1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,240
It's not that you just want to 
kill yourself, it's that you 

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,720
have a problem. 
Your life is horrifying because 

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,840
you're isolated. 
But in order to break that 

4
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,520
isolation, it brings up death 
threats in your mind. 

5
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:15,040
And so I think that's a lot of 
the torture that people are 

6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:16,680
going through. 
And again, I don't want to over 

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,560
caveat this, but this is just my
opinion. 

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,880
I've certainly had some 
conversations along these lines 

9
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:23,640
and that would be my first port 
of call if I was talking to 

10
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,680
someone about this just sort of 
in my personal life. 

11
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:28,720
But that would be my first 
approach, if that makes sense. 

12
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,200
Yes, Sir. 
So I would like to give Mr. 

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:38,480
Molyneux a break and just share 
some thoughts on Kamala Harris 

14
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:43,240
Finally extended the web page 
that she has and now actually 

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,960
lists the issues that she would 
like to talk about. 

16
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,080
Now, I'm not going to get into 
the specifics, but here are the 

17
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,360
major takeaways to save the 
audience some time. 

18
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,280
Voluntary contracts are 
exploitative, but the state 

19
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,800
imposing unilateral obligations 
on millions of people by legal 

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,160
Fiat is a totally valid social 
contract force. 

21
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,680
Cotton picking is inherently 
immoral, but forced military 

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,400
conscription for Vladimir 
Zelensky is totally good. 

23
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,080
We want to empower the working 
class, but school choice should 

24
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,000
be illegal. 
You might owe reparations for 

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,520
something you never engaged in, 
but violent criminals today are 

26
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,320
really just victims of past 
injustice. 

27
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,360
Riots are the voice of the 
unheard, but January 6th was the

28
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,600
worst thing since the 30 years 
War. 

29
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,720
So when you are faced with all 
of these contradictions, the 

30
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,400
best thing that I think people 
could do is check out two 

31
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,040
websites. 
One is Libertarian 

32
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,480
institute.org, 2 is free 
domain.com. 

33
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,000
I want to give 10 lessons I have
learned from freedomain.com 

34
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,920
along with these books on truth,
the tyranny of illusion, 

35
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,160
everyday anarchy, and practical 
anarchy. 

36
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,120
So lesson #1 the importance of 
free association, 

37
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,320
disassociation, and having your 
own standards. 

38
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,080
This applies to friends, family,
commercial interactions, and 

39
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,200
politics. 
Free domain really gave me the 

40
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,880
confidence to not have double 
standards, whether it's for my 

41
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,240
neighbor or for someone like 
Lindsey Graham #2 taking the 

42
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:26,000
implications of arguments. 
I had this pink haired Bolshevik

43
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,480
the other day tell me you 
shouldn't tell people what to do

44
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,800
and I had to just pause and 
laugh asking her did you just 

45
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,880
tell me not to do something in 
the form of telling me to tell 

46
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,040
other people not what to do and 
what not to do? 

47
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,640
Having this confidence really 
allowed me to discuss political 

48
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:52,360
issues without a heightened 
sense of insecurity #3 start 

49
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:57,680
small with what you can control.
One of my favorite Molyneux or 

50
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,720
ants ever was he goes if you 
can't lift a cup of coffee, 

51
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,960
please don't pretend to tell me 
that you can lift a building. 

52
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,840
So starting with something small
that which is in your control is

53
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,560
really important. 
The other really good one he had

54
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,640
was it before you try and change
the world and or change the 

55
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:21,880
political system and turn it 
against its own interests, could

56
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,000
you take a Jane Austen book club
and turn that book club against 

57
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,600
Jane Austen? 
Start small, start local. 

58
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,000
The next one use precise 
language. 

59
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,200
Nikki Haley said the other day, 
I don't agree with the president

60
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,320
on everything. 
Well, of course no one agrees 

61
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,400
with everyone on everything. 
This was something Mr. Molyneux 

62
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,840
would constantly point out to 
us. 

