You cannot force someone to be good. Virtue is the freely-willed repetition of good acts: good habits. It cannot be imposed via edict. Goodness comes from within and flows outward.
@SansAuthoritas That's a good response, too. You must Choose or you a clockwork orange. And it's not that people don't know what is just, but you have to care to chose it. Do you feel the Political system in the Bible looks closer to a constitutional monarchy or a Federalist republic in spirit? I see both there.
@crazykev5 I think Libertarianism is pretty awesome but like every philisophical or political view it can be taken out of context and too far. The libertarians that claim tax is theft and restrictions on speed limits on public roads is against their liberty are kind of pompus tools that fail to recognise the full implications of their positions but the ones that say corporations are not people and government cannot tell us how to live I agree with
CollegeBinary, a brilliant little man on Youtube discussing philosophy who has something useful to say, says it wittily and efficiently, and who, unlike most dicks who take it upon themselves to discuss philosophy, is not a pretentious asshole that is full of shit.
it was Locke who based the American constitution about guns. his principle behind it was that people have the right to get rid of a government that is not acting in the interest of the people. however are americans really using their guns so that they can overthrow the government- no. and of course not its ludicrous
.....into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. Wars are no longer waged by the will of superior men, capable of judging dispassionately and intelligently the causes behind them and the effects flowing out of them. The are now begun by first throwing a mob into a panic; they are ended only when it has spent its ferine fury. - H. L. Mencken
this video was perfect until the very end when you decided to group John Locke in with Ron Paul supporters. Ron Paul supporters are not even true libertarians. They are authoritarian pukes who they treat Ron Paul as their infallible dictator.
@CollegeBinary I don't mean to criticize, but I think this channel would do much better to educate people about philosophers instead of provide very blunt opinions of them. Just a thought.
The irony is that while Locke believed in liberty for the individual within the state, he was a Hard Determinist - he believed that humanity was completely inept in decision making in that our upbringing and experiences have shaped our character to the extent that whatever decision we make would be as a result of our character alone.
Hence the analogy of the locked darkened room - we cannot leave it even if we wanted to.
That was awesome and simple but its actually life liberty and property. When written in the declaration of Independence it was rephrased to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
2:02 Pursuit of Property. Property being physical property as well as the free-will to do things that you want, as long as it doesn't hurt the life, liberty, or property of another.
Locke wrote of the individual rights to LIfe, Liberty and Property. It was Ben Franklin who suggested the phrase "pursuit of happiness" be used in the Declaration of Independence.
@shamgar001 the exact opposite, their protesting what you just said. They want smaller government and therefore less government interference (on individuals). They want a better and more sound economy, such as one backed by gold and silver.
@jdavem2012 Based on what I've seen and heard, that's not the case. I hear lots of calls for higher taxes, more regulations, bailouts of student debt, etc, and not just from major news sources, but from the protestors themselves.
I know there are a lot of anarcho-capitalists and libertarians there, but they certainly aren't the majority.
Knowledge is a means to an end. The mind is an evaluator. The end is humanistic Quality. The meaning of Life is to stay alive. Living well is the best revenge.
There is no such thing as knowledge that precedes observation. This statement represents the very fault line between Skinner-Ian objective/material psychology, and, the Gestalt cognitive subjective side of psychology. Nature vs nurture. Kant distinguished between the things of the world, The NUMINA. and the concepts stored as memory sensations in the epiphenomena of the mind, The Phenomena. And their all BOLD as LOVE.
@rgaleny Sorry, but you, and Locke, are certainly wrong on this point. A great example of extrasomic information, illuminated by Carl Sagan, is that Pacific Islanders had snake nightmares... before they ever even knew that there was such real creatures. The templates and instincts from our past are hardwired into our brains. Adolescent males don't "learn" to be sexually stimulated by mature females of the same species. When the hormone switch turns on, a rough template is pushed to the fore.

@nirvanachile24 The Confederates fired first. And they had very peculiar ideas about exactly who were to be allowed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
@Pi10sco They also had peculiar ideas about their tax dollars being used to subsides big rail road companies, but you don't hear that part of the story much. The American Revolutionaries fired first as well. The victors are always the heros. If the confederacy won, history would have been written differently.
@cooljj82 I think the Confederates did awfully well in promoting their spin on events (e.g. the Lost Cause). Even though they lost the war, they won the peace big-time. If you don't believe me, try reading Eric Foner on Reconstruction.
@moinsimion Then we need to put those in power who don't pander to the lobbyists i.e. Ron Paul and others who are true statesmen. If they pander they are thrown out. This will only work though if the majority of the voters understand the problem however.
@residentzombie Everyone ends up as a lobbyist. Thats just how human beings are. And also, noone can make everyone in his country happy, so why not try anarchy?
@blahmonster1234 "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? I thought Locke's original idea was not happiness, but property." You're right but in Locke's term of property he also uses it to define a person's interest or aspiration as well as owned property. Thus the conclusions of pursuit of happiness.
The fact that adults are thinking of this "john locke" from lost without even knowing the historical John Locke saddens me a bit. Ah well at least people are learning.

