I get to force you to eat 

3891
03:34:44,200 --> 03:34:48,300
lettuce, instead of me. 
One should listen to Dave 

3892
03:34:48,300 --> 03:34:50,900
Matthews and watch Modern 
Family, but I don't have the 

3893
03:34:50,900 --> 03:34:54,700
right to force them to do. 
So as far as Government being 

3894
03:34:54,700 --> 03:34:56,100
forced. 
This is something. 

3895
03:34:56,100 --> 03:34:59,200
Everyone from George Washington,
saying, government is not 

3896
03:34:59,200 --> 03:35:01,600
reason. 
It is force to Barack Obama. 

3897
03:35:01,600 --> 03:35:05,900
While he was Senator saying, the
state is in essence, a monopoly 

3898
03:35:05,900 --> 03:35:09,600
on violence. 
So, this is not a kook thing. 

3899
03:35:09,600 --> 03:35:12,700
That little Larry just came up 
with, finally. 

3900
03:35:12,700 --> 03:35:16,000
What is self ownership, if this 
is the hardest one. 

3901
03:35:16,400 --> 03:35:18,900
It really Is the hardest one. 
I'm glad we went with this one. 

3902
03:35:18,900 --> 03:35:22,900
Last and the idea is that you 
own your own body. 

3903
03:35:22,900 --> 03:35:25,800
You own you? 
I'm Adam, and I'm an anarchist 

3904
03:35:25,800 --> 03:35:29,800
because I ran out of excuses. 
I ran out of excuses, her 

3905
03:35:29,800 --> 03:35:33,000
organized politics and more 
importantly, my participation in

3906
03:35:33,000 --> 03:35:37,900
them excuses for why it's okay 
to commit violence against 

3907
03:35:37,900 --> 03:35:39,400
strangers on the other side of 
the planet. 

3908
03:35:39,400 --> 03:35:42,000
Because they're magical Sky 
cloth is a different color than 

3909
03:35:42,000 --> 03:35:46,100
yours. 
I'm going in our case because it

3910
03:35:46,100 --> 03:35:49,500
boils down to two basic 
fundamental concepts property 

3911
03:35:49,500 --> 03:35:51,500
rights and the non-aggression 
principle. 

3912
03:35:52,300 --> 03:35:56,600
I own myself and my property up 
to and including my life. 

3913
03:35:57,200 --> 03:36:00,000
The only excuse for violence is 
in defense of those things. 

3914
03:36:00,900 --> 03:36:03,200
That's why I'm an anarchist. 
Hi everybody. 

3915
03:36:03,200 --> 03:36:04,400
My name is Stefan. 
Molyneux. 

3916
03:36:04,400 --> 03:36:07,600
I'm the host of freedomain radio
the largest and most popular 

3917
03:36:07,600 --> 03:36:10,600
philosophy on the web. 
And I would like, to talk to you

3918
03:36:10,600 --> 03:36:14,000
for just a few minutes with your
kind Indulgence about 

3919
03:36:14,200 --> 03:36:17,300
libertarianism. 
Some and why it's important to 

3920
03:36:17,300 --> 03:36:21,500
what it's all about. 
And what it's real purposes in 

3921
03:36:21,500 --> 03:36:24,200
society, probably heard 
libertarianism, banded around on

3922
03:36:24,200 --> 03:36:27,300
the web and in the media, and so
on, but it's worth understanding

3923
03:36:27,300 --> 03:36:33,100
in my opinion. 
So I would argue that really the

3924
03:36:33,100 --> 03:36:38,700
best function of human thought 
is to take principles that we 

3925
03:36:38,700 --> 03:36:43,100
learn locally and keep extending
them and applying them to see 

3926
03:36:43,100 --> 03:36:47,000
how far they Hold right. 
So gravity is something we all 

3927
03:36:47,000 --> 03:36:50,800
learn locally, you know, we 
throw balls frisbees, jump off 

3928
03:36:51,000 --> 03:36:54,000
low walls and so on. 
And so the purpose of human 

3929
03:36:54,000 --> 03:36:56,300
thought in physics, for 
instance, would be to continue 

3930
03:36:56,300 --> 03:36:59,000
to extend the principle of 
gravity and see how far it holds

3931
03:36:59,600 --> 03:37:01,100
turns out. 
It holds all throughout the 

3932
03:37:01,100 --> 03:37:04,200
Universe and all throughout 
time, producing some really 

3933
03:37:04,200 --> 03:37:06,200
freaky phenomenon, like black 
holes and so on. 

3934
03:37:07,400 --> 03:37:12,000
And a lot of these truths That 
we discover through taking local

3935
03:37:12,000 --> 03:37:15,200
experiences and extrapolate 
extrapolating them to Universal 

3936
03:37:15,200 --> 03:37:16,500
principles. 
A lot of these truths are 

3937
03:37:16,500 --> 03:37:20,400
really, really freaky. 
I mean, originally, of course, 

3938
03:37:20,400 --> 03:37:25,000
it was thought or believed that 
the Earth was the center of the 

3939
03:37:25,000 --> 03:37:26,800
universe and all the sun and the
moon, and the stars, and the 

3940
03:37:26,808 --> 03:37:30,200
planets been around the Earth. 
Turns out, if you put money on 

3941
03:37:30,200 --> 03:37:33,200
that bet you would have lost 
because, of course, as we now 

3942
03:37:33,500 --> 03:37:35,800
the sun is the center of the 
solar system, where basically 

3943
03:37:35,800 --> 03:37:37,700
falling around the sun. 
The sun is falling around the 

3944
03:37:37,708 --> 03:37:41,700
center of the Galaxy. and we're 
traveling at unbelievable speeds

3945
03:37:41,700 --> 03:37:46,200
at all times, but Kind of really
doesn't feel that way. 

3946
03:37:46,200 --> 03:37:48,900
You know, unless you stick your 
head out of a pickup truck 

3947
03:37:48,900 --> 03:37:53,700
window. 
So there are these truths that 

3948
03:37:53,700 --> 03:37:55,900
are just kind of freaky which is
what happens when you take 

3949
03:37:55,900 --> 03:37:58,500
principles and extend them. 
If you take a principle called 

3950
03:37:58,500 --> 03:38:00,700
the speed of light is constant, 
you extend it throughout physics

3951
03:38:00,700 --> 03:38:03,700
as Einstein. 
Did you end up at this crazy 

3952
03:38:03,700 --> 03:38:06,500
stuff where the faster you go? 
The slower time goes, you get 

3953
03:38:06,500 --> 03:38:09,900
Queen songs and additional 
matter that grabs onto you as 

3954
03:38:09,900 --> 03:38:11,400
you go, faster and faster and 
faster. 

3955
03:38:11,400 --> 03:38:15,300
It's very, very strange stuff, 
but It's what happens when you 

3956
03:38:15,300 --> 03:38:18,700
take principles and you extend 
them to see how far they can go.

3957
03:38:20,100 --> 03:38:26,500
Now, libertarianism is one of 
those experiments, one of those 

3958
03:38:26,500 --> 03:38:30,300
thought experiments. 
So, basically libertarianism is 

3959
03:38:30,300 --> 03:38:32,400
founded on. 
Can a two things and the two 

3960
03:38:32,400 --> 03:38:34,800
sides of the same coin. 
Number one, the non-aggression 

3961
03:38:34,800 --> 03:38:40,000
principle, you are not morally 
allowed to initiate, the use of 

3962
03:38:40,000 --> 03:38:44,100
force against others. 
You can in self-defense, use 

3963
03:38:44,100 --> 03:38:47,000
your nunchucks or whatever, but 
you can initiate the use of 

3964
03:38:47,000 --> 03:38:52,000
force against others and along, 
Slide that is a respect for 

3965
03:38:52,000 --> 03:38:56,200
property rights that you own the
effects of your actions whether 

3966
03:38:56,200 --> 03:39:01,700
that is a sonnet or a poem, or a
song, or a house or a tree that 

3967
03:39:01,700 --> 03:39:04,800
you've planted or or the effects
of your actions such as an 

3968
03:39:04,800 --> 03:39:06,600
argument on the internet, you 
time something on Tinder? 

3969
03:39:06,600 --> 03:39:08,300
That's yours. 
You have created it. 

3970
03:39:08,300 --> 03:39:11,000
You own it. 
And morally, we own the effect 

3971
03:39:11,000 --> 03:39:13,800
of our negative actions, you 
know, like if I go and steal 

3972
03:39:13,800 --> 03:39:17,200
someone's iPod. 
I've actually owned that theft. 

3973
03:39:17,200 --> 03:39:18,700
I've created it. 
It's my theft. 

3974
03:39:18,700 --> 03:39:21,900
That's why I would get. 
Sanctioned or punished for that.

3975
03:39:22,800 --> 03:39:27,300
So non-aggression principle, 
which is called the naep and a 

3976
03:39:27,300 --> 03:39:30,900
respect for property rights is 
really the foundation of 

3977
03:39:31,100 --> 03:39:34,700
libertarianism and it's really 
not that freaky a philosophy. 

3978
03:39:34,700 --> 03:39:36,800
When you think about it. 
I mean, I have a daughter and 

3979
03:39:37,100 --> 03:39:40,600
like all parents. 
I tell my daughter don't hit and

3980
03:39:40,600 --> 03:39:42,700
don't take stuff. 
You know, this is kindergarten 

3981
03:39:42,700 --> 03:39:45,800
ethics at home 101 on the walls 
of all the brightly colored 

3982
03:39:45,800 --> 03:39:49,200
classrooms around the planet. 
So this is what we say. 

3983
03:39:49,200 --> 03:39:51,700
We say no one. 
Don't hesitate use your words, 

3984
03:39:51,700 --> 03:39:54,500
don't hit and don't don't take 
stuff. 

3985
03:39:54,900 --> 03:39:58,900
And these are kind of the local 
ethics that we are very 

3986
03:39:58,900 --> 03:40:01,100
comfortable with that. 
We live our lives, by almost all

3987
03:40:01,100 --> 03:40:03,200
of us have been instructor 
children about and that we 

3988
03:40:03,200 --> 03:40:07,200
expect in the workplace and we 
expect in the schools and so on.

3989
03:40:07,300 --> 03:40:09,500
Don't initiate the use of force 
and respect other people's 

3990
03:40:09,500 --> 03:40:14,000
property. 
Now where libertarianism is, I 

3991
03:40:14,000 --> 03:40:18,400
think very interesting and worth
understanding is like a 

3992
03:40:18,400 --> 03:40:21,300
physicist or Any other 
scientist? 

3993
03:40:21,300 --> 03:40:23,600
You take these local principles 
and you keep extending them. 

3994
03:40:23,600 --> 03:40:25,500
Keep extending them like in the 
field of medicine. 

3995
03:40:25,900 --> 03:40:29,900
One of the principles is that 
anecdotes aren't proof, right? 

3996
03:40:29,900 --> 03:40:32,500
So what you need to do your good
double-blind experiments and all

3997
03:40:32,500 --> 03:40:37,000
these kinds of cool to find out.
What actually works and what 

3998
03:40:37,000 --> 03:40:39,700
doesn't in the field of 
medicine, you know, what's the 

3999
03:40:39,708 --> 03:40:41,900
placebo effect. 
What is just spontaneous, 

4000
03:40:41,900 --> 03:40:45,000
remission of various illnesses? 
What if somebody who wasn't 

4001
03:40:45,000 --> 03:40:47,000
sick, thought they were turned 
out, they felt better. 

4002
03:40:47,600 --> 03:40:50,100
So the double blind experience a
way of trying to find out what's

4003
03:40:50,100 --> 03:40:51,800
true. 
And what's not in it separates 

4004
03:40:52,300 --> 03:40:56,400
the quackery from the actual 
useful medical cures. 

4005
03:40:57,200 --> 03:40:59,600
So libertarianism just takes 
these principles, non-aggression

4006
03:40:59,600 --> 03:41:02,100
principle, respect for property 
rights, keep pushing them out, 

4007
03:41:02,200 --> 03:41:05,900
pushing them out, pushing that, 
how far And they go, well, if 

4008
03:41:05,900 --> 03:41:09,000
they're true and valid 
principles, then there should be

4009
03:41:09,000 --> 03:41:12,200
no limit. 
As to how far they can go. 

4010
03:41:12,900 --> 03:41:16,700
So if you take something like 
personhood, the moral history of

4011
03:41:16,700 --> 03:41:20,200
personhood is kinda dicey and a 
little embarrassing for the 

4012
03:41:20,200 --> 03:41:23,200
species and for philosophers 
because, you know, personhood 

4013
03:41:23,200 --> 03:41:25,600
was, you know, in a rich white 
guys or whoever. 

4014
03:41:25,700 --> 03:41:27,500
But for the most part, it wasn't
including minority. 

4015
03:41:27,500 --> 03:41:29,400
Certainly didn't include slaves 
for a lot of history. 

4016
03:41:29,400 --> 03:41:31,800
History did include women. 
So just this concept of 

4017
03:41:31,800 --> 03:41:33,600
personhood. 
How far can we push it out? 

4018
03:41:34,000 --> 03:41:36,600
Well, we found of last couple 
hundred years. 

4019
03:41:36,600 --> 03:41:39,300
We can push it out pretty far 
and that's I think a very good 

4020
03:41:39,300 --> 03:41:40,500
thing. 
So what? 

4021
03:41:40,700 --> 03:41:44,600
If this is the question that 
Libertarians ask themselves and 

4022
03:41:45,000 --> 03:41:47,300
it's a very interesting 
question, I mean like it or not.

4023
03:41:47,300 --> 03:41:48,700
It's really, really worth 
pursuing. 

4024
03:41:48,900 --> 03:41:51,100
How far can we take the 
non-aggression principle? 

4025
03:41:52,400 --> 03:41:53,700
And a respect for property 
rights. 

4026
03:41:53,800 --> 03:41:57,600
How far can we take these 
principles and very interesting 

4027
03:41:57,600 --> 03:41:59,400
question. 
Now, when you push principles 

4028
03:41:59,400 --> 03:42:03,000
out some really freaky stuff, a 
curse, the planet that you think

4029
03:42:03,000 --> 03:42:07,200
of is flat is actually round or 
a sphere, although the Sun and 

4030
03:42:07,200 --> 03:42:09,900
the Moon look the same size. 
What is it about a about a dime 

4031
03:42:09,900 --> 03:42:12,500
at arm's length or something? 
And they Eclipse they seem to 

4032
03:42:12,500 --> 03:42:15,800
fit together quite well, turns 
out that the sun is hundreds of 

4033
03:42:15,800 --> 03:42:20,100
thousands of times bigger than 
the moon and someone so It 

4034
03:42:20,100 --> 03:42:22,000
really messes with your 
perspective. 

4035
03:42:23,200 --> 03:42:25,800
When you take principles and 
continued to extend the right, 

4036
03:42:25,800 --> 03:42:28,400
so for thousands and thousands 
of years human beings have been 

4037
03:42:28,400 --> 03:42:32,800
breeding animals and and and 
crops to further their utility 

4038
03:42:32,800 --> 03:42:36,200
for agriculture or pleasure. 
You extend that principle and 

4039
03:42:36,200 --> 03:42:39,200
say, well, selection for the 
benefit of right and you end up 

4040
03:42:39,200 --> 03:42:40,900
with Evolution or something like
it. 

4041
03:42:41,000 --> 03:42:42,600
And so just keep extending 
principles. 

4042
03:42:42,600 --> 03:42:44,900
That's really the very important
aspect. 

4043
03:42:44,900 --> 03:42:48,900
I think of philosophy of science
of medicine and so on. 

4044
03:42:50,200 --> 03:42:52,200
But it messes with your 
perspectives confusing. 

4045
03:42:52,200 --> 03:42:54,500
And it blows your mind least, it
blows my mind on a fairly 

4046
03:42:54,500 --> 03:42:57,600
regular basis. 
And so Libertarians. 

4047
03:42:58,600 --> 03:43:02,400
When you look at the world 
through the non-aggression 

4048
03:43:02,400 --> 03:43:03,900
principle respect for property 
rights. 

4049
03:43:04,300 --> 03:43:06,700
You immediately come up some 
with some significant problems 

4050
03:43:06,700 --> 03:43:09,000
in the way Society is currently 
organized. 

4051
03:43:10,600 --> 03:43:11,800
It's a very nice way of putting 
it. 

4052
03:43:11,800 --> 03:43:14,400
The way that Society currently 
manifest is probably a better 

4053
03:43:14,400 --> 03:43:17,000
way of putting it. 
And what you find. 

