1
00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:04,400
Each individual should have the 
freest possible scope for the 

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,800
development of his faculties and
his personality. 

3
00:00:07,900 --> 00:00:10,800
In order to have this scope. 
He must have freedom from 

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,900
violence against himself, 
violence can only repress and 

5
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:16,600
Destroy human growth and 
Endeavor. 

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,200
And neither can reason and 
creativity function under an 

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,200
atmosphere of coercion. 
If each person has equal defense

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,800
against violence, this equality 
before the law will permit him 

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,300
to maximize his Potentials, 
welcome to Keith's night. 

10
00:00:31,300 --> 00:00:35,000
Don't tread on anyone today. 
We have Sean layout to discuss a

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,900
book. 
He has written regarding 

12
00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:40,000
morality. 
I don't want to give away the 

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,200
title just yet because it's 
terrific. 

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,100
Sean. 
Thank you for coming on Keith 

15
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:45,300
Knight. 
Don't try it on anyone. 

16
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:46,800
Oh, thank you so much for having
me. 

17
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,400
I really appreciate it. 
So when discussing morality, a 

18
00:00:50,408 --> 00:00:54,400
few things, come to mind that we
can sort of all agree on without

19
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,700
there being, you know, a fight 
in the cafeteria at work about 

20
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:02,100
anything and it's like, Okay, 
the things we know are wrong 

21
00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:05,099
slavery. 
Rape murder kidnapping, theft 

22
00:01:05,099 --> 00:01:07,900
genocide. 
What is it about? 

23
00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:11,300
These acts that you think is 
immoral. 

24
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:13,800
Well, yeah, that's that's the 
big question. 

25
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,800
And I actually was listening to 
your show with Mark passio and 

26
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,700
Larkin Rose recently. 
And that question was, it was 

27
00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:24,100
floated and it's a challenging 
one. 

28
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,600
So, I took a step back and I 
started thinking, okay. 

29
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,300
So who has who? 
Who determines this, this 

30
00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:33,700
morality where, you know, where 
is its source? 

31
00:01:34,300 --> 00:01:41,500
And when looking at a particular
act, I realized that we all know

32
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:45,700
that the person who takes an 
action, can't be the judge of 

33
00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:49,700
the morality of that action 
because then they, you know, the

34
00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:53,700
classic example is, you know, 
mousey tongue or something can 

35
00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:57,600
judge his own actions to be 
moral external. 

36
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,500
Observers can't judge. 
Either because they're not 

37
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:06,800
affected by the action at all. 
So, by logical deduction, only 

38
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,300
the receiver, the person who is 
who is being affected by that 

39
00:02:10,300 --> 00:02:14,100
action, is the one who's judging
that action to be moral or 

40
00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:19,200
immoral and ultimately it comes 
down to consent. 

41
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:23,600
If the person who is being acted
against is consenting to the 

42
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,800
action. 
Then, the action is perfectly 

43
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,900
moral. 
If they are not consenting to 

44
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:30,200
the action than the action, is 
Oral. 

45
00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:35,300
And thus was where I made the 
connection between consent and 

46
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:37,800
morality. 
And so that's why I titled the 

47
00:02:37,808 --> 00:02:42,700
book consent is morality. 
Now, just so we're on the same 

48
00:02:42,700 --> 00:02:44,700
page. 
First of all, I love how at the 

49
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:46,400
beginning of the book, you get 
definition. 

50
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,400
So, we're on the right page. 
So many philosophy, books could 

51
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,000
either just not have been 
written or if saved 300 Pages by

52
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,800
just making sure, we're talking 
about the same thing. 

53
00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:59,800
How would you define consent? 
Okay, so consent. 

54
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:07,700
Is the affirmative decision or 
expression of accepting an 

55
00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:12,900
action? 
It's when we can get into into 

56
00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:15,300
the depths of the consent 
itself, but that that's really 

57
00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:20,800
the bottom line is if a person 
voluntarily, you know, without 

58
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,400
without external coercion 
allows, another person to take 

59
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,300
an action or doesn't action to 
themselves than by definition 

60
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:34,300
that consent. 
To it, but it's really about the

61
00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:36,800
voluntary acceptance of. 
And what's also very important 

62
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:42,200
is the is the expression of it. 
It must be explicit and it must 

63
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,400
be. 
It must be given so that the 

64
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,900
other party that's taking the 
action actually has the consent.

65
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:54,300
Do you think there are times 
where there is implicit consent?

66
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:58,900
For example, if I let someone in
my house, well, they can get 

67
00:03:58,900 --> 00:04:01,800
some water from the fridge. 
They can sit on the couch. 

68
00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:06,200
Maybe they can have, you know, 
they can use my pen and the ink 

69
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,200
in there, but they can't take my
car. 

70
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,100
Do you think there is some 
implied, consent in the action 

71
00:04:12,100 --> 00:04:14,400
for the sake of? 
I mean, it would take so much 

72
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,800
time and effort and energy to 
get consent for every single 

73
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,500
thing. 
That's sometimes we do go on 

74
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:21,000
implied. 
I think that there's there's 

75
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,200
certainly cultural aspects to to
that I argue in the book that 

76
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,200
technically, if you want to get 
down to you know splitting 

77
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,700
hairs. 
There's no there's no actual 

78
00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:35,600
implied consent. 
I think the the good example is 

79
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,700
if you're if you fall 
unconscious and, you know, 

80
00:04:37,707 --> 00:04:41,100
medical people start to start to
try to help you. 

81
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:46,000
Or if you know, if a young 
teenager attempts suicide or 

82
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,800
something, then people try to to
save that person. 

83
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:54,500
There's some people say that 
there's an implied consent. 

84
00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:58,500
In fact, I argued that the 
medical personnel in that 

85
00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:01,700
example. 
Violating the person's consent. 

