Transcript
00:00Hello, hello everybody, Stephen Molyneux from Free Domain, hope you're doing well.
00:05Bunch of questions, good stuff, thank you so much to Facebook and freedomain.locals.com.
00:10Wonderful, wonderful, alright.
00:12Does my crush love me? I really need to know.
00:14Okay, I get that's a joke question, but the reality is you and I and everyone under sun and moon
00:21can only and forever and ever, amen, ever be loved for our virtues.
00:26If you are virtuous, if you have moral courage, if you speak the truth,
00:29if you're honest, if you're warm-hearted, if you have integrity and so on,
00:33and your partner has integrity, you will love the virtue in each other.
00:37The only thing we can love is virtue.
00:40Everything else is lust and codependency.
00:43So, if it's a crush, well, a crush and chemistry, these are just another words for the sin of lust.
00:48And that is when you wish to possess the flesh, regardless of the person who inhabits the flesh.
00:54It is using people as meat.
00:56It is being a carnivore of the human soul who ignores the person in order to consume the flesh.
01:04Do you think we're living in the most advanced civilization that has ever inhabited Earth?
01:10Well, depends what you mean by advanced, definitions are important.
01:14But, yes, the idea that there were more advanced civilizations in the past
01:20that left no record whatsoever is incomprehensible to me.
01:23We've explored a lot of the world, and there would have been some signs of a more advanced civilization.
01:29Like, I know the old thing about halos were actually, you know, space suit helmets and so on,
01:34but, yeah, I don't think so.
01:36King Crimson was at their peak with blah, blah, blah, but Taylor Swift is a billionaire.
01:41Steph, have you heard Mozart's newly discovered Very Little Night Music?
01:45You know, I used to absolutely sit with headphones and listen to music and be transported and so on.
01:51I hate to say it, it's a young man's game.
01:54Nothing wrong with it, it's a great thing.
01:56Every now and then I'll snatch a little bit and listen to maybe Dark Side of the Moon,
02:00but the problem is it's all the clocks, but maybe Song of Seven by John Anderson
02:07or another sort of hypnotic long song like the classic Shine on You Crazy Diamond Parts 1 to Infinity.
02:14So, I never particularly got into King Crimson.
02:18My particular fetish is for the quality of the singer,
02:21and the guy who sang for King Crimson, perfectly serviceable voice,
02:26but I love that silvery tone, I love really an unusual and magnetic kind of vocal style,
02:35so they never quite did it for me.
02:37It just sounded like people chanting at a Dungeons & Dragons game.
02:40But Taylor Swift is a billionaire, right?
02:44So, as an experiment, yesterday my daughter and I sat down and listened to a bunch of Taylor Swift songs.
02:51I know that one album she did that was full of pop songs like Shake It Up and so on,
02:57I listened to a couple of those songs, they were pretty good,
02:59but Taylor Swift is a mournful soft-voiced elegy for the girls who don't get picked to be wives.
03:10The NPC, copy-paste, undifferentiated, indistinguishable, blend in with the herd,
03:14like thumbprints in the back of a Matisse painting,
03:17the girls who don't get picked, who don't inspire passion,
03:20who may inspire lust among losers, but don't inspire a lifelong passion,
03:25who have taken the fork in the road, right?
03:28So, we take the fork in the road, at some point in our life you'll be faced with this choice,
03:31hopefully earlier rather than later,
03:33but at some point in your life you'll be faced with this choice,
03:35and the choice is think for yourself, follow the herd,
03:38be individuated, be who you are with your own thoughts,
03:43or copy-paste the opinions of others in order to surrender your own integrity
03:48and individuality and get along.
03:50I understand and sympathize with the choice to follow the herd, right?
03:55There's great short-term benefits in following the herd,
03:58in repeating, yeah, the vaccines are safe and effective,
04:02and tariffs are, Trump's tariffs are bad,
04:05and the weather is going to kill us all,
04:07and the only way we can save ourselves from the weather killing us all
04:11is to hand trillions of dollars to sociopaths to start wars.
04:14That's going to solve the problem, right?
04:18I mean, of course, all the people concerned about global warming
04:21should be working feverishly day and night to stop the war in Ukraine,
04:25because that's incredibly bad for the environment,
04:28let alone, of course, all the human beings being repetitively disassembled.
04:33So, yeah, if you go with the herd, you get a lot of short-term benefits.
04:37People don't give you that, you know,
04:39what are you talking about, side-eye, like, what do you mean?
04:42You don't even believe this? Like, what's the matter with you?
04:45You're a skeptic, you're an anti-vaxxer, you're a denier, you know?
04:49So, yeah, you'll be rejected by shallow skim milk surface idiots, I get that.
04:56So why would you not do that?
04:58Because the price of conformity is integrity and love, right?
05:05You see, if someone's going to love you, like, genuinely love you,
05:09deeply love you, to the core of their soul, from here to eternity,
05:15you have to be different from other people, right?
05:19You have to be different.
05:21I mean, imagine you go to a pet store and there are like, I don't know,
05:25six beagle puppies, and they're all identical, and they all act the same,
05:29and they, you know, maybe a couple of different spots here and there,
05:32but they're all the same.
05:34You'll just pick one, right?
05:35And maybe you'll pick one, oh, I like the look of this one,
05:37but you're not, there's no fundamental differentiation, right?
05:40Right, if it's like two beagles, three pit bulls, and a greyhound,
05:45and you want a soft, cute dog that's cuddly,
05:47you'd probably go with the beagles, because then they're differentiated, right?
05:50If you want to be loved, right, there are, I love you,
05:57the two most important words are the I and the you, not the love.
06:00The love is the consequence of two people admiring the virtue in each other.
06:04See, love has to last a lifetime.
06:06Love has to outgrow youthful beauty.
06:09What is it, the only thing that grows over the course of your lifetime,
06:13is your virtues, right?
06:15And your ear hair, if you're in your 50s, it's still worth it.
06:21The only thing that is worse than aging is the alternative.
06:24So, yeah, you'll go with the herd, you'll go with the general goo
06:32of everybody's NPC-ness, you'll be programmed,
06:36and you'll gain acceptance from other people who don't have a soul or a self
06:40or identity or thoughts of their own, and you'll get some comfort.
06:44But, sure, you'll blend in with the herd.
06:47And that's an understandable thing, right?
06:49Like, if you're a bunch of zebras, you think there's lions around,
06:51you're going to crowd together, so you blend in with the herd.
06:53Harder for you to catch.
06:54Birds do that when they do that swirly dust moat thing,
06:58the iron filings with the magnet on the other side of the paper
07:00flowing around the sky, like the scattered thoughts of ADHD kids.
