This is a very educational video! Its funny to me how I new all of the facts you had stated about money and wealth, but I had never drawn the conclusions you drew here, between wealth derived from one's personal abilities to perform services, or wealth derived from the immediate utility or application of goods.

Thanks!

I appreciate your kind words and your comments. Indeed, I think that it is the task of philosophy to take the insights and observations that we recognize on an everyday basis and make them rigorously consistent -- thereby sometimes arriving at conclusions beyond the immediately obvious. Most people err in their thinking in that they implicitly hold certain contradictions -- even about everyday life -- while the data to resolve those contradictions are available to them.

You ever make a video regarding your thoughts on Chomsky?

[GStolyarovII]

I have not, as of this time, written on Chomsky or made videos regarding my opinion of his view. However, I did recently publish on The Rational Argumentator an interesting critique by Ben O'Neill, with which I am largely in agreement: rationalargumentator[dot]com/i­ssue198/privatetyrannies[dot]h­tml