86
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:08,300
Now, maybe in our society. 
We essentially are looking the 

87
00:05:08,300 --> 00:05:13,500
other way to the violation of 
that consent, as you know, a lot

88
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:16,200
of folks in our space. 
A lot of people are looking the 

89
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,000
other way about a lot of 
violations, comes of consent in 

90
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,200
society. 
So that's not entirely unheard 

91
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,500
of but technically you want to 
get down to brass tacks. 

92
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:31,500
I would argue that those are 
violations of Sent and do you 

93
00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:35,100
think that they can be justified
in some instances? 

94
00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:39,500
For example, is it okay for me 
to go and invade anyone's house 

95
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:41,800
whenever I want to? 
Well, no, that's a blatant 

96
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,100
violation of consent. 
Well, what if Jack and Jill get 

97
00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:49,300
married and they Jack takes out 
an insurance policy for two 

98
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:52,100
million dollars, Jill goes, 
missing the next day. 

99
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,800
We see Jack carrying a heavy 
Persian rug out of his house at 

100
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,900
2:00 a.m. 
Well, and he refuses to come 

101
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:03,000
down to the courthouse. 
Well, maybe then I can initiate 

102
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,800
aggression and forcefully enter 
the house. 

103
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,700
Or if someone's choking. 
Can I put my body up against 

104
00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:13,300
theirs and thrust? 
Really hard to stop them from 

105
00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:15,700
choking. 
Is it ever okay to violate the 

106
00:06:15,700 --> 00:06:18,800
consent of a person, right? 
Well, I'm obviously in the first

107
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,100
example, that that person took 
out the insurance is has already

108
00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:24,600
committed the aggression, right?
So it was a, you know, the 

109
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,600
actions would be would be the 
would be an attempt to punish 

110
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,600
those. 
Those, those aggressions in the 

111
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,200
choking example, I think in 
those examples. 

112
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,400
It's pretty clear that the 
person who is saved or the 

113
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,300
person who has helped would turn
around and say, thank you. 

114
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:44,700
Yes, I I, you know, 
retroactively consented to your 

115
00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:50,400
action or by or even actually, 
even by the choking example. 

116
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:53,600
A lot of people will sign to 
themselves and point to 

117
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,300
themselves and and and somehow 
indicate that they need help. 

118
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,200
Obviously if they're 
unconscious, they can't. 

119
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:07,300
But I I think the, I didn't say 
early on, I didn't make it. 

120
00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:11,700
Clear early on in the book that 
the world is not perfect. 

121
00:07:12,100 --> 00:07:16,000
Human humans live in the meat 
space as they say, and it's very

122
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,100
squishy and and there are 
definitely exceptions and 

123
00:07:20,100 --> 00:07:28,100
situations where that would be a
controversial or or may appear 

124
00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:30,300
to poke holes in the floor. 
Safiye. 

125
00:07:30,700 --> 00:07:34,900
But and I do address that I do 
address that early on to make 

126
00:07:34,900 --> 00:07:39,800
sure that the folks know that 
the ideology is consistent. 

127
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:43,000
It just because if there are, 
there are little weird examples 

128
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,500
that might fall outside of, it 
doesn't mean that the entire 

129
00:07:45,700 --> 00:07:52,200
philosophy is, is, is damaged, 
and that is so important to get 

130
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,000
into. 
Because I mean, yes, literally 

131
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,700
anything can be justified in 
extreme examples, like anyone. 

132
00:07:59,900 --> 00:08:03,300
It was openly against slavery. 
Well, was it okay to enslave 

133
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:06,200
someone for three seconds to 
save the entire human race from 

134
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,300
cancer? 
AIDS covid. 

135
00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:10,600
And another speech from Bernie 
Sanders. 

136
00:08:10,700 --> 00:08:11,500
Yes. 
Absolutely. 

137
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,000
Those things are so terrible 
that if just some small 

138
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,400
microscopic thing can be have 
such a different challenge, 

139
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,300
different change to a human 
events. 

140
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:24,500
Well, in some cases it would be 
okay. 

141
00:08:24,700 --> 00:08:28,800
All of that is a clear 
distraction or stalling tactic 

142
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,400
use to get Away from the major 
examples. 

143
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:36,600
So my question to you is what 
are some major reasons we should

144
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,799
value consent and aren't we 
already doing that? 

145
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:45,200
Well, clearly, we're not, as I 
mentioned before, there's a 

146
00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:49,800
large number of Acts that are 
taken every single day that 

147
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,800
violate consent. 
My my argument in the book and 

148
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,200
the book is kind of laid out in 
three sections. 

149
00:08:58,100 --> 00:08:59,700
The first is kind of to 
describe. 

150
00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:02,300
The philosophy of from beginning
to end. 

151
00:09:02,300 --> 00:09:05,100
The second is to give some of 
these examples that we've been 

152
00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:07,900
talking about a little bit more 
real world examples. 

153
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,000
And then the third is to is to 
talk about what happens in a 

154
00:09:12,008 --> 00:09:15,500
world where sent is not being 
followed. 

155
00:09:15,900 --> 00:09:21,300
And one example, I talked about 
is it is with children. 

156
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:26,500
If or if I can consent for 
someone else, what would happen 

157
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,900
if if if you're not able All to 
withhold your consent. 

158
00:09:31,900 --> 00:09:35,800
What kinds of things that could 
happen in society? 

159
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,300
I could, I could take all of 
your property. 

160
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:42,900
I could enslave you. 
I can take your children. 

161
00:09:42,900 --> 00:09:47,800
I can, I mean if humans don't 
have the ability to withhold 

162
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:53,400
consent, I argue that society 
would not last. 

163
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,700
Actually. 
I don't think it would stay 

164
00:09:56,700 --> 00:09:58,900
cohesive and any sense for very 
long at all. 

