Don't listen to what these people write. Their only defense is to call you names because they have no other basis so they revert to name calling. I think your brilliant and i would rather listen to people like you than the so called "experts"! There is no possible way to make everyone happy so you just keep doing what you are doing and keep the videos coming!

Thanks. I needed help to go to sleep.

@FrankAndCandid You're discussing a topic you're outright illiterate in. If you'd like to discuss economics or capitalism, please learn about them first. You don't understand what profit and loss are or their functions, you try to establish authority over your political opponents via assertion ("whether you like it or not..."), misunderstand both "motivation" within capitalism AND the effects of "greed", and, finally, you're oblivious to the libertarian critique of the EPA, right or wrong. lol

A little too long for the common viewer, but you completely smashed this "expert" guy. The ending was great too but I don't think everyone watched long enough to see it.

[FrankAndCandid]

"Free market" capitalism (deregulated, unfettered capitalism), profit-is-everything motivation goes hand-in-hand with greed. Greed does not serve the people, and whether you like it or not, you are part of the "collective" (one of the people), so WE have the right to prevent another person's greed from harming US, and you must admit that many "capitalists" readily did things to harm us in the interest of profits. Who was the right-winger who recently said we should abolish the EPA?

I liked everything you had to say until you got to climate change. What is being said is that greenhouse gases harm the ozone, and man is creating too much of them too fast. Some think that cows create more. But I would lock myself in a barn with 50 farting cows before I would with one car with the engine running.....

@karlschenkable think about it like this, you have identical twins that are orphans, one gets adopted by a very wealthy family, is the eldest of his siblings, has a great education, bla bla bla,

the other didn't turn out so lucky, has to get a job at 16 and doesn't do so well in an undereducated life.

I would argue that the difference in wage the luckier one has doesn't belong to him as he had no control of the factors that gave him that difference. you seem to disagree, why.

[flyingturtle22]

@karlschenkable

the reasoning doesn't follow. The last two statements are statements without anything to support them. the one before that, the psychological effort he's talking about has nothing to do with the psychological effort we use for survive. the context is relevant because a persons psychological effort is partly determined by their surroundings, so why would they own something they had no part in producing.

@flyingturtle22

Okay, sorry for the late response. I don't check my inbox very often.

To the point, a person's psyche is effected/formed by several factors, of which culture is one. Ultimately it is an amalgamation of many influences, from parents, friends, and intellectual pursuits. But this is irrelevant as psychological effort in this context refers to willing ones self to act in order to survive. Your own mental exertions can not belong to anyone or anything. You can only own what results.
