@someguy3sg3 I fully agree, I was trying to think of where I'd heard some of these idea discussed before, thank you for pointing it out. The only problem is that it would seem we are the minority that has heard this, analyzed it, and come to a conclusion about it; besides the speaker. The end result is that the people who really should hear this (i.e. politicians that can make these changes), don't, and as a result there is little to no progress made.

This speaker is obviously smart, but he's only beginning to touch on a subject people like Murray Rothbard and Ludwig von Mises worked out decades ago.

Profit is happiness. Volunteering and helping people are profitable. Achieving "purpose" IS "profit motive." This is why libertarians say "incentives matter" rather than "money matters"

4. This makes a good point about the internet and open source software -- programmers doing work for free on their own: internet and software are the closest things to a free market we have today, and this is where we see the most prosperity and volunteering and least "greedy bankers" and such.

1. The Federal Reserve Bank actually IS a "socialist" group. Dead giveaway: central economic planning

2. "You probably want to do something interesting -- let me just get out of your way" -- isn't this the "de-regulation" argument?!

3. Charity is NOT a "strange economic behavior." Maybe it's news to statists (people that prefer the state centrally control most big/important things), but any libertarian understands this: profit does NOT simply mean money.

There are LAYERS of things in my life that this helps explain! YouTube has no space for them all...