165
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:06,800
So at the very end of the book, 
I talk about why, what kind of 

166
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,500
actions that are being that are 
that are violating consent and 

167
00:10:11,500 --> 00:10:15,900
how to recognize them. 
And what do we need to do to 

168
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:26,100
build a more consensual Society?
Sure as far as just getting any 

169
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:29,000
philosophy, consistently 
applied, if you say no, screw 

170
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,400
this. 
I don't care about consent or 

171
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,500
who has the right to own what 
that can't even be consistently 

172
00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:38,200
applied because if I have the 
right to steal your headphones, 

173
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:42,100
well that implies I have the 
right to own and possess them 

174
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:44,800
and then someone should steal 
them from me because theft is 

175
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,400
right, but they can't rightfully
take it and own it and exclude 

176
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,000
because theft is okay. 
And I can violate their consent,

177
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,500
the only consistent methodology 
to any philosophical discussion.

178
00:10:57,500 --> 00:10:59,700
Here would be something that 
talks about both. 

179
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,900
Consent and ownership. 
So I'm curious. 

180
00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:05,800
How do you determine who owns 
what? 

181
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,400
And who was the aggressor in any
given situation? 

182
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:11,500
Sure. 
The AI from the very beginning. 

183
00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:15,600
I start very, very basically, I 
mean I even start at, I think 

184
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:21,600
therefore I am I go right to the
root of humanity and talk about 

185
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:27,700
ownership and very clear about 
how a person because they own 

186
00:11:27,700 --> 00:11:30,900
themselves and I talked and I 
Make sure that I set that 

187
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:33,300
Baseline about why people on 
themselves. 

188
00:11:33,700 --> 00:11:39,800
I discussed the fact that when 
you own yourself, you own your 

189
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,300
time. 
So a lot of folks, I'm sure who 

190
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:45,300
are, you know, a lot of your 
viewers, a lot of your listeners

191
00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:51,300
or to know this but for those 
who are new to it you because 

192
00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:54,500
you own your life, you own your 
time. 

193
00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:57,100
That's something that because 
it's yours. 

194
00:11:57,100 --> 00:11:59,600
You may freely trade it for 
something else. 

195
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,500
And that something else that 
property is now as much a part 

196
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:07,400
of you as that time. 
Was that you traded for it? 

197
00:12:07,700 --> 00:12:12,400
Those two things are equivalent,
which is why if anyone steals 

198
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,600
something from you. 
If someone steals a car from 

199
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,300
you, they are essentially 
enslaving you for the time that 

200
00:12:18,300 --> 00:12:23,400
you spent to produce that the 
the resources to make that car. 

201
00:12:24,500 --> 00:12:28,700
So it's when you do when you 
look at it from that angle, it's

202
00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:32,000
very clear. 
We're about who owns what? 

203
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,900
It's the, it's who voluntarily 
and peacefully traded, what they

204
00:12:36,900 --> 00:12:40,200
own for something else in 
agreement to other people. 

205
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,700
I think that's that's yeah. 
Go ahead yet. 

206
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,000
Now, would you agree with me 
that voluntary consent? 

207
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,100
Can Trump labor value or labor 
effort? 

208
00:12:54,100 --> 00:13:00,900
For example, if I go to a place 
and I work for Ten hours a day, 

209
00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:05,700
five days a week for a year and 
I build a bunch of houses. 

210
00:13:05,900 --> 00:13:09,300
I don't own the houses, and I'm 
don't even have the right to be 

211
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:12,400
compensated. 
If I chose to sign up for a 

212
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,400
charity to help build houses for
people. 

213
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,800
So, in that sense, could I do a 
ton of Labor and rightly not be 

214
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,500
compensated? 
Because I voluntarily agreed. 

215
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,100
And therefore, again, we're back
at consent being the root of 

216
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:29,100
morality instead of time and 
effort, equaling my right to 

217
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:31,300
something. 
Oh, yeah, absolutely. 

218
00:13:31,300 --> 00:13:39,700
That's that makes perfect sense.
If if a person I think with 

219
00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:42,200
situations like that, you have 
to think about it from a little 

220
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,200
bit of higher level, right? 
So think about the person who 

221
00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:51,200
okay, so a worker volunteers his
or her time to build houses, the

222
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,200
person. 
Now the organization that 

223
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,800
they're being volunteered, their
volunteering to gets all of the 

224
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,600
labor builds the houses and 
either do It's them or sells 

225
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,200
them to another person. 
And then that other person now, 

226
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,700
is very grateful. 
They have the house. 

227
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:08,500
But if the labor walks in and 
says, hey, this is mine. 

228
00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:13,500
I built it. 
It's, you know, they're they're 

229
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,500
they're going against their, 
their original agreement. 

230
00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:19,300
Certainly, there's some ethical,
certainly, there's ethical 

231
00:14:19,300 --> 00:14:23,900
problems there and which I do 
separate out in the book, the 

232
00:14:23,900 --> 00:14:30,300
difference between ethics and 
morality, but you know, they The

233
00:14:30,300 --> 00:14:34,800
property exists that they gave 
their time freely voluntarily 

234
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:41,100
just as you would give money or 
any other property and the the 

235
00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:44,900
other person whose have received
it now, even though they 

236
00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:49,900
received a freely it's it is 
there as because that property 

237
00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:55,600
was and that time was given 
voluntarily at the time and it's

238
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,500
gone. 
That's once you once you give 

239
00:14:57,500 --> 00:15:03,900
something away and you agreed to
give Away, and then I suppose 

240
00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:08,300
you could get a situation where 
somebody decides does that. 

241
00:15:08,300 --> 00:15:11,400
If someone does that someone 
gives away property. 

242
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,700
It's now I want that back. 
They're not going to get a very 

243
00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:17,700
good reputation. 
So I think, even even in the 

244
00:15:17,700 --> 00:15:22,200
situation where, where you could
where someone could argue that 

245
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,600
they could, they could retrieve 
that property back. 