07:06So, you'll be protected from dislike by merging with the herd,
07:12but when you protect yourself from dislike, the price you pay is to be loved.
07:18You have to be yourself to be loved.
07:20You have to be different from other people in order to be loved for who you are.
07:23Otherwise, you can just go to the gym, work on your flesh,
07:25and be lusted after, which is a sad substitute for genuine love,
07:28because genuine love fills you up and makes you stronger.
07:31Being lusted after, screwed and discarded,
07:35hollows you out from the inside and makes you resentful of the opposite sex,
07:39which means that you can't be loved.
07:42So, conformity is sterility.
07:44Conformity is emptying your life out of love.
07:47And, you know, if you've been genuinely loved,
07:50what it does is it makes you not really fearful of the hostility or opprobrium of the horde.
07:57To be genuinely loved.
08:00Like, if being scorned and rejected and attacked and lied about and slandered
08:07by society as a whole means that I get the love of the people in my life,
08:14I mean, it is a consummation devoutly to be wished.
08:18I mean, take my Wikipedia page.
08:21It gives me the love of the people in my life.
08:24Absolutely, absolutely a great deal.
08:27Absolutely a great deal.
08:29So, yeah, Taylor Swift is a billionaire.
08:31So, I listened to this one song called Lover.
08:34Lover.
08:35I won't sing it for you.
08:37Count yourself lucky.
08:39So, this was a song written in 1990, no, 2019.
08:42Sorry, 1990.
08:43What was she?
08:44Wasn't even born.
08:45So, this is Lover.
08:47So, this is the lyrics.
08:49We could leave the Christmas lights up till January, and this is our place.
08:51We make the rules, and there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear.
08:55Haven't known you for 20 seconds or 20 years.
08:57Right?
08:58Okay.
09:00So, this is a house without rules.
09:02This is a house without standards.
09:04This is a teenager's party of five style living, like pretend adults.
09:08Right?
09:10We make the rules.
09:11Right?
09:12Just make it up.
09:13Right?
09:14Can I go where you go?
09:15Can we always be this close forever and ever?
09:16Ah, take me out and take me home.
09:17You're my, my, my, my lover.
09:22Right?
09:24What's the word that's missing there?
09:27The words that are missing there is husband and father of my children.
09:31Lover.
09:32Right?
09:33This is a teenager's view of romance.
09:37She goes on to sing, we could let our friends crash in the living room.
09:41This is our place.
09:42We make the call.
09:45Our friends crash in the living room.
09:46So, this is a chaotic, young, early to mid-twenties life, and there are no kids.
09:54There's no marriage.
09:55There's no life that's built forward.
09:57There's no careers.
09:58It's, yeah, we can leave the Christmas lights up.
10:00Doesn't matter.
10:01We don't have to take them down.
10:02We don't have any rules.
10:03Friends can crash in the living room.
10:05So, this is a very immature life.
10:07Right?
10:08Which is fine if you're in your late teens.
10:09I mean, I had friends crash when I was in my teens, and I crashed at a friend's place
10:11in my early twenties, but you're supposed to outgrow that.
10:13Right?
10:14She says, I'm highly, and I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you.
10:19I loved you three summers now, honey, but I want them all.
10:24So, this is an appeal to female vanity that the woman gets the man that everyone else wants.
10:33And, of course, it's part of male vanity, too, that the man gets the woman that everyone
10:37else wants, but they want you.
10:40There's no virtues here.
10:41Right?
10:42There's just chaos, a lack of rules, and immaturity.
10:45Can I go where you go?
10:48Can we always be this close forever and ever?
10:50Ah, take me out and take me home forever and ever.
10:52You're my, my, my, my lover.
10:55So, this is a woman who wants to be with the man forever and ever, and never mentions anything
11:01about being a husband, never mentions anything about kids.
11:04It's just lover.
11:05It goes on to say, ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand with every guitar string
11:09scar on my hand.
11:10I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover.
11:13My heart's been borrowed, and yours has been blue.
11:15All's well that ends well, to end up with you.
11:19Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover, and you'll save all your dirtiest jokes from
11:24me, and at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover.
11:29So, yeah, overdramatic, dirty jokes.
11:34This is teenage stuff, right?
11:36Can I go where you go?
11:37Can we always be this close forever and ever?
11:39Ah, take me out and take me home forever and ever.
11:41You're my, my, my, oh, you're my, my, my, darling, you're my, my, my, my lover.
11:45Right?
11:48That's very sad.
11:51That's a very, and again, they're adults because they're living together, but there's no marriage,
11:56there's no kids, there's no social obligations, there's no virtue.
11:59She doesn't say what she loves about him.
12:03A dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear, dear, that's just lust.
12:07I'm highly suspicious everyone who sees you wants you, not admires you, wants you.
12:11That's lust, high status.
12:15So, if you want all of the summers, then you get married, right?
12:20Will you be my husband?
12:21Will you ask me to marry you, right?
12:24I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover.
12:26So, magnet is being drawn to someone, not through their virtues, right?
12:30What is admirable or noble or heroic or powerful or moral about this man, right?
12:36My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue.
12:40So, she slept around and he's been depressed.
12:48So, yeah, it's the people who get stuck in time.
12:52It's the people who get stuck in, like, teenage years.
12:55There's so many people, they just get stuck.
12:57And they get stuck when they stop learning and growing, right?
13:03When they come up against, usually, some trauma or something that they can't or won't move past.
13:08They can't or won't process, then you get stuck.
13:10And this is people who get stuck in their mid to late teens and end up living these idiotic, immature lives forever and ever.
13:19Amen.
13:20And they choose to conform and then are wretched at their lack of love.
13:27Because they conform, they can't be loved.
13:30And therefore, they cling to each other.
13:32They enforce conformity on newcomers to make sure that they don't get the love that these people didn't get.
13:37And then they hope to evoke lust in people.
13:41And lust is the satanic substitute for love.
13:44Okay.
13:45What's your opinion of Jordan Peterson's work?
13:48I mean, I've interviewed him a couple of times.
13:51Smart guy.
13:52Obviously, very smart guy.
13:53Very strong willed.
13:55I have doubts that he stayed awake as long as he did.
13:59Didn't he end up addicted to benzodiazepines, which is something that I'm sure he would know ahead of time.
14:04It does not seem ideal.
14:06And I'm pretty sure he knows the stuff that needs to be said to save the world.
14:12I don't think he's saying it.
14:14But he's not a philosopher.
14:15He's a psychologist.
14:16So he doesn't have to work from first principles with that level of integrity.
14:19Is statism collapsing?
14:21Yes.
14:22The beliefs are collapsing.
