 evils of free market capitalism. Inequality, aristocracy, those people has made me so despised. There is more to it than just this. Why is my background not working? We just knew it wasn't going to go well, there it is. Alright, it's been a while since we've seen that intro hasn't it fellas? I'm going to assume you can all hear me by the way. In the last 10 minutes I've had to completely set all of this up from scratch because I've had a new computer. It's been so long since I've done one of these fucking things. I've got a new computer since then I've lost all my streaming settings so this has all been set up on the fly in 10 minutes. Normally it's always audio issues I have. Guys are talking about cats. I'm going to assume then you can hear me. Someone said cringe intro, worshipping fiat money too much. I completely understand where you're coming from but I have a solution. If you send me all your fiat money I promise you it will be disposed of. I'll take it off your hands and do the work for you. Don't even worry about it. Don't need to thank me. Just send a super chat. It's right there on YouTube. It's all you need. Speaking of sorting shit out on the fly as well. Normally I have a screen where you can see my screen. Currently we don't have one up and running so I'm going to try and make one right now and you're going to be able to watch the process unfold. Right in front of your very eyes as I try and cobble this shit together to bear with me. It's going to be very hodge podge. And I think this is going to be roughly right. Look at that beautiful. Yeah fuck it that looks good. Alright. So that works. I don't have a hotkey set up either so we're going to be real boomer flicking back and forth between these two screens. So sketch this is what you come here for. You didn't expect things to work properly did you? Yes I will take all your money don't worry about it. The easiest thing Joker did was burn Fiat money. I'll take that as true because I have a confession right here right now. I haven't seen Joker yet. Make of that what you will maybe I'm a... I was about to say the I word but after what happened in this country like last week I can't... I don't want to be saying that word right now. Do I know how to get rid of a fruit fly infestation? You burn your entire house down. There we go. Ali2567 getting rid of his Fiat money to a good cause. What okay I'll start off with your question then. Oh my god and another one. See it's working it's all working. Okay friend Ali here. Also I don't have my alerts popping up on the screen right now. Sorry about that. I don't know where my alerts actually went. No idea. So I'm just going to have to read out the questions that come through in donations and hope I catch them. If someone donates and I don't catch it you need to scream at me in the chat. Have no other way of knowing. So Ali saying what do I think of the military? Do you think that we need a military to defend trade and capitalism? Man you know what we're going to we're returning to tradition already aren't we? And I'm going to tell you to read Chaos Theory by Bob Murphy. It's a very very complicated topic. It's all to do with incentives and how much it would cost for a giant military to try and take over. A small country. There's a lot of logistics to go into this question that I should have I should have fucking read Chaos Theory before I do this Q&A again. Because I can't do it justice off the top of my head. So for your $4.99 I'm afraid I'm going to defer you to Bob Murphy. The man's got a PhD and I'm good at editing videos. So other people in chat if you are more familiar with Chaos Theory off the top of your head feel free to answer it. And I'll try to get back to that. And thank you to Ander Garcia Aguierre. I'm going to guess. I convinced you thank you for doing this public service. The pleasure is all mine. I'll take this on my shoulders in the name of the greater good. Okay so I'm going to do this scuffed way of transferring over to this screen. I'm going to get on to our first question. Sam Dee. I had a lefty friend of mine ask what's the difference between taxation and profit. Love the videos man keep up the good work. Well thank you very much Sam Dee. There's a few different ways to answer this because it should be pretty fucking obvious. But if you taxation and profit. Okay right. You are paid a wage for let's say working at Walmart. Your wage is paid in advance of any profit that is made. Regardless if you stack the shelf and nothing on that shelf sells during that week you still get paid for that week. Even though the company hasn't made any money off your labor. That is how you can say that surplus value doesn't really exist. Given that all value is subjective. And you need surplus value to exist to say it's theft. Well I'm sorry it doesn't. You are paid for things that might not even make a profit. That is why you don't get as much money as the CEO. Because you are deferring risk in order to be paid an advance on future profit that hasn't been made yet. You can't get profit off of something that hasn't been sold. And you are paid normally regardless of things sell or not. If you were a self-employed that would not be the case. If you were a door-to-door salesman you own all your stock yourself. If you don't sell any of your stock you get no money. But if you do sell all of your stock you'd get more money than if you just worked in a vacuum store or whatever it is you're selling door-to-door. So that is first of all why profit is not theft. But secondly if you say you shop at Walmart for your groceries every week. If you stop going to Walmart and stop giving them your money what's going to happen to you? Nothing? You're going to go somewhere else? Cool okay you stop paying your taxes and decide you don't want any government services. What's going to happen to you? You can't go anywhere else. You'll be put on a no-fly list. You're going to fucking jail. I don't understand how you could possibly compare lower risk for lower return through a wage job rather than a self-employment to a gun at your head saying give me money now or I'm going to kill you. So there's my answer to that. I hope that serves you well. Scuffed transition again. Sven Ceylon. Ceylon? I'm going to assume it's Ceylon. That sounds French but then a Scandinavian first name. How do you respond to critics when they bring up the problem of planned obsolescence or the general decline of product quality in free market economies? Definitely two separate questions. One first of all, planned obsolescence. I'm not too sure. That isn't something I've heard been critiqued too much. I know what it is. It's the idea that your iPhone deliberately gets slower over time so that you're incentivized to buy another iPhone. I'd wonder if our culture of inflation and low interest rates contributes to that quite highly. I'm sure it probably does. A culture which incentivizes rapid spending on kind of useless material goods rather than saving. It's probably got a part to play in that. We're incentivized with our money to be repetitive consumers and not savers, not business starters, not wealth generators, just earn and spend. If companies are just going to try and speed that already occurring process up, then they're obviously just trying to latch on to another problem. That problem is the consumerism of inflation and low interest rates where savers become losers. For the general decline of product quality in free market economies, I feel as an absolute non-starter. That sounds like feels over reels essentially. I feel like product quality was better back