4054
03:43:17,000 --> 03:43:20,000
Of course, is that something 
like, taxation taxation is the 

4055
03:43:20,000 --> 03:43:23,700
initiation of the use of force. 
It is a violation of personal 

4056
03:43:23,700 --> 03:43:26,500
property on the pot of other 
people who call themselves a 

4057
03:43:26,508 --> 03:43:29,900
government and so on, right? 
It is a violation of the 

4058
03:43:29,900 --> 03:43:35,500
libertarian ethic, and it's not 
like the taxation is done in 

4059
03:43:35,500 --> 03:43:37,300
self-defense. 
So, there is a National Defense 

4060
03:43:37,300 --> 03:43:40,500
component to it, which can be 
tons of litter and During 

4061
03:43:40,500 --> 03:43:45,100
literature will talk about that.
But it's a problem, the state 

4062
03:43:45,100 --> 03:43:48,400
itself, right? 
Which is a small group of 

4063
03:43:48,800 --> 03:43:52,100
individuals who have the moral 
right and obligation to initiate

4064
03:43:52,100 --> 03:43:54,600
the use of force against 
citizens in a given, 

4065
03:43:54,600 --> 03:43:56,100
geographical area. 
That's really what the 

4066
03:43:56,100 --> 03:44:00,100
government is compulsion. 
As has been noted by Barack 

4067
03:44:00,100 --> 03:44:02,300
Obama, Chairman Mao, George 
Washington. 

4068
03:44:02,300 --> 03:44:04,600
All the people have correctly 
understood that the government 

4069
03:44:04,600 --> 03:44:08,900
is the initiation of force. 
And therefore, it is a violation

4070
03:44:08,900 --> 03:44:11,300
of the non-aggression principle.
Now, what you can do is you can 

4071
03:44:11,300 --> 03:44:13,500
say, well, the non-aggression 
principle Really good for my 

4072
03:44:13,500 --> 03:44:14,400
kids. 
It's really good for my 

4073
03:44:14,400 --> 03:44:16,300
workplace is really good for. 
My marriage is really good for 

4074
03:44:16,300 --> 03:44:18,000
my friendships. 
It's really good for them all, 

4075
03:44:18,400 --> 03:44:19,500
but it's just not good for 
government. 

4076
03:44:19,500 --> 03:44:23,600
Well, see, that's a problem. 
That's a big problem. 

4077
03:44:24,000 --> 03:44:27,100
The moment you have to start 
creating enormous exceptions to 

4078
03:44:27,100 --> 03:44:31,700
a principle. 
Well, then it's no longer a 

4079
03:44:31,700 --> 03:44:34,200
principal and you have 
significant problems. 

4080
03:44:34,700 --> 03:44:37,700
You can no longer say to your 
kids or to your co-workers or to

4081
03:44:37,700 --> 03:44:40,300
spouse or to your friends. 
That this is a principle that is

4082
03:44:40,300 --> 03:44:43,100
a moral principle because you've
created a massive exception. 

4083
03:44:43,600 --> 03:44:47,900
So, a long time ago said before 
the copernican and ptolemaic 

4084
03:44:47,900 --> 03:44:51,100
revolution of the so 15th and 
16th centuries. 

4085
03:44:52,100 --> 03:44:55,800
They believed astronomers 
believed that the circle was 

4086
03:44:55,800 --> 03:44:57,300
like the perfect. 
God would never have an 

4087
03:44:57,300 --> 03:45:00,500
ellipsis. 
It's not round, is not perfect. 

4088
03:45:00,700 --> 03:45:03,600
And so, everything had to be 
circles and this is called the 

4089
03:45:03,600 --> 03:45:06,200
ptolemaic after an ancient Greek
astronomer the ptolemaic system 

4090
03:45:06,200 --> 03:45:09,700
of astronomy. 
And the problem was, is that, of

4091
03:45:09,700 --> 03:45:13,600
course, as we go around the Sun,
Mars goes around the Sun slower,

4092
03:45:13,600 --> 03:45:15,500
some points Mars. 
It's called the retrograde 

4093
03:45:15,500 --> 03:45:17,200
motion. 
Mars seems to be going backwards

4094
03:45:17,200 --> 03:45:20,000
at his eyes going forward again.
So people started inventing all 

4095
03:45:20,000 --> 03:45:23,500
these crazy circles within 
circles within circles and it 

4096
03:45:23,500 --> 03:45:26,200
ended up being, you know, 
hundreds of pages of 

4097
03:45:26,200 --> 03:45:29,400
calculations just to figure out 
where Mars, I was in the night 

4098
03:45:29,400 --> 03:45:32,100
sky or where it was going to be 
in a week a week from now, 

4099
03:45:32,400 --> 03:45:34,600
because they had the principles 
fundamentally wrong. 

4100
03:45:34,600 --> 03:45:36,500
The Earth was at the center. 
And everything was considered to

4101
03:45:36,500 --> 03:45:39,300
be circular where, of course, 
the reality is on the 

4102
03:45:39,300 --> 03:45:41,200
heliocentric model of the solar 
system. 

4103
03:45:41,200 --> 03:45:43,600
The sun is at the center and 
everything's an ellipsis. 

4104
03:45:43,600 --> 03:45:46,800
And once you did that, bingo 
bango bongo, you've got very 

4105
03:45:46,800 --> 03:45:48,700
easy to calculate Martian 
positions. 

4106
03:45:49,100 --> 03:45:51,900
No problem. 
So you can't just create an 

4107
03:45:51,900 --> 03:45:55,900
exception. 
And have it be productive. 

4108
03:45:56,200 --> 03:46:00,900
And so with Libertarians the 
argument is well, we have this 

4109
03:46:00,900 --> 03:46:02,700
non-aggression principle. 
We have a respect for property 

4110
03:46:02,700 --> 03:46:04,400
rights. 
That's enshrined in the law. 

4111
03:46:04,700 --> 03:46:08,000
You can't assault. 
Rape kill steal. 

4112
03:46:08,200 --> 03:46:11,700
You can't do those things. 
But then the question becomes, 

4113
03:46:11,700 --> 03:46:14,700
if these are moral principles, 
then they have to apply to 

4114
03:46:14,700 --> 03:46:17,800
everyone. 
If they don't apply to everyone 

4115
03:46:17,800 --> 03:46:19,800
then they're like aesthetic 
principles or preferences or 

4116
03:46:19,800 --> 03:46:22,300
something like that. 
You know, I like the Red Sox and

4117
03:46:22,300 --> 03:46:25,000
jazz or whatever. 
If they do apply to everyone, 

4118
03:46:25,600 --> 03:46:28,000
what people in the government or
people, right? 

4119
03:46:28,000 --> 03:46:30,100
I mean, it's not space. 
Aliens is not lizard, man. 

4120
03:46:31,500 --> 03:46:34,200
So, if the non-aggression 
principle applies to everyone. 

4121
03:46:35,200 --> 03:46:38,500
And people in the government are
people, then the non-aggression 

4122
03:46:38,500 --> 03:46:41,700
principle must apply to people 
in government. 

4123
03:46:41,700 --> 03:46:44,600
And this is why in the 
libertarian position things like

4124
03:46:44,600 --> 03:46:49,100
the war on drugs are considered 
to be wrong in moral, somebody 

4125
03:46:49,100 --> 03:46:52,000
who goes and smokes marijuana, 
or something. 

4126
03:46:52,000 --> 03:46:55,300
Else is not initiating. 
The use of force assuming, they 

4127
03:46:55,300 --> 03:46:57,600
didn't sort of Steal to go buy 
and which, they really wouldn't 

4128
03:46:57,600 --> 03:47:01,200
have to do if it wasn't for the 
War on Drugs, so they're not 

4129
03:47:01,200 --> 03:47:03,100
initiating the use of force 
against everyone. 

4130
03:47:03,100 --> 03:47:07,500
Anyone by having Terry trade, 
they are not violating property 

4131
03:47:07,500 --> 03:47:08,600
rights and I'm going to steal 
the drugs. 

4132
03:47:08,600 --> 03:47:10,900
They buy it for whatever amount 
of money. 

4133
03:47:11,900 --> 03:47:15,800
And so the government then by 
you know, grabbing that person 

4134
03:47:15,800 --> 03:47:18,700
with with armed guys and 
throwing them into a cage and 

4135
03:47:18,700 --> 03:47:21,300
trying them and locking them up.
And so on preventing them from 

4136
03:47:21,300 --> 03:47:23,200
leaving and shooting them if 
they try to escape. 

4137
03:47:23,600 --> 03:47:26,500
Well, that is the initiation of 
the use of force against 

4138
03:47:26,700 --> 03:47:28,900
peaceful people. 
It's not like this Hedonism 

4139
03:47:28,900 --> 03:47:31,000
thing where it's like, oh, I 
can't wait to get crack into the

4140
03:47:31,000 --> 03:47:32,800
hands of toddlers. 
It's nothing to do with that. 

4141
03:47:32,800 --> 03:47:36,000
It really is just when you look 
at Something like the War on 

4142
03:47:36,000 --> 03:47:40,100
Drugs from the libertarian 
standpoint and say well as 

4143
03:47:40,100 --> 03:47:42,900
somebody peacefully buying drugs
initiating, the use of force 

4144
03:47:42,900 --> 03:47:45,700
against anyone will know. 
They violating property rights. 

4145
03:47:45,700 --> 03:47:49,100
Well, no. 
Then if you use Force against 

4146
03:47:49,100 --> 03:47:52,400
somebody who's not using 
aggression or violating property

4147
03:47:52,400 --> 03:47:54,600
rights, then you are now the 
aggressor and that's immoral 

4148
03:47:54,600 --> 03:48:00,000
because you are now initiating 
the use of force against against

4149
03:48:00,000 --> 03:48:02,000
the peaceful person and whether 
you're in a blue costume or a 

4150
03:48:02,008 --> 03:48:04,700
green costume or polka dot 
costume or dress like Ronald 

4151
03:48:04,700 --> 03:48:08,000
McDonald doesn't really matter. 
You still a person and that's 

4152
03:48:08,000 --> 03:48:10,100
subject to these Universal 
principles. 

4153
03:48:10,100 --> 03:48:12,600
So I don't want to get into a 
lot of detail here because just 

4154
03:48:12,600 --> 03:48:16,800
kind of like a an introductory 
very introductory thing, but I 

4155
03:48:16,800 --> 03:48:22,000
really I encourage you to 
explore this way of thinking, 

4156
03:48:22,700 --> 03:48:27,200
the libertarian position is that
most of the immorality within 

4157
03:48:27,200 --> 03:48:28,900
Society. 
Most of the evils that are 

4158
03:48:28,900 --> 03:48:32,400
occurring within Society. 
Most of the disasters that are 

4159
03:48:32,400 --> 03:48:37,700
occurring within Society are 
occurring because of a violation

4160
03:48:38,400 --> 03:48:40,900
of the non-aggression principle 
or of property rights or both. 

4161
03:48:41,500 --> 03:48:45,000
And so National debts are 
violation of property rights in 

4162
03:48:45,000 --> 03:48:48,800
that you are selling off. 
The future productivity of 

4163
03:48:48,800 --> 03:48:52,200
people who aren't even born yet 
and can't defend themselves you 

4164
03:48:52,200 --> 03:48:54,200
and I could never do that in a 
contract. 

4165
03:48:54,800 --> 03:48:58,800
And but the government can the 
Monopoly that the government has

4166
03:48:58,800 --> 03:49:04,800
on money on, can the issuance of
currency is a violation of the 

4167
03:49:04,800 --> 03:49:07,600
non-aggression principle because
if somebody else wants to create

4168
03:49:07,600 --> 03:49:10,300
create some currency and we 
agree to use it you and I are 

4169
03:49:10,500 --> 03:49:14,500
you know, you and I and some 
other guy then we are peacefully

4170
03:49:14,500 --> 03:49:19,700
deciding to trade based upon. 
Raggedy Ann dolls or whatever. 

4171
03:49:19,700 --> 03:49:21,700
It's gonna be. 
We're not initiating Force 

4172
03:49:21,700 --> 03:49:24,000
against anyone. 
We are simply using a different 

4173
03:49:24,000 --> 03:49:28,400
medium for trade and if we want 
to use gold, if we want to use 

4174
03:49:28,400 --> 03:49:32,200
diamonds, if we want to use 
anything conch shells and we can

4175
03:49:32,200 --> 03:49:34,200
do anything we want. 
As long as we're not initiating 

4176
03:49:34,200 --> 03:49:37,400
Force. 
Now, of course, the government 

4177
03:49:37,400 --> 03:49:40,600
forces you to use its currency, 
which gives it an immoral 

4178
03:49:40,600 --> 03:49:43,100
Monopoly and it initiates the 
use of force against people who 

4179
03:49:43,100 --> 03:49:46,900
would rather use something else.
And so, the Monopoly on currency

4180
03:49:46,900 --> 03:49:50,600
and a National debts, just some 
examples, for instance, that's 

4181
03:49:50,600 --> 03:49:51,700
important. 
A war. 

4182
03:49:51,700 --> 03:49:54,600
Of course, unless it's a purely 
defensive war against an 

4183
03:49:54,600 --> 03:49:57,700
imminent, Invasion war is a 
violation of the non-aggression 

4184
03:49:57,700 --> 03:50:00,300
principle in that you are going 
to attack another country. 

4185
03:50:00,900 --> 03:50:03,900
First and foremost and you are 
initiating. 

4186
03:50:03,900 --> 03:50:06,300
The use of force against your 
own citizens to extract money, 

4187
03:50:06,300 --> 03:50:10,600
from them, through taxation to 
pay for the war that you are 

4188
03:50:11,100 --> 03:50:14,200
Prosecuting. 
And so I just really wanted this

4189
03:50:14,200 --> 03:50:16,300
to be kind of an introduction. 
I certainly don't expect this to

4190
03:50:16,300 --> 03:50:20,700
be like ah, Completely agree, 
but what I would encourage you 

4191
03:50:20,700 --> 03:50:25,400
to do is to look at society and 
where you see significant 

4192
03:50:25,400 --> 03:50:28,600
problems. 
Look for violations of the 

4193
03:50:28,600 --> 03:50:32,100
non-aggression principle, 
violations of the respect for 

4194
03:50:32,100 --> 03:50:37,200
property rights and I would but 
you pretty significant odds that

4195
03:50:37,200 --> 03:50:40,600
where you see the greatest 
problems in society and the 

4196
03:50:40,600 --> 03:50:44,800
least sustainable catastrophes 
within Society, you will find 

4197
03:50:44,800 --> 03:50:47,700
these violations at the root and
I think it's well worth Looking 

4198
03:50:47,700 --> 03:50:50,200
at society and the world around 
you through this lens. 

4199
03:50:50,200 --> 03:50:53,700
Does this proposed action on 
this existing action or policy? 

4200
03:50:53,700 --> 03:50:58,200
Violate the non-aggression 
principle disadvantaged property

4201
03:50:58,200 --> 03:51:01,700
rights, if it does well, look 
deeper. 

4202
03:51:01,700 --> 03:51:04,300
And I think you'll find that 
libertarianism has some very 

4203
03:51:04,300 --> 03:51:07,300
interesting things to say and I 
think we are a long way as a 

4204
03:51:07,300 --> 03:51:11,400
species from friend, finding the
end of where we can apply the 

4205
03:51:11,400 --> 03:51:13,200
non-aggression principle and 
property rights. 

4206
03:51:13,208 --> 03:51:16,000
For more. 
Of course, you can go to a 

4207
03:51:16,000 --> 03:51:18,800
variety of places my Site has 
some more information about this

4208
03:51:18,800 --> 03:51:22,300
freedomainradio.com, but you can
go to a lot of other places on 

4209
03:51:22,300 --> 03:51:24,300
the web for this and I really, 
really encourage you to look at 

4210
03:51:24,308 --> 03:51:27,400
this very interesting school of 
thought and well worth checking 

4211
03:51:27,400 --> 03:51:28,700
out. 
Thank you so much for your time.

4212
03:51:28,700 --> 03:51:34,200
I really appreciate it. 
Hi, I'm Mance. 

4213
03:51:34,200 --> 03:51:36,400
Rayder. 
I host a free man beyond the 

4214
03:51:36,400 --> 03:51:38,400
wall podcast and I've written 
two books. 

4215
03:51:38,600 --> 03:51:41,000
Freedom through me, Madam and 
the kids are not. 

4216
03:51:41,000 --> 03:51:44,500
All right, I'm here to tell you 
why, I'm a voluntarist, / 

4217
03:51:44,500 --> 03:51:47,000
anarcho-capitalist / 
libertarian. 

4218
03:51:47,700 --> 03:51:50,900
One main reason. 
No man has a right to tell 

4219
03:51:50,900 --> 03:51:54,600
another man, what to do. 
No man has a right to aggress 

4220
03:51:54,600 --> 03:51:59,600
against another man, unless that
person is damaging that person's

4221
03:52:00,200 --> 03:52:03,900
Or another person's body or 
property. 

4222
03:52:04,100 --> 03:52:06,700
It's as simple as that. 
Thank you. 

4223
03:52:11,800 --> 03:52:15,600
Mayday anarchists in San 
Francisco are did some 

4224
03:52:16,000 --> 03:52:22,000
preliminary or May Day Eve. 
Festivities writing in San 

4225
03:52:22,000 --> 03:52:23,800
Francisco. 
And you know what? 