246
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:27,200
It's not going to come without 
consequences. 

247
00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:32,500
They're going to they're going 
To be seen as somebody who does 

248
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:34,200
that and the trust is going to 
be gone. 

249
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,500
So there's a there's a lot to 
there's a lot to that possible. 

250
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,400
Now one major thing is, you can 
always, you know, come up. 

251
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,100
It's always interesting to come 
up with examples. 

252
00:15:45,100 --> 00:15:49,100
Is it okay to steal, you know, 
one penny to save the entire 

253
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:51,200
planet from destruction. 
Yes. 

254
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,600
Well in some of these cases, 
aha, I've got you and sort of a 

255
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,900
bit of a conundrum there for the
existence of a state is 

256
00:15:58,900 --> 00:16:01,400
legitimate. 
That is the biggest non 

257
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,900
sequitur. 
You can imagine it's the 

258
00:16:02,900 --> 00:16:06,800
equivalent of saying, you know, 
there's a lot of ambiguity in 

259
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,700
our dealings there for Amazon 
has the right to coercively. 

260
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:13,700
Rule us make executive orders. 
We have to follow like no 

261
00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:17,300
because all of the shortcomings 
that we Face, apply tenfold to 

262
00:16:17,300 --> 00:16:20,400
this group of people called the 
state or any other group of 

263
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,900
people saying that consent and 
morality applies to them 

264
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:26,700
differently. 
You have a great question that 

265
00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:30,100
you posed to the reader. 
You say should the more reality 

266
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:33,500
of a particular action if that 
action is right or wrong, be 

267
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:35,800
judged using the same method for
everyone. 

268
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,300
Who does it regardless of their 
job or intent. 

269
00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:43,800
Why is that question important? 
It really does go right to the 

270
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,600
question about government. 
I mean, I do it kind of 

271
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,800
subversively because the, the, 
the target audience when I was 

272
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,200
first coming up with the idea of
this book, is that kind of young

273
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,200
person idealistic person, maybe 
who considers themselves? 

274
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:03,700
The left who really, you know, 
maybe grew up in the in the me 

275
00:17:03,700 --> 00:17:06,400
to movement as it was getting 
big. 

276
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,200
And really did fundamentally 
understand. 

277
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:14,400
That consent is primary. 
And I think a lot of people do 

278
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:19,099
not do believe, deep down. 
That consent is is key. 

279
00:17:19,099 --> 00:17:24,000
It's the thing that that's 
really the biggest thing to to, 

280
00:17:24,099 --> 00:17:28,000
to be cognizant of. 
So, starting from that. 

281
00:17:28,300 --> 00:17:31,900
I started putting those Those 
kinds of little less seeds in 

282
00:17:31,900 --> 00:17:36,000
the beginning of the book and 
that question in particular, was

283
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,100
to get to the point later on 
where. 

284
00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:42,900
Yes, just because somebody has, 
you know, a blue uniform and a 

285
00:17:42,908 --> 00:17:45,400
shiny badge. 
They're just a human being just 

286
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,700
like the rest of us and they 
don't have any special powers. 

287
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,300
They you can tie. 
You can go in this through this 

288
00:17:53,300 --> 00:17:56,600
in the book as you can't Grant 
powers that you don't first 

289
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:01,400
possess. 
So I make sure Were I started a 

290
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:06,600
very simply and so that it 
supports the argument that I 

291
00:18:06,608 --> 00:18:09,700
make later on? 
That's so important because 

292
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,800
people can just apply that 
consistently in any case, if 

293
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,600
people will often say well this 
is my job or even, you know, non

294
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,600
police officers, non members of 
the military will say, well 

295
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,700
that's just their job. 
And that's just what they're 

296
00:18:24,700 --> 00:18:29,300
doing as if getting paid like 
doing the thing is bad, but if 

297
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,700
Is paying you to do it now? 
It's okay. 

298
00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:36,700
It's I mean the example I use is
yes, I go around assaulting 

299
00:18:36,700 --> 00:18:40,800
women, but I only do it when 
their ex-boyfriends hire me to 

300
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,500
do it. 
And so I'm just doing my job and

301
00:18:43,500 --> 00:18:46,700
now it's totally different and 
morality doesn't count. 

302
00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:50,600
Of course, not. 
The other thing you said about 

303
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,700
the ability to transfer things. 
You don't have, this is vital 

304
00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:56,400
when it comes to consent. 
Because if you say, well, the 

305
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,100
people consent to something like
regulation or Station. 

306
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,900
Well, if the citizens, look, if 
I just don't have the right to 

307
00:19:03,900 --> 00:19:07,500
go around issuing taxes to 
people or going around 

308
00:19:07,500 --> 00:19:09,400
regulating people or 
conscripting them. 

309
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:15,200
How can I delegate that to a 
group of individuals who if I 

310
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,200
don't have X, how can I transfer
X to someone else? 

311
00:19:18,300 --> 00:19:21,600
And I can't take it back. 
Like, there's no method of me 

312
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,900
saying. 
I hereby a, you know, take back 

313
00:19:23,900 --> 00:19:28,500
my right. 
And I'm going to just, I'm going

314
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:31,400
to enforce this on. 
On my own terms, you guys tried 

315
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,600
swing and a miss. 
Thanks so much Congress. 

316
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,300
You guys did not do great on 
that. 

317
00:19:37,100 --> 00:19:41,800
You talk on page 29 about group.
You say groups do not act. 

318
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,600
What is the importance of 
understanding that groups? 

319
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,700
Do not act only individuals act.
That's actually one of the 

320
00:19:48,700 --> 00:19:51,700
biggest misconceptions that I 
found for people that are 

321
00:19:51,700 --> 00:19:55,100
outside our space that are that,
that aren't, you know, was a 

322
00:19:55,108 --> 00:20:00,900
collectivist mentality, is that 
He said, well, the people have 

323
00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:03,600
spoken or, you know, the voice 
of the people or something like 

324
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:08,800
that is, is the, is the idea 
that a group of people have some

325
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,400
sort of separate. 
Cognition. 