in the day. You have no basis to go off that with. I've never seen this being made as an empirical claim because quite frankly it's absurd for us to try and claim in our cushy little lives that we have here that we're so hard done by and all of our products are so crap. I feel like that's just so much of a stretch. It's not salient. Salient? Salient? Salient I think is the word I want. So I hope that answers your question there Sven and I hope I got your last name right. Now, Satchit. I see you on Twitter my dude. Thanks for liking all my shit. Someone has to. Thoughts on Nick Land's philosophy of accelerationism as a means to anarcho-capitalism. Now, I've heard of Nick Land. He's often thrown in a lot with Curtis Yavin, known as Menchius Moldbug, as being one of the two biggest guys currently around for the NRX neo-reactionary philosophy. I was absolutely not aware that Nick Land sought accelerationism as a means to anarcho-capitalism. I thought as a neo-reactionary he wouldn't be too concerned. Even though I know NRX and Ancap isn't exactly mutually exclusive, Hopper is kind of the connecting link there, even though he's kind of... He's not explicitly on their side but makes a lot of the same points. So I don't know. I for one am not in favour generally of accelerationism for reasons I might have to make a whole specific video about. So I'm not sure. I'll look into that. Nick Land just seems like a real weird one. You know the schizo memes of... I don't even know how to explain it. The schizo remix of somebody I used to know by... What's that fucking guy's name? He reminds me of them. But anyway, I don't know about it. So I'll look into it. It sounds interesting for sure. User name. That's an interesting username. What are your thoughts on the concept of resource-based economies slash post-scarcerities economies and the Venus Project? I'm not sure what you've just talked about there. Well, first of all, I don't know what the Venus Project is. By resource-based economies, do you mean a barter economy? Which is kind of... a barter economy is a weird contradiction in the first place. Post-scarcity, that's a joke. Scarcity cannot be eliminated. It's quite literally just a simple fact that our universe is not... Well, what is available to us? Time. Time for one is not infinite. We have a scarce amount of time on this Earth. We need our time to be able to produce things. We need materials to be able to produce things. There's no such thing as an infinite material. Not even air is. Yeah, there's an on-starter. I think as Rothbard puts it, it was great. In order for you to have... to drink some Diet Coke without scarcity, it would need to instantly materialize inside your stomach. Or else you are expending energy to pick up a can. The can is made out of scarce materials. You're using scarce energy and scarce time to lift that can to your mouth and then again to swallow it. That is all involving scarcity. There's no such thing as post-scarcity. It's... I don't know. It's post-realism. It's post-existence. Post-universe nonsense. So I hope that clears that one up for you. SH with a good old Ludwig von Mises as your profile picture. They're big respect. This question has been annoying me lately and I haven't found an answer to it. Can Hopper's defense of monarchy relative to democracy, good brackets there, be used to call fascist states superior to democracy? Now that... I'm not too sure. I would say because a dictator is consumed by ideology, it probably throws all of their incentives out of whack. A monarch, if we think of the general European term, is not obsessed with forcing an ideology on the people under their control. They literally just want to live and let live be as prosperous as they can. And they'd be wise if they realized that letting people prosper is taking a step back, lifting your hands up and just letting them get on with it. Not the case of a fascist dictator whatsoever. It's very easy to see that fascism is actually worse than democracy. I don't think democracy is the worst system ever. It's just I'd say the worst one that we fucking worship throughout the West because it's the only one we have. And you can get into the argument then of how much of a fascism is comprised of socialism. And what would be the point in saying you have a socialist monarch that's an oxymoron? The incentives of socialism are contrary to the incentives of monarchy. And the incentives of socialism are contrary to the incentives of say anarcho-capitalism. That's why I make the point that if we're going to push ourselves in the right direction, where should we be going? And if we look at the incentives, it's pretty obvious. It's not towards a mixed state, a mixed economy, which is what fascism is, a mixed economy dictatorship. That is not a typical European hands-off-ish monarchy. All right. Northumbrian isk. I guess you're up north and proud of it. Oh no, we're talking about Plymouth. This is what I was trying to avoid the I word for. In light of the disgusting shooting in Plymouth, a disturbing reaction was people who, instead of trying to commemorate the dead, immediately jumped to demanding even stricter gun laws. Do you think this incident spells the end for the already tiny amount of gun ownership in the UK? Well, I only looked into this like immediately as it happened. And I don't remember if they said at the time whether the weapon... So the guy had a weapons license or firearms license. And I don't remember if the shotgun he used in the shooting was compliant under the license and legal, basically. I don't remember that. So someone remind me in the chat if you know if that's the case. If Lucy's here, I'm going to guess he would know about it. Well, you're absolutely right. It's these tragedies wherever they may occur are immediately the graves are trampled over by people using it as a political football. Immediately to try and bear past some sort of agenda, get everyone scared, get them all motivated to go out and vote and blame the other party for all the issues of the world. Never let a good crisis go to waste. That's what a bloody revolutions love to say all the time. Speaking of which, go listen to his podcast because I was on it. And will it get rid of all gun ownership in the UK? Now, I'm not too sure. I saw a headline recently that Pretty Patel wants to add a medical check to the background check that goes into a firearms license. I'm like, I think that's already compulsory, unless she means like, have you got asthma as if that's like relevant to owning a gun in any way? I don't think it's going to see we're going to see any sort of actual confiscations. I don't think we're going to see any tighter rules on what actual ownership of firearms involves, but it's probably going to become harder to get the license, but I don't see a point in getting the license anyway. It's ridiculous. There's no point in having a firearm license for most of the firearms you can get your hands on. The only thing you can do anything with is a shotgun and that'll be why he used a shotgun if he owned it legally. Hey, got another donation coming in the only Patrick. I've seen you in the chat a bit, my dude. I get through the questions on my post before I go through chat, but I always bump up donations to the top. Bloody, you've got your money's worth and ask three questions in one. Okay, but these are easy questions. Have to answer these. So thank you again for the donation £5. You guys give me a warm welcome back already. I love it. And again, I'm doing you all a favor by disposing of your evil fiat currency. You shouldn't want it. Have I got