 What do you think about mandates the way masks? I have been resisting resistant to it because that's my default position whenever I see what might be Expansion of state power now I'm questioning that I'm against Mandates the way masks government mandates the government should not mandate wearing masks unless you know in a government facility But you the government cannot should not mandate wearing masks, but of all the things to resist This is what drives me nuts The government mandates you pay 50% of your income we play along They come in mandates that you pay property tax otherwise They'll confiscate your home and we play along the government mandates that you can't get a drug because it hasn't been Proved to the nth degree to be to be able to cure your disease that you're dying of anyway And we just play along the government mandates a million different things that you do every day and you just succumb you just you just You know lay down and let them tromp all over you, but God forbid they mandate you wear a mask That's where you're gonna draw the line. I mean at least in the tea party era They try to draw the line on social life medicine. All right. That's a real issue But here the line is being drawn in a way as to hurt yourself Because it's rational to wear a mask it makes sense to wear a mask It's like a seat belt. Now. Do I like the fact that the government mandates seat belts? No All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna ask that you guys stop sending super chat questions Unless you're willing to have me answer them in different day another day because I can't do anymore today So do I like the fact that the government mandates me not wearing a seat belt me wearing a seat belt? No, I don't like the fact that the government mandates it But am I not gonna wear a seat belt just to go now to the government? No, because it makes sense to where she built And the mask is exactly the same thing it makes sense to wear masks not because Trump told you God do one reason I wouldn't wear mask is because Trump now embraces masks, but because it just makes sense If you're sick and you and the stuff coming out of your mouth That might make somebody else sick then why would you want to make somebody else sick if you wear a mask? The the stuff in your mouth can't reach them and if somebody else is not wearing a mask and spewing his Viruses all over the place the mask is not a perfect barrier But it's a barrier it Reduces the likelihood you will get the virus and reduces the likelihood You'll get a virus in a load and a viral load that'll make you very sick so there's just no medical scientific argument not to wear a mask and finally if you look at Asia Where the virus has not had a massive impact then? Everybody wears masks and you think that's an accident you think it's an accident that everybody's wearing a mask and Now they've dealt with it in other ways much better than the US and much better than the West But look at South Korea Taiwan Hong Kong Singapore Japan The oldest population in the world highly concentrated in a city Lots of public transportation very few deaths from coronavirus one to some extent. I think it's because not all some extent because they wear masks so Stop being such a tribalist and stop thinking for yourself And yes, the government mandated and they shouldn't Alright, but that's not where you draw the line. This is where you're gonna fall in your sword Literally, you're gonna commit suicide because the government mandated that you do something you should do anyway What we need today what I called a new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think Meaning any man or woman who knows that men's life must be guided by reason By the intellect not by feelings wishes women's or mystic revelations Any man or woman who values his life and who does not get want to give in to today's of the stare cynicism and impotence and does not Intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist All right before we go on reminder, please like the show.