326
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:18,700
There's some sort of living 
entity or, or morality that 

327
00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:22,300
exist within that is separate 
and distinct from all the 

328
00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:27,900
individuals. 
And that's just, it's just when 

329
00:20:27,900 --> 00:20:31,500
we say that, A group Acts or the
people of spoken. 

330
00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:37,000
It really is just a shortcut. 
It's the, it's a, the example 

331
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,900
that I give. 
I don't know if they'll give 

332
00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:39,700
this in the book. 
I don't remember. 

333
00:20:39,700 --> 00:20:46,100
But a flock of birds, a flock of
birds does not chirp each bird 

334
00:20:46,100 --> 00:20:49,500
chirps because you can't. 
So you might say, oh, that flock

335
00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:53,100
of birds chirping but it isn't. 
It's the all the individual ones

336
00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:58,400
and taking action of themselves 
that that's making the sound and

337
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:03,200
it's the same thing with any 
Group of humans that if it 

338
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:06,300
actually this kind of dovetails 
into a little conversation, I 

339
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:12,900
have later on in the book. 
If you grant these kinds of 

340
00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:17,000
anthropomorphic ideas to groups,
if you give them it's like its 

341
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,100
own identity and the group can 
take actions. 

342
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,000
Then what it does is it absolves
any individual within that group

343
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,100
who may have committed a crime? 
If you're standing next to 

344
00:21:28,100 --> 00:21:31,200
somebody in a big crowd. 
And someone else throws a book. 

345
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,100
I mean, a brick through a 
window. 

346
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:38,100
Well, you didn't do that. 
And so or maybe the other person

347
00:21:38,100 --> 00:21:41,000
could say, well, it was just, we
were just the, the other group 

348
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,900
that did it. 
You can never identify the 

349
00:21:43,900 --> 00:21:47,300
individual. 
If the group is, is committing 

350
00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:51,900
an atrocity. 
That's very and important. 

351
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,300
What do you think about how you 
would tell someone that this 

352
00:21:55,300 --> 00:21:58,300
really matters to them? 
And their life, the idea that 

353
00:21:58,300 --> 00:22:01,200
consent is morality. 
And might say, well, yes, 

354
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,600
taxation is theft. 
The regular regulation is 

355
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,600
violent domination. 
The draft is slavery. 

356
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,900
And war is mass murder, but 
that's not going to change me 

357
00:22:08,900 --> 00:22:12,400
and how I act and how I operate.
So, it's something far-fetched 

358
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,800
and hard to really care about. 
Well, what would you say to that

359
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,900
mindset? 
Yeah, it's, I would approach it 

360
00:22:19,900 --> 00:22:22,800
by saying, think about ya. 
Think about your own life and 

361
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,200
think about, you know, somebody 
doing something to you. 

362
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,400
Think about someone just, you 
know, for a lady, taking your 

363
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,000
prayers for man, taking your 
wallet. 

364
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,300
Think about the situation where 
your consent is violated. 

365
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,300
It's it's well, I mean at the 
very basic level, it's not. 

366
00:22:44,300 --> 00:22:46,900
It's, you know, it's, it's not a
happy thought. 

367
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:54,600
And so knowing that that, that 
that damage, that your that's 

368
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,700
done to you. 
When your consent is violated, 

369
00:22:56,700 --> 00:23:03,700
is universal is the And which 
is, which is why I assert that 

370
00:23:03,900 --> 00:23:08,300
morality is subjective because 
it's based on consent, even 

371
00:23:08,300 --> 00:23:10,700
though each of us consent to 
different things. 

372
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,900
We all either consent or 
withhold, our consent to Every 

373
00:23:15,900 --> 00:23:21,500
Act was taken against us. 
And so that that fact that 

374
00:23:21,500 --> 00:23:26,300
everyone can sense is universal,
which means that it is objective

375
00:23:26,300 --> 00:23:31,300
human. 
It's an objective piece of 

376
00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:35,900
humanity. 
So for the person who's putting 

377
00:23:35,900 --> 00:23:38,500
it off to the outside, I would 
just I just think about it, be 

378
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:41,400
able to more empathetic right, 
think about it, how you would 

379
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:46,900
feel and at that kind of that 
kind of thing is we and we 

380
00:23:46,900 --> 00:23:48,600
talked about it in foreign 
policy. 

381
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,100
I think they think about what 
Americans would feel if someone 

382
00:23:52,100 --> 00:23:56,200
else is doing it to us, that 
kind of reversal, I think is 

383
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,600
really instructive. 
Yeah, it's sad that you know, 

384
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,100
like a thing that you should 
kind of learn in kindergarten to

385
00:24:03,100 --> 00:24:06,100
explain. 
Well, you shouldn't hit this kid

386
00:24:06,100 --> 00:24:08,300
because you wouldn't want to be 
hit, right? 

387
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,400
It's amazing how we lose that 
obvious, that obvious empathetic

388
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,200
tool. 
I mean, I just had it the other 

389
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,300
day. 
Now we're someone's like, well 

390
00:24:17,500 --> 00:24:21,400
regulation is there for us to 
flourish. 

391
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,300
It's there to, you know, protect
us and set parameters, so we can

392
00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:28,700
flourish and I said, alright, so
from here on on out before you 

393
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,600
post anything on the internet, 
just send it to me. 

394
00:24:31,900 --> 00:24:34,600
I'll tell you whether or not I 
approve or disapprove. 

395
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,900
It just to make sure that you 
can have a space to flourish and

396
00:24:37,900 --> 00:24:39,300
he blocked me. 
Now. 

397
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,600
The point is is not to change. 
This person's mind. 

398
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,500
It's did you know show everyone 
else? 