eczema tower power? No, I don't. I'm normal. I'm not deficient. I'm not subhuman. Anyway, the only Patrick. One, are you a nationalist? I guess if you were to say opposed to globalism, I'd prefer some sort of decentralization over total worldwide centralization. Nationalists has a different meaning and different contexts. Don't forget an Irish nationalist and a Scottish nationalist are not the same as an American nationalist. The Irish and Scots are nationalists because they want to be their own separate nation and not part of the United Kingdom. In which case you could say, well, I mean, that's got nothing to do with race. That is a completely different meaning. I would prefer nationalism over globalism. But in terms of the other connotation that nationalism normally comes with, which is normally like militarism. Yeah, you know, you know all the connotations I mean. Generally, no, it can it can easily lead to bad things if it's not used as a tool for decentralization. As long as it's a tool for decentralization. Yes, I'd rather have that than not. But there are there are many, many other problems that come with it. That's an interesting question. I'm reading the Bible at the moment because I'm trying to find out if I am. I've been an agnostic and a deist for a very long time, accepting like, well, Christians say that their religion is true and they know everything. Agnostic atheists say they know everything. I mean, neither of them are really true. They're both really narcissistic and arrogant in making that sort of claim. So for the years and years, I've been at that point of saying, I don't have any fucking answers. I'm just going to live a good life and see what happens. If I live a good life and I get sent to hell, then heaven wasn't worth trying to get into. So I'm still there and I'm reading the Bible and I'm finding it very far more interesting than I thought I would. And especially the historicity in terms of the actual historical legitimacy of the New Testament happening. That has blown my mind away. So I've got Theo the first saying, you're agnostic too. Look into that. Look up. Shit, what's the video? There's a guy called a 10 minute Bible hour, which I think is a nice name. There's something about like, did Jesus exist? And he goes through all the historical unbiased Roman sources saying like there's a guy called Jesus running around in Judea causing a load of problems. We need to crucify him. And that was to me was just like, whoa, hang on. There's actual historical records of this man existing that I've just taken to be like a fairy tale all this time. I found it super interesting. So look into that. Thoughts on minicism. I am living proof of the adage, the difference between a minicist and an anarchist is six months. If you go back and listen to the e-militia podcast from their first episodes, I held out for so long saying, no, I'm a minicist. I'm not going to be an anarcho capitalist. There are things that the free market cannot provide. And they're the most important things. The government sucks. So let's give it all the most important things to be in charge of. I was there. Minicism does not hold up. Anyone who knows what minicism is knows at least what an anarcho capitalism is. And at that point they're doomed. They're going to become it. If you know what minicism is, I mean, you're that far down the rabbit hole that your own arguments can be turned against you so easily. And you won't be a minicist for long. If you really get into a lot of talks with some intelligent people. That's what happened to me. Six months is pretty much exactly how long it lasted from when I said I'm a minicist to becoming an anarchist. And where do I get news and which libertarians do you listen to? I'm going to assume if you mean like podcasts and stuff. But where do I get news? Generally, just fucking following people on Twitter. Something will happen and everyone starts talking about it. That's one way to know about events. I don't watch TV. I follow a few unbiased or at least kind of unbiased news accounts on Twitter. Don't follow mainstream media outlets. And I know everything I need to know. I mean, come on. We wouldn't have known there was a pandemic if none of us had TVs and smartphones. There's no need for going through the established roads to get your news. No need at all. I don't know what's happening. It actually matters without any of that. Who do I listen to? My regular podcast rotations, if that's what you mean. For when I'm exercising, doing the dishes, doing work around the house, studying. Dave Smith, part of the problem. Tom Woodshaw. Of course. I'm so glad Tom's back. He's all okay. Pete Kinyones, free man beyond the wall. And I think there's, I'm sure there's one more. We just look through that. I'm forgetting that I have on like super regular rotation. There are plenty of others I listen to as well, though. Bear with me. Oh, you're welcome with Michael Malice. That's it, of course. But tower power hour with the tower gang. Go check them out. I've seen them in the chat. The guy who runs there. Hey, there you go. Same. Pick me, pick me. There you are. Go check that out, man. I'm going to tower power hour. They recently had shoe on head on their podcast. I haven't listened to that yet, but apparently they just chilled and have a good time. And that's what we like to see radicals getting along. Even if we plenty of things we disagree on, we don't need to have a shit throwing contest. And just calm down. Oh, someone said Josh Smith in the chat too. I've only listened to a couple podcast episodes of him, but I could certainly recommend him. And as well, if you all want to have a real fucking amazing time. Nick Ashley, who's on the tower power hour tower gang. What? How do you guys refer to yourselves tower power hour or tower gang? Which one is it? I'm going to say tower gang because it's easier. Nick Ashley from tower gang went on the fake attarians podcast. Now, if you listen to Tom Woods and Dave Smith, you'd have heard of people called the loser brigade. This is them. They've got their own fucking podcast. They call it the fake attarian podcast. Nick Ashley went on there and it was just beautiful. I've never seen TPH or tower gang. It's whatever. Cool. Oh, man, it may. It made my day when I watched that. Josh Smith did join in later. So Nick gave himself an intro of Metallica for whom the bell tolls. And so it's going boom. And the British guy in the fucking podcast is going. It's our Westpin star. They have no idea what's about to hit them. He fucking opens up his camera. He's got the Burger King hat on pit viper sunglasses and a red. Oh, shit. What's that pan called? I don't know what the pan is a mask. You guys know the Burger King hat, dude. He's doing a fucking cosplay of him and the entire he just took them for a ride. And it was the funniest thing I've ever seen. They are so far from any sort semblance of self awareness. And he just fucking wiped the floor with them. And then Josh Smith came in and just called them all fucking losers the whole time. It was so funny. No, it's the, uh, no, not played, not Hawaii. And it's the like fucking, you know, Mexican gangster pattern that looks like a teardrop or something. Oh, it was amazing. Oh, yeah, that was a great time. Go and listen to that. So well, that's all of the four questions. Thank you very much. The only Patrick. Hope you, uh, hope those are satisfying now. God, Paisley. Thank you. Yes. See. Tower Gang's got it. I was about to call you by your real name, but I suppose you don't want me doing that. Do you? I have power of you. All right. Let's