4226
03:52:23,800 --> 03:52:26,500
I Anarchist Anarchist? 
I have to put in quotes. 

4227
03:52:26,500 --> 03:52:30,000
These aren't anarchists not real
anarchist because the only real 

4228
03:52:30,000 --> 03:52:31,800
anarchists are 
anarcho-capitalists. 

4229
03:52:31,800 --> 03:52:35,300
The only ones that really 
understand the non initiation of

4230
03:52:35,300 --> 03:52:39,600
force, the natural organization 
of society in the absence of a 

4231
03:52:39,608 --> 03:52:41,400
government. 
As opposed to these so-called 

4232
03:52:41,400 --> 03:52:45,100
Anarchist, these non proper 
Therrien, anarchists who are 

4233
03:52:45,100 --> 03:52:47,200
forcefully imposing their will 
on others. 

4234
03:52:47,200 --> 03:52:51,000
In contrary to the very Spirit 
of anarchism and Disgusting to 

4235
03:52:51,000 --> 03:52:53,600
see that the mainstream media 
allows them to get away with 

4236
03:52:53,600 --> 03:52:55,100
this. 
It would be like, you know be 

4237
03:52:55,100 --> 03:52:58,600
like me hosting orgies in Street
intersections as a matter of 

4238
03:52:58,600 --> 03:53:01,000
protest and saying well, these 
are Christian protests. 

4239
03:53:01,500 --> 03:53:04,800
We're protesting to make sure 
that Christianity is taught in 

4240
03:53:04,808 --> 03:53:08,700
schools and we're trying to 
discredit evolutionary theory by

4241
03:53:08,700 --> 03:53:11,700
showing the Divinity of human 
sexuality and the fact that 

4242
03:53:11,700 --> 03:53:14,100
we're not we're fucking in the 
streets and we're not making 

4243
03:53:14,100 --> 03:53:15,400
monkeys. 
Obviously we didn't come from 

4244
03:53:15,400 --> 03:53:17,700
monkeys. 
So yes, we're a Christian 

4245
03:53:17,700 --> 03:53:20,200
protest and and in the media 
Going. 

4246
03:53:20,300 --> 03:53:21,700
Yep. 
Christians protesting in the 

4247
03:53:21,700 --> 03:53:23,500
streets. 
I mean, it's the same thing when

4248
03:53:23,500 --> 03:53:28,400
we see anarchists destroying 
property, rioting when the media

4249
03:53:28,400 --> 03:53:30,500
says, they're anarchists. 
Well, because they call 

4250
03:53:30,500 --> 03:53:31,500
themselves Anarchist. 
It. 

4251
03:53:31,500 --> 03:53:33,800
Just shows how dumb most people 
in the mainstream media are 

4252
03:53:33,800 --> 03:53:34,800
that. 
They don't know better. 

4253
03:53:34,800 --> 03:53:36,300
That they don't at least call 
them out on this. 

4254
03:53:36,300 --> 03:53:39,300
Because the very concept of 
destroying property of 

4255
03:53:39,300 --> 03:53:42,700
destroying, someone else's 
property is a violation of the, 

4256
03:53:42,700 --> 03:53:46,900
the moral precepts of Anarchy. 
The idea that there should be no

4257
03:53:46,900 --> 03:53:49,600
rulers. 
Well, bye. 

4258
03:53:49,800 --> 03:53:52,400
Imposing your will on others by 
force by destroying property. 

4259
03:53:52,400 --> 03:53:55,500
You are essentially ruling them.
You're taking charge of their 

4260
03:53:55,500 --> 03:53:57,700
property. 
And what is so sad, is that not 

4261
03:53:57,700 --> 03:54:00,300
just I mean at least when the 
government steals your property 

4262
03:54:00,300 --> 03:54:04,700
they pretend to put it to good 
use, anarchists so-called 

4263
03:54:04,800 --> 03:54:07,900
nonprofit Aryan Anarchist as 
we're seeing in San Francisco. 

4264
03:54:08,300 --> 03:54:11,000
Instead want to destroy 
property. 

4265
03:54:11,000 --> 03:54:12,500
It's like they're worse than 
government. 

4266
03:54:12,500 --> 03:54:15,100
Yes, giving giving Anarchy a bad
name. 

4267
03:54:15,100 --> 03:54:19,200
Giving people a bad name. 
But yeah, this is nothing new 

4268
03:54:19,500 --> 03:54:23,000
and Darkest the black Bloc of 
the Occupy Movement of so many 

4269
03:54:23,000 --> 03:54:27,000
leftist movements, the the 
hardcore extremists who don't 

4270
03:54:27,000 --> 03:54:31,000
quite go to The Logical, 
conclusion of anarchism, but 

4271
03:54:31,000 --> 03:54:33,700
call themselves selves 
anarchists anyways, because they

4272
03:54:33,700 --> 03:54:35,400
hate the system because they're 
so angry. 

4273
03:54:35,400 --> 03:54:39,400
They're going to go and burn 
down Starbucks and smash 

4274
03:54:39,400 --> 03:54:43,300
windows. 
They're breaking their attacking

4275
03:54:43,500 --> 03:54:45,400
individual vehicles in San 
Francisco. 

4276
03:54:45,400 --> 03:54:51,000
I mean, what the fuck? 
This is just a disgrace to 

4277
03:54:51,000 --> 03:54:55,100
political activism. 
But somehow they get away with 

4278
03:54:55,100 --> 03:54:57,300
calling themselves, anarchists. 
Thanks to the American 

4279
03:54:57,300 --> 03:55:00,900
mainstream. 
Media punchline Revisited. 

4280
03:55:01,900 --> 03:55:05,600
Contrary to what nearly everyone
has been taught to believe. 

4281
03:55:05,600 --> 03:55:09,600
Government is not necessary for 
civilization. 

4282
03:55:10,200 --> 03:55:12,500
It is not conductive to 
civilization. 

4283
03:55:12,700 --> 03:55:15,900
It is, in fact, the antithesis 
of civilization. 

4284
03:55:16,200 --> 03:55:19,500
It is not cooperation. 
Working together or voluntary 

4285
03:55:19,500 --> 03:55:22,400
interaction. 
It is not peaceful, coexistence.

4286
03:55:22,800 --> 03:55:25,100
It is coercion. 
It is force. 

4287
03:55:25,200 --> 03:55:28,900
It is violence. 
It is animalistic aggression. 

4288
03:55:29,000 --> 03:55:33,700
Cloaked by pseudo religious cult
like rituals, which are designed

4289
03:55:33,700 --> 03:55:36,300
to make it appear legitimate and
righteous. 

4290
03:55:36,800 --> 03:55:40,500
It is brute thuggery disguised 
as consent and organization. 

4291
03:55:40,700 --> 03:55:43,000
It is the enslavement of 
mankind. 

4292
03:55:43,000 --> 03:55:46,700
The subjugation of Free Will and
the destruction of morality 

4293
03:55:46,800 --> 03:55:50,100
masquerading. 
As civilization and Society. 

4294
03:55:51,100 --> 03:55:55,100
The problem is not just that 
Authority can be used for evil. 

4295
03:55:55,500 --> 03:55:58,500
The problem. 
Is that at its most basic 

4296
03:55:58,500 --> 03:56:00,200
Essence. 
It is evil. 

4297
03:56:01,000 --> 03:56:03,900
It is everything in everything. 
It does. 

4298
03:56:04,200 --> 03:56:08,700
It defeats the Free Will of 
human beings controlling them 

4299
03:56:08,700 --> 03:56:13,300
through coercion and fear it. 
Supersedes and destroys moral 

4300
03:56:13,300 --> 03:56:17,600
Consciousness, replacing 
replacing it with uncie. 

4301
03:56:17,800 --> 03:56:21,000
Being blind, obedience. 
It cannot be used for good 

4302
03:56:21,100 --> 03:56:24,100
anymore than a bomb can be used 
to heal a body. 

4303
03:56:24,500 --> 03:56:28,500
It is always aggression, always 
the enemy of Peace, always the 

4304
03:56:28,500 --> 03:56:32,400
enemy of Justice, the moment. 
It ceases to be an attacker. 

4305
03:56:32,600 --> 03:56:35,500
It ceases to fit the definition 
of government. 

4306
03:56:35,700 --> 03:56:39,600
It Is by its very nature, a 
murderer, and a thief that enemy

4307
03:56:39,600 --> 03:56:44,700
of mankind, a poison to humanity
as Dominator and controller 

4308
03:56:44,700 --> 03:56:48,600
ruler and oppressor. 
It can be Nothing else. 

4309
03:56:49,600 --> 03:56:52,500
The alleged right to rule in any
degree. 

4310
03:56:52,500 --> 03:56:55,800
And in any form is the opposite 
of humanity. 

4311
03:56:56,200 --> 03:56:59,500
The initiation of violence is 
the opposite of harmonious. 

4312
03:56:59,500 --> 03:57:03,000
Existence. 
The desire for Domination is the

4313
03:57:03,000 --> 03:57:06,600
opposite of love for mankind, 
hiding the violence, under 

4314
03:57:06,600 --> 03:57:09,600
layers of complex, rituals and 
self-contradictory 

4315
03:57:09,700 --> 03:57:13,800
rationalizations and labor, 
labeling, brute feathery as 

4316
03:57:13,800 --> 03:57:16,500
virtue and compassion does not 
change. 

4317
03:57:16,500 --> 03:57:20,600
That fact. 
Claiming noble goals saying that

4318
03:57:20,800 --> 03:57:25,600
the violence is the will of the 
people or that is being or that 

4319
03:57:25,600 --> 03:57:30,500
it is being committed for the 
common good, or for the children

4320
03:57:30,800 --> 03:57:35,200
cannot change. 
Evil into good legalizing, run 

4321
03:57:35,300 --> 03:57:38,700
wrong, does not make it right. 
One man. 

4322
03:57:38,700 --> 03:57:42,600
Forcibly subjugating another no 
matter how it is, described or 

4323
03:57:42,800 --> 03:57:46,900
how it is carried out is 
uncivilized and immoral. 

4324
03:57:47,800 --> 03:57:49,800
The destruction that causes the 
Injustice. 

4325
03:57:49,800 --> 03:57:53,200
It creates the damage. 
It does to Every Soul that 

4326
03:57:53,200 --> 03:57:58,800
touches perpetuates victims and 
Spectators alike, perpetuators 

4327
03:57:58,800 --> 03:58:03,200
victims, and Spectators alike, 
cannot be undone by calling it 

4328
03:58:03,200 --> 03:58:09,000
law or by claiming that it was a
necessary evil evil. 

4329
03:58:09,000 --> 03:58:14,000
By any name is still evil. 
The ultimate message here is 

4330
03:58:14,000 --> 03:58:17,300
very simple, all of recorded 
history. 

4331
03:58:17,600 --> 03:58:21,800
Ramsey yet, few have until now 
allowed themselves to hear it. 

4332
03:58:22,000 --> 03:58:26,400
That message is if you love 
death and destruction oppression

4333
03:58:26,400 --> 03:58:29,900
and suffering, Injustice and 
violence, repression and torture

4334
03:58:30,100 --> 03:58:33,400
helplessness and despair, 
Perpetual conflict, and 

4335
03:58:33,400 --> 03:58:35,600
bloodshed. 
Then teach your children to 

4336
03:58:35,600 --> 03:58:38,900
respect, authority, and teach 
them that obedience is a virtue.

4337
03:58:39,900 --> 03:58:45,200
If on the other hand you value 
peaceful coexistence compassion 

4338
03:58:45,400 --> 03:58:48,000
and cooperation freedom. 
And Justice. 

4339
03:58:48,100 --> 03:58:51,200
Then teach your children, the 
principles of self-ownership, 

4340
03:58:51,200 --> 03:58:54,700
teach them to respect the rights
of every human being and teach 

4341
03:58:54,700 --> 03:58:58,300
them to recognize and reject the
belief in Authority for what it 

4342
03:58:58,300 --> 03:59:00,200
is. 
The most irrational 

4343
03:59:00,400 --> 03:59:04,900
self-contradictory, anti-human 
evil destructive and dangerous 

4344
03:59:04,900 --> 03:59:08,500
Superstition. 
The world has ever known. 

4345
04:07:22,800 --> 04:07:25,700
Jeff sessions and weed, which 
I'm very conflicted. 

4346
04:07:25,700 --> 04:07:27,700
This is another tough one. 
I'm very good things about 

4347
04:07:27,700 --> 04:07:31,200
because on the one hand. 
I don't want the federal 

4348
04:07:31,200 --> 04:07:33,500
government getting involved 
really in anything. 

4349
04:07:33,500 --> 04:07:35,900
I don't want government involved
in very much aside from maybe 

4350
04:07:35,900 --> 04:07:37,700
like infrastructure and defense 
and everything else. 

4351
04:07:37,700 --> 04:07:40,500
Just leave us alone. 
I'd be perfectly happy for, you 

4352
04:07:40,500 --> 04:07:42,700
know, all education to be off 
the table and all the rest of 

4353
04:07:42,700 --> 04:07:45,200
it. 
I've tend toward and cap on my 

4354
04:07:45,200 --> 04:07:50,100
darkest moments to say. 
So we put them together to say 

4355
04:07:50,100 --> 04:07:55,200
the law jurisdiction, literally 
means to say the law. 

4356
04:07:55,400 --> 04:07:59,300
I'll say what the law is, and 
then it will magically be that 

4357
04:07:59,300 --> 04:08:01,700
way. 
You know, that's why they're 

4358
04:08:01,700 --> 04:08:07,200
called themselves off for 
entities author author. 

4359
04:08:07,600 --> 04:08:14,900
What does an author do? 
They write things. 

4360
04:08:15,600 --> 04:08:19,400
Say so in your mind. 
You think they make things, 

4361
04:08:19,400 --> 04:08:22,900
right? 
They make the rights. 

4362
04:08:23,400 --> 04:08:25,900
Say that's how mind control 
works. 

4363
04:08:25,900 --> 04:08:29,500
The words and people never say 
it because they never stopped 

4364
04:08:29,500 --> 04:08:32,300
even break down the word or 
consider where it came from. 

4365
04:08:33,300 --> 04:08:37,200
Whenever you're smearing or 
seeing the word Authority, 

4366
04:08:37,300 --> 04:08:40,500
you're seeing the word author 
which in your mind you equate 

4367
04:08:40,500 --> 04:08:47,400
with writing something W RI t.i.
NG writing but phonetically that

4368
04:08:47,400 --> 04:08:52,700
is the same as writing, R. 
IG HT ing, writing, something 

4369
04:08:52,700 --> 04:08:56,300
making it, right? 
And the mind doesn't separate 

4370
04:08:56,300 --> 04:08:59,000
those Concepts at a subconscious
level. 

4371
04:08:59,700 --> 04:09:02,900
Okay, hence is why they call 
themselves off. 

4372
04:09:03,100 --> 04:09:06,400
Ortiz writers and that is what 
they do. 

4373
04:09:06,600 --> 04:09:09,100
They write down the law, they 
call themselves legislators. 

4374
04:09:09,500 --> 04:09:12,800
I write down what the law is and
then it magically becomes. 

4375
04:09:12,800 --> 04:09:17,200
So on my whim or preference and 
you know, that's called, I've 

4376
04:09:17,200 --> 04:09:20,800
said it before and I'll say it 
again, it's called claiming to 

4377
04:09:20,800 --> 04:09:23,800
be. 
God is what that's called, 

4378
04:09:25,700 --> 04:09:32,000
Authority is nothing more than 
an illusion that only exists in 

4379
04:09:32,000 --> 04:09:33,500
people who are mentally. 
Ali ill. 

4380
04:09:34,700 --> 04:09:38,800
If you believe in the 40 verse 
disease within the human psyche,

4381
04:09:39,200 --> 04:09:41,700
period, I don't care who's 
offended by that. 

4382
04:09:41,700 --> 04:09:43,300
Get is offended about it as you 
want. 

4383
04:09:44,300 --> 04:09:48,300
Authority exists only in a 
diseased mind because the 

4384
04:09:48,308 --> 04:09:51,700
concept is based entirely in 
violence and built upon the 

4385
04:09:51,700 --> 04:09:54,000
erroneous and dogmatic belief 
system. 

4386
04:09:54,100 --> 04:09:58,100
That some people are Masters who
have the moral right to issue. 

4387
04:09:58,100 --> 04:10:01,800
Arbitrarily chosen commands that
they call their laws. 

4388
04:10:02,100 --> 04:10:07,900
And our people are the slaves of
that ruling class who have some 

4389
04:10:07,900 --> 04:10:14,300
sort of a moral obligation to 
obey the master class and we All

4390
04:10:14,300 --> 04:10:17,200
this Authority, you know what? 
I call it. 

4391
04:10:17,400 --> 04:10:21,000
I call it what it really is 
slavery. 

4392
04:10:21,900 --> 04:10:26,700
It's called slavery. 
It always has been slavery. 

4393
04:10:26,800 --> 04:10:30,300
It is slavery now and it always 
will be slavery. 