14:25But one of the reasons why the beliefs are collapsing is the state has gathered so much power and is going to continue to do so.
14:32So, I mean, the ultimate goal, of course, is your cell phone alerts you that the person you're talking to is a bad person.
14:38They get labeled a racist or a sexist or whatever.
14:40And then this sort of social ostracism is going to kick in.
14:44Is your book available in hardcover?
14:46I don't have any books available in hardcover.
14:49What's your favorite heavy metal band?
14:54My favorite heavy metal band?
14:57I don't know.
14:58It's been a long time since I've really gotten into music and new stuff.
15:01Is the traditional Catholicism most based thing on the earth?
15:04No.
15:05Voluntarism and anarcho-capitalism is the most based thing on the earth.
15:09What happened to your YouTube channel?
15:11There was an election.
15:13Do you think these problems with the NAP can be resolved?
15:16The non-aggression principle is a libertarian ethical stance that argues that aggression defined as the initiation of force of fraud against another person's property of persons is inherently immoral.
15:27While the principle has intuitive appeal, it faces significant philosophical, practical, and ethical challenges that undermine its universality and application.
15:36Ambiguity in defining aggression.
15:38Subjectivity of aggression.
15:40The NAP relies on a clear definition of aggression, yet many actions can be interpreted as aggression or non-aggression depending on the perspective.
15:48For instance, if somebody refuses to vaccinate during a pandemic, is that an act of aggression by endangering others' health?
15:55Or is it forcing them to vaccinate aggression?
16:01Well, of course it's an initiation of the use of force to inject someone against their will.
16:07Of course it is.
16:10Of course it is.
16:12So...
16:14Now, the way that it would work, of course, is that if you transmit a virus to someone else...
16:22Let's take a scenario where there's a pandemic.
16:25The vaccines that are developed during a pandemic, by definition, have not been safety tested for multi-year situations, right?
16:33I mean, what do they test the COVID vaccine?
16:35And I said this at the time, you know, okay, just normally a vaccine takes 10 years to approve and there's a 93% failure rate.
16:41If you do it in four months, you need to tell me what steps you skipped, right?
16:47So, by definition, if something is tested in four months, you don't have anything more than four months worth of data, right?
16:53So you don't have long-term safety data.
16:55So, to force people to take medicine that is new, in a novel medical architecture, that is not a traditional vaccine,
17:10which is an inactive virus that your immune system recognizes when the active virus shows up and combats.
17:16So, in a pandemic, a newly developed new technology vaccine cannot be forcefully injected into people.
17:25Now, in a free society, the way that it would work is, let's go with something a little less complicated.
17:31Let's say that you have... Well, this is even the case in our society, it is.
17:36Let's say that you have herpes and you don't tell a sexual partner that you have herpes.
17:40They then get herpes, which as far as I understand, it sticks with you for the rest of your life, off and on.
17:44Then you would sue that person for harming you, right?
17:47So, if somebody doesn't take a medicine that prevents transmission of an illness,
17:54then they would be liable for people they transmit that illness to,
17:57unless they tell those people ahead of time, I could be carrying and transmitting this virus, right?
18:01So, it would be like a sexually transmitted disease.
18:04So, not that complicated.
18:07Alright. Pollution from a factory might harm others, but is it aggression if the harm is indirect and unintended?
18:14This ambiguity makes it difficult to apply the NAP consistently.
18:18So, this is a prime example of a midwit, right?
18:21This is just somebody who thinks they're intelligent.
18:24I'm not talking about the listener, I'm talking about whoever's coming up with these ridiculous and embarrassing questions.
18:29So, midwits are revealed, and midwits are not people of average intelligence.
18:36Midwits are people of average intelligence who think that they're smart.
18:39So, one way you identify a midwit is you say, here's a general statement,
18:43and the midwit says, well, I can think of an exception.
18:46I'm so valuable.
18:48Yeah, women are generally taller than men.
18:50Well, I know a woman who's taller than a man, and the average man, she's like six foot two.
18:54So, when you have a general rule saying that there's an exception is stupid.
19:01It's genuinely stupid in the way that stupid people are not stupid because they don't think that they're smart.
19:06So, if somebody says, well, there could be really complicated and difficult situations
19:14wherein somebody burns a fire in their backyard, and, you know,
19:21fourteen houses over through some trick of the wind, the smoke dumps on someone who's got asthma,
19:27and, yeah, yeah, guess what?
19:32Every moral rule is going to have edge cases that are hard to figure out.
19:37But who cares? It's completely unimportant.
19:41God above! Oh, my God.
19:45So, we literally have a society now, right now, where children are born into millions of dollars of debt.
19:54They're financial fucking slaves.
19:59The government has the power to incarcerate virtually at will.
20:03It has the power to start wars.
20:05Right now, NATO is discussing, from what I've read, I can't verify it,
20:09NATO is discussing preemptive strikes within Russia.
20:14America's delivering missiles to Ukraine that are striking within Russia.
20:23The fuck is wrong with you people?
20:25Well, but you see, there could be some conceivable edge case fifty years from now
20:30that might be kind of ambiguous and would require a...
20:33Oh, my God!
20:39Well, you have a terminal illness and you're twenty, and you say,
20:47I'm not going to take treatment because it could be the case that I get a hangnail when I'm sixty.
20:58Who cares about these edge cases in a hundred years?
21:02We're facing monumental disaster through statism at the moment.
21:09It's like people's amygdala is just not even functioning.
21:11They have no sense of danger.
21:13Their danger is possible air pollution in a free society a hundred years from now
21:18rather than a fucking rain down of Chernobyl-style nuclear warheads in the world this fucking week.
21:24I don't even know what to say to people like that.
21:26I don't, I don't.
21:27Like we're living in completely different realities.
21:33It's completely different realities.
21:35It's like you have a bunch of zebras surrounded by lions
21:41and they're saying, you know, I'm concerned that in my old age
21:45I might stumble and fall on a little hole in the ground.
21:49And it's like, what do you even say?
21:52Like you're surrounded by lions.
21:55You're surrounded by lions.
21:57And even if you can discard the World War III shit
22:01from a lame duck president who's barely there,
22:04even if you discard the World War III shit, the other stuff's indisputable.
22:08Children are born into millions of dollars of debt that they can't pay off.
22:12Unfunded liabilities in America run into the close to 200 trillion dollar range,
22:16probably higher now.
22:18So children are born enslaved to foreign banksters.
22:21That's right now.
22:23And they're indoctrinated and taught to hate themselves in schools.
22:27Like that's right now.
22:29And you're like, oh, but what if there's air pollution in an ambiguous situation
22:33a hundred years from now in a free society?
22:35So...