go back to the normal questions. We've got anarchists straight to the point with that username. What do you think may exist in an Ancap society as an alternative to pilot's licenses? Well, private pilots licenses probably like just, uh, private certification boards saying that this person has had this many hours of flight training. We say they're good enough to fly. If they turn out to be incompetent, we're putting our neck on the line by giving them a seal of approval. And then would you ever let someone fly you around who doesn't have a good accredited private license to fly a plane or certification? No, you wouldn't. So all pilots are going to have to get some sort of certification and say, I know what I'm doing. And everyone who gives them those certifications is incentivized to make sure they actually do know what they're doing. I think it's something that can totally be figured out in the market. Just don't fly with people who don't know how to fly. And there will be ways to figure out who can fly and how well. So there you go. Cole Schmidt. Not a political question. What are you hoping to see changed or added to Tarkov? And what video games am I excited for? Tarkov, I'm mad. I haven't played that game in a couple of weeks. I'm just, it's such a labor of love. That's the word I always, oh no. Oh, crashing Zulu. You maybe thought the stream was crashing airline companies are fine with their million dollar planes. Yeah, they'll let anyone fucking fly. I mean, all you need to do is ask the government doesn't want you to know this, but all you need to do is ask if you can fly a plane that they'll let you. So what would I like to see changed to Tarkov? Fucking movement. When inertia gets added to the movement of that's probably when I'll come back. They said that's going to be before the next wipe. So I'm currently like level 21, haven't touched it for weeks. And I'll probably come back and make the push for level 40 when they finally add inertia. And I'm not getting shot by people just dodging in and out of doorways like it's fucking even call of duty has movement inertia. Ridiculous. And I would say the net code, but better luck fucking, I don't know, wishing for a fairy to come and give me a fucking 10 inch penis or something, but no way they're going to fix the net code. And what video game am I excited for? Battlefield 2042 hyped out of my gourd. Can't wait. It's dropping right as soon as I get back into my fucking uni assignments though for my last year of uni. So I really need to be careful and make sure that I don't drop out in my last fucking year for playing too much Battlefield. There we are. Hey, we've got Colonel Connell. I never think about saying your name. Good to see you, my man. Ah, stoic question. Okay, what's the stoic answer to getting out of really bad habits such as procrastination, staying up very late and getting up very late? Well, for starters, if you are asking that and you acknowledge that it's a really bad habit, that's, well, as they say, what is it, admittance or confession is the first step to improving? Okay, so you know that procrastinating, having a shit-sleeping schedule is bad. Okay, you know it's bad, so what are you going to do about it? My interpretation of stoicism is always very tough love. It doesn't have to be that way. You can be amazed if you sat down 10 people very knowledgeable about stoicism, ask them a question, and you'll get 10, mostly the same, but very varying different answers back. And mine is always the tough love. Mine is, you're fucking big boy. You know it's a bad habit, so what are you going to do about it? Sort yourself out. You've got Jordan Peterson as your profile picture. Just think of Jordan Peterson, tell you to clean your room, stop procrastinating, sort out your sleep schedule. Your habits define you, but you have control of your habits. I believe it was Aristotle who said, oh yeah, I quoted this in my video, I believe. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is but a habit. So develop excellent habits and you'll be an excellent person. Bad habits are hard to break, of course they are, but they're hard for a reason because it's good. If it was, there's a few things in the world that are good and easy. If you want good things, you need to work for them. You need to repeatedly apply yourself to fixing these things that you want to change about yourself and your life. And fucking get on with it. Pull your socks up, be a big boy, and go do it. That's what I say. You can find other answers, you can find softer touches, you can find more therapeutic, I want to say therapeutic, I guess that's the right word, but like an answer from a therapist. So have you ever heard of a CBT? No, no, no, not what you're thinking. Cognitive behavioral therapy. What else were you thinking? That CBT is literally stoicism in the context of a clinical psychological therapy. The creators of cognitive behavioral therapy say we were inspired by stoicism to turn this inward into psychology and use it for therapy. It's the same thing. So you can take the tough love, you can read the books and just like slap yourself on the face, splash some cold water on yourself, and go and do it, or you can get a therapist to talk to who's trained in CBT, make sure you're going to a therapist and not like a dominatrix. And yeah, there are many answers. But if my point is, if you know that what you're doing is a bad habit, what are you going to do about it? So there you go. Marcus King. What a king. Opinions on NRX. So opinions on NRX and post-libertarian praxean debate. Not sure what you mean by praxean. You could either mean praxis as in, you know, stop talking about it and go do some action or praxeology. I'd like to know which version of that you mean. And my opinions on NRX. I'm post-libertarian. I'm not sure what you mean by that either. But NRX, it's kind of like, I want to say, not sure how to describe it. They're not our enemies, I think for sure. Lots of them are interested in free market economics and returning to monarchy. So straight away, if you are, I want to say sensible. If you think along the same terms as I do, of course I like to think I'm sensible. But if you listen to my democracy video and agreed with me, you will already be on the same wavelength as me in terms of individual rights and free market economics. And so are these guys for the most part. Lots of neo-reactionaries want a monarchy that I described in my democracy versus monarchy video, in which case they're not our enemies. The trouble is like how libertarianism is a spectrum and there are lots of people on various spectrums in libertarianism. I feel like it's the same with the NRX and there are lots of people there who are blatant authoritarians. Maybe they're like some sort of syncretism with groipers and you need to be very wary of them. I think it's very pick and choose with NRX, with who you want to decide you want to ally with, people like Curtis Yavin, probably a smart ally to make. Nick Land, I would normally say no, not a smart ally to make, but as someone asked me earlier, it sounds like his accelerationism idea is to get us to anarcho-capitalism rather than monarchy. So I'll look more into that, but take it on a case-by-case basis, I'd say, with the NRX and I'm sure they'd say the same about us as libertarians. They would say there are some really cool people who are interested in monarchy incentives, the philosophy of power being realistic, not just living in fucking La La Land and then there are libertarians who want to give your kids hormone therapy. I don't blame them for being