399
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:50,800
And it is it almost benefits you
to see how people respond to 

400
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,700
different ways of communicating 
something and just to plant 

401
00:24:54,700 --> 00:24:56,800
seeds in the minds of everyone 
else. 

402
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,400
I am so glad That someone sort 
of, you know, ask me these 

403
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,100
questions and made me think 
about these sort of ideas. 

404
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,900
I think the main reason or the 
main way that looking into, you 

405
00:25:07,900 --> 00:25:11,400
know, consent morality self 
ownership has changed me, is if 

406
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,200
you really understand people on 
themselves and people own their 

407
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,700
own time, you realize that 
you're not automatically 

408
00:25:17,700 --> 00:25:20,300
entitled to other people's time 
or property. 

409
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,900
So anytime you want to spend one
second with someone or years 

410
00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:28,200
with someone, you have to say. 
All right. 

411
00:25:28,500 --> 00:25:30,300
They don't owe me. 
Any of their time. 

412
00:25:30,300 --> 00:25:31,900
I need to create something of 
value. 

413
00:25:31,900 --> 00:25:35,500
I want to be someone fun to be 
around and you know, what, if 

414
00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:38,600
they don't like me, maybe I'll 
change a little. 

415
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,800
Maybe I'll change a lot 
depending on whatever reason I 

416
00:25:41,808 --> 00:25:45,100
have 2 or motivation that I 
have. 

417
00:25:45,100 --> 00:25:50,400
But when you recognize that 
other people don't own you and 

418
00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:53,800
you don't own them inversely. 
It totally changes. 

419
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:59,500
The dynamic at least for me the 
dynamic of Ships and the and how

420
00:25:59,500 --> 00:26:02,700
you, you know, create value for 
other people. 

421
00:26:02,700 --> 00:26:06,600
Do you see actual relationships 
changing once the people 

422
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,200
embrace, the philosophy of 
self-ownership and volunteerism.

423
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,700
I think there's I think there's 
a lot to that thinking about, 

424
00:26:12,700 --> 00:26:15,200
even from a basic business 
standpoint. 

425
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,700
I know that people are not 
required to buy the book, for 

426
00:26:18,700 --> 00:26:24,000
example, I am so grateful that 
people are voluntarily giving of

427
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,500
their of their self of the time 
and energy that They used to 

428
00:26:28,508 --> 00:26:32,200
make to make money to hand, it 
to me for four, essentially. 

429
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,300
You're just ideas that I put 
down on paper. 

430
00:26:34,300 --> 00:26:39,100
I am so grateful and so 
appreciative and so knowing that

431
00:26:39,100 --> 00:26:43,800
that that they are doing it 
voluntarily, it makes it makes 

432
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,200
it all the difference. 
I mean, I had a conversation 

433
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,200
with my daughter when she was 
very young. 

434
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,600
We used to use the little stars 
to when they do good, you get a 

435
00:26:51,608 --> 00:26:55,900
star and when you earn enough 
Stars you get you get a reward 

436
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,700
and we had a conversation. 
Because if your brother didn't 

437
00:26:59,700 --> 00:27:03,300
get enough Stars, would it be 
okay for you to give him your 

438
00:27:03,300 --> 00:27:05,000
Stewart? 
Your stars so that he could get 

439
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,000
a reward and she's like, yeah, 
but what if I made you give him 

440
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,400
your stars and and you could 
almost see that that look on her

441
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:14,900
face and she didn't really 
understand. 

442
00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:16,500
It was just you know, like a 
six-year-old. 

443
00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:20,900
But but if there's something 
viscerally wrong with that and 

444
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:26,300
being able to, to give, you 
know, they know that whole that 

445
00:27:26,300 --> 00:27:30,900
nonsensical sharing. 
Is carrying ideology, you know, 

446
00:27:30,900 --> 00:27:34,200
that that leads into the that 
socialism kind of ideals. 

447
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:41,500
If you don't have the ability to
voluntarily give or to 

448
00:27:41,500 --> 00:27:48,000
voluntarily work together, then 
there's no, there's no value in 

449
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,000
in doing something if you're 
forced to it. 

450
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,600
So it absolutely makes all the 
difference when it comes to 

451
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,400
interpersonal and comes to 
business. 

452
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,300
Everything. 
And you can just look at how you

453
00:28:00,300 --> 00:28:03,700
feel, how different you feel 
when you've either volunteer at 

454
00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:07,400
a charity or you've given to 
charity and then you have given 

455
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:12,400
money to the IRS given Loosely. 
It's like, oh my God, more 

456
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,300
genocide and Yemen versus. 
Oh gosh, seeing that woman, 

457
00:28:15,300 --> 00:28:19,900
smile was worth everything and 
then there's the secondary 

458
00:28:19,900 --> 00:28:22,000
effects of. 
If people automatically get 

459
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,500
money, there's less of an 
incentive to use it efficiently,

460
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,400
so they have to create value. 
Maybe there will be corrupt. 

461
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,000
Ian, that's why we need a free 
market in charity. 

462
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,700
Be so we could opt out of 
funding the corrupt with the 

463
00:28:32,700 --> 00:28:35,300
state, you just fun corrupt and 
there's nothing you could do 

464
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,500
besides protest and then them 
lie to you about the audit that 

465
00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:42,700
they did. 
So there's so many different 

466
00:28:42,700 --> 00:28:44,700
Dynamics where we going to say. 
No. 

467
00:28:44,700 --> 00:28:47,200
No. 
No, that's yeah. 

468
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,300
Yeah, you can you can go down a 
lot. 

469
00:28:49,300 --> 00:28:51,300
There's lots of rabbit holes 
that you could go down for 

470
00:28:51,300 --> 00:28:57,000
short. 
Now, a major obstacle in this is

471
00:28:57,900 --> 00:28:59,600
You can make a lot of great 
points. 