4394
04:10:30,700 --> 04:10:32,500
Let's stop you from izing 
things. 

4395
04:10:32,700 --> 04:10:34,900
Let's call bullshit for what it 
is. 

4396
04:10:35,400 --> 04:10:39,500
Okay, there's no inherent 
legitimacy to the concept of 

4397
04:10:39,500 --> 04:10:44,800
slavery and never has been and 
never will be And we need to 

4398
04:10:44,800 --> 04:10:47,200
understand. 
That's what that is. 

4399
04:10:47,300 --> 04:10:50,600
Authority is slavery, but we're 
just euthanizing it and calling 

4400
04:10:50,600 --> 04:10:55,400
it. 
Something different Authority is

4401
04:10:55,400 --> 04:10:59,800
the belief, the belief in the 
legitimacy of authority is the 

4402
04:10:59,800 --> 04:11:02,200
belief in the legitimacy of 
slavery. 

4403
04:11:02,500 --> 04:11:06,500
If you believe in Authority, you
have legitimized the concept of 

4404
04:11:06,500 --> 04:11:09,500
slavery, all believers and 
Authority. 

4405
04:11:09,600 --> 04:11:13,700
All blanket statement, ego hates
blanket statements. 

4406
04:11:14,600 --> 04:11:18,300
Believers in Authority are 
believers in slavery and 

4407
04:11:18,300 --> 04:11:23,200
supporters of it. 100%. 
Always have been throughout the 

4408
04:11:23,200 --> 04:11:26,400
entire time that the Universe 
has existed and always will be 

4409
04:11:26,400 --> 04:11:28,300
for as long as the universe 
exists. 

4410
04:11:28,700 --> 04:11:35,300
Blanket statement. 
Authority is nothing more than 

4411
04:11:35,300 --> 04:11:38,100
the idea that man can become 
God. 

4412
04:11:38,400 --> 04:11:42,100
And through jurisdiction, 
dictate the law. 

4413
04:11:42,900 --> 04:11:46,200
That's man wanting to be the 
creator of the universe and 

4414
04:11:46,200 --> 04:11:48,500
decide for himself. 
What? 

4415
04:11:48,500 --> 04:11:50,100
Right? 
And wrong actually are instead 

4416
04:11:50,100 --> 04:11:53,900
of discovering those laws of 
nature that the creator has put 

4417
04:11:53,900 --> 04:12:00,500
into effect. 
It's the same old story, folks. 

4418
04:12:00,900 --> 04:12:04,400
It goes back for tens of 
thousands of years. 

4419
04:12:05,400 --> 04:12:10,200
Hundreds of thousands of years. 
There's nothing new is nothing 

4420
04:12:10,200 --> 04:12:12,700
new Under the Sun. 
There's nothing new here. 

4421
04:12:13,800 --> 04:12:16,600
It's the same story of slavery 
that's been going on. 

4422
04:12:16,700 --> 04:12:20,100
Since this species has existed 
on this planet. 

4423
04:12:21,300 --> 04:12:24,600
It was just called different 
things throughout time. 

4424
04:12:25,000 --> 04:12:30,700
We The Old World Order, he needs
to be called, kingship kingship.

4425
04:12:30,700 --> 04:12:35,500
The Sovereign on the throne. 
Yeah, we're still have kings and

4426
04:12:35,500 --> 04:12:41,900
queens in certain countries, the
unimaginable unmitigated Gall, 

4427
04:12:42,200 --> 04:12:45,200
somebody calling themselves a 
king over other people there, my

4428
04:12:45,200 --> 04:12:48,200
subjects. 
I mean, you have to be joking. 

4429
04:12:50,700 --> 04:12:55,500
This concept that Authority is 
vested in one that person is the

4430
04:12:55,500 --> 04:12:58,000
representative of God on the 
planet. 

4431
04:12:59,400 --> 04:13:06,100
You know has anything changed or
if we just said we've taken this

4432
04:13:06,200 --> 04:13:10,500
old world, quote order, you 
know, I put order in quotations 

4433
04:13:10,500 --> 04:13:15,900
because can't result in order. 
It's actually the ancient 

4434
04:13:16,000 --> 04:13:22,200
slavery, chaos system, both of 
these things and nothing has 

4435
04:13:22,200 --> 04:13:26,200
changed. 
Okay, the so-called Old World 

4436
04:13:26,200 --> 04:13:30,200
Order, nothing of the kind. 
The old world chaos. 

4437
04:13:30,800 --> 04:13:32,500
Now, we have the new world 
chaos. 

4438
04:13:32,700 --> 04:13:34,100
They call it the New World 
Order. 

4439
04:13:34,400 --> 04:13:37,600
Well, I put new in quotes here 
and order in quotes because 

4440
04:13:37,600 --> 04:13:39,800
there's nothing new about it. 
And there's nothing orderly 

4441
04:13:39,800 --> 04:13:42,000
about it. 
It's the old world chaos. 

4442
04:13:42,000 --> 04:13:45,100
The old world slavery. 
It just has a different name. 

4443
04:13:45,100 --> 04:13:47,400
We've wrapped it up in a more 
attractive package. 

4444
04:13:47,500 --> 04:13:50,900
Oh, oh, I see. 
We have diffused The Authority. 

4445
04:13:50,900 --> 04:13:53,800
Now, it's not just vested in one
person because people would 

4446
04:13:53,800 --> 04:13:55,500
realize the inherent bullshit in
that. 

4447
04:13:55,700 --> 04:14:00,100
It's now vested in a few people.
That call themselves government.

4448
04:14:00,200 --> 04:14:03,700
We've taken the same magic, the 
thing that doesn't actually 

4449
04:14:03,700 --> 04:14:06,700
exist. 
This magical thing that is based

4450
04:14:06,700 --> 04:14:10,200
in violence and coercion and 
we've just diffused it, you 

4451
04:14:10,200 --> 04:14:13,600
know, we've diffused it to now 
several people have that magic. 

4452
04:14:14,200 --> 04:14:17,700
Okay. 
I mean, it can't get any more 

4453
04:14:17,700 --> 04:14:21,200
nonsensical illogical ridiculous
and immoral. 

4454
04:14:22,500 --> 04:14:23,800
And yet, people still believe in
it. 

4455
04:14:23,800 --> 04:14:26,200
This is their religion, their 
religion. 

4456
04:14:26,600 --> 04:14:29,500
It's their slavery, is what it 
is. 

4457
04:14:30,200 --> 04:14:33,100
Okay, because it doesn't make a 
difference, authority vested in 

4458
04:14:33,100 --> 04:14:36,900
one authority vested in few. 
It's the same thing slavery. 

4459
04:14:38,000 --> 04:14:43,800
And being awake means knowing 
that definitively. 

4460
04:14:45,600 --> 04:14:49,900
Deeply. 
There's only one true divide 

4461
04:14:49,900 --> 04:14:52,300
that exists in humanity. 
All the other things that 

4462
04:14:52,300 --> 04:14:55,500
supposedly separate us are 
divide-and-conquer strategies 

4463
04:14:56,600 --> 04:15:02,800
race ostensible, religion, 
background social status amount 

4464
04:15:02,800 --> 04:15:05,700
of money, people make how people
dress, how people talk what 

4465
04:15:05,700 --> 04:15:08,900
people look like divide and 
conquer all divide and conquer 

4466
04:15:08,900 --> 04:15:14,300
strategies age sex. 
It's all just ways of dividing 

4467
04:15:14,300 --> 04:15:17,100
people so that they're easier to
conquer and Rule. 

4468
04:15:18,500 --> 04:15:20,800
But there is one legitimate 
difference. 

4469
04:15:20,800 --> 04:15:25,500
And it has to do with the level 
of Consciousness that people are

4470
04:15:25,500 --> 04:15:27,500
at. 
And again, Consciousness, 

4471
04:15:27,500 --> 04:15:30,900
meaning the demystified concept 
of Consciousness that I talked 

4472
04:15:30,900 --> 04:15:35,000
about, in the first section, the
ability to recognize patterns 

4473
04:15:35,000 --> 04:15:37,800
and meaning with respect to 
what's taking place within you 

4474
04:15:37,800 --> 04:15:39,800
and around you in your 
environment. 

4475
04:15:39,900 --> 04:15:42,000
That's it. 
So, how much are you? 

4476
04:15:42,200 --> 04:15:45,400
Aware of the pattern. 
How much of the truth are you 

4477
04:15:45,400 --> 04:15:48,100
actually taking in and 
processing accurately and 

4478
04:15:48,100 --> 04:15:50,600
understanding? 
That's what I'm talking about by

4479
04:15:50,600 --> 04:15:52,200
a different level of 
Consciousness. 

4480
04:15:53,200 --> 04:15:56,700
There's only one true division 
in humanity. 

4481
04:15:57,200 --> 04:16:00,700
That separates us into two 
distinct types of individuals 

4482
04:16:01,100 --> 04:16:03,700
and that the Criterion for that 
divided. 

4483
04:16:03,700 --> 04:16:07,600
For that difference is whether 
or not an individual believes in

4484
04:16:07,600 --> 04:16:10,400
authority. 
And therefore believes that 

4485
04:16:10,400 --> 04:16:13,100
there is legitimacy to Avery or 
not. 

4486
04:16:13,900 --> 04:16:16,600
That's it. 
That's the only real difference 

4487
04:16:16,600 --> 04:16:21,700
between human beings. 
And this is what it looks like 

4488
04:16:21,700 --> 04:16:26,200
the one true divide. 
The statist or the anarchist. 

4489
04:16:27,800 --> 04:16:32,100
And I searched for some memes on
social networking to find you. 

4490
04:16:32,108 --> 04:16:34,600
No good image. 
That represents the general 

4491
04:16:34,600 --> 04:16:37,300
concept of the statist and the 
anarchist, you know, you could 

4492
04:16:37,300 --> 04:16:39,600
find a million of them for 
status. 

4493
04:16:39,700 --> 04:16:42,800
It'll just look at any police 
brutality image and there's 

4494
04:16:43,200 --> 04:16:47,500
billions of them online. 
But I, you know, I took this 

4495
04:16:47,700 --> 04:16:51,600
kind of funny cartoon meme that 
says, statism is the brilliant 

4496
04:16:51,600 --> 04:16:55,200
idea that we give a small group 
of people, the right to kidnap. 

4497
04:16:55,200 --> 04:16:57,300
Imprison her ass steal from and 
kill. 

4498
04:16:57,500 --> 04:17:00,000
People. 
So we can be protected from the 

4499
04:17:00,008 --> 04:17:02,700
people who kidnap her a steal 
from and kill people. 

4500
04:17:03,600 --> 04:17:06,200
It makes so much logical sense, 
don't you think? 

4501
04:17:08,400 --> 04:17:10,400
I love this. 
Statist argument that we need to

4502
04:17:10,400 --> 04:17:12,900
be protected from ourselves 
because human nature is 

4503
04:17:12,900 --> 04:17:15,700
fundamentally bad. 
So we're going to put the 

4504
04:17:15,700 --> 04:17:20,000
concept of authority into the 
hands of people whose nature is 

4505
04:17:20,000 --> 04:17:23,700
fundamentally bad to protect us 
from ourselves because we're 

4506
04:17:23,700 --> 04:17:28,800
fundamentally bad. 
Wonderful, Flawless logic as you

4507
04:17:28,800 --> 04:17:33,600
can readily. 
See, Flawless logic, Flawless, 

4508
04:17:33,600 --> 04:17:37,500
logic, and it goes back to that 
worldview Schism that Schism 

4509
04:17:37,500 --> 04:17:41,200
about. 
How do you view human nature as 

4510
04:17:41,200 --> 04:17:43,700
well? 
The human nature Schism, are we 

4511
04:17:43,900 --> 04:17:47,300
inherently good and wonderful? 
Beings are inherently flawed and

4512
04:17:47,300 --> 04:17:50,900
evil demonic beings. 
When in the, the truth of the 

4513
04:17:50,900 --> 04:17:54,800
matter is, we're neither. 
That's not that in those. 

4514
04:17:54,800 --> 04:17:57,500
Two conditions are just that 
conditions. 

4515
04:17:57,600 --> 04:17:59,900
They're not our nature. 
Our nature is that we are 

4516
04:17:59,900 --> 04:18:03,500
programmable such that we can 
become either of those extremes 

4517
04:18:04,500 --> 04:18:10,100
if we're program well or badly, 
So when I was looking for an 

4518
04:18:10,100 --> 04:18:13,700
image to represent, Anarchy and 
Anarchist, I didn't see any good

4519
04:18:13,700 --> 04:18:18,500
ones because they give you these
utterly ridiculous concepts of 

4520
04:18:18,500 --> 04:18:21,200
anarchists or people that are 
all about creating chaos and 

4521
04:18:21,200 --> 04:18:25,100
damage in society. 
Okay, you look up, Anarchy on 

4522
04:18:25,100 --> 04:18:27,300
Google Images, Anarchist on 
Google Images. 

4523
04:18:27,300 --> 04:18:32,100
You'll get the so-called Black 
Block, these children, that are 

4524
04:18:32,100 --> 04:18:34,400
nothing but Communists in 
Disguise. 

4525
04:18:34,700 --> 04:18:37,800
Okay? 
Think that communism is anarchy.

4526
04:18:38,600 --> 04:18:40,700
Hi. 
Because they've read the 

4527
04:18:41,000 --> 04:18:44,600
absolutely polluted writings of 
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels 

4528
04:18:44,600 --> 04:18:47,400
Etc. 
OK an advocate. 

4529
04:18:47,500 --> 04:18:48,900
Yeah. 
Well, let's take everything, 

4530
04:18:48,900 --> 04:18:52,000
give all resources to the hands 
of the state will magically be 

4531
04:18:52,000 --> 04:18:55,200
free then and then they thing 
anybody who disagrees, it them 

4532
04:18:55,400 --> 04:18:58,700
is a dyed-in-the-wool, you know,
crony capitalists that believes 

4533
04:18:58,700 --> 04:19:01,600
money is the solution to 
everything, you know, and and 

4534
04:19:01,600 --> 04:19:03,800
human greed should see no 
bounds. 

4535
04:19:04,700 --> 04:19:07,600
You know why people have a hard 
time with my work? 

4536
04:19:07,700 --> 04:19:12,500
I don't believe in any of it. 
I'm out out of the Mind Control 

4537
04:19:12,600 --> 04:19:17,700
out, 100% out. 
But all of those systems, do 

4538
04:19:17,700 --> 04:19:20,000
nothing, but lead to control and
slavery. 

4539
04:19:21,300 --> 04:19:25,500
Okay, and that's what other 
people need to get out out, is 

4540
04:19:25,500 --> 04:19:29,400
the answer out, is the solution 
get to the outside of that. 

4541
04:19:29,400 --> 04:19:31,700
So you can see it from the 
outside for what it is. 

4542
04:19:31,900 --> 04:19:37,600
Something that destroys human 
Innovation, creativity, Freedom,

4543
04:19:37,600 --> 04:19:40,400
love excetera. 
It's all those systems do. 

4544
04:19:40,600 --> 04:19:44,300
It's all they ever have done. 
So when I was looking for an 

4545
04:19:44,300 --> 04:19:47,400
image to represent a real 
anarchists, I don't want to be 

4546
04:19:47,400 --> 04:19:50,800
too egotistical and just put my 
face up there or some. 

4547
04:19:50,900 --> 04:19:54,100
Other friends who are also real 
anarchists. 

4548
04:19:54,800 --> 04:19:57,500
I saw this meme on Facebook and 
I said, yeah, that's it. 

4549
04:19:59,200 --> 04:20:02,100
Christ the ultimate spiritual 
Warrior, the ultimate 

4550
04:20:02,100 --> 04:20:04,200
anarchists. 
And again, please don't fill up 

4551
04:20:04,200 --> 04:20:06,800
my inbox saying, don't, you know
all about Astro theology. 

4552
04:20:06,800 --> 04:20:08,500
I could write books on Astro, 
theology. 

4553
04:20:08,500 --> 04:20:10,700
I problem. 
We may even do that in the 

4554
04:20:10,700 --> 04:20:14,700
future. 
Okay, I get it's allegorical, I 

4555
04:20:14,700 --> 04:20:17,800
get there is doubts to the 
historicity of the actual 

4556
04:20:17,800 --> 04:20:21,400
historical figure and I don't 
care because it's the message 

4557
04:20:21,400 --> 04:20:26,500
that matters. 
Who is Christ warring against He

4558
04:20:26,500 --> 04:20:29,100
was warring against the 
established religious 

4559
04:20:29,100 --> 04:20:32,700
institutions of his time, the 
Pharisees and Sadducees. 

4560
04:20:33,300 --> 04:20:36,000
Okay. 
Well he put out works that went 

4561
04:20:36,000 --> 04:20:41,500
against their so-called law. 
Okay, there was a big Uprising 

4562
04:20:41,600 --> 04:20:46,800
against his word. 
Then the banks of the day became

4563
04:20:46,800 --> 04:20:49,500
involved because when he went to
the temple, and they were 

4564
04:20:49,500 --> 04:20:52,100
charging ridiculous, interest 
rates on Temple coins, 

4565
04:20:52,100 --> 04:20:54,700
preventing people who actually 
wanted to go to the temple and 

4566
04:20:54,700 --> 04:20:57,000
worship. 
They Couldn't do it. 