cautious with us either, but I think we can be cautious safely with them. Okay. Isaiah, how likely do you see a rapid collapse of Western society to be and are we in the same position the USSR was in the 1980s marked especially by the US loss of Afghanistan? So Afghanistan, the graveyard of empire, is rightfully known. A collapse of society, I would not say, is on the cards. Not even a collapse of government, sadly, but it is. We are, for the last five years, as the whole establishment, the state, the regime, whatever you want to call it, has been flailing widely, throwing hammers everywhere, trying to withhold the inevitable of them losing their power. It's just a continuation of that. The power of the establishment is waning, it's hurtling downhill at breakneck speeds. And well, it's hard to say that the withdrawal of Afghanistan is a symptom of that because the endless warfare is a symptom of the state prolonging its own cancerous existence. But now we've left. The response from media has been extremely interesting. Lots of people are going mask off with saying, no, we need these forever wars. We should be there for 100 years. We need to spend 100 trillion. In terms of that, but then it's hard for me to make the connects there between that and, wow, Joe Biden actually just did it. Joe fucking Biden just pulled us out of Afghanistan. Like this is some weird shit going on. I don't think it's a straight cut as just analyzing this as a one to one historical analogy. There's a lot of moving parts going on here. Moving parts who thought would be moving in the same direction are going against each other. It's all very weird. And maybe you could say that is a sign that everything's about to fucking fall apart, but I'm not sure we need to see how this continues to play out. Here's Beanie with a good insight. There are three types of NRX followers. The overly religious, the non-religious and the capitalistic ones. That's interesting. All right. You guys bear with me now. My coffee is cooled down. So I'm going to be taking some regular sips and I'll try not to like a slap into the mic even though I know you'd probably like it. I'll probably get some more donations for it. Okay. How long have I been going for? 40 minutes. Wow. This time it's flown by. I'll do a few more answers from the post and then we'll go on to taking questions from the chat. I've seen a few people very enthusiastically. That's for our private one on one. Don't you worry about it. So yeah. There's some very enthusiastic questions coming from the chat. I'll do a few more from the post then I'll get to you guys in the chat and then we'll just chill for as long as my voice will allow. All right. Col Schmidt again. Look, I'm even going to give you a like and a heart just for always being so involved in these Q&As. You little legend. It was actually, it was Cole who got me to do this Q&A again after what this like eight month absence has been. So you can all thank him in the chat now. I didn't care what you say. I took full credit for this. Okay. Right. That's what I was fucking talking about. I should have read that before I started talking. Also my currently white pilled or black pilled white pill gang forever baby. Let's go. Let's go. What are you saying? White pills. White pills. Come on. You can't be a stoic and be pessimistic. Everything is going to be the way it is and you just have to accept it. Things are going to happen. Whether or not you're going to be sad or happy about it is up to you. So within your mind, I'm never going to let this shit get to me too much. When I took the break from YouTube, it's because I got to myself too much. I've sorted out that mindset. I'm just fucking chilling now. Shit's going to happen. I'm going to talk about it. I'm going to shake my fist. It may or may not change things. It doesn't matter. Who cares? Fuck it. We're all going to die. And it's the way it's meant to be. You are meant to die. It's not an injustice that one day you're going to die. So stop acting like it and start living your life and just being happy. Hey. Oh, God, guys. I need to show you this. This profile picture. What do you think it is? That's a fucking ancom flag. And Mises is coat of arms. Wolf. Okay. I thought I'd seen everything. I feel like I'm not going to get to that question today because it's very long. I'll write a reply to that. We're running out of time here on the live stream. So let's just do more tax leave. What are your thoughts on mutualism? Kind of fitting, I suppose. Man, I used to have some real good, like economic slam dunks against mutualism, but I've kind of just forgotten them. There's a lot of issues in regards to valuation of companies. Like, yeah, fucking hell. I haven't talked about mutualism since I was like active on Instagram and I've been blocked from there for like eight months now. It's just all fell out of my head and I didn't read any of these questions before I started the stream today so I couldn't do remind myself. But what I can remember, my fundamental point was always, okay, if a mutualist is actually free market, and again, it's a spectrum of how many mutualists are communists that just don't want to sound too bad. If they are genuinely free market, if they would work with us in a hypothetical world to abolish the government and then actually let the market figure things out, I always said a good mutualist is one who says the rate of profit would be zero without the government because that is them saying, we're going to put our money where our mouth is, you put your money where our mouth is, let's abolish the government and see who's right. I have no problem with those people. They're actual free market people who just believe that in the market the profit incentive is going to be decreased, more co-ops will form, banks will lend out our minimal interest and things like that. I have no issues with those people. If they want to actually have a free market, we have a go at it and we have free market capitalism and free market mutualism competing against each other, well then whatever result wins is the one the market wanted. So brilliant we all win. I have no issues with those people. There's just a lot of mutualists that... There's a lot of people who slide to the left from anarcho-capitalist to agarist to mutualist and I think they're just chasing whatever anarchist trend is currently, I don't know, to pick it up steam because they think that there's too many anarcho-capitalists like that's not fucking true but there's too many of them I need to be special but I'm going to say I'm an agarist. There's too many agarists, I'm going to say I'm a mutualist. I just think how far left are you going to keep going until your fucking head's on a spike when you say that you want to market? Are you sure you want to be moving in that direction? So I guess there's my answer. There's three different types of mutualists, one that's actually free market, one that really isn't, the one that would put people to death for owning a private business rather than letting the market beat out private businesses that they think that's going to happen because they don't want to be caught admitting to what they really are because they're trying to appease people who hate them. Alright, two more questions including this one. Burn government property, nice. Do you watch J-Redge? If so, what do you think about him? I do not watch J-Redge. I don't have anything against him but I attribute his content to Gen Z thinking that the political compass is another fucking form of astrology and bouncing around between every political ideology that