472
00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:01,500
But if someone's mind is open 
this much. 

473
00:29:01,500 --> 00:29:03,800
It's hard to get through. 
So how do you first open 

474
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:08,100
people's minds to First? 
Accept the idea that consent is 

475
00:29:08,100 --> 00:29:12,700
the root of morality. 
Well, well, first, I do, I do 

476
00:29:12,700 --> 00:29:16,400
ask the person in the book. 
Do you believe, what do you 

477
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,100
think about consent? 
And we consent is primary. 

478
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,800
Are you the kind of person who, 
who does genuinely value 

479
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,300
consent? 
Because I think most people do, 

480
00:29:25,300 --> 00:29:27,400
as a matter of fact, I did some 
speaking. 

481
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,900
At a local public, high school, 
and the one. 

482
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,200
And B. 
Even though I'm quite a very, 

483
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:39,700
very upfront about a, my 
anarchism position, the people 

484
00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:41,600
who are there, there's a public 
school. 

485
00:29:42,700 --> 00:29:46,400
They asked me back multiple 
times because they know that my 

486
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,700
philosophy is based on peace and
and consent. 

487
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,900
And that really resonates. 
I think with, especially like 

488
00:29:55,100 --> 00:30:00,200
high school kids and young 
adults, who Who understand the 

489
00:30:00,300 --> 00:30:05,200
absolute criticality of 
respecting consent choices? 

490
00:30:05,700 --> 00:30:09,300
And so, that's where I start. 
Okay, if you're with me, if you 

491
00:30:09,300 --> 00:30:13,300
already see the value and the 
requirement to respect consent 

492
00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:16,800
choices, let's follow that path 
down. 

493
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,500
So that's what I've always felt 
as the is the key, as the kind 

494
00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:24,300
of the pry bar in. 
Yeah. 

495
00:30:25,100 --> 00:30:29,200
People will sort of sometimes 
scoff at At trying to get to the

496
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,200
front, the fundamental rights 
and philosophical aspects of 

497
00:30:32,208 --> 00:30:33,800
something. 
They're like, well, I care about

498
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:39,200
the consequences in the real 
world real-world outcomes of 

499
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,100
certain policies, not this whole
rights and all this, you know, 

500
00:30:42,100 --> 00:30:45,700
made up stuff in your head to, 
which I say, first of all, they 

501
00:30:45,700 --> 00:30:47,400
never even do that with 
themselves. 

502
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,100
Historically there like slavery,
objectively wrong. 

503
00:30:50,100 --> 00:30:53,000
Genocide objectively wrong. 
This person was bad. 

504
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,700
This person was on the right 
side of history, but when it 

505
00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:59,900
comes to today, the way, Analyze
policies is, well. 

506
00:30:59,900 --> 00:31:03,200
What will it do for the unions 
and how will this affect GDP? 

507
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,600
First of all, you have no clue 
because you're lied to by 

508
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,400
Keynesian economists all day. 
Second of all, why is that 

509
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,100
relevant? 
I mean, like, if I made a great,

510
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,800
there's so many people whose GDP
and productivity would increase,

511
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,100
if they were enslaved. 
What does that tell you about 

512
00:31:20,100 --> 00:31:23,400
the morality of slavery? 
It just tells you, you can 

513
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,300
increase productivity without it
being moral, and it's still 

514
00:31:26,300 --> 00:31:29,300
being unjustified. 
Well, there's people, we could, 

515
00:31:29,700 --> 00:31:32,500
you know, steal from and kidnap 
and that would, you know, 

516
00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:36,800
stimulate economic yada yada 
yada, long story short, they 

517
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,400
apply morality historically, but
to the present, they can't 

518
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,800
analyze anything because of 
Rachel, Maddow feeding them 

519
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,700
nonsense all day. 
Along with, uh, with Sean 

520
00:31:47,700 --> 00:31:49,800
Hannity you. 
It's like you will you get it 

521
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,400
from both sides. 
So do you have any go to 

522
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,400
questions to sort of plant seeds
in them in their mind, so maybe 

523
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,600
Go II. 
Can't let this guy know that 

524
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,300
he's outsmarted me. 
But at the same time you want to

525
00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:06,100
give him something to think 
about later. 

526
00:32:06,300 --> 00:32:11,600
Any ideas on that. 
Yeah, it's I really I think 

527
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,100
we'll my Approach was just, you 
know, how much do you? 

528
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:21,100
How much do you really believe 
that that's consent is primary 

529
00:32:21,100 --> 00:32:23,200
how you know, I'm asking the 
reader. 

530
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,400
This is how, how much, if if I 
am. 

531
00:32:27,500 --> 00:32:30,400
If I explain this other problem,
like, let's say stealing from a,

532
00:32:30,500 --> 00:32:32,600
I think the exactly one of the 
examples is, you know, should we

533
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,200
steal from a billionaire to save
the life of a homeless person? 

534
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,000
And that's not a ridiculous 
question, right? 

535
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:43,200
That's a daily question that 
people that people ask and if 

536
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:48,800
your answer is, yes, you know, 
okay, but are you really do you 

537
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,000
then to, how much do you really 
care about consent? 

538
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,400
Yeah, and then I, you can go 
into the argument was well, did 

539
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,400
the billionaire actually get 
their? 

540
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,200
Legitimately and how would you 
develop, you know, distribute 

541
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,900
that equitably? 
I do. 

542
00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:09,500
Go into that a little bit, but 
the bottom line is, how much do 

543
00:33:09,500 --> 00:33:13,800
you care about respecting 
consent, violations? 

