That last question was about Mises/Rothbardian Marginal Utility. In case anyone wanted to look it up.
The questions and objections raised by the students were interesting. I have often found that people who OBJECT to this line of thinking (as in, "you can't have equality of liberty and equality of outcome"), do so because it doesn't FEEL good to accept it. They don't LIKE the necessary consequences... and so they have an emotional petulant child type of reaction.
so, how do you balance, for example, "the right to bare arms". with someone who wants to obtain WMDs? There is a limit to pursue some types of weapons... even though we have a right to bare arms.
@x86cowboy The U.S. Constitution does not adequately define "arms". When it was adopted, "arms" included muzzle-loaded muskets and pistols, swords, knives, bows with arrows, and spears. However, a common- law definition would be "light infantry weapons which can be carried and used, together with ammunition, by a single militiaman, functionally equivalent to those commonly used by infantrymen in land warfare."
Humans have a “created equal” process via the sperm fertilizing the egg. After creation, the individual is unique and therefore, not equal. For we live in a relativistic universe, where equality is an abstract concept not yet found in any metrology. Keep it simple! See my channel video for the complete story.
I love this guy. These lectures are freaking amazing. It makes me want to be a teacher even more.