is trying to merge political ideologies together. Posadism! Nukes! Oh my god, it makes my fucking blood boil. 15 year olds who think they've all got it figured out because they've taken 10 political compass tests and each and every single one of them has given a different fucking result because they change their mind every five minutes, have no actual principles are trying to be cool and label themselves and be edgy. I attribute a lot of that to him and his take on politics like his tier lists of different political ideologies. He's very funny. I think he does like post irony if you can call it that very well. I just, oh there's just grinds my gears what the J-Redge revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for political discussion. That's what I think. Agora Supreme Are there any eastern philosophies you fancy? Philosophical Taoism is my shit. I know nothing about eastern philosophies to be perfectly honest with you. What I know about, I believe so first of all I don't know if Taoism and Taoism are different or if they're just different pronunciations of the same thing but I think what I know about Taoism is that it's a lot about balance and harmony and I've heard that it can be very interchangeable with Taoism for that reason. There's a lot of talk about balance and Taoism like there's a lot of pleasure to be found in life but there's also a lot of suffering. So if you simply accept the suffering realize that you aren't being hard done by by suffering that's just part of the deal of being a human then it has no power over you anymore you can basically ignore it and just live for the pleasure that you achieve this balance by accepting suffering not trying to defeat it because it's not something to be defeated it's something to be accepted so I think there's a lot of... ah you should learn some Buddhism they overlap heavily with Taoism too I'm not surprised I'll look into it for sure alright so that is going to be it for the post comments let's go over to the chat alright Oliver Oliver Watts is causing up a stir how dare you being so loud oh you've got a question Oli is political or personal philosophy more important? damn how do I answer that one? I think there's too many assumptions and presuppositions as to what makes something important there what I would stress people learn about is personal philosophy first and foremost I would it's far more achievable to turn most of the world stoic than an arco capitalist so start there if most of the world was stoic and they agreed with what I just said there that suffering is part of the deal with being alive the fact that you have to go through suffering in your life is not a fault of the patriarchy, the government the corporations men, women stop blaming other people for the fact that your life is hard because your life is meant to be hard if most people agreed with that we'd have a fucking far better society than we currently do which is tearing itself apart in thanks in part of course to democracy it's the aim of their game so as I know it's up to you I would say it's far if you want to in terms of learning it's probably far easier to learn personal philosophy because getting ahead around stoicism is far easier than getting ahead around like Austrian economics or Libertarian legal theory god that's a rabbit hole and it's far easier to try and convince the world of so depends what you're going for but you should learn both either way you should always be curious to know everything there is to possibly know you can sell it for the win you little fanboy alright oh my god there's some huge fucking questions in the chat jesus oh no I'll see what I've missed first of all revolutionary bruh who do you think was the best post-world war 2 US president shit oh god I'm sure there was one guy who didn't do a whole lot is it true I want to say there's a myth surrounding Truman either Truman didn't do much and people got angry at him for it or people believed Truman didn't do much but actually he did a lot of very bad things I'm sure I've heard one of those two hypotheses the criteria for a good president is right who does the least that is easily the criteria and I want to say I heard that he didn't do a whole lot which doesn't surprise me because I know nothing about the guy if you don't know anything about a king or a politician that's a good thing it means they haven't done anything bad oh Truman you Japan right okay it's not it's not him I'm thinking about then ignore that ignore that Eisenhower I don't know much about him I know I think it's hard to judge I need to answer the fucking question my god who who the hell you know what I'm gonna say fuck it and I'm gonna say JFK the CIA fucking killed him for a reason because he was going to eliminate like fucking nuke the budget of the CIA the Federal Reserve and end the wars and then brains gone so fuck it I'll say JFK died for a good cause which was limiting the government so of course he fucking died the un-elected ones were the best that's true executive order 111110 don't say that you're gonna activate Skynet what the fuck is that supposed to mean oh god what's my opinion of the American Civil War it's not the narrative is not as easy as they like to try and tell you you can find quotes of Lincoln saying I would avoid the topic of slavery altogether if I could avoid war and you had was it general Lee I think he was a confederate who said like I would get rid of every slave in the south if I could avoid this war that straight away should unless you've heard that before should like blow your fucking mind in regards to the narrative of what the Civil War was actually about and read into it more from there Beanie thoughts on Mike Mensa so far haven't got around to reading it yet I really want to get a paper copy do you know if his book is a paper copy so Mensa if anyone who doesn't know was it 1980 beanie he competed in Mr. Olympia against Arnold Schwarzenegger supposedly should have won but had it stolen from him due to nepotism the guy was an objectivist he loved Iron Rand he was you can just tell from listening to him speak he was an intelligent dude and he was fucking jacked 1988 Olympia there you go and it's on Amazon for like $25 so if you want to get absolutely fucking ripped and he says not from working out in like one hour or a week or something Mike Mensa's your boy and he was a bro loved Iron Rand have I seen nicocada avocados bottom no and I really don't want to Chamber 04 £2 oh Christ I need to be careful with what I say just so I don't get zapped so should consumption of child porn be illegal yes so now let's see if anyone kicks off at that you do so I think I saw you in the chat earlier saying should it be illegal under a libertarian society so I'm gonna well let's talk about covenant communities law without a government where communities come together and say we are going to have a set of community standards that we are going to uphold I sign here and say I'm gonna uphold it if I break it you can exile me any libertarians any covenant community that doesn't have that clause in a covenant community fuck them have nothing to do with them absolute immoral bastards they can all fucking bird in hell so then there's one way of doing it market law can drive out bad actors or at least so I noticed you say consumption because absolutely the production of it totally illegal the where people can get into arguments is the consumption of it anyone who would ever entertain the possibility of consuming it as being ethical fuck them fuck off have nothing to do with them fucking punch their face and if they kind of