22:39I mean, there's midwits, and then there's suicidally dangerous midwits.
22:43Okay, lack of a mechanism for collective action addressing collective problems.
22:47The NAP is highly individualistic and struggles to address issues
22:51that require collective solutions, such as environmental protection,
22:54public health, or infrastructure.
22:56For example, climate change results from aggregate actions that harm others.
23:00Yet enforcing emissions reductions could be seen as an initiation of force
23:04against individuals or corporations.
23:06Public goods like roads, education, and defense require taxation,
23:10which the NAP might label as aggression,
23:14leaving no clear path to fund or manage such necessities.
23:19So, I mean, let's look at America.
23:21What is the military doing in America?
23:23Is it protecting the border? No.
23:25No.
23:27It is, in general, invading and provoking conflicts in other countries
23:31that end up often with blowback in America.
23:36What national defense is occurring in America?
23:43I mean, it's incomprehensible to me.
23:46Roads can be paid for. You have GPSs. Roads can be paid for.
23:49Roads were paid for before the government came along.
23:53And let's say climate change.
23:55Okay, so let's say climate change.
23:57Let's say it's real. Let's say it's man-made.
24:00Let's say you need collective action to deal with it.
24:03Okay, what's the most...
24:04You want the cheapest and most effective way to deal with climate change.
24:07How is that going to happen?
24:08Well, the way it's going to happen is
24:10people have insurance against property damage
24:12when climate change is projected to do significant property damage
24:16or damage to people's health.
24:18Insurance companies will give people incentives to take actions
24:21that are going to minimize damage in the future.
24:23It's really not complicated at all.
24:26Public health.
24:28Okay, since the government has taken over more and more in public health,
24:32Americans and other places around the world,
24:34their health has gotten worse and worse.
24:36So this is just magic NPC words that,
24:39well, you know, you need environmental protection.
24:42Like, you know that the government literally prevented the market
24:46from dealing with environmental protection.
24:48So way back in the day, in the 19th century, the satanic mills, right?
24:52There are all these mills producing all of this air pollution,
24:54and it was harming the orchards. It was harming the farms, right?
24:57The air was coating the farmers' apples and soot.
25:00So the farmers took the capitalists, the factory owners,
25:04took them to court for property damage, right?
25:06It's all well-documented. It's all well-known.
25:08Murray Rothbard writes about the law, so you can go look it up.
25:11So they took, under common law, right,
25:14they took the factory owners to court
25:17because the factory owners were screwing up their farms.
25:20And the court said, it's true that they are,
25:23but we're getting more taxes from the factory owners
25:25than from the farmers, so fuck you, farmers.
25:27You're going to have to move.
25:29So the government literally prevented property rights
25:34and defense against property damage from being enforced.
25:37But without the government, you can't get environmental protection.
25:41Like, you understand, the national debt is entirely anti-environmental
25:45because the national debt is buying, creating, and consuming shit
25:48in the here and now that otherwise would not be bought,
25:51created, or consumed, right?
25:54The national debt is conspicuous consumption in the present
25:58for the sake of less consumption.
26:01All debt is more consumption in the present
26:03for the sake of less consumption in the future.
26:05So the national debt is taking nature's scarce resources
26:08and buying and burning and wasting them.
26:14And you never see environmentalists talk about the national debt
26:17or mass immigration. Anyway, it's all boring.
26:20All boring stuff. All right.
26:23This is, it's all unbelievable.
26:26Okay, assumes absolute property rights.
26:29Property rights are not universally agreed upon.
26:31The NAP assumes that property rights are fundamental and self-evident,
26:34yet property systems are human constructs
26:37that vary across cultures and contexts.
26:40Yeah, so is language, but you're still using language
26:42to communicate your point, idiot.
26:44Not the reader, but, right?
26:46For example, indigenous communities often view land as communal
26:48rather than private, making the enforcement of private property rights
26:52in such contexts potentially aggressive.
26:56Historical injustice.
26:58Many property holdings result from historical aggression,
27:01e.g. colonization and slavery.
27:03The NAP offers no clear guidance on addressing these injustices
27:06because enforcing reparations would violate the principle.
27:12Yeah, yeah.
27:14Okay, so you don't have to enforce property rights.
27:17You don't.
27:19You don't have to enforce property rights.
27:21You can buy land and you can hold it all in common.
27:24You can be one giant flesh pit of scabies sharing culty orgy stuff.
27:30You don't have to enforce private property rights.
27:35Slavery, yeah. Slavery is really, really bad.
27:37See, slavery is when you take people's property without their consent.
27:42When you own people. Okay.
27:44So if children are born into financial enslavement to foreign banksters,
27:48isn't that slavery?
27:50So that's a function of the state.
27:52See, the state enforces slavery.
27:57If the state didn't enforce slavery, slavery was a statist phenomenon.
28:02So saying, well, we have to have a government because of slavery
28:05is saying we have to have a government because governments did evil in the past.
28:10Well, why wouldn't governments continue to do evil in the present?
28:13We know that they are.
28:16I don't know.
28:23Reparations.
28:31So there is a principle in general that after a certain amount of time,
28:38like obviously if someone steals your bike, you can go and get your bike back, right?
28:42If they stole your bike 200 years ago, I mean, at some point it becomes,
28:50like there's a statute of limitations for crimes, right?
28:53There's a statute of limitations for crimes.
28:55Not murder, except you don't prosecute someone who's dead.
28:58So there are statutes of limitations for crimes in general
29:00because the records go, the witnesses are gone and so on, right?
29:03So there's a statute of limitations for crimes.
29:08And in general, it's a whole lot less than a couple of hundred years.
29:11So, all right.
29:12Fails to account for power imbalances.
29:15Oh no, power imbalances are bad.
29:18So we need a social agency with a monopoly on the use of force to deal with power imbalances.
29:24Oh my God.
29:27I have a headache.
29:28I'm going to solve it with a guillotine.
29:31All right.
29:32The NAP does not account for systemic power imbalances
29:36that can lead to de facto coercion without overt aggression.
29:39For example, a worker choosing between starvation and accepting exploitative labor conditions
29:47may not face physical aggression, but that choices are constrained by economic coercion.
29:53Oh my God, it's violence that human beings need food.
29:58Nature is just a psycho bully, man.
30:02I'm being bullied.
30:04You know, gravity is a bully, man, because I want to fly.
30:08And the fact that I need to breathe is nature imposing its violent will on me.
30:14The fact that in order to consume, I have to produce or trade or beg or borrow.
30:18That's...
30:19Okay, so reality is abusive.
30:22Reality is abusive.
30:26Human beings need food and shelter.
30:28Well, that's just abusive.
