ok, first of all Richard Dawkins is a moron statheist.
Second of all, I'm a vegetarian, almost vegan and dont eat any animals or seafood.
Your arugment I find illogical, you say babies aren't an arguments because they are potential adults. Well what else could they become? Yet you weave a tangled web with Richard Dawkins crappy metaphor, and talk about rothbards argument being flawed on potentiality? Rediculous lol!
Anyways, love your channel and am subbing, mises ftw!
Natural rights is species bound, so all members of a species will have the same rights. So the cut-off would be the ancestor that could not mate with current humans, provided that ancestor was not denied fertility.

I should've clarified "mental construct"

@stealthswimmer What do you mean not objective just because it's a human construct? Cars are human constructs and they're pretty objective, right?

@Mastikator
Not necessarily. You could simply just explicitly acknowledge that rights are human constructs. Thus they are not objective.

great vid. agreed that it wasn't Rothbard's strongest point and that his reasoning was uncharacteristically weak on animal rights.

have you read A Libertarian Replies to Tibor Machan's 'Why Animal Rights Don't Exist' by David Graham?

Exposing an argument as poor and disagreeing with it are two different things, it's our intellectual responsibility to understand this.

Agree 100% with Rothbard critique. Rothbard laid forth a complete nonsequitur.