4567
04:20:57,008 --> 04:20:59,900
Then he freaked out in the 
temple and turned all the 

4568
04:20:59,900 --> 04:21:03,100
bankers against him. 
And then who ultimately did the 

4569
04:21:03,108 --> 04:21:07,100
crucifixion, the state, the 
Roman Empire, which was the 

4570
04:21:07,100 --> 04:21:11,900
police and military of his day 
and people in the actual 

4571
04:21:11,900 --> 04:21:16,300
religion who say they're into 
the scriptures can't even read 

4572
04:21:16,300 --> 04:21:18,700
them. 
And see the institutions that 

4573
04:21:18,700 --> 04:21:23,400
this being was warring against 
was religion, money and 

4574
04:21:23,400 --> 04:21:26,900
government. 
They I can't even see that when 

4575
04:21:26,900 --> 04:21:28,900
it's right out in the open, in 
their face. 

4576
04:21:30,700 --> 04:21:33,900
And these are the things they 
put up on a pedestal. 

4577
04:21:35,100 --> 04:21:38,600
It's a joke and they're fake ass
Christians. 

4578
04:21:40,700 --> 04:21:47,700
Okay, it's called looking at the
exoteric the outside and never 

4579
04:21:47,700 --> 04:21:51,100
getting into the deep 
fundamental core spiritual and 

4580
04:21:51,100 --> 04:21:55,000
moral truths that lie at the 
center because they're too 

4581
04:21:55,000 --> 04:22:01,200
concerned about all the 
trappings, you know, so the 

4582
04:22:01,200 --> 04:22:03,300
ultimate Anarchist is right 
there. 

4583
04:22:04,400 --> 04:22:09,200
Well, I'm here today to tell you
is that there is no such thing 

4584
04:22:09,200 --> 04:22:13,500
as an awake being that has ever 
been a statist. 

4585
04:22:13,800 --> 04:22:17,500
Never won. 
Every truly awake. 

4586
04:22:17,500 --> 04:22:22,200
Being that has ever existed in 
the cosmos is an anarchist. 

4587
04:22:23,500 --> 04:22:28,600
And can never not be one who is 
an anarchist one who believes 

4588
04:22:28,600 --> 04:22:32,900
that there is no such thing as 
the legitimacy of ruling and 

4589
04:22:32,900 --> 04:22:36,500
owning other people. 
Because that's what an anarchist

4590
04:22:36,500 --> 04:22:38,500
is. 
Someone who believes there is no

4591
04:22:38,500 --> 04:22:42,100
legitimacy to the external 
rulership or ownership of other 

4592
04:22:42,100 --> 04:22:43,900
people. 
Or, in other words, that there 

4593
04:22:43,900 --> 04:22:48,100
is no legitimacy to slavery. 
That's what Anarchy really is, 

4594
04:22:48,600 --> 04:22:50,200
and I'm going to explain that 
right now. 

4595
04:22:51,100 --> 04:22:55,100
Okay, a statist is an individual
who erroneously believes that 

4596
04:22:55,100 --> 04:22:58,100
there is such a thing as 
authority vested in certain 

4597
04:22:58,100 --> 04:23:01,600
human beings magically giving 
them the right to rule over 

4598
04:23:01,600 --> 04:23:05,600
other people without euphemism, 
you know, if we stop you from 

4599
04:23:05,600 --> 04:23:07,900
izing things and we're honest 
with ourselves. 

4600
04:23:12,900 --> 04:23:16,100
Free and it's not just 
government spending much, more 

4601
04:23:16,100 --> 04:23:17,500
important. 
Even the government spending is 

4602
04:23:17,500 --> 04:23:21,400
government regulation. 
Governing regulation makes it 

4603
04:23:21,400 --> 04:23:23,600
very almost impossible to 
innovate. 

4604
04:23:24,000 --> 04:23:26,900
All Innovation. 
Today is happening in areas that

4605
04:23:26,900 --> 04:23:28,700
are not regulated. 
Luckily. 

4606
04:23:28,700 --> 04:23:31,700
The federal government has not 
decided to regulate this because

4607
04:23:31,700 --> 04:23:33,700
if it did, it wouldn't look like
this, it wouldn't be this 

4608
04:23:33,700 --> 04:23:36,400
beautiful machine indeed. 
If a government committee made 

4609
04:23:36,400 --> 04:23:39,500
one of these, I'll leave it to 
your imagination. 

4610
04:23:39,500 --> 04:23:41,600
What it would look like and you 
all know it, whether you're left

4611
04:23:41,600 --> 04:23:43,600
us await you. 
No government committee would 

4612
04:23:43,600 --> 04:23:46,300
never make anything as beautiful
as this all of you know that, 

4613
04:23:46,500 --> 04:23:49,100
right? 
But yet you want the government 

4614
04:23:49,100 --> 04:23:51,900
to make this you do because 
that's the implication of the 

4615
04:23:51,900 --> 04:23:53,900
policies. 
Many of you advocating at the 

4616
04:23:53,900 --> 04:23:58,700
end of the day. 
Okay, he's limiting me. 

4617
04:23:58,700 --> 04:24:00,000
I would go on forever. 
Yeah. 

4618
04:24:02,100 --> 04:24:12,700
His Foley Harry Potter JK, 
Rowling benefits with all those 

4619
04:24:12,700 --> 04:24:18,200
examples were in EM, edc's, in, 
in countries, with good. 

4620
04:24:18,200 --> 04:24:23,700
So, the China question, cool. 
Well, I was wondering what your 

4621
04:24:23,700 --> 04:24:28,100
opinion is, then when it affects
another part of all part of 

4622
04:24:28,100 --> 04:24:32,200
world such as Africa. 
I mean, the money we Western 

4623
04:24:32,200 --> 04:24:34,900
companies. 
I mean it could they are not 

4624
04:24:35,600 --> 04:24:38,400
their time that they don't have 
the choice of Labor and over 

4625
04:24:38,400 --> 04:24:42,500
time. 
They are that their job is no, 

4626
04:24:42,500 --> 04:24:44,800
like, the amount. 
They work is not positive. 

4627
04:24:45,200 --> 04:24:47,800
How much money they get and how 
much they need. 

4628
04:24:48,300 --> 04:24:50,300
How do you, how do you, how do 
you get to make that decision 

4629
04:24:50,300 --> 04:24:52,400
for them? 
I mean this to me, is this to 

4630
04:24:52,400 --> 04:24:55,300
me, I get this at every 
particular in Europe and in the 

4631
04:24:55,308 --> 04:25:03,300
US as well, this to me is one of
the most anyway, You sit here in

4632
04:25:03,300 --> 04:25:06,600
Europe in your cushy, 
middle-class chairs. 

4633
04:25:07,700 --> 04:25:12,400
I'm serious about this, and you 
want to judge. 

4634
04:25:12,700 --> 04:25:16,200
The African or let's take the 
Chinese because that's why, you 

4635
04:25:16,200 --> 04:25:19,800
know, an apple, the Indonesian 
so-called Sweatshop or whatever,

4636
04:25:19,800 --> 04:25:23,500
and you want to tell me the two 
bucks, a day is not a dramatic 

4637
04:25:23,500 --> 04:25:25,300
Improvement in their life, it 
is. 

4638
04:25:25,300 --> 04:25:29,400
And there's no way for them to 
get to that point to be as rich 

4639
04:25:29,400 --> 04:25:33,000
as you are, unless they go 
through that phase, and If you 

4640
04:25:33,000 --> 04:25:37,400
deny them, that Billy didn't 
make two bucks a day by charging

4641
04:25:37,400 --> 04:25:40,000
for by insisting. 
The companies paid for, and 

4642
04:25:40,000 --> 04:25:42,300
therefore, they withdraw 
completely from the market. 

4643
04:25:42,300 --> 04:25:45,100
Because As you know what, I'm 
not paying 600 bucks for this. 

4644
04:25:45,500 --> 04:25:48,600
I'll pay 300. 
And if I stopped buying this who

4645
04:25:48,600 --> 04:25:53,400
suffers that Chinese kid who's 
right now, making whatever. 3 

4646
04:25:53,400 --> 04:25:58,000
bucks a day or whatever, right? 
And he his alternative is to go 

4647
04:25:58,000 --> 04:25:59,600
back to the farm. 
And you know what they did in 

4648
04:25:59,600 --> 04:26:03,700
the Farms. 
Forty years ago, in the Chinese 

4649
04:26:03,700 --> 04:26:07,300
were all producing agriculture. 
They were dying of starvation, 

4650
04:26:07,800 --> 04:26:11,700
40 to 60 million, Chinese died 
of starvation and amount. 

4651
04:26:13,000 --> 04:26:15,600
Suddenly, you've given them 
opportunity to actually attain 

4652
04:26:15,600 --> 04:26:19,500
middle class suit to learn a 
skill to make it take to have a 

4653
04:26:19,500 --> 04:26:23,600
profession, to make money to 
make themselves into something. 

4654
04:26:23,700 --> 04:26:26,300
And by the way, the Chinese 
never complain about how much 

4655
04:26:26,300 --> 04:26:29,800
they're being paid. 
You guys complaint, We complain 

4656
04:26:29,800 --> 04:26:34,200
in the west because yes, to our 
middle class comfy lights, that 

4657
04:26:34,200 --> 04:26:37,700
seems ridiculous, but that's 
because you've never lived in 

4658
04:26:37,700 --> 04:26:40,600
real poverty. 
Nobody in England is lived in 

4659
04:26:40,600 --> 04:26:42,900
real poverty. 
The way the Chinese And the 

4660
04:26:42,900 --> 04:26:44,600
Africans in need Tunisian is 
live. 

4661
04:26:44,600 --> 04:26:47,300
When you go, when you go to a 
place and it's interesting 

4662
04:26:47,700 --> 04:26:51,500
because take take Korea koreas 
an interesting case study, 

4663
04:26:51,500 --> 04:26:52,800
right? 
You've got North Korea and South

4664
04:26:52,800 --> 04:26:57,600
Korea, 50, 60, 70 years ago. 
South Korea was as poor as North

4665
04:26:57,600 --> 04:27:00,200
Korea. 
They were both dirt poor. 

4666
04:27:01,800 --> 04:27:05,900
And in South Korea instituted, 
some economic freedom and it 

4667
04:27:05,900 --> 04:27:09,600
made it possible for people to 
go and work for a buck a day for

4668
04:27:09,600 --> 04:27:12,900
two bucks a day, and they 
developed skills and increase 

4669
04:27:12,900 --> 04:27:16,000
their productivity and they 
started building more stuff. 

4670
04:27:17,200 --> 04:27:20,400
And capital flu came in and 
increase the productivity even 

4671
04:27:20,400 --> 04:27:24,100
more and suddenly. 
And you go to Seoul today and 

4672
04:27:24,100 --> 04:27:28,100
there was rich, as you are 
petite in 70 years, they did or 

4673
04:27:28,100 --> 04:27:30,200
60 years. 
They did what you've done in 

4674
04:27:30,200 --> 04:27:32,000
hundreds of years. 
How did they do it? 

4675
04:27:32,400 --> 04:27:37,100
Because of the ability? 
To slowly reach it up. 

4676
04:27:37,200 --> 04:27:39,300
Now. 
If you demand that they skip and

4677
04:27:39,300 --> 04:27:41,500
get to your standard of living 
like that. 

4678
04:27:41,500 --> 04:27:43,200
Then they will stay poor 
forever. 

4679
04:27:43,400 --> 04:27:44,900
And that's what you're 
condemning them to. 

4680
04:27:45,200 --> 04:27:48,600
You're condemning them to tuna 
poverty, a kid, who is getting a

4681
04:27:48,608 --> 04:27:51,400
bucket to add a, his alternative
is to die in the field. 

4682
04:27:51,600 --> 04:27:55,600
You would make giving it doing 
him a favor by giving him the 

4683
04:27:55,600 --> 04:27:58,000
two bucks a day and he's 
producing something. 

4684
04:27:58,100 --> 04:28:00,100
And he's learning a skill at the
same time. 

4685
04:28:00,200 --> 04:28:02,000
And one day, he'll run the 
factory. 

4686
04:28:02,600 --> 04:28:05,100
But if you you demand that he 
gets paid. 

4687
04:28:05,200 --> 04:28:09,000
For he'll never have the job. 
He'll never have the the factory

4688
04:28:09,000 --> 04:28:10,800
and he'll stay put for the rest 
of his life. 

4689
04:28:10,900 --> 04:28:13,600
And all you have to do to see 
this in real action is go to 

4690
04:28:13,600 --> 04:28:18,900
Asia and see what they how they 
live under poverty and see how 

4691
04:28:18,900 --> 04:28:21,400
the these countries are growing 
rich. 

4692
04:28:22,800 --> 04:28:25,500
And you know, do you know that 
over the last 30 years? 

4693
04:28:25,500 --> 04:28:27,100
Now? 
This is not my statistic. 

4694
04:28:27,100 --> 04:28:30,700
This is the United Nations. 
You can look it up online right 

4695
04:28:31,200 --> 04:28:33,300
over. 
The last Thirty is a billion. 

4696
04:28:33,400 --> 04:28:36,300
That's with a B pill. 
You people have come out of 

4697
04:28:36,300 --> 04:28:39,600
poverty. 
In Asia, why? 

4698
04:28:39,600 --> 04:28:42,100
Because of capitalism, not 
because of Fallen Aid. 

4699
04:28:42,100 --> 04:28:45,100
Pollinate doesn't help anybody 
except the dictators of put them

4700
04:28:45,100 --> 04:28:49,600
in the Swiss bank account. 
What helps poor countries is 

4701
04:28:49,600 --> 04:28:51,400
freedom. 
You give them the rule of law, 

4702
04:28:51,900 --> 04:28:54,600
you know, property rights, if 
you're interested in property 

4703
04:28:54,600 --> 04:28:57,300
rights and how it helps poor 
people read, Capital ideas by 

4704
04:28:57,300 --> 04:29:00,100
Hernando. 
De Soto Peruvian, Economist a 

4705
04:29:00,100 --> 04:29:03,000
brilliant economists. 
You give them property. 

4706
04:29:03,400 --> 04:29:06,800
He give them Capital, you give 
them a job. 

4707
04:29:06,900 --> 04:29:11,600
That's how you create. 
Eat wealth not by not, by giving

4708
04:29:11,600 --> 04:29:13,300
them not by giving them 
handouts. 

4709
04:29:13,700 --> 04:29:15,800
So a billion people have come 
out of poverty. 

4710
04:29:16,000 --> 04:29:17,700
Now. 
I know some people have said, 

4711
04:29:17,700 --> 04:29:19,400
all you guys care about is the 
rich. 

4712
04:29:19,400 --> 04:29:22,300
Somebody said, what you care 
about is the rich deserve it. 

4713
04:29:22,600 --> 04:29:24,200
You know, what? 
I don't care about the rich. 

4714
04:29:24,200 --> 04:29:25,900
They don't need taking care of, 
right? 

4715
04:29:25,900 --> 04:29:28,400
They're doing great. 
I care about the poor. 

4716
04:29:30,200 --> 04:29:32,900
I care about the poor and the 
only system in human history. 

4717
04:29:33,100 --> 04:29:37,400
The only system in human history
to help the poor to help 

4718
04:29:37,400 --> 04:29:38,600
ambitious. 
Poor people. 

4719
04:29:38,600 --> 04:29:42,000
Rise of a poverty and become 
rich has been capitalist. 

4720
04:29:42,600 --> 04:29:46,400
Free markets are the only only 
cure for poverty. 

4721
04:29:46,700 --> 04:29:48,600
The only way in which you become
rich. 

4722
04:29:48,600 --> 04:29:50,400
So you don't have to have poor 
people. 

4723
04:29:51,600 --> 04:29:54,100
He's to capitalism. 
That's how this country became 

4724
04:29:54,100 --> 04:29:56,000
Rich. 
That's how America became its. 

4725
04:29:56,000 --> 04:29:58,500
That's how Hong Kong became it. 
That's how South Korea became 

4726
04:29:58,500 --> 04:30:00,100
Rich. 
There's no other way to do it 

4727
04:30:00,100 --> 04:30:04,300
when we tried socialism. 
We get poverty. 

4728
04:30:05,300 --> 04:30:08,600
We get a return a deterioration.
We get a destruction of wealth, 

4729
04:30:08,600 --> 04:30:11,100
not a creation of wealth. 
So you want people to you care 

4730
04:30:11,100 --> 04:30:12,900
about the poor and the middle 
class. 

4731
04:30:12,900 --> 04:30:16,000
I also care about the rich 
because I think that they are 

4732
04:30:16,000 --> 04:30:19,000
villainized for it, which is 
unbelievably unjust. 