63
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,000
And once you see the imprecise 
language that morons use to 

64
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,160
arouse the passions of the 
feeble minded and keep them 

65
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,160
asleep, now it's just 
everywhere. 

66
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,120
Next one holding people 
accountable to their face. 

67
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,920
There was a guy, well remotely 
but in a conversation the 

68
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,960
gentleman was asked by Mr. 
Molyneux, So what at this point 

69
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,440
what would it take for you to 
break up with your girlfriend? 

70
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,960
He goes, well, if if she ever 
really violated my trust to 

71
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,120
which step on said, well, she 
cheated on you and gave you an 

72
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,800
STD, so are you going to break 
up with her or just move the 

73
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,840
goal post? 
And it was like, oh, I never 

74
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:26,240
thought of someone actually, you
know, holding someone 

75
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,840
accountable like that. 
This is something I'd only say a

76
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:32,400
day later to someone else in the
confidence of my own home. 

77
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,360
That is really important. 
Next, the importance of 

78
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,480
analogies, isolating variables, 
allowing people to extract a 

79
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,360
principle under circumstances 
which they don't have emotional 

80
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,400
connections to. 
This is why I use the example of

81
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,640
the Catholic Church doing 
everything the state does in my 

82
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,720
book, domestic imperialism. 
Very important next to the 

83
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,520
importance of social ostracism 
and public declarations of 

84
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,640
disapproval. 
It was just amazing hearing 

85
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,680
adults that I know say things 
like, well, you can't say X. 

86
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,760
When you say you can't do you 
mean the words don't actually 

87
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,720
exit your mouth? 
And they're like, well, you'll 

88
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,760
get a lot of eye rolls and and 
people might raise their voice. 

89
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,760
And so that's what I mean by 
can't. 

90
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,240
So they put this on the same 
level as like, you can't flap 

91
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,040
your arms and fly and you can't 
address issues like, Hey, you 

92
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,480
shouldn't hit your kids to one 
of your friends who is an 

93
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,960
abusive parent. 
Next, the against me argument. 

94
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:38,280
Raising the emotional 
opportunity cost of holding an 

95
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:41,600
immoral belief decreases the 
person's confidence in it. 

96
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,160
Thus they're less likely to 
passionately spread it, 

97
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,960
decreasing its power of social 
proof. 

98
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,280
This against me argument is very
important. 

99
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:52,280
It gets people out of the realm 
of hypothetically. 

100
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,040
Theoretically, I think things 
like taxation and conscription 

101
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,960
are OK. 
Asking people, you want me to be

102
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:03,400
enslaved? 
Forced labor to go to Ukraine to

103
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,120
keep Zelensky on the throne. 
That's what you think should 

104
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,520
happen, and I should be caged 
for not doing this. 

105
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,120
If I like Yanukovych more, 
that's what should happen to me.

106
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,840
You're advocating that very 
powerful stuff. 

107
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,040
Next, selective anger as a 
litmus test. 

108
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,120
Growing up, I thought there were
two types of people, people who 

109
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:26,240
got angry and people who didn't.
Free domain.com really taught me

110
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,200
that there was actually a 
standard that you should have 

111
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,000
for things that should make you 
angry and things that you should

112
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,560
first talk through or just 
constantly remain common. 

113
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,960
So the ability to properly 
discriminate a good time for 

114
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,840
when anger should be used 
because if you use it all the 

115
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:48,320
time, it's like inflation. 
If you print a ton of it, then 

116
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,760
it's worthless. 
If you're always angry, then you

117
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,160
never know what's really 
important. 

118
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,160
Finally, this. 
I had to choose one of my 

119
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,040
favorite quotes. 
This one might be the best. 

120
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,120
Death is coming either way. 
Living small ain't going to save

121
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,320
you from death. 
It just makes every day a little

122
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,560
more like dying. 
That is a number of lessons I've

123
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,000
learned as a student of Mr. 
Molyneux for these years. 

124
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,000
Been waiting maybe six years or 
so to tell him that.