anywhere near you I'd like to give a more I don't know professional answer to that but I can't bring myself to so I hope that fucking like sells it somehow R99 saying can you see this yes I can oh my god I'm assuming this is a Polish name boguslav saying the best slash least bad argument for statism yeah yeah I've been asked this before I think someone asked before like what is the least convincing part of anarchism to you that's basically the same question just flipped upside down I don't know I'm pretty sure I didn't have an answer for it last time Bailey J or Buck Angel fuck I'm going to assume that those are porn stars but I've never heard of them in which case I'm probably I should be proud of myself oh Patrick again I've only just started reading the Bible from what I know it has a lot of similarities with Libertarian values for example the Ten Commandments have a lot to do with self ownership of one's body shit I just read Exodus and I'm trying to think so I have a very old fashioned translation of the Bible that I'm running through and it's making it quite hard to interpret things especially with a biased view which I would like in terms of Libertarianism I can see how you can make the case that Ten Commandments has a lot of Libertarian ethics in it but there's I'm trying to remember fuck I'm trying to remember the verse off the top of my head hang on let me see if I can google this right yes let's not have the King James version because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense here we go ESV, English Standard Version that's the one that I have oh where the f... dammit I just hang on this is far too difficult Ephesians 612 ESV here we go now let me pull it up on the screen here for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against the rulers, against the authorities against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places I hate the state and I hate the Antichrist that's what it's saying well there's another great one I haven't got to this one yet sell your cloak and buy a sword a very Libertarian point there and I recently what was it I tweeted about another one that I found I think I want to say it was Isaiah 117 or something like that but I can't remember what the quote was yep Isaiah 117 learn to do good seek justice, correct oppression bring justice to the fatherless plead the widow's cause there's a lot of very Libertarian things to be found the Bible that's for absolute for damn sure there's a reason why you can find so many Anarcho-Christians now and in the past up until for the first like 500 years of Christianity the Christian church what nothing to do with the state and then well I don't want to start ranting about Catholicism because fuck we'll be here all day I like chomp says what's your opinion on liberals not Democrats actual liberals do you mean classical liberals in which case they're all right but I lump them in with a minicus I want to kind of just like grab them by the scruff of the neck shake them about a bit and get them to see some sense using their own principles like if you believe in classical liberalism what is to stop you from believing in Anarcho-Captalism nothing but inconsistent views so you just want to like shake the inconsistency out of them but I don't hate them that's for sure on libertarian slash natural law democracy the god that failed by Hopper first of all anything by Hopper really if you want to watch something absolutely amazing watch a a talk by Andrew Napolitano from last years oh god Mises University here it is this one here taking right seriously judge Andrew P. Napolitano he was a was he a constitutional judge or a federal judge or something like that in the America for a very long time and that talk an hour long talking about natural law theory oh my god it's amazing absolutely outstanding talks about Thomas Aquinas especially as someone I've been reading learning a lot about I haven't read anything of his yet but learning a lot about and he's referenced there a lot fantastic I hate the poor based can I get a based in chat one in chat if you hate the poor Jose and Galison is doing a chapter by chapter review the anarchist handbook I've heard about that what chapter would I want to review the most what with him oh shit man I don't know I haven't yeah let's get the ones shit I don't know I've not got the anarchist handbook I don't remember who is in there off the top of my head Dave Smith did Murray Rothbard I did me I mean that apart from Murray Rothbard I'm not too interested I don't know I'm not sure how he's done these reviews I need to we've got a member in the chat look at that flexing I'll look into this review he's doing and I'll actually look into the anarchist handbook I need to get my hands on it do I have gravy on chips what like poutine oh man poutine slaps gravy on chips every now and again occasional hey R99 with a $5 donation thank you baby did I hear about the coup in oh oh my fucking god you really nearly got me there holy shit you were so close I've not heard that one before that was really good that's original I've not seen that one yet fuck me I was I was one syllable away for it being too late to go back past the point of no return god damn I've see I thought he meant Burma but ah jeez wow that was close Jesus Hueta de Soto has a whole 40 minute talk on about relation between Christianity and anarchic capitalism by god I need to listen to that I've never heard anything actually by a de Soto I've read a few things of his on Mises the institute so if he's talking about that interlinked point there I need to listen to that and of course if you are an Ancap or Austro-libertarian you need to have a lot of respect for the French and Spanish scholastics scholasticism is the theological school that Thomas Aquinas was part of and the Spanish scholastics had a particularly well I think the French go underrated in their effects on Austro-libertarian theory but Murray Rothbard especially loved the Spanish scholastics so hearing Hueta de Soto, a Spaniard talking about Christianity and anarchic capitalism yeah I'm gonna get around to listening to that absolutely Christianity is not Ancap, you're not Ancap get rekt when am I going to make a podcast if I can become a real libertarian well I've been, I've made I shouldn't said too much already but I suppose I have to go with it now I've made artwork for a podcast cause I'd like to do one I know everyone loves to joke about how many podcasts there are but uh and that's the reason why I started a YouTube channel in the first place rather than a podcast cause wow there are so many podcasts we need more YouTubers but I'm kind of I've never been the personality type for YouTube long term I should say and so I have thought about the idea of having right a far less structured thing where once a week for an hour I just talk to someone who I find interesting I want to hear their thoughts and just put it out as a podcast that's something I'm I need to figure out like how I'm gonna have the time to do this and how I'm gonna bridge like of course everyone interesting is American near enough so how am I gonna deal with the time difference oh hang on sorry I missed another donation from Chamber 04 here would you support a Pinochet coup against a socialist no government dictatorship getting rid of political politically unwanted people is not the same as covenant community exile Hopper's idea of physical removal is not throwing people out of fucking helicopters it is people all agreeing to behave a certain way not being a communist is part of that agreement and then if someone does start