4733
04:30:20,000 --> 04:30:23,400
But I care about young people 
who I want to maximize the 

4734
04:30:23,400 --> 04:30:26,000
opportunities and I know that 
the only way to maximize people 

4735
04:30:26,000 --> 04:30:30,000
opportunities is to give 
economic freedom to the world 

4736
04:30:30,800 --> 04:30:34,200
and that should be the goal. 
And that means not sitting here 

4737
04:30:34,200 --> 04:30:36,600
in judging how much a labor 
makes in Indonesia. 

4738
04:30:37,700 --> 04:30:43,000
It's not that chained. 
If the whipped slavery, is evil,

4739
04:30:43,300 --> 04:30:46,300
any kind of slavery is evil, but
what's happening? 

4740
04:30:47,600 --> 04:30:49,500
In the free countries, that's 
not slavery. 

4741
04:30:49,500 --> 04:30:51,900
That's choices that people are 
making to make their lives 

4742
04:30:51,900 --> 04:30:53,800
better. 
You don't like it, but it's 

4743
04:30:53,800 --> 04:30:54,800
their lies. 
Not yours. 

4744
04:30:55,400 --> 04:30:56,300
I have to stop. 
So. 

4745
04:30:56,300 --> 04:30:57,900
Sorry guys. 
I'd go on all night. 

4746
04:31:01,900 --> 04:31:06,800
Inventions, but I want to 
suggest you that the the state 

4747
04:31:07,200 --> 04:31:10,800
poses, a mortal danger to all 
humanity. 

4748
04:31:11,700 --> 04:31:18,000
And that this is the best reason
of all for being an anti statist

4749
04:31:18,000 --> 04:31:22,700
for fighting against statism and
every way, you know how. 

4750
04:31:23,500 --> 04:31:28,900
And if I seem to be making some 
value, judgments, as I go along 

4751
04:31:28,900 --> 04:31:31,400
here. 
I'm not going to apologize for 

4752
04:31:31,400 --> 04:31:34,400
it. 
Because they're they're not much

4753
04:31:34,800 --> 04:31:40,200
more adventurous than the value 
judgment that I prefer life to 

4754
04:31:40,200 --> 04:31:43,500
death. 
And I would like to see other 

4755
04:31:43,500 --> 04:31:47,100
people live rather than be 
destroyed by the state. 

4756
04:31:47,400 --> 04:31:51,800
I'm going to draw on a paper 
that was published in the 

4757
04:31:51,800 --> 04:31:56,900
Journal of libertarian studies 
few years ago called if men were

4758
04:31:56,900 --> 04:32:02,000
angels. 
And some of what I'll say, Today

4759
04:32:02,400 --> 04:32:06,000
you'll find there but you'll 
find quite a bit more 

4760
04:32:06,000 --> 04:32:09,600
development of some of these 
ideas there than I have time to 

4761
04:32:09,600 --> 04:32:14,700
present to you this afternoon. 
So if you if you are interested 

4762
04:32:14,700 --> 04:32:18,600
in anything I have to say here. 
I recommend that you that you 

4763
04:32:18,700 --> 04:32:22,200
find this article. 
It's available online like 

4764
04:32:22,400 --> 04:32:27,300
virtually everything that the 
mises Institute has anything to 

4765
04:32:27,300 --> 04:32:31,500
do with. 
So it's there for your, for your

4766
04:32:31,600 --> 04:32:34,800
Perusal. 
I'm going to be dealing with the

4767
04:32:34,800 --> 04:32:40,200
state more or less in the way 
that that fronts Oppenheimer 

4768
04:32:40,700 --> 04:32:45,000
taught us a century ago or so to
think about the state 

4769
04:32:45,300 --> 04:32:51,400
Oppenheimer distinguish, the the
economic means of getting goods 

4770
04:32:51,400 --> 04:32:55,700
and services that satisfy human 
needs and desires from the 

4771
04:32:55,700 --> 04:32:58,400
political means of getting 
wealth. 

4772
04:32:58,500 --> 04:33:03,200
And that corresponds pretty much
to the distinction between 

4773
04:33:03,400 --> 04:33:10,200
Choice and state force or as, as
it were the distinction between 

4774
04:33:10,200 --> 04:33:15,599
markets and States. 
So, let me begin my talk by 

4775
04:33:15,599 --> 04:33:20,700
saying something about the state
and social disorder and Liberty 

4776
04:33:22,000 --> 04:33:26,800
by the state. 
I mean, as Max Weber meant a 

4777
04:33:26,800 --> 04:33:30,000
territorial Monopoly of Law and 
Order. 

4778
04:33:32,000 --> 04:33:37,300
Of legitimate force and violence
that collects involuntary 

4779
04:33:37,300 --> 04:33:42,099
tribute from the inhabitants of 
a bounded area and makes rules 

4780
04:33:42,599 --> 04:33:44,700
that it. 
Enforces on the people in that 

4781
04:33:44,700 --> 04:33:49,700
area, hardly anything is more 
common than the assumption that 

4782
04:33:49,700 --> 04:33:53,900
without a state. 
A society will fall necessarily 

4783
04:33:54,099 --> 04:34:00,500
and immediately into violent 
disorder, indeed, Anarchy a 

4784
04:34:00,500 --> 04:34:02,099
word. 
We Out from the Greek. 

4785
04:34:02,099 --> 04:34:08,000
Meaning without a ruler. 
Anarchy and Chaos are often used

4786
04:34:08,099 --> 04:34:13,200
as synonyms. the Random House 
dictionary gives the following 

4787
04:34:13,200 --> 04:34:18,800
four, definitions of Anarchy and
perhaps some of you have looked 

4788
04:34:18,800 --> 04:34:26,300
up in Turkey in the dictionary 
before and found these some of 

4789
04:34:26,300 --> 04:34:29,700
them are fairly straightforward,
like the first one, although 

4790
04:34:30,200 --> 04:34:35,000
that can be misleading as well. 
But I'm particularly interested 

4791
04:34:35,000 --> 04:34:40,900
in the third one which describes
Anarchy as a theory that regards

4792
04:34:40,900 --> 04:34:44,400
the absence of all direct and 
coercive government as a 

4793
04:34:44,408 --> 04:34:48,099
political ideal and that 
proposes the cooperative and 

4794
04:34:48,099 --> 04:34:52,099
voluntary Association of 
individuals and groups as the 

4795
04:34:52,099 --> 04:34:54,599
principal mode of organized 
society. 

4796
04:34:55,300 --> 04:35:01,400
And To the extent that any one 
of us in the room here espouses?

4797
04:35:01,400 --> 04:35:03,599
Anarchy. 
It's in this sense that we 

4798
04:35:03,599 --> 04:35:08,800
espouse it, suppose. 
However, that the situation 

4799
04:35:08,800 --> 04:35:10,900
described by the third 
definition. 

4800
04:35:10,900 --> 04:35:16,900
We're not merely a theory or an 
ideal but a genuine possibility,

4801
04:35:17,300 --> 04:35:21,700
perhaps even a historically, 
instantiated condition. 

4802
04:35:24,500 --> 04:35:29,200
Of course, John Locke James 
Madison mansur Olsen and nearly 

4803
04:35:29,300 --> 04:35:33,300
everybody else have concluded 
from their theoretical 

4804
04:35:33,300 --> 04:35:37,800
deliberations that the stateless
option cannot exist. 

4805
04:35:38,000 --> 04:35:41,800
At least not for long, because 
it's deficiencies. 

4806
04:35:42,200 --> 04:35:45,300
Make it. 
So manifestly inferior to life 

4807
04:35:45,300 --> 04:35:54,400
in a society under state. 
In Federalist 51, Madison wrote 

4808
04:35:54,400 --> 04:35:59,900
these words, very famous words, 
and they're part of a little 

4809
04:35:59,900 --> 04:36:04,400
longer discussion that I deal 
with in the article. 

4810
04:36:04,400 --> 04:36:09,000
I referred to. 
But if anybody remembers 

4811
04:36:09,099 --> 04:36:12,900
anything from The Federalist 
Papers that all there's a high 

4812
04:36:12,900 --> 04:36:17,700
likelihood that, if that it may 
be this passage, if men were 

4813
04:36:17,700 --> 04:36:20,000
Angels, no government would be 
necessary. 

4814
04:36:20,400 --> 04:36:24,000
And if the Angels were to govern
men, neither external, nor 

4815
04:36:24,000 --> 04:36:27,400
internal controls on government 
would be necessary. 

4816
04:36:28,000 --> 04:36:32,800
And then Madison goes on to talk
about how framing a government 

4817
04:36:32,800 --> 04:36:37,700
requires that we have a 
government to administer over 

4818
04:36:37,700 --> 04:36:43,000
men, but we must somehow provide
a means of controlling that 

4819
04:36:43,000 --> 04:36:45,599
government. 
And this is the way in which 

4820
04:36:45,599 --> 04:36:49,700
political philosophers and 
political scientists have almost

4821
04:36:49,700 --> 04:36:53,099
always We thought about the 
issue for centuries. 

4822
04:36:56,800 --> 04:37:01,300
I set up a little table to help 
me and others think about what's

4823
04:37:01,300 --> 04:37:06,400
going on here. 
And it looks like this if men 

4824
04:37:06,400 --> 04:37:10,300
are angels and we can pass 
Pretty briefly over that 

4825
04:37:10,300 --> 04:37:15,099
alternative. 
It's okay with no State. 

4826
04:37:15,099 --> 04:37:17,800
It's okay with us state. 
It doesn't matter because even 

4827
04:37:17,800 --> 04:37:22,000
if there's a state that people 
who compose it and operated are 

4828
04:37:22,000 --> 04:37:24,599
angels and so they're certainly 
not going to do anything 

4829
04:37:24,599 --> 04:37:29,800
untoward. 
But in the realistic option on 

4830
04:37:29,800 --> 04:37:35,500
the second line. 
Men Are Not Angels, but for 

4831
04:37:35,500 --> 04:37:40,599
Madison and for almost all 
others, the idea that we would 

4832
04:37:40,599 --> 04:37:43,000
have no state is simply 
inconceivable. 

4833
04:37:43,900 --> 04:37:49,500
They were The Heirs of the kind 
of reasoning Advanced by Thomas,

4834
04:37:49,500 --> 04:37:53,000
Hobbes, and John Locke. 
And, and for these people and 

4835
04:37:53,000 --> 04:37:59,900
many others. 
Individuals would find it very 

4836
04:37:59,900 --> 04:38:04,700
desirable to form what we now 
call the state in order to 

4837
04:38:04,700 --> 04:38:07,200
effectively protect their 
natural rights. 

4838
04:38:07,599 --> 04:38:13,099
And they would recognize that 
absent, the state they would be 

4839
04:38:13,200 --> 04:38:17,099
incapable of protecting their 
natural rights, and so they 

4840
04:38:17,099 --> 04:38:23,300
would probably Be subject to all
the horrors that Hobbes 

4841
04:38:23,300 --> 04:38:25,700
described as the state of 
nature. 

4842
04:38:27,000 --> 04:38:30,500
And therefore the best 
conceivable situation in a world

4843
04:38:30,500 --> 04:38:36,300
where Men Are Not Angels is that
we have a state and allow it to 

4844
04:38:36,300 --> 04:38:39,800
rule over us in the way. 
I described earlier. 

4845
04:38:41,000 --> 04:38:45,000
The alleged absence of 
significant historical examples 

4846
04:38:45,000 --> 04:38:49,200
of large stateless societies 
during the past several thousand

4847
04:38:49,200 --> 04:38:54,200
years, buttresses these Theory 
Laden conclusions. 

4848
04:38:54,700 --> 04:38:58,400
Just as the poor we have always 
with us. 

4849
04:38:58,800 --> 04:39:05,099
So except among primitive. 
Peoples society and state are 

4850
04:39:05,099 --> 04:39:11,800
taken to of always Coexisted. 
Now, one need not spend much 

4851
04:39:11,800 --> 04:39:15,400
time and however defined 
theoretical arguments. 

4852
04:39:15,400 --> 04:39:17,599
Some of them worked out in great
detail. 

4853
04:39:17,599 --> 04:39:21,900
And at considerable length, for 
example, in rothbard. 

4854
04:39:21,900 --> 04:39:24,500
So work and in David Friedman's 
work. 

4855
04:39:27,400 --> 04:39:32,000
Arguments about why and how a 
stateless society could work 

4856
04:39:32,000 --> 04:39:36,400
successfully. 
Moreover researchers have 

4857
04:39:36,400 --> 04:39:40,500
adduced historical examples of 
large stateless societies, 

4858
04:39:40,500 --> 04:39:44,200
ranging from the ancient 
Harappan, civilization of the 

4859
04:39:44,200 --> 04:39:52,100
Indus Valley from as far back as
3300 BC running up for the next 

4860
04:39:52,100 --> 04:39:58,700
2,000 years to about 1300 BC. 
A society that flourished for 

4861
04:39:59,000 --> 04:40:02,400
almost two Millennia and 
flourish to a high degree for 

4862
04:40:02,400 --> 04:40:06,900
much of that period. 
Examples ranging from harappa to

4863
04:40:06,900 --> 04:40:11,500
Somalia during the past two 
decades and given the enormous 

4864
04:40:11,500 --> 04:40:15,600
literature that has accumulated 
on stateless Societies in theory

4865
04:40:15,600 --> 04:40:20,000
and in actual operation. 
We may conclude that if nothing 

4866
04:40:20,000 --> 04:40:23,400
else such societies are 
conceivable. 

4867
04:40:24,500 --> 04:40:29,400
And for a large compendium of 
literature on the entire 

4868
04:40:29,400 --> 04:40:35,600
subject, I recommend the book 
published edited by Ed Stringham

4869
04:40:35,700 --> 04:40:43,700
in 2007. 
From this literature. 

4870
04:40:43,700 --> 04:40:49,900
I've been led to. 
Think in terms of what I call a 

4871
04:40:50,400 --> 04:40:53,100
more realistic model than 
Madison's. 

4872
04:40:55,000 --> 04:40:58,000
This one again, manner. 
Angels. 

4873
04:40:58,000 --> 04:41:02,100
The state is irrelevant one way 
or the other, but if Men Are Not

4874
04:41:02,100 --> 04:41:06,800
Angels and there's no State. 
We will have a bad situation. 

4875
04:41:10,600 --> 04:41:14,500
We would be fools to argue that 
if we simply got rid of the 

4876
04:41:14,500 --> 04:41:16,800
state, we would produce heaven 
on Earth. 

4877
04:41:17,400 --> 04:41:20,000
That's not the nature of the 
human raw material. 

4878
04:41:21,200 --> 04:41:27,600
Some of us are no damn good and 
that seems to be a condition 

4879
04:41:27,600 --> 04:41:30,500
that tries we met, we can't 
change. 

4880
04:41:31,300 --> 04:41:34,700
So it's always going to be the 
case that in society or some 

4881
04:41:34,700 --> 04:41:38,600
individuals that are inclined to
criminal actions and aggression 

4882
04:41:38,600 --> 04:41:42,600
against their fellows, and that 
has to be dealt with somehow. 

4883
04:41:43,200 --> 04:41:48,000
So if we have no state to deal 
with it, we will definitely have

4884
04:41:48,000 --> 04:41:52,600
a bad situation. 
Her, I maintain that. 

4885
04:41:52,600 --> 04:41:56,400
If we do have a state 
purportedly to deal with it, we 

4886
04:41:56,400 --> 04:42:01,500
will have a worse situation. 
Although I admit that the 

4887
04:42:01,500 --> 04:42:06,200
outcome in a stateless society 
will be bad because not only are

4888
04:42:06,200 --> 04:42:10,400
people not Angels, but many of 
them are irredeemably. 

4889
04:42:10,400 --> 04:42:15,100
Vicious in the extreme. 
I conjecture that the outcome in

4890
04:42:15,100 --> 04:42:17,800
a society, under a state will be
worse. 

4891
04:42:18,000 --> 04:42:24,100
Indeed, much worse. 
Because first the most vicious 

4892
04:42:24,100 --> 04:42:28,000
people in society will tend to 
gain control of the state. 

4893
04:42:29,400 --> 04:42:32,700
And second by virtue of this 
control over the state's 

4894
04:42:32,700 --> 04:42:35,200
powerful engines of death and 
destruction. 

4895
04:42:35,800 --> 04:42:41,000
They will wreak vastly more harm
than they ever could have caused

4896
04:42:41,200 --> 04:42:47,000
outside the state. 
It is unfortunate that some 

4897
04:42:47,000 --> 04:42:52,700
individuals commit crimes. 
But it is stunningly worse. 

4898
04:42:53,100 --> 04:42:58,100
When such criminally inclined 
individuals, wield State powers.