@blahmonster1234 I second that. Declaration of Independence said property until they realized that this would be used as a pro-slavery basis. methinks.
America was NOT created with the idea of separation of powers, or ANY powers; rather, ALL power exists in the PEOPLE of the individual state, and government DERIVES its power by their consent, having none of its own.
Unfortunately this has been suppressed for 150 years, and so the sheeple believe that somehow they have power, even though the government is the supreme and final authority. They're just on a wild goose=chase.
It’s true that’s how Locke divined “all men are created equal”, but you don’t have to use the tabula rasa as an argument for such belief—AMACE is a deistic/Quaker concept of all human souls in the image of the same parental Creator. As for Hobbes, the idealists countered him with Man having a dual nature, ½ human, ½ animal, and it’s his choice which is in control (of course, not much mystery which is in control nowadays).
More like you just need the Hobbesian premise that people will JUDGE others in their OWN self-interest, and therefore they must be PRESUMED equal just on that basis alone.
For example, consider the global modus operandi of jingoism and bigotry-- as well as plain old generosity-bias and primary attribtion-error-- simply because it's in everyone's self-interest to consider themselves superior-- as with all cultural ethnocentricity.
Divine equality recognizes equality in GOD'S eyes.
@RideMyBMW I am a right-wing libertarian who believes in civil liberty and the free market. I used to call myself a socialist. What happened? I read 'Das Kapital'.
John Locke believed all humans were entitled to life, liberty, and property, not the pursuit of happiness. The founding fathers of our country changed the word "property" to "pursuit of happiness" only because they needed money for taxes. lol
maybe someone has already written it but doesn't the separation of powers come from Montesqieu? however, congratulations for your videos and waiting desperately for the REAL Nietzsche one. :)
maybe someone has already written it but doesn't the separation of powers come from Montesqieu? however, congratulations for your videos and waiting desperately for the Nietzsche one. :)
@soulessENERGY It was actually a nod to libertarians, indicating that their political philosophy is closely aligned with that of Locke and thus that of the founders. The whole "bomb shelter" thing was making fun of the perception many people have of libertarians.
ug im freking out i have a esay do tomorow on the enlightenment and i need one more paragraph witch is the conclusion and i have to write my opinion on how the philosophers chenged the western thought UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG HELP
Locke didn't say ''life, liberty and persuit of happiness''. he said ''life liberty and property''. Thomas Jefferson changed it to ''persuit of happiness'' in the declaration of independence.
I always thought that Locke believed humans were naturally good. but i agree with the blank slate thing, we take in what we see as normal in our first years of life. If its violence that will come naturally to a person in the future. If not then they will be disturbed by violence and most likely be a good person
Locke's actually was saying that men have the right to life, liberty, and property. Thomas Jefferson was actually the one to use pursuit of happiness instead of property in the constitution. I believe one of the reasons for this was a way of avoiding any confusion with using this document as a way to promote slavery. As well as a couple other things. But mainly the slavery idea.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? I thought Locke's original idea was not happiness, but property.

@blahmonster1234 I second that. Declaration of Independence said property until they realized that this would be used as a pro-slavery basis. methinks.

America was NOT created with the idea of separation of powers, or ANY powers; rather, ALL power exists in the PEOPLE of the individual state, and government DERIVES its power by their consent, having none of its own.
Unfortunately this has been suppressed for 150 years, and so the sheeple believe that somehow they have power, even though the government is the supreme and final authority. They're just on a wild goose=chase.

It’s true that’s how Locke divined “all men are created equal”, but you don’t have to use the tabula rasa as an argument for such belief—AMACE is a deistic/Quaker concept of all human souls in the image of the same parental Creator. As for Hobbes, the idealists countered him with Man having a dual nature, ½ human, ½ animal, and it’s his choice which is in control (of course, not much mystery which is in control nowadays).

More like you just need the Hobbesian premise that people will JUDGE others in their OWN self-interest, and therefore they must be PRESUMED equal just on that basis alone.
For example, consider the global modus operandi of jingoism and bigotry-- as well as plain old generosity-bias and primary attribtion-error-- simply because it's in everyone's self-interest to consider themselves superior-- as with all cultural ethnocentricity.
Divine equality recognizes equality in GOD'S eyes.

John Locke believed all humans were entitled to life, liberty, and property, not the pursuit of happiness. The founding fathers of our country changed the word "property" to "pursuit of happiness" only because they needed money for taxes. lol

@DavidEFGonzalez No at the time property was pretty much the same thing as happiness and still is to this day.

@TheCouragousGirl That's not necessarily true, David Gonzalez was right in his reasoning for why Jefferson changed the wording.

soulessENERGY 3 months ago 2
@soulessENERGY It was actually a nod to libertarians, indicating that their political philosophy is closely aligned with that of Locke and thus that of the founders. The whole "bomb shelter" thing was making fun of the perception many people have of libertarians.

Locke didn't say ''life, liberty and persuit of happiness''. he said ''life liberty and property''. Thomas Jefferson changed it to ''persuit of happiness'' in the declaration of independence.

I always thought that Locke believed humans were naturally good. but i agree with the blank slate thing, we take in what we see as normal in our first years of life. If its violence that will come naturally to a person in the future. If not then they will be disturbed by violence and most likely be a good person

Locke's actually was saying that men have the right to life, liberty, and property. Thomas Jefferson was actually the one to use pursuit of happiness instead of property in the constitution. I believe one of the reasons for this was a way of avoiding any confusion with using this document as a way to promote slavery. As well as a couple other things. But mainly the slavery idea.