30:30Okay, so...
30:31Oh my God.
30:32Oh my God.
30:34Okay.
30:37Oh God.
30:38A worker choosing between starvation and accepting exploitative labor conditions.
30:44So, what do you mean?
30:46What do you mean choosing starvation?
30:48He can start his own business.
30:51He can go work somewhere else.
30:53If he's got reasonable skills, then...
30:57Then people will vie for his labor and so on.
31:02So, why doesn't he have any skills?
31:07So, why doesn't he have any skills?
31:09Like, we all know that you need a minimum wage because the government schools are completely retarded
31:14and don't teach you anything of economic value, right?
31:16They don't teach you entrepreneurship.
31:17They don't teach you negotiation.
31:19They don't teach you economics.
31:20They don't teach you valuable skills acquisition.
31:22They don't teach you how to pay your taxes.
31:25They don't teach you how to apply for a job.
31:27They don't teach you anything.
31:28They don't teach you any usable skills.
31:31So, governments will teach you geometry and self-hatred.
31:35And that's it.
31:38It's all terrible.
31:39So, why are workers...
31:41Let's say this guy is 25.
31:43Why doesn't he have any skills?
31:44Because he went to government schools.
31:46Right?
31:48So...
31:50The fact that human beings need to eat...
31:53Like...
31:55You can just...
31:57You can get some chickens.
31:58Right?
31:59You can...
32:00You can put a little farm together in your backyard.
32:03You can...
32:05You can work to increase your skills so that you're in higher demand
32:08and therefore you won't need to accept exploitive labor conditions.
32:13What are exploitive labor conditions?
32:15You want to get paid more?
32:16Well, everyone wants to get paid more.
32:17freedomain.com.
32:18Everyone wants to get paid more.
32:20Sure.
32:21Is it exploitive?
32:22Does that mean dangerous or bad labor conditions?
32:24Well, dangerous or bad labor conditions
32:26would be dealt with by insurance companies in a free society
32:29that would require that workers not be subject to terrible and dangerous labor conditions
32:34because the company would get sued or be liable for deaths
32:37and that would be very bad for their economics and so on.
32:39Right?
32:40So...
32:42Oh, gosh almighty.
32:43What can I even say?
32:46Oh, my gosh.
32:47Corporate monopolies can dominate markets and restrict freedom
32:50without violating the NAP?
32:51Yet they create conditions of opportunity.
32:57Oh, my God.
32:58This has got to be a troll.
33:01So...
33:02Monopolies are really...
33:03Monopolies are really bad
33:05so let's give the government a violent monopoly on just about everything.
33:13Oh, my gosh.
33:16Voluntary monopolies are bad
33:19so let's make a giant, violent, involuntary monopoly.
33:24His monopolies are bad
33:25so let's give the government control over education and roads and defense
33:28and environmental protection and law enforcement.
33:32Monopolies are terrible, you see.
33:35I'm sorry.
33:39Do people...
33:40I don't get...
33:41This is not complicated.
33:42This is not...
33:43This is not like learning ancient Aramaic
33:46or trying to follow Sam Harris.
33:47This is not like ridiculously complicated, right?
33:50This is like...
33:51Oh, monopolies are bad
33:54so let's create a violent monopoly
33:56with the ability to print money
33:58and indoctrinate children
34:02and borrow against the unborn.
34:08And they can control interest rates and start wars at will.
34:12But, you see...
34:14Only having one McDonald's in a town is really bad.
34:19Oh, my God, I'm gonna...
34:22I should stop before I pee myself.
34:25Uh-oh.
34:26Oh, rubric.
34:27It's too late.
34:28All right.
34:29Incompatibility with emergency situations.
34:32Moral exceptions.
34:34The NAP struggles with situations
34:36where initiating force might be morally justified
34:38or necessary to prevent greater harm.
34:41For example, breaking into a cabin
34:43to survive in a blizzard
34:44technically violates the NAP
34:46but might be considered ethically justifiable.
34:48No, it doesn't violate the NAP.
34:50Nope.
34:52Nope.
34:53It doesn't matter if you get permission
34:55before or after the use of property.
34:57It doesn't matter.
34:58So, if I had a cabin
35:00and somebody was freezing to death
35:02and they had to break a window to get into my cabin
35:04or I had to pick the lock of a door
35:06or whatever it is to get into my cabin
35:07so that they didn't die,
35:09I would want them to do that.
35:10Like, if they phoned me and they said,
35:11I'm outside your cabin.
35:12I'll pay you back.
35:13I'll, you know, whatever.
35:14But I need to get inside because I'm going to die.
35:16Right?
35:17I don't want them to die.
35:18I don't want, even if I'm some cold-hearted guy,
35:20I don't want the messy legal complications
35:22and finding a frozen dead body on my property.
35:25I haven't to deal with that.
35:26Even if I'm just a cold-hearted guy,
35:29I want him to use my property.
35:30Yeah, absolutely, man.
35:32Get in there.
35:33Phone for help.
35:34And, you know, yes, it would be nice
35:35if you got, you know, paid me to get the window repaired
35:38or whatever it is.
35:39Sure.
35:40So I would give permission.
35:41And, you know, if you have reasonable,
35:44if you have a reasonable belief
35:47that you will get permission after the fact,
35:50it's not a violation of the non-aggression principle.
35:52Right?
35:54Right.
35:55It's not a violation of the non-aggression principle
35:57if you get property,
35:58if you get permission to use the property after the fact.
36:01Like, if your kid is drowning and you can't swim
36:04and there's like a life jacket
36:07or some flotation device on the dock
36:09and you grab it and you throw it,
36:10you haven't got permission.
36:11Are you stealing?
36:12No.
36:13Because the person would, without a doubt,
36:15give you permission to use that.
36:17If you said,
36:18Hey, can I use your flotation device to save my kid?
36:20They'd say,
36:21Well, yes, of course.
36:22Please.
36:23Like, don't even ask.
36:24Right?
36:25So, I don't know.
36:28I don't know what that means.
36:31I mean, this is how society works.
36:33Like, you go into a restaurant,
36:34you don't sign a contract
36:35saying you're going to pay for the meal.
36:36You just go into the restaurant,
36:37you order the food.
36:38Right?
36:40So, you know,
36:41the quote contract to pay is often,
36:43anyway, anyway.
36:44All right.
36:45Preventive action,
36:47such as disarming someone threatening violence,
36:49could be seen as an aggression under the NAP,
36:52even if it avoids greater harm.
36:54No.
36:55If somebody says,
36:57they pull out a gun
36:58and they say,
36:59I'm going to shoot you,
37:00then you can shoot them.