4899
04:43:00,900 --> 04:43:05,400
Lest anyone protest that the 
state's true function or Duty or

4900
04:43:05,400 --> 04:43:10,200
end is as lock Madison and 
countless others have argued to 

4901
04:43:10,200 --> 04:43:15,200
protect individual rights to 
life, liberty, and property the 

4902
04:43:15,200 --> 04:43:18,800
evidence of History. 
Clearly shows that as a rule 

4903
04:43:18,800 --> 04:43:21,900
real states. 
Do not behave according to that 

4904
04:43:21,900 --> 04:43:25,600
ideal. 
The notion that states actually 

4905
04:43:25,600 --> 04:43:30,900
function along such lines or 
that they strive to carry out 

4906
04:43:30,900 --> 04:43:36,000
such a Duty or to achieve such 
an end resides in the realm of 

4907
04:43:36,000 --> 04:43:40,700
wishful thinking. 
Although some states. 

4908
04:43:42,400 --> 04:43:46,800
In their own self-interest met 
at sometimes. 

4909
04:43:47,300 --> 04:43:50,300
Protect some residents of their 
territories. 

4910
04:43:50,500 --> 04:43:52,700
Other than the state's own 
functionaries. 

4911
04:43:53,600 --> 04:43:59,200
Such protection is at best 
highly unreliable and all too 

4912
04:43:59,200 --> 04:44:04,800
often, nothing but a solemn 
farce, moreover. 

4913
04:44:04,900 --> 04:44:08,500
It is invariably mixed with 
crimes against the very people, 

4914
04:44:08,500 --> 04:44:13,100
the state, purports to protect. 
Because the state cannot even 

4915
04:44:13,100 --> 04:44:17,500
exist without committing the 
crimes of extortion and robbery,

4916
04:44:18,100 --> 04:44:24,700
which states called taxation. 
And as a rule, of course, this 

4917
04:44:24,700 --> 04:44:28,900
crime is but the nearest 
beginning of the state's 

4918
04:44:28,900 --> 04:44:32,700
assaults on the lives Liberties 
and property of the resident 

4919
04:44:32,700 --> 04:44:36,000
population. 
And the United States, for 

4920
04:44:36,000 --> 04:44:38,900
example, the state at one time, 
or another, during recent 

4921
04:44:38,900 --> 04:44:42,100
decades, during recent decades. 
We're not talking ancient 

4922
04:44:42,100 --> 04:44:48,400
history has confined millions of
persons in Dreadful steel cages 

4923
04:44:48,800 --> 04:44:53,000
because they had the temerity to
engage in the wholly, voluntary,

4924
04:44:53,000 --> 04:44:57,600
buying and selling or the mere 
possession of officially 

4925
04:44:57,600 --> 04:45:03,500
disapproved products. 
Compounding such State crimes, 

4926
04:45:03,800 --> 04:45:08,600
that is crimes of kidnapping and
unjust confinement with 

4927
04:45:08,600 --> 04:45:13,300
impudence State officials. 
Brazenly claim credit for their 

4928
04:45:13,300 --> 04:45:17,000
assaults on the victims of their
so-called War on Drugs. 

4929
04:45:18,000 --> 04:45:21,700
State functionaries have yet to 
explain how their rampant 

4930
04:45:21,800 --> 04:45:27,800
unprovoked crimes, comport with 
the archetype described and 

4931
04:45:27,800 --> 04:45:30,800
justified in Locke's Second 
Treatise of government. 

4932
04:45:31,900 --> 04:45:36,300
In vain do, many of us yearn for
relief from the state's 

4933
04:45:36,300 --> 04:45:40,400
duplicitous cruelty. 
Where is this state of nature? 

4934
04:45:40,700 --> 04:45:48,700
When we really need it? 
Now I want to go on and talk 

4935
04:45:48,700 --> 04:45:54,300
about the precautionary 
principle and what I think so is

4936
04:45:54,300 --> 04:45:56,800
a new application of it at least
to my knowledge. 

4937
04:45:56,800 --> 04:46:00,000
It's a new application in 
pondering. 

4938
04:46:00,000 --> 04:46:02,800
The suitability of my more 
realistic model. 

4939
04:46:02,800 --> 04:46:06,800
We might we might well apply the
precautionary principle which 

4940
04:46:06,800 --> 04:46:11,300
has been much discussed and 
nearly always misapplied in 

4941
04:46:11,300 --> 04:46:14,700
recent years in relation to 
environmental policy. 

4942
04:46:15,700 --> 04:46:20,700
This principle holds that if an 
action or policy, might cause 

4943
04:46:20,700 --> 04:46:27,000
great irreparable harm, then 
notwithstanding, the lack of 

4944
04:46:27,000 --> 04:46:32,300
scientific consensus, those who 
support the action or policy 

4945
04:46:32,400 --> 04:46:35,900
should shoulder. 
The burden of proof before the 

4946
04:46:35,900 --> 04:46:39,100
action is taken or the policy 
implemented. 

4947
04:46:40,600 --> 04:46:44,400
In applying this principle to 
the state's establishment and 

4948
04:46:44,400 --> 04:46:47,800
operation. 
The state's supporters would 

4949
04:46:47,800 --> 04:46:51,600
appear to stagger under a burden
of proof that they cannot 

4950
04:46:51,600 --> 04:46:54,900
support with either logic or 
evidence. 

4951
04:46:56,000 --> 04:47:00,700
Everyone can see the immense 
harm, the state causes day in 

4952
04:47:00,700 --> 04:47:05,700
and day out, not to mention its 
periodic orgies of mass death 

4953
04:47:05,700 --> 04:47:09,900
and destruction. 
And the past Century alone 

4954
04:47:09,900 --> 04:47:15,100
States caused hundreds of 
millions of deaths, not to the 

4955
04:47:15,100 --> 04:47:18,200
combatants on both sides of the 
many wars. 

4956
04:47:18,200 --> 04:47:24,600
They launched who's casualties 
Loom very large, but to quote 

4957
04:47:24,600 --> 04:47:30,800
unquote, their own populations, 
whom they have chosen to shoot 

4958
04:47:30,900 --> 04:47:36,800
bombshell, hack stab beat, gas 
starve worked to death and 

4959
04:47:36,800 --> 04:47:42,600
otherwise Rate in ways to 
grotesque to contemplate calmly.

4960
04:47:43,700 --> 04:47:45,700
Jr. 
Rummel who spent a lifetime 

4961
04:47:45,700 --> 04:47:50,300
compiling data on this 
so-called, Emma side, non-war 

4962
04:47:50,300 --> 04:47:55,600
state killing. 
Now has a total of 260 to demo 

4963
04:47:55,600 --> 04:48:01,900
site victims in the 20th 
century, 262 million. 

4964
04:48:02,900 --> 04:48:07,400
And if you go to his website, 
for j.r., Rummel demo site, you 

4965
04:48:07,400 --> 04:48:10,300
can find a great deal data on 
this matter. 

4966
04:48:10,300 --> 04:48:16,700
All Sufficiently horrifying 
data, I might add and I believe 

4967
04:48:17,300 --> 04:48:21,900
even rumbles numbers are under 
statements of the amount of true

4968
04:48:21,900 --> 04:48:25,300
Dem aside because many state 
actions such as the Food and 

4969
04:48:25,300 --> 04:48:31,000
Drug, administration's actions 
that have caused hundreds of 

4970
04:48:31,000 --> 04:48:33,700
thousands of premature deaths 
are not included in. 

4971
04:48:34,700 --> 04:48:36,100
Rommels. 
Compilations. 

4972
04:48:36,100 --> 04:48:39,800
Only people that were violently 
killed outright but the state 

4973
04:48:39,800 --> 04:48:43,600
has enough imagination to find 
many indirect ways of killing 

4974
04:48:43,600 --> 04:48:50,000
people as well. 
Yep, almost in comprehensively 

4975
04:48:51,000 --> 04:48:55,400
people fear that without the 
state's supposedly indispensable

4976
04:48:55,400 --> 04:49:00,400
protection Society will lapse 
into disorder and people will 

4977
04:49:00,400 --> 04:49:05,200
suffer grave harm. 
Even an analyst as astute as 

4978
04:49:05,200 --> 04:49:10,700
mansur Olson, who speaks, 
frankly of quote governments and

4979
04:49:10,700 --> 04:49:14,200
all the good and bad things. 
They do in. 

4980
04:49:14,200 --> 04:49:19,800
Quote, proceeds immediately to 
contrast quote, the horrible 

4981
04:49:19,800 --> 04:49:22,700
enter keys that emerge in their 
absence. 

4982
04:49:24,400 --> 04:49:29,200
Although he gives no examples or
even citations to support his 

4983
04:49:29,200 --> 04:49:34,100
characterization of Anarchy. 
But the state's harms and 

4984
04:49:34,100 --> 04:49:38,700
Olsen's words, the bad things 
they do are here and now 

4985
04:49:39,400 --> 04:49:42,500
undeniable immense and 
horrifying. 

4986
04:49:43,500 --> 04:49:48,200
Whereas the harms alleged to be 
suffered without the state are 

4987
04:49:48,200 --> 04:49:53,000
spectres of the mind and almost 
entirely conjectural. 

4988
04:49:55,700 --> 04:50:00,600
A Turkish did not try to carry 
out genocide against the 

4989
04:50:00,600 --> 04:50:05,500
Armenians in Turkey. 
They did not deliberately starve

4990
04:50:05,500 --> 04:50:10,800
to death millions of ukrainians.
They did not create a system of 

4991
04:50:10,800 --> 04:50:13,000
death camps to kill millions of 
Jews. 

4992
04:50:13,000 --> 04:50:18,500
Gypsies and Slavs in Europe. 
They did not fire bombs scores 

4993
04:50:18,500 --> 04:50:22,500
of large German and Japanese 
cities and drop nuclear bombs on

4994
04:50:22,500 --> 04:50:26,100
two of them. 
They did not carry out a Great 

4995
04:50:26,100 --> 04:50:30,600
Leap Forward, that killed scores
of millions of Chinese people. 

4996
04:50:31,800 --> 04:50:35,300
They did not kill more than 
500,000 members of the 

4997
04:50:35,300 --> 04:50:40,500
Indonesian Communist Party. 
Alleged party, sympathizers, and

4998
04:50:40,500 --> 04:50:44,300
others. 
They did not attempt to kill 

4999
04:50:44,300 --> 04:50:48,100
everybody with any appreciable 
education in Cambodia. 

5000
04:50:50,300 --> 04:50:53,300
Murdering 1/4 of the country's 
population. 

5001
04:50:54,700 --> 04:50:58,600
They did not kill as many as 
200,000 Mayan peasants and 

5002
04:50:58,600 --> 04:51:02,800
others in Guatemala. 
They did not kill more than 

5003
04:51:02,800 --> 04:51:07,200
500,000 Tutsis and pro pea 
shooters in Rwanda. 

5004
04:51:09,200 --> 04:51:12,800
They did not Implement u.s. 
And Allied trade sanctions that 

5005
04:51:12,800 --> 04:51:16,700
killed perhaps five hundred 
thousand Iraqi children. 

5006
04:51:18,300 --> 04:51:22,200
They did not launch one 
aggressive us war after another.

5007
04:51:24,700 --> 04:51:28,400
There's a great deal. 
Anarchists did not do, but 

5008
04:51:28,400 --> 04:51:34,700
status, did do. 
States are clumsy and inept in 

5009
04:51:34,700 --> 04:51:36,400
many ways. 
Thank God. 

5010
04:51:39,800 --> 04:51:43,800
But they are exceptionally good 
at Wrecking, death and 

5011
04:51:43,800 --> 04:51:48,200
destruction. 
Indeed, if they were not, they 

5012
04:51:48,200 --> 04:51:50,700
could not sustain themselves as 
States. 

5013
04:51:52,000 --> 04:51:55,000
In a functional sense, we may 
Define the state as the 

5014
04:51:55,000 --> 04:51:58,800
organization. 
With comparative advantage and 

5015
04:51:58,800 --> 04:52:03,800
deliberately violently killing 
people, and appropriating, and 

5016
04:52:03,800 --> 04:52:13,500
destroying wealth. 
What you see here, human bodies 

5017
04:52:13,800 --> 04:52:19,400
piled on a rail car in Dresden. 
This is only one of many such 

5018
04:52:19,400 --> 04:52:24,300
piles made after the British and
American Air Force has decided 

5019
04:52:24,400 --> 04:52:30,100
in February of 1945. 
To firebomb this old and 

5020
04:52:30,100 --> 04:52:36,900
beautiful city. when the war was
clearly, Already won. 

5021
04:52:41,900 --> 04:52:46,900
These are some of the products 
of the German government at its 

5022
04:52:46,900 --> 04:52:53,800
death camp at bergen-belsen. as 
depicted in 1945, after they, 

5023
04:52:56,400 --> 04:52:59,000
Allied troops that overrun the 
area. 

5024
04:53:02,400 --> 04:53:07,200
There were so many such pits in 
Eastern Europe that you cannot 

5025
04:53:07,200 --> 04:53:14,400
even begin to imagine. 
Here are some of the lucky ones.

5026
04:53:15,900 --> 04:53:19,000
After the state had its way with
them at Auschwitz. 

5027
04:53:30,800 --> 04:53:34,500
And that's the scene of what was
left of the city of Hiroshima. 

5028
04:53:36,400 --> 04:53:40,400
After. 
The US government took pleasure 

5029
04:53:40,600 --> 04:53:45,500
in dropping, an atomic bomb on 
this place that had little or no

5030
04:53:45,500 --> 04:53:50,000
military value at a time when 
the war was absolutely 

5031
04:53:50,000 --> 04:53:51,500
conclusively. 
One. 

5032
04:53:58,100 --> 04:54:02,300
And here's a more recent seen 
and the Iraqi city of Fallujah. 

5033
04:54:03,400 --> 04:54:07,100
Unfortunately, I could not find 
any of the photographs that. 

5034
04:54:08,200 --> 04:54:11,100
Depict in a visually compact 
way. 

5035
04:54:11,100 --> 04:54:15,200
The full horror of what the US 
Armed Forces, did in that City 

5036
04:54:15,600 --> 04:54:19,000
particularly by their use of 
white for phosphorus and other 

5037
04:54:19,000 --> 04:54:23,000
Munitions that have horrifying 
effects on human beings. 

5038
04:54:25,000 --> 04:54:27,300
And if you read about Fallujah, 
you'll find it. 

5039
04:54:29,200 --> 04:54:32,800
Ever since these attacks babies 
have been born with horrifying 

5040
04:54:32,800 --> 04:54:37,500
deformities in that City and 
will probably continue to be 

5041
04:54:37,500 --> 04:54:47,300
born for many years to come. 
The debate between status and 

5042
04:54:47,300 --> 04:54:50,800
any status is in my judgment not
evenly matched. 

5043
04:54:52,200 --> 04:54:55,600
Defending the continued, 
existence of the state, despite 

5044
04:54:55,600 --> 04:55:00,100
having absolute certainty of a 
corresponding continuation of 

5045
04:55:00,100 --> 04:55:05,400
its intrinsic engagement and 
extortion, robbery, willful, 

5046
04:55:05,400 --> 04:55:10,600
destruction of wealth assault, 
kidnapping murder, and countless

5047
04:55:10,600 --> 04:55:16,200
other crimes requires that one, 
imagine non-state chaos disorder

5048
04:55:16,200 --> 04:55:20,800
and Death on a scale that 
non-state actors seem 

5049
04:55:21,300 --> 04:55:24,000
completely. 
Incapable of causing. 

5050
04:55:30,100 --> 04:55:32,900
That's what I just said. 
I'd like to take a moment and 

5051
04:55:32,900 --> 04:55:51,000
let you read it. 
Nor to my knowledge do 

5052
04:55:51,000 --> 04:55:56,100
important, historical examples, 
attest to such large-scale 

5053
04:55:56,100 --> 04:56:01,600
non-state Mayhem. 
In general with regard to 

5054
04:56:01,600 --> 04:56:06,600
large-scale death and 
destruction know person group or

5055
04:56:06,600 --> 04:56:11,500
private organization can even 
begin to compare to the state 

5056
04:56:12,100 --> 04:56:16,900
which is easily the greatest 
instrument of Destruction known 

5057
04:56:16,900 --> 04:56:21,800
to man. 
Almost all non-state threats to 

5058
04:56:21,800 --> 04:56:26,600
life, liberty and property 
appear to be relatively Petty. 

5059
04:56:27,800 --> 04:56:34,000
And therefore can be dealt with.
In general, only states can pose

5060
04:56:34,000 --> 04:56:39,100
truly massive threats. 
And sooner or later the horrors 

5061
04:56:39,100 --> 04:56:43,800
with which they minus-- mankind,
inevitably come to pass. 

5062
04:56:46,100 --> 04:56:49,300
The lesson of the precautionary 
principle is plane. 

