Goodwin on the Freedom to Fail

Michael Goodwin discusses his essay on the dangers of losing the freedom to fail from the book New Threats to Freedom. When youth sports matches have no clear winners or losers, what are the players really learning? Wouldn't a world where failure didn't exist at all be wonderful? Goodwin explains why any attempt to eradicate failure is actually an attack on the freedom to succeed.

Does no one else notice that this video's opening lists single women as a threat to freedom along with cyber-derangement, young stalinists, and complacency???

Yikes.

Watch out! Single women are coming to take down freedom with their false innocence backed by libertarian isolation and the European union's young Stalinists. The thing about this video that misses the mark is kids are falling. I'm going to college in Savannah GA, the literacy rate here is 51%!! The rate is worse than at the turn of the 20th century.

An actual STARGATE/PORTAL-THING was captured on film. The footage can be found within the short-film entitled "SUDDEN PORTHOLE", which is currently parked at the PROJECT CAMELOT YouTube page (it's under the George Noory video).

I'm not selling anything...I'm just trying to spread the word about the unseen-dimensions we find ourselves embedded in.

My BLOG contains the peripheral data regarding the movie and is where I reply to the "debunkers" (use search words "Sam Zurick" & "BLOG"). THANKS!!

The philosophy for measuring success with failure is an academy failure in it self. If parents properly guide their children in their studies they will arrive at success with-out a chain of failures.

@nehemie17 Hahaha wow. Exactly what about single women did the book say was a threat to freedom? I don't see the correlation. 

[nehemie17]

@ryanmshepard92 haha I am. Posting it up on my blog. Good luck to you!

[nehemie17]

@Furthest1 It actually is listed in the book as a threat to freedom. I got a copy in order to read more on Goodwin's claim for a scholarship. "Single Women as a Threat to Freedom" bit was right before Goodwin's. It's ridiculous, haha.

[ryanmshepard92]

Anyone else just responding to this for a scholarship?

[Furthest1]

@nehemie17 I saw that too and was a little freaked out. But I think it was just part of a longer statement, and it got cut off by the side of the screen. I doubt anyone thinks single women are a threat to freedom.

This is a horrible statement about the American Dream. I agree that there should not be so much entitlement but this video is an attack on anyone who makes less than $100,000/year; the middle class, and the low class workers who are working like slaves to satisfy the needs and bottom line of the corporate pundits like Goodwin who have destroyed this country. People are entitled to respect, a job, and happiness. This is a statement against the workers who fill his pockets with money.