37:02Because it is reasonable to assume
37:04that they're going to shoot you
37:05because they're just telling you
37:06they're going to shoot you.
37:07So, I don't...
37:08Self-defense does not require
37:09you actually get stabbed.
37:11Right?
37:12Self-defense is,
37:13is there a reasonable belief
37:14that you're about to encounter
37:15grievous bodily harm or death?
37:17Right?
37:18And if somebody is threatening you
37:19and pulling out a weapon,
37:21that is enough.
37:22So, I don't...
37:23I don't understand that.
37:24Now, again,
37:25you can always come up
37:26with some ambiguous edge case.
37:27It doesn't matter.
37:29Because they're so rare
37:30that they don't have
37:31any foundational impact
37:32on society as a whole.
37:34And that's what courts are for.
37:36Courts are...
37:37And courts are going to have
37:38edge cases.
37:39You know, edge cases
37:40make bad precedent.
37:41Right?
37:42So, the fact that you can
37:43construct something
37:44where it's hard to figure out
37:45is completely irrelevant.
37:47It's completely irrelevant
37:50to the principle as a whole.
37:51Right?
37:52The principle is independent
37:53of the edge case.
37:55So, yes,
37:56you can come up with
37:57some situation where
37:58it's kind of ambiguous.
37:59I'm going to mess you up
38:00and he reaches in,
38:01but he's actually
38:02pulling out
38:03a small knife
38:04because he wants to
38:05dig something out of...
38:06Like, you can come up
38:07with something where
38:08there could be
38:09a misinterpretation,
38:10but it doesn't affect
38:11the principle as a whole.
38:12Right?
38:13It doesn't affect
38:14the principle as a whole.
38:16All right.
38:18Six.
38:19Oversimplification of ethics,
38:20moral complexity.
38:22Ethical decision-making
38:23often involves
38:24balancing competing values
38:25such as individual rights,
38:26collective welfare,
38:27and justice.
38:28The NAP reduces morality
38:29to a single principle,
38:30ignoring the complexity
38:31of real-world dilemmas.
38:33Right.
38:34So, apparently,
38:35you see,
38:36the more complicated
38:37things become,
38:38the less you need principles.
38:40That's unbelievably stupid.
38:42The more complicated
38:43things become,
38:44the more you need principles,
38:45not the less.
38:46Right?
38:47It's like saying,
38:48well, a really complicated
38:49mathematical equation
38:50should get rid of
38:51mathematical principles.
38:53It's like, no,
38:54the more complicated
38:55the mathematical equation,
38:56the more you need to stick to
38:58mathematical principles.
38:59Right?
39:01So,
39:03let's just talk about
39:04rape, right?
39:06So, ethical decision-making.
39:08Should someone
39:09rape or not?
39:10Is rape evil?
39:11Is rape evil?
39:12Immoral?
39:13Well,
39:14it's competing values,
39:15individual rights,
39:16collective welfare,
39:17justice.
39:18You can't just reduce
39:19anti-rape
39:20to a single principle,
39:21ignoring the complexity
39:22of real-world dilemmas.
39:23It's like,
39:24you really fucking can.
39:25Rape is just
39:26stone evil.
39:28And the moment
39:29somebody starts to say,
39:30well, it's complicated,
39:31I just view them
39:32as somebody who wants
39:33to be a rapist.
39:34It's not complicated.
39:36Pedophilia,
39:37not complicated.
39:39Oh, my God.
39:40Kidnapping,
39:41not complicated.
39:44Assault,
39:45beating up a child,
39:46not complicated.
39:48Anyway,
39:49utilitarian concerns
39:50following,
39:52and of course,
39:53so the more complicated
39:54things are,
39:55the more you need
39:57moral principles.
39:59Now, violence
40:01is
40:02a way of dealing
40:03with complexity,
40:04which is what
40:05generally governments do.
40:07So you're going to end up
40:08with something simple
40:09or the other.
40:10It's either going to be
40:11just some government law
40:12that you have to follow
40:13or get thrown in jail,
40:14or you're going to have principles.
40:15So all complexity
40:16resolves down to simplicity.
40:17It's either moral principles
40:18or government force
40:19or some other kind of force,
40:20right?
40:21So you don't get rid
40:22of complexity
40:23by putting the government
40:24in place.
40:25You simply render it
40:26susceptible to political
40:27manipulations
40:28and the basic violence
40:29of the state.
40:31Alright.
40:37Oh, God,
40:38what did we get here?
40:39Utilitarian,
40:40following the NAP
40:41rigidly.
40:45See, rigidly
40:46is just one of these words
40:47that's supposed to be negative
40:48without any
40:49actual explanation.
40:51I mean,
40:52rigidly,
40:53rigidly opposing
40:54slavery and rape,
40:55it's like,
40:56no, that's just called
40:57being principled.
40:58It's rigid.
40:59No, it's called
41:00having a fucking principle.
41:01Could lead to
41:02suboptimal outcomes
41:03such as allowing
41:04preventable suffering
41:05or harm
41:06if addressing it
41:07would require,
41:08quote,
41:09aggression.
41:10That's just,
41:11I want to be a bad guy.
41:12I want to be a bad guy,
41:13so I'm going to throw
41:14a bunch of cloudy words
41:15out there
41:16with negative connotations
41:17so you'll just let me
41:18be a bad guy
41:19and use force.
41:20I'm a lover of violence
41:21and your principles
41:22so I'm just going to
41:23kind of diss them
41:24and say that they lead
41:25to bad outcomes,
41:26which apparently
41:27my violence will never do.
41:28Okay.
41:29Seven, practical limitations.
41:30Enforcement dilemma.
41:31Even within a system
41:32governed by the NAP,
41:33enforcing the principle
41:34requires some authority
41:35to define and address
41:36aggression.
41:37For example,
41:38resolving disputes
41:39over property boundaries
41:40or contractual breaches
41:41might involve
41:42coercive mechanisms
41:43contradicting the NAP.
41:46What?
41:47Okay, I mean,
41:48this is just somebody
41:49who's come up with
41:50a bunch of words
41:51trying to use violence
41:52and has not looked into,
41:53I mean,
41:54I've got a whole book
41:55called Practical Anarchy
41:56about this.
41:57I've got a novel called,
41:58that's all they have
41:59to go to me.
42:00There's tons of people
42:01who've worked on these issues.
42:02So, apparently, you see,
42:03apparently, see,
42:04it's really bad
42:05to have a coercive mechanism
42:07to resolve property boundaries.
42:09Oh my gosh,
42:10can you imagine
42:11having a coercive mechanism
42:13to resolve property boundaries?
42:15Wait, wait a minute.
42:18Isn't the government
42:19a coercive mechanism?