5063
04:56:50,900 --> 04:56:56,000
Because people are vile and 
corruptible the state which 

5064
04:56:56,000 --> 04:56:59,600
holds by far the greatest 
potential for harm and tends to 

5065
04:56:59,600 --> 04:57:05,400
be captured by the worst of the 
worst is much too risky for 

5066
04:57:05,400 --> 04:57:10,200
anyone to justify. 
Its continued existence to 

5067
04:57:10,200 --> 04:57:12,900
tolerate. 
It is not simply to play with 

5068
04:57:12,900 --> 04:57:16,300
fire. 
But to Chance the total 

5069
04:57:16,300 --> 04:57:26,400
Destruction of the human race. 
I want to say a few words now 

5070
04:57:26,500 --> 04:57:29,900
about some Dynamic 
considerations that enter into 

5071
04:57:30,300 --> 04:57:34,900
this subject. 
Classic discussions of the State

5072
04:57:34,900 --> 04:57:38,200
vs. 
Non-state societal outcomes 

5073
04:57:38,200 --> 04:57:40,900
usually involves static 
comparisons. 

5074
04:57:41,500 --> 04:57:44,600
They ignore the changes that 
occurs systematically with the 

5075
04:57:44,600 --> 04:57:48,800
passage of time. 
For example, a hobbesian are 

5076
04:57:48,800 --> 04:57:52,800
lockean account stipulates that 
in a state of nature which has 

5077
04:57:52,800 --> 04:57:56,600
no governing State, a great deal
of disorder, prevails and 

5078
04:57:56,600 --> 04:58:01,900
Adoption of a state brings about
a more orderly condition analyst

5079
04:58:01,900 --> 04:58:04,400
recognized. 
That the people sacrifice some 

5080
04:58:04,400 --> 04:58:08,100
of their Liberties, when they 
adopt a state Hobbs goes so far 

5081
04:58:08,100 --> 04:58:12,200
as to suppose that the people 
sacrifice all their Liberties to

5082
04:58:12,200 --> 04:58:16,800
an omnipotent Sovereign in 
exchange for his promise to 

5083
04:58:16,800 --> 04:58:21,200
protect their lives. 
A ruler always assures his 

5084
04:58:21,200 --> 04:58:23,900
victims that their loss of 
Liberties is the price. 

5085
04:58:23,900 --> 04:58:27,600
They must pay for additional 
security order. 

5086
04:58:27,700 --> 04:58:34,300
He purports to establish. 
Well, might we question whether 

5087
04:58:34,300 --> 04:58:39,100
the ruler has either the 
intention or the capability to 

5088
04:58:39,100 --> 04:58:41,500
reduce the degree of social 
disorder. 

5089
04:58:42,800 --> 04:58:47,600
Plenty of evidence, attest that 
State written societies, boil 

5090
04:58:47,600 --> 04:58:51,300
with disorder. 
And the United States. 

5091
04:58:51,300 --> 04:58:54,800
For example, a country brimming 
with official Protectors of 

5092
04:58:54,800 --> 04:58:59,600
every imaginable. 
Stripe, the populace suffered in

5093
04:58:59,600 --> 04:59:03,600
the year. 2011, according to 
figures, the government itself 

5094
04:59:03,600 --> 04:59:06,300
endorses, which are certainly 
under statements. 

5095
04:59:07,700 --> 04:59:11,500
Almost 15,000 murders and 
non-negligent. 

5096
04:59:11,500 --> 04:59:16,700
Manslaughter, 's more than 
83,000, forcible rapes. 

5097
04:59:18,200 --> 04:59:24,200
Three hundred and fifty four 
thousand robberies. 750 1000, 

5098
04:59:24,200 --> 04:59:28,700
aggravated assaults and more 
than nine million property 

5099
04:59:28,700 --> 04:59:35,000
crimes, such as burglaries, 
Larson, these and theft's The 

5100
04:59:35,000 --> 04:59:37,700
governments of the United States
have taken the people's 

5101
04:59:37,700 --> 04:59:40,000
Liberties. 
If you don't think so, you need 

5102
04:59:40,000 --> 04:59:43,300
to spend more time, reading us 
statutes at large in the code of

5103
04:59:43,300 --> 04:59:47,200
federal regulations, not to 
mention your state, and local 

5104
04:59:47,200 --> 04:59:52,700
laws and ordinances. 
So they've taken the Liberties, 

5105
04:59:53,200 --> 04:59:56,000
but where's the protective quid 
pro quo? 

5106
04:59:57,700 --> 05:00:01,300
They broke the eggs of our 
liberties without a doubt, but 

5107
05:00:01,300 --> 05:00:04,900
where's the bloody omelet of 
personal protection and social 

5108
05:00:04,900 --> 05:00:12,100
order where? 
Suppose we concluded if only for

5109
05:00:12,100 --> 05:00:16,200
purposes of discussion that the 
initial establishment of the 

5110
05:00:16,200 --> 05:00:18,900
state, reduces the degree of 
social disorder. 

5111
05:00:19,200 --> 05:00:22,900
The obvious question. 
However, seldom asked by 

5112
05:00:22,900 --> 05:00:25,500
philosophers then becomes what 
happens. 

5113
05:00:25,500 --> 05:00:29,700
Next. 
Does the degree of social 

5114
05:00:29,700 --> 05:00:34,600
disorder, remain constant? 
Everything we've discovered in 

5115
05:00:34,600 --> 05:00:39,000
theory and by observation flies,
in the face of such constancy. 

5116
05:00:39,600 --> 05:00:43,600
In fact, the likely progression 
over time is that under State 

5117
05:00:43,600 --> 05:00:47,700
domination, social disorder 
tends to increase. 

5118
05:00:49,900 --> 05:00:53,900
This tendency exists because the
state attempts in countless ways

5119
05:00:53,900 --> 05:00:57,700
to compel people to act against 
their perceived self-interest, 

5120
05:00:58,300 --> 05:01:02,100
and people respond by resorting 
to all sorts of evasions black 

5121
05:01:02,100 --> 05:01:05,300
markets, and officially defined 
crimes. 

5122
05:01:06,500 --> 05:01:09,100
Consider for example, what 
happened when the state ordered 

5123
05:01:09,100 --> 05:01:14,500
people not to make sale possess 
or consume alcoholic beverages 

5124
05:01:14,900 --> 05:01:19,800
or certain narcotics? 
Namely black markets and crime 

5125
05:01:19,800 --> 05:01:22,300
Galore. 
Including countless, assaults 

5126
05:01:22,300 --> 05:01:27,300
and murders. 
Of course, the states orders to 

5127
05:01:27,300 --> 05:01:32,000
pay stipulated taxes or fees 
have given rise to a plethora of

5128
05:01:32,000 --> 05:01:35,400
evasive measures, some of them 
carrying violence against 

5129
05:01:35,400 --> 05:01:38,500
persons or the destruction of 
property in their train. 

5130
05:01:39,500 --> 05:01:42,700
Perhaps equally important, the 
states concentration of its 

5131
05:01:42,700 --> 05:01:45,600
police force is on tax 
collection, collection 

5132
05:01:45,800 --> 05:01:49,400
enforcement of victimless 
crimes, and other measures at 

5133
05:01:49,400 --> 05:01:53,700
odds with the people's perceived
self-interest diverts. 

5134
05:01:53,700 --> 05:01:58,300
Those forces from making any 
more than a token attempt to 

5135
05:01:58,300 --> 05:02:02,600
protect people against such 
everyday crimes as murder rape 

5136
05:02:02,600 --> 05:02:06,500
robbery and fraud, who's 
prevention, the people actually 

5137
05:02:06,500 --> 05:02:10,900
value over time. 
The social Miss allocation of 

5138
05:02:10,900 --> 05:02:15,800
the state's Protective Services 
grows as the state itself, 

5139
05:02:15,800 --> 05:02:19,800
shifts more and more resources 
to Ward the enforcement of laws 

5140
05:02:20,000 --> 05:02:22,900
adverse to the people's genuine 
interest. 

5141
05:02:23,100 --> 05:02:27,600
And as the people make moving 
targets of themselves in ways, 

5142
05:02:27,600 --> 05:02:30,100
that augment the degree of 
social disorder. 

5143
05:02:32,900 --> 05:02:36,700
If the degree of social disorder
in a society, under the state 

5144
05:02:36,700 --> 05:02:41,300
tends to increase, then even if 
the initial establishment of the

5145
05:02:41,300 --> 05:02:47,100
state did, reduce disorder, a 
time will come when the degree 

5146
05:02:47,100 --> 05:02:51,600
of social disorder, will exceed,
that of a society with no state.

5147
05:02:53,700 --> 05:02:59,300
If so, then momentarily, taking 
for granted the myth of a social

5148
05:02:59,300 --> 05:03:03,200
contract, the initial bargain, 
the people struck will, 

5149
05:03:03,200 --> 05:03:06,500
eventually come to be seen as a 
pact with the Devil. 

5150
05:03:07,500 --> 05:03:11,400
A bargain that at best held 
advantages in the short term, 

5151
05:03:11,700 --> 05:03:16,000
but proved to be a disappointing
deal all around in the longer 

5152
05:03:16,000 --> 05:03:22,100
term. 
Moreover, whereas under estate 

5153
05:03:22,100 --> 05:03:25,300
social disorder, 10 
systematically to increase. 

5154
05:03:27,200 --> 05:03:31,200
Without the state social 
disorder tends systematically to

5155
05:03:31,500 --> 05:03:36,600
decrease. 
This ladder, tendency reflects 

5156
05:03:36,600 --> 05:03:41,200
the progressive and mutually 
advantageous solution of social 

5157
05:03:41,200 --> 05:03:45,300
problems characteristic of a 
free spontaneous order. 

5158
05:03:47,100 --> 05:03:50,000
We have had three centuries of 
instruction in the workings of 

5159
05:03:50,008 --> 05:03:53,400
the spontaneous order of a free 
Society, stretching, from 

5160
05:03:53,400 --> 05:03:57,500
Bernard, de Mandeville, Adam 
Ferguson, and Adam Smith in the 

5161
05:03:57,500 --> 05:04:02,300
18th century to Karl menninger. 
In the 19th century to F A Hayek

5162
05:04:02,300 --> 05:04:05,000
and Murray rothbard in the 20th 
century to. 

5163
05:04:05,000 --> 05:04:10,600
Their numerous followers in the 
21st century, unlike the forced 

5164
05:04:10,600 --> 05:04:14,000
exchanges and coerced 
Arrangements, enforced by the 

5165
05:04:14,000 --> 05:04:19,200
state, the protective and 
Innovations of a spontaneous 

5166
05:04:19,300 --> 05:04:22,700
order. 
Non-state order can achieve 

5167
05:04:22,700 --> 05:04:27,600
acceptance only voluntarily, 
which is to say, only when all 

5168
05:04:27,600 --> 05:04:31,700
who participate in them, expect 
them to produce net benefits. 

5169
05:04:33,100 --> 05:04:36,400
Consider for example, a simple 
example of the householder who 

5170
05:04:36,400 --> 05:04:39,900
keeps a watchful eye on his 
neighbor's property when the 

5171
05:04:39,900 --> 05:04:44,500
owner is away, just as the 
neighbor will watch his property

5172
05:04:44,500 --> 05:04:47,700
when he is away. 
And contrast the simple 

5173
05:04:47,700 --> 05:04:51,600
effective Cooperative form of 
protection, with the foe 

5174
05:04:51,600 --> 05:04:56,500
protection of the state's police
officer who, occupies himself at

5175
05:04:56,500 --> 05:05:00,600
Great public expense driving 
about aimlessly, Harrison 

5176
05:05:00,600 --> 05:05:04,700
citizens pointlessly and 
Loitering in the donut shop. 

5177
05:05:13,000 --> 05:05:18,000
The only shops kept open in a 
large sector of Boston when it 

5178
05:05:18,000 --> 05:05:23,000
was clamped down into virtual 
martial law recently, see the 

5179
05:05:23,000 --> 05:05:30,000
connection. 
Neighborliness spreads naturally

5180
05:05:30,000 --> 05:05:37,100
and beneficially. 
Whereas State protection, quote 

5181
05:05:37,100 --> 05:05:42,600
protection, spreads cancerous 
lie and harmfully, the one 

5182
05:05:42,600 --> 05:05:45,700
preserves Liberties, the other 
destroys them. 

5183
05:05:48,000 --> 05:05:51,600
My foregoing argument expresses 
among other things, what? 

5184
05:05:51,600 --> 05:05:55,300
Thomas Jefferson stated more 
eloquently, when he wrote the 

5185
05:05:55,300 --> 05:06:00,300
natural progress of things. 
That is the natural progress in 

5186
05:06:00,300 --> 05:06:05,400
a society under a state is for 
Liberty to yield and government 

5187
05:06:05,400 --> 05:06:09,700
to gain ground. 
Those are the Dynamics we have 

5188
05:06:09,700 --> 05:06:13,600
to face here. 
Thus, even though, the mythical 

5189
05:06:13,600 --> 05:06:17,100
people entering into a social 
contract might have considered 

5190
05:06:17,100 --> 05:06:21,900
their sacrifice of Liberties to 
the state at that time. 

5191
05:06:22,500 --> 05:06:24,400
A price, they were willing to 
pay. 

5192
05:06:25,400 --> 05:06:28,900
They could scarcely have 
suspected that with the passage 

5193
05:06:28,900 --> 05:06:32,400
of time. 
Their remaining Liberties would 

5194
05:06:32,400 --> 05:06:37,300
be paid one after another 
notwithstanding the social 

5195
05:06:37,300 --> 05:06:39,700
order. 
They initially received from the

5196
05:06:39,700 --> 05:06:44,100
state in return, would 
systematically diminish. 

5197
05:07:01,800 --> 05:07:05,400
If a population acts to serve 
its common interests. 

5198
05:07:06,700 --> 05:07:12,300
It will never choose the state. 
In reaching this conclusion. 

5199
05:07:12,300 --> 05:07:17,700
We need not deny the countless 
problems that will plague people

5200
05:07:17,700 --> 05:07:21,100
living in a society without the 
state. 

5201
05:07:22,300 --> 05:07:26,300
Any an article Society being 
people to normal proportions by 

5202
05:07:26,300 --> 05:07:33,100
vile and corruptible individuals
will have crimes and miseries of

5203
05:07:33,100 --> 05:07:37,800
plenty. 
But everything that makes life 

5204
05:07:38,400 --> 05:07:45,300
without a state undesirable. 
Makes life with a state even 

5205
05:07:45,400 --> 05:07:50,400
more undesirable. 
The idea that the antisocial 

5206
05:07:50,400 --> 05:07:55,800
tendencies that afflict people 
in every society can be cured or

5207
05:07:55,800 --> 05:08:00,400
even ameliorated by giving a few
persons great discretionary 

5208
05:08:00,400 --> 05:08:04,900
power over all the others is 
upon serious reflection. 

5209
05:08:05,600 --> 05:08:09,400
Seen to be a wildly mistaken 
notion. 

5210
05:08:11,400 --> 05:08:15,600
Perhaps it is needless to add 
that the structural checks and 

5211
05:08:15,600 --> 05:08:20,000
balances on which Madison relied
to restrain, the government's 

5212
05:08:20,000 --> 05:08:23,600
abuses have proven to be 
increasingly unavailing. 

5213
05:08:26,900 --> 05:08:30,000
And bearing in mind, the 
expansive claims and actions 

5214
05:08:30,000 --> 05:08:33,200
under the present u.s. 
Regime, these checks and 

5215
05:08:33,200 --> 05:08:36,300
balances are now. 
Almost wholly, suspect 

5216
05:08:36,300 --> 05:08:41,800
superseded by form of executive 
Caesar ISM in which the branches

5217
05:08:41,800 --> 05:08:45,000
of government that were supposed
to check and balance each other 

5218
05:08:45,300 --> 05:08:50,300
have instead coalesced into a 
mutually supportive design to 

5219
05:08:50,300 --> 05:08:55,200
plunder the people and reduce 
them to Absolute Domination by 

5220
05:08:55,200 --> 05:09:01,100
the state. 
Today, however, I have tried 

5221
05:09:01,100 --> 05:09:05,100
only to show how we may think 
more clearly about the choice 

5222
05:09:05,500 --> 05:09:09,800
between a society under the 
state and a society, composed of

5223
05:09:09,800 --> 05:09:12,400
genuinely self-governing 
individuals. 

5224
05:09:13,500 --> 05:09:17,500
Assuming that we really had such
a choice, the better option 

5225
05:09:17,500 --> 05:09:21,900
seems to me fairly obvious. 
If you take anything away from 

5226
05:09:21,900 --> 05:09:26,000
my arguments and my evidence. 
However, I hope that it will be 

5227
05:09:26,000 --> 05:09:30,500
an appreciation of how highly 
warranted is an application of 

5228
05:09:30,500 --> 05:09:35,000
the precautionary principle in 
choosing between Anarchy and the

5229
05:09:35,000 --> 05:09:40,000
state. 
Fire has proven to be a 

5230
05:09:40,000 --> 05:09:45,200
magnificent Aid to human beings.
But a fire. 

5231
05:09:46,500 --> 05:09:51,200
That cannot be contained. 
Portents are utter destruction. 

5232
05:09:52,500 --> 05:09:56,300
And the state is precisely such 
a fire.

Thank you very much.