544
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:17,900
I really try to hit them in the 
fields as much as possible, 

545
00:33:17,900 --> 00:33:21,900
because that's, I think and, you
know, we've a lot of folks in 

546
00:33:21,908 --> 00:33:27,500
our space talk about approach to
talk about strategy and The 

547
00:33:27,508 --> 00:33:30,200
strategies that we've been 
taking just have not have not 

548
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,400
been as successful. 
I think as a lot of us would 

549
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,700
have wanted the fact of the 
matter is, people live on their 

550
00:33:37,700 --> 00:33:42,800
fields, they live on their 
emotion and so by tapping into 

551
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,200
that a little bit and saying, 
okay. 

552
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,800
Do you really are you okay with 
violating someone's consent to 

553
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,200
achieve your own personal 
interest in the world. 

554
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,800
Well if least if someone says 
yes, and I know they're being 

555
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,800
honest, but they need to At 
least understand that, that is 

556
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,000
what they're doing. 
Yeah. 

557
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,900
One they have to understand 
that's what they're doing. 

558
00:34:03,900 --> 00:34:06,400
Because if they're going off 
Fields, well, maybe you want to 

559
00:34:06,408 --> 00:34:08,900
make them feel a little bad 
about what they're doing and 

560
00:34:08,900 --> 00:34:10,400
then second of all you go. 
Wow. 

561
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:14,600
Okay, so it's okay for people to
violate your consent and then 

562
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,199
you just get back into the 
conundrum of earlier of no one 

563
00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:20,600
owns anything even themselves. 
If you have the right to steal 

564
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,699
and enslave of virtually 
everyone. 

565
00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:30,199
You also have a pretty cool 
little map that is built within 

566
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:34,900
the structure of the book. 
A way for people to actually get

567
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,500
cryptocurrency just by reading 
the book. 

568
00:34:39,900 --> 00:34:44,100
How can people get Bitcoin just 
by reading the book? 

569
00:34:44,100 --> 00:34:46,100
Okay. 
So this was kind of an idea to 

570
00:34:46,100 --> 00:34:50,699
because one of the things I 
oppose intellectual property, as

571
00:34:50,699 --> 00:34:53,000
far as I'm concerned, that the 
ideas in the book, should be 

572
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:56,100
should be free. 
However, I wanted to reason for 

573
00:34:56,100 --> 00:35:01,500
folks to actually buy the print 
copy of the book and so, I had 

574
00:35:01,500 --> 00:35:05,000
heard on another show, the idea 
of, with, with Bitcoin. 

575
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:10,100
You could hide a Bitcoin key in 
a book and walk it across a 

576
00:35:10,100 --> 00:35:11,900
border and bring your Bitcoin 
with you. 

577
00:35:11,900 --> 00:35:14,200
And so, as it will 109 do that 
with this book. 

578
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:19,600
So there's a pattern of words in
the book itself and those 

579
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,700
patterns that those particular 
words, when entered, I believe, 

580
00:35:23,700 --> 00:35:26,200
it's a bit addressed a torque. 
I've got all the instructions 

581
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:30,000
online and I'll like it can 
explain how to get there if you,

582
00:35:30,500 --> 00:35:33,400
if you put Certain pattern of 
words together in the right 

583
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:38,400
order and enter that into a key 
generator on bit addressed out 

584
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,500
org, it'll spit out a Kia, 
public, and private key 

585
00:35:41,500 --> 00:35:44,600
combination. 
And if you enter the right 

586
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,500
words, you'll get the Bitcoin 
wallet that I've pre-loaded now 

587
00:35:48,500 --> 00:35:52,200
right now, it only has .01 
Bitcoin. 

588
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,600
But as we record this, that's 
what about 300 bucks. 

589
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,000
I think $330 in that range, 
which isn't zero. 

590
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,600
It's something and I'm Going to 
be adding for every print copy 

591
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:08,200
that is sold on my website 
consensus morality.com., I'll 

592
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,500
kick in another dollar, so it 
will grow until someone finds 

593
00:36:11,500 --> 00:36:14,100
it. 
So best place to buy. 

594
00:36:14,100 --> 00:36:18,300
The book is, where is consent is
morality.com. 

595
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,100
I know I was able to grab the, 
the URL for the name of the 

596
00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:22,000
book. 
So I thought that was pretty 

597
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,400
good. 
Excellent. 

598
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,800
Yes, and of course, you'll see 
that link in the description. 

599
00:36:27,100 --> 00:36:31,200
Sean any primary aspects to 
consent? 

600
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,500
Or morality, the philosophy of 
peace that I missed, or you 

601
00:36:35,500 --> 00:36:37,400
would like to reiterate for the 
listeners. 

602
00:36:38,100 --> 00:36:41,400
There is a before I get too far 
off the Bitcoin thing. 

603
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:45,900
I want to give out a little hint
to the pattern because if you 

604
00:36:45,900 --> 00:36:48,600
didn't have a hints to the 
pattern, you'd never find her. 

605
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,900
So as a thank you to you and to 
your listeners. 

606
00:36:52,900 --> 00:36:55,700
I'm going to give away one of 
the hands on all the hints have 

607
00:36:55,700 --> 00:36:59,500
four. 
I'm sorry three words and the 

608
00:36:59,500 --> 00:37:04,400
hint for your audience is 
Concatenated in order, 

609
00:37:05,100 --> 00:37:08,800
concatenated, in order. 
Now, that hint doesn't make any 

610
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,400
sense to you guys. 
So what I owe you will need to 

611
00:37:11,408 --> 00:37:14,600
do is you'll need to go to 
consent as morality.com. 

612
00:37:15,100 --> 00:37:18,600
And there will be a link to get 
all of the rules and information

613
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,900
on how to grab that Bitcoin and 
links to where the other hints 

614
00:37:22,900 --> 00:37:26,000
are. 
But yeah, as far as the book is 

615
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,600
concerned, it's a, it's a short 
book. 

616
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,900
It's all about 125, huh? 
Three pages in that range. 

617
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,400
I wrote it for the I wrote it 
for the non libertarian for the 

618
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,600
non Anarchist. 
So I think it's something you 

619
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:45,300