42:20So it's really bad
42:21to have a coercive mechanism
42:23to resolve property disputes.
42:25So I know
42:26what we'll do
42:27is we'll have
42:28a government
42:29which is a coercive mechanism
42:30resolve property disputes.
42:34It's really bad
42:35that your building
42:36could catch fire.
42:37So what we'll do
42:38is hire an arsonist
42:39to set fire to it.
42:40And that's going to solve
42:41the problem.
42:42At least you won't have to worry
42:43about whether your building's
42:44going to burn.
42:45I mean, my God,
42:46what do these people think?
42:48I mean,
42:49so economic ostracism
42:51is the way that you deal
42:52with things, right?
42:53It's just economic ostracism, right?
42:56I mean,
42:57if somebody won't keep
42:58their contracts,
42:59they get a bad contract rating,
43:00they have to pay extra
43:01for their contracts,
43:02or nobody will enter
43:03into a contract with them,
43:04and then they can't really
43:05do much to do well
43:06in society.
43:07So you don't,
43:08ostracism,
43:09economic ostracism
43:11is very powerful,
43:12and economic ostracism
43:13is not a violation
43:14of the non-aggression principle.
43:15Very dead simple.
43:17Very, very dead simple.
43:18All right.
43:20Ah,
43:22a purely voluntary system
43:23lacks a practical means
43:25of ensuring compliance
43:26or protecting vulnerable individuals
43:28from exploitation or harm.
43:29Ah,
43:30yes, that's right.
43:33That's right.
43:36So,
43:38when the government
43:39wants to go to war
43:40and drafts people,
43:42to the point where
43:43some people will
43:44shoot themselves
43:45literally in the foot
43:46to avoid being drafted,
43:47I mean,
43:48you see these poor people
43:49in Russia and Ukraine,
43:50these poor Middle Asian old men
43:52getting dragged off the streets,
43:53fighting like hell.
43:54So,
43:55yeah,
43:56you see,
43:57a purely voluntary system,
43:58you know,
43:59people could get
44:00exploited or harmed.
44:01So,
44:02for instance,
44:03in a state of society,
44:04children
44:05are never exploited
44:06for economic gain.
44:07In other words,
44:08their future productivity
44:09is never sold
44:10to foreign bankers
44:11in return for bribe money
44:12for the majority and mob
44:13in the here and now.
44:14That never happens.
44:15Children are never exploited.
44:16Children who are put
44:17in a really,
44:18really boring
44:19and soul-destroying
44:21government
44:22lack-of-concentration
44:23miseducation camps,
44:24this government education,
44:26such children
44:27are never drugged!
44:28Can you imagine?
44:30Children being drugged
44:31because they're bored?
44:33Particularly boys
44:34in girl-centric,
44:35sitting kumbaya
44:37and cut fucking princess outfits
44:39out of cardboard.
44:40Boys are bored.
44:41Can you imagine?
44:42Vulnerable people being,
44:43I mean,
44:44they're never sold off
44:45to foreign bankers,
44:46they're never drugged,
44:47they're never exploited,
44:48they're never indoctrinated
44:49because that just
44:50doesn't happen.
44:51So, you see,
44:52in a purely voluntary society,
44:54how do you stop
44:55the vulnerable
44:56from being exploited?
44:58Yeah, that's tough.
45:01It's unbelievable.
45:02It's like people
45:03don't even live
45:04in the real world
45:05and are made up
45:06in some imaginary world
45:07where the vulnerable
45:08are never exploited now.
45:09Never.
45:11Historical and theoretical
45:12criticism,
45:13historical evidence,
45:14societies that have
45:15operated on principles
45:16akin to the NAP,
45:18e.g. laissez-faire capitalism,
45:20have often resulted
45:21in significant inequality,
45:23exploitation and harm,
45:24suggesting that the principle
45:25is insufficient
45:26for creating equitable
45:27or stable society.
45:31Oh, yes.
45:32You look at the cycle
45:33of empires,
45:34yes, statism
45:35is inherently unstable
45:36because no state or society
45:37lasts more, really,
45:38than a couple hundred years
45:39without devolving
45:40into tyranny
45:41and economic collapse.
45:42Every single fucking one.
45:43So the US dollar
45:45has lost 99% of its value
45:47in a little over 100 years.
45:48But don't worry.
45:50Don't worry.
45:51A free society
45:52might not be perfectly stable.
45:53I mean, look at the
45:54American experiment, right?
45:56Just the American, right?
45:58Federal Reserve, 1913.
46:00Income tax, 1913.
46:02First World War.
46:04The hypomania
46:06of the money-printing
46:07stock market bubble
46:08followed by a 14-year
46:09Great Depression
46:10leading to
46:11the Second World War
46:12leading to
46:13the Korean War
46:14leading to
46:15the Cold War
46:16leading to
46:17the Vietnam War
46:18leading to
46:19the bubble
46:20of the 80s,
46:21the crash
46:22of the early 90s,
46:23the bubble
46:24of the 90s
46:25followed by
46:269-11,
46:27followed by
46:28wars in Iraq,
46:29Afghanistan, Syria,
46:30government overthrows
46:31in Ukraine, 2014.
46:32I mean,
46:33but don't worry.
46:34A free society
46:35might be
46:36kind of unstable.
46:37Ah.
46:38Unbelievable.
46:39Okay.
46:40Inequality.
46:41So, inequality
46:42just means
46:43other people
46:44produce value
46:45in society
46:46that I can't
46:47or choose not to.
46:48That's all.
46:49Some people are tall.
46:50Some people are short.
46:51Some people have
46:52great singing voices.
46:53Some people don't.
46:54Some people are smarter
46:55than others.
46:56Some people are more
46:57attractive than others.
46:58So, yeah,
46:59there's inequality
47:00in nature.
47:01Right?
47:03A free market society
47:05doesn't violate
47:06the inequalities
47:07in nature
47:08by forcing
47:09redistribution
47:10of resources.
47:12So,
47:13believe it or not,
47:14right,
47:15I've never been
47:16I've never been
47:17invited to be
47:18a hair model
47:19because I had,
47:20like,
47:21maybe 18 months
47:22of good hair
47:23in my life.
47:25I had a bowl cut,
47:26then I had a cool cut,
47:27then I started
47:28losing my hair.
47:29So,
47:30it's unequal
47:31that Brad Pitt
47:32has great hair.
47:33It's wrong.
47:34It's unequal
47:35that all the Beatles
47:36kept their hair
47:37and the people,
47:38the guys that
47:39worked didn't.
47:40Right?
47:41That's just unequal.
47:42It's wrong.
47:45So what?
47:47So what?
