1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,000
The vision of the anointed is 
one in which ills as poverty, 

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,700
irresponsible sex and crime, 
derived, primarily from society,

3
00:00:08,900 --> 00:00:13,100
rather than, from Individual 
choices and behavior to believe 

4
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:16,800
in personal responsibility, 
would be to destroy the whole 

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:22,000
special role of the anointed 
whose Vision casts them in the 

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,500
role of Rescuers of people 
treated, unfairly by Society. 

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,600
Welcome to Keith's. 
My don't try it on anyone in the

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,600
Aryan Institute. 
Here is a brief summary of the 

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,000
book. 
The Vision of the anointed 

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,800
self-congratulation as a basis 
for social policy by Thomas 

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,100
Soul. 
Now everyone knows someone who 

12
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:47,100
is a little bossy or a little 
controlling but some people want

13
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:50,900
to be so controlling and have so
much influence over the lives of

14
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:54,500
so many people that they occupy 
positions of government where 

15
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:58,500
you don't have the recognized 
right to opt out of its laws or 

16
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:01,300
chipping in to it. 
Certain Endeavors. 

17
00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:05,500
He says, in order to get people 
to justify things that the 

18
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:07,500
anointed already want them to 
believe in. 

19
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,500
They have this very recognizable
pattern of how they explain 

20
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:15,400
problems in the world. 
So why should you give some 

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,300
people so much power? 
Well because there's all of 

22
00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:21,200
these problems he says here are 
four things you need to watch 

23
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,600
out for one assertions of a 
great danger to the whole 

24
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:29,800
society, a danger to which the 
masses of people are oblivious. 

25
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:34,300
Yes, Step 2 an urgent need for 
Action to avert impending 

26
00:01:34,300 --> 00:01:39,100
catastrophe, step 3, a need for 
government to drastically 

27
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:43,400
curtail, the dangerous behavior 
of the many in response to the 

28
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,100
Prussian, conclusions of the 
few. 

29
00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:50,400
Finally, for a disdainful 
dismissal of arguments to the 

30
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,500
contrary as either uninformed 
irresponsible or motivated. 

31
00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:59,100
By unworthy purposes. 
Thomas Soul goes on to expand on

32
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,200
those four. 
Breaking them into Stage, has a 

33
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,700
very distinct pattern has 
emerged repeatedly when policies

34
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:08,600
favored by the anointed, turn 
out to fail. 

35
00:02:08,900 --> 00:02:12,800
The pattern typically has four 
stages stage one, the crisis, 

36
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,500
some situation exists, those 
negative aspects. 

37
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:20,000
The anointed proposed to 
eliminate such a situation is 

38
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,700
routinely characterized as a 
crisis, even though all human 

39
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:27,200
situations have negative aspects
and even though evidence is 

40
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,800
seldom asked or given to show 
how the situation at hand is 

41
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,700
either uniquely bad or 
threatening to get worse. 

42
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:38,200
Sometimes the situation 
described as a crisis has in 

43
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:43,000
fact already been getting better
for years stage to the solution 

44
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:44,200
policies. 
To end. 

45
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,200
The crisis are advocated by the 
anointed who say that these 

46
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,000
policies will lead to beneficial
result. 

47
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,400
A critics say that these 
policies will lead to 

48
00:02:54,500 --> 00:02:56,400
detrimental. 
Result Z. 

49
00:02:56,700 --> 00:03:00,900
The anointed dismissed, these 
latter claims as Surd and 

50
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:05,300
simplistic, if not dishonest 
stage 3, the results. 

51
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:10,400
The policies are instituted and 
lead to detrimental result Z 

52
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:14,900
stage for the response. 
Those who would tribute 

53
00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:19,000
detrimental result Z to the 
policies instituted or dismissed

54
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,500
as simplistic for ignoring the 
complexities involved. 

55
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,400
As many factors went into 
determining the outcome. 

56
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,000
The burden of proof is put on 
the Takes to demonstrate to a 

57
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,800
certainty that these policies 
alone were the only possible 

58
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,400
cause of the worsening that 
occurred. 

59
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:41,100
No burden of proof. 
Whatever is put on those who had

60
00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:43,200
so confidently predicted 
Improvement. 

61
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:46,500
Indeed. 
It is often asserted that things

62
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:49,800
would have been even worse. 
Were it not for the wonderful 

63
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,300
programs that mitigated the 
inevitable damage from other 

64
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:57,300
factors. 
So what the anointed tend to do 

65
00:03:57,300 --> 00:04:01,000
was put themself in a situation 
where Our position is 

66
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,800
unfalsifiable. 
Everything falls into two 

67
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,200
categories, either, it works and
they were right, or they 

68
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,700
underestimated how, right? 
They were, and they need more 

69
00:04:10,700 --> 00:04:12,900
funding. 
So it either works or needs more

70
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:15,700
funding and no situation. 
Could they be wrong? 

71
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,700
The examples. 
He uses the war on poverty, sex 

72
00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:23,100
education, criminal justice in 
all of these cases. 

73
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,500
These were programs that the 
government sold to us as if we 

74
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:30,900
engage in a war on poverty. 
Poverty will decrease didn't 

75
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:33,800
happen as a result. 
If we have sex education, 

76
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:36,500
teenage pregnancy will go down. 
That didn't happen. 

77
00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:40,200
If we engage in these criminal 
justice, reforms there won't be 

78
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,300
any crime or crime will 
drastically. 

79
00:04:42,300 --> 00:04:46,300
Decrease didn't happen in all of
the empirical examples of you. 

80
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,200
He has a great quote says have. 
We reached the ultimate stage of

81
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,900
absurdity or some people are 
held responsible for things that

82
00:04:53,900 --> 00:04:57,200
happen before they were born. 
While other people are not held 

83
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,100
responsible for what they 
themselves are doing today. 

84
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,100
I was thinking about, if I could
add to this list of what falls 

85
00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:09,000
under the category of Crisis 
solution, results response, and 

86
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,800
it turns out almost everything 
today is sold to us as a 

87
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,800
terrible crisis. 
That only a really really big 

88
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,800
government could possibly solve 
Also, things that fall under 

89
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,700
this category are racism. 
Sexism global warming, climate 

90
00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:25,600
change, inequality deregulation,
overpopulation pollution, the 

91
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,300
ozone layer. 
Melting covid-19 the Delta 

92
00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:31,600
variant repeal of Roe v-- Wade, 
abortion access ignorance, 

93
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,900
funding to State education, 
homelessness Healthcare, 

94
00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:38,400
crumbling infrastructure, Donald
Trump brexit and the repeal of 

95
00:05:38,407 --> 00:05:42,100
net neutrality. 
What are the chances that the 

96
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:46,400
solution to all of these alleged
crisis is having a bigger. 

97
00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:49,100
Government that in America 
already gets five trillion 

98
00:05:49,100 --> 00:05:54,700
dollars every single year in 
alternative hypothesis is, could

99
00:05:54,700 --> 00:05:58,600
it be that the group government 
that monopolizes compulsory 

100
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:04,000
education has made the masses 
believe that all ills of society

101
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:08,500
are the result of the 
all-omniscient state, not having

102
00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:10,500
enough power. 
Finally. 

103
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:14,100
I will end with my favorite 
Thomas Soul quote, the very same

104
00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:16,300
people who say that government 
has no, right? 

105
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,400
Right to interfere with sexual 
activity between consenting 

106
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,800
adults. 
Believe that the government has 

107
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,400
every right to interfere with 
economic activity between 

108
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,900
consenting adults. 
Thank you for watching Keith
