 One of the real alarming things, but you see it over and over again for years now, from the left, from the kind of Marxist left, is the attitude towards work. So I've been getting these questions, right, from students or young kids. And the question basically boils down to, why should I work? I don't want to work. I want to pursue my hobbies. I want to have fun. I don't want to work. And it's like, what? It's so, it's so weird. Now, where does that come from? It comes from Marxist's vision of a utopia. So in the Marxist utopia, you don't have to work. In the Marxist utopia, all the material needs that we have and needs here for Marx would include the iPhone, would include everything you need to be successful, to be, to live successfully, quote, right, is just provided because, partially, because capitalism has been so successful, right, Marx would say, right. But capitalism has been successful in producing stuff. Then the parliamentarians take it all over. They automate it. It's all robots now. So this is the utopia. It's all robots. So all this stuff we need is being produced. Doesn't require human thinking and human effort. You know, unless you want to go into that field, and then it's fine. And then everybody gets to do what they want. So in a Marxist utopia, you don't, it's not like nobody does anything. What you do is you pursue your hobbies. Like everybody has a hobby and everybody pursuits their passion and everybody's happy and floating around and, you know, it's just wonderful. And the stuff you need just appears. It's like manna from heaven. It just drops and it arrives. And if you want to be a work, if you want to go and build stuff with your hands, you can do that. If you want to start a business, you can do that. You just can't have employees, you know, to each according to his ability from each according to his means. But you can do the activity, right, theoretically. And the one thing Marx never explains is how we get from what we are today to that utopia. Like the dictatorship of the proletarian, that party skips over, right. He describes it says, this is what has to happen. And then he goes to the utopia part. And so they take the utopia part as well. Of course, we don't want to work. We don't want to have a job. We don't want to have to produce stuff. The world is rich enough for stuff just to be provided to us. And it's like no sense that production requires effort. Production requires a mind. Production requires thought. Production requires, you know, people to actually go to work. Work in the broadest sense. And that they want to just skip to this utopia without having to do anything. And it's, I don't remember 10 years ago, people having that attitude. This seems like a new, like the left has adopted this new tactic of promising young people the utopia tomorrow. Like Marx, you had to go through a revolution. There was a whole process, right. And ultimately over a long time, which he never explained, you get to this. But they want to know right now, tomorrow. I remember a few years ago at the University of Texas, this kid came to the microphone and said, why should I work? There's enough wealth in the world just to provide me for the living. It was like, why should I provide you with a living? Because I don't want to work. It's my right. And it's one of the most bizarre of all the kind of questions, attitudes that I find out there. Because it just goes against what we know about reality, everything we know. It's kind of a metaphysical issue, right. For human beings to survive, we have to shape our environment. To shape our environment, we have to work. That work requires effort, requires thinking, requires changing the stuff out there. And some people don't get that. I think most people do. I don't think it's hugely popular, but there's a signal. The ones that are vocal, the ones that are passionate about their Marxism, that's where they are. They're at that level of women worshipping. I don't want to work. I actually do want to work. That's what part of my answer was, no, you should find something you love doing. And go do it. You know, work is not a burden. Work should be fun, exciting, thrilling. You should get up in the morning excited about going to work. It's sad that you're not. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual, would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning, any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, wins, or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult 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 roads.