47:48Does that mean
47:49that someone
47:50should point a gun
47:51at Brad Pitt
47:52and say,
47:53you have great hair,
47:54Steph doesn't have
47:55great hair,
47:56you gotta give him
47:57some money?
47:58That would be repulsive.
47:59That would be horrible.
48:00It's great.
48:01He's got great hair.
48:02Freddie Mercury
48:03has a great singing voice.
48:04Uh,
48:05Katy Perry's
48:06a great songwriter
48:07and a great performer
48:08and a great singer
48:09and she's very pretty.
48:11Is that fair?
48:12What does that even mean?
48:14Fair is just
48:15the youngest sibling's whining
48:16that he's not getting
48:17his share of the pie.
48:18What does it mean
48:19to be fair?
48:20Inequality is
48:21the loser's cry
48:22to get something
48:23he didn't earn.
48:24Go find something
48:25you're good at
48:26and stop whining
48:27that other people
48:28are better at you
48:29at things.
48:30Inequality.
48:31Oh my God.
48:32It's insane.
48:33Exploitation.
48:34Oh, and inequality.
48:35You want to talk
48:36inequality,
48:37enforcers,
48:38and private citizens.
48:39That's inequality.
48:40If you're concerned
48:41about inequality,
48:42you've got to look at that.
48:43And if you're not
48:44looking at that,
48:45I don't give a shit
48:46what you have to say
48:47about inequality at all.
48:48If you're not talking
48:49about the difference
48:50in government coercion
48:52and private citizens
48:54who are often
48:55legally disarmed,
48:56right?
48:57If you're not talking
48:58about, say, in England,
48:59the fact that police
49:00are coming
49:01into people's homes
49:02and dragging them
49:03off to jail for memes,
49:04that's inequality.
49:06If you're not
49:07talking about that,
49:08but you're talking
49:09about inequality
49:10in a free society,
49:11a voluntary society,
49:12a non-aggression
49:13principle society,
49:15then you're just
49:16a rank asshole
49:17propagandist
49:18who's justifying violence.
49:20It's repulsive.
49:22Oh, harm.
49:23Oh, real-world harm.
49:24Oh, look,
49:25these ideas
49:26could lead to
49:27real-world harm.
49:28And everybody
49:29who says that
49:30never says,
49:31well, we've got
49:32to get communists
49:33out of government
49:34subsidized and sponsored
49:35because communism
49:36just in the 20th century
49:37slaughtered a hundred
49:38million people
49:39and incarcerated
49:40countless people.
49:42Gulag Archipelago
49:43comes to mind.
49:47So there's an idea
49:48that leads to
49:49real-world harm,
49:50but nobody ever
49:51talks about that
49:52because they don't
49:53care about this stuff.
49:54They just care about
49:55justifying violence
49:56because they're sociopaths,
49:57in my humble opinion.
49:58All right.
49:59Do we care?
50:00Philosophical counter-arguments.
50:01Thinkers like Karl Marx
50:02or John Rawls
50:03argue that focusing solely
50:04on individual rights
50:05and property
50:06ignores the broader
50:07social and structural
50:08forces that shape
50:09human relationships
50:10and justice.
50:11I mean,
50:12let's just put in rape,
50:13right?
50:14So you would say,
50:15well,
50:16focusing solely
50:17on not having rape,
50:18right?
50:19Focusing solely
50:20on anti-rape
50:21ignores the broader
50:22social and structural
50:23forces that shape
50:24human relationships
50:25and justice.
50:26It's bullshit.
50:27You don't have a
50:28relationship
50:29if you have a gun
50:30to your head.
50:31You have a gun
50:32to your head
50:33if you have a gun
50:34to your head.
50:35You have subjugation,
50:36right?
50:37The slave doesn't have
50:38a relationship
50:39with his owner.
50:40It's just
50:41a relationship
50:42is a volunteer.
50:43And justice,
50:44well,
50:45justice is just
50:46one of these words
50:47that people use
50:48when they don't have
50:49a moral argument
50:50and want to do evil.
50:51Well,
50:52it doesn't help justice.
50:53All right.
50:54Justice is a gun,
50:55right?
50:56Well,
50:57the non-aggression principle
50:58provides a simple
50:59and appealing
51:00ethical framework.
51:01Its oversimplification
51:02is problematic
51:03in practice.
51:04Life is too
51:05complicated
51:06for negotiation,
51:07so let's just
51:08get a gun.
51:09You know,
51:10this would be like
51:11somebody saying,
51:12well,
51:13asking a girl out
51:14is complicated
51:15and difficult.
51:16She might say,
51:17no,
51:18so I'm just
51:19going to kidnap her
51:20because,
51:21you know,
51:22it's that way
51:23I get the date.
51:24It's like,
51:25that's just evil,
51:26right?
51:27Whenever people
51:28want to complicate
51:29moral issues
51:30by getting rid
51:31of oppression,
51:32systemic power
51:33imbalances,
51:34collective action
51:35needs,
51:36and situations
51:37where initiating
51:38force might
51:39prevent greater
51:40harm,
51:41ultimately the NDP's
51:42rigid
51:43RIGID
51:44adherence to
51:45individual rights
51:46and property
51:47neglects the
51:48interconnected
51:49and nuanced
51:50realities of human
51:51society.
51:52Right,
51:53so let's just
51:54give a small
51:55minority of sociopaths
51:56all the guns
51:57in the world
51:58and then you're
51:59going to have
52:00to deal with
52:01these people.
52:02I can't even
52:03with these people.
52:04You know,
52:05society is a
52:06complex interweb of
52:07very nuanced
52:08and so we'll just
52:09give a small
52:10bunch of people
52:11all the weaponry
52:12in the known
52:13universe and a
52:14free reign to do
52:15whatever the fuck
52:16they want.
52:17Well,
52:18you're not going
52:19to end up with
52:20much nuanced
52:21shit there
52:22unless you
52:23consider concentration
52:24camps and mass
52:25graves nuanced.
52:26Alright,
52:27I've got to
52:28stop here.
52:29I've had a
52:30little bit of
52:31evil justifications
52:32for the last half
52:33hour, so if you
52:34find my work
52:35valuable, thank
52:36you so much.
52:37FreedomAid.com
52:38slash donate to
52:39help out the show.
52:40I would massively
52:41appreciate it.
52:42Love you guys to
52:43death.
52:44Thank you so
52:45much.
52:46Remember, no
52:47shows.
52:48There will be a
52:49show tonight,
52:507pm.
52:51No shows tomorrow
52:52or Friday.
52:53I'm back on the
52:54wagon, I think,
52:55on Sunday.
52:56So, lots of
52:57love.