being a communist after they've signed a contract saying I will not be a communist then they can be exiled from the community and they can sign it they're saying right if I break any clause that I'm signing right here you can physically remove me pick someone up grab them by the arms and throw them out not the same as a government who assumes a legal monopoly over your body and your rights without any given consent executing you they are not the same thing I was an interesting point Christianity is technically compatible with any ideology I can see that but personally I think only voluntaryism is not contradicting as morals I can agree Christ promoted charity he did not promote taxation taxation and redistribution through welfare is not charity charity is done out of the goodness of your own heart by choice it's not forced out of you nothing Christ ever talked about was about force fuck it out of here what's my opinion on the academic agent slash unpopular opinions podcast man I have not listened to a a for a long time it's kind of of course I respect the guy I have no personal problems with him it's just not the sort of thing I watch his content is always very long form and if I'm going to listen to long form content I do it as a podcast I just haven't listened to his podcast maybe I will he has a lot of interesting texts a lot of things I hadn't considered before and of course for that reason a lot of things I say I disagree with but I don't think he's stupid I don't think he doesn't have his reasons for saying some of the things he does so I'll check out the podcast if it's on like Spotify or something so I can listen to it while I you know just working stuff what are my own critiques of capitalism free market capitalism none whatsoever if you want if you think that free market capitalism is just simply humans doing what humans do if you what's Milton Friedman's famous quote any god damn it what was it something like any opposition to the free market is an opposition to freedom itself so if you believe that people with too much freedom people in a free market would be bad people with freedom would be bad well then you're saying people fundamentally are bad if people are fundamentally bad how is a government which comprises of people meant to make people not be bad absolute non-starter and that is essentially capitalism it's free association and bodily autonomy what more do you want you can criticise free association or bodily autonomy oh academic Asia defended IP sometime again you unsub to his channel damn okay I'd like to at least hear his point because like I said he can whenever he comes out with a point it's normally something I haven't heard before so I'd at least like to know why he goes against it because he loves Rothbard he loves Mises well Mises didn't write about it but the Rothbard in position you know if Rothbard ever did defend IP or not but if he was around today oh my god he would easily be convinced of the arguments that are out there that it's not good how do you achieve libertarian society here's the big fucking question here's something I'm going to make a big video on the stop thinking that we need to achieve our society an anarchist society democratically democracy is a form of government you're not going to get government through pursuing the government's own goals and the goal of democracy is to convince 50% plus one of your entire population that's not our goal let's say 80% of a country I think which I think is a fair estimate is unmotivated they don't care they bitch on Twitter and Facebook every now and again and then every four or five years they go and tick a box in a ballot they're nothing they are not going to be convinced of any radical ideas they're comfortable in their little lives not worrying about what's happening to them taking the breadcrumbs and if you threaten the stream of breadcrumbs being given to them of course they're not going to be your ally they can't be reasonably brought about to this position so they should be ignored our fight is the state's power we need to use whatever means necessary we can to make the state powerless to stop us from doing what? just stop paying taxes and go live in the fucking forest together have a covenant community that's our objective, our objective is non-violence it's a cooperative society all agreeing to live under certain rules and not under the use of force our goal is to mitigate the use of force from the government and so I used to be an agarist which someone pointed out in the chat I am not anymore because if you had libertarians in charge of the government we could have covenant communities a libertarian government call it an oxymoron if you like but if they were libertarian people in control of like all local politics all across the country then the federal or the Westminster government would be powerless to do anything about it you could stop paying your taxes go live in a covenant community if the person at the top of your state was completely on board with the idea and willing to defend you there you go and also now tower gang saying if monarchy over democracy drop a one in chat let's all drop some ones in chat let's have a look if we've got any more death penalty there's an interesting conversation Olly saying the death penalty is only just for the crime of murder I agree Concella addressed Rothbard on IP he didn't like the current laws and wanted a consensual form of IP now that's perfectly reasonable by all means you could have a covenant community or a market that says there's a stipulation for participating here you need to respect intellectual property now that's totally different from you saying okay I'm going to sign a line here and agree not to violate IP rules that is far more different than you never being given the choice to consent to it and then being thrown in jail for breaking a rule that you never consented to take part in totally different consensual IP I don't think it would ever really take off because it is IP is market wise inferior to non IP but you can't say that you could there's many things you can't say that if they were consensual you wouldn't allow plenty of things what are your thoughts on Rothbard opposing laws requiring parents to feed their children so this is Rothbard's theory on children it's fucking out for the longest time I've said there are things I don't agree with him on all to do with the rights of children no he's not a fucking diddler he never said that for anyone gets that idea but yeah ideas saying that there is not talking about whether it's moral but he's saying should there be a legal requirement for a parent to feed their child fucking I don't know why I don't understand the importance of that conversation because you should want a moral society and you should want a moral society upheld by people agreeing to follow basic moral rules so it's kind of like if something doesn't really apply in the lens of covenant communities okay so we're going to have self-sufficient autonomous communities where people sign covenants where they agree forms of behavior there are going to be moral stipulations in there there are moral stipulations that in my mind are not really optional if there are if there's a covenant community that doesn't have these basic moral things in their covenant agreements then I'm not interested and that's one of them again it's just law without government and I think that's perfectly I think that's a perfectly appropriate view on it if you believe you shouldn't be required to feed your child I want fucking nothing to do with you or at least I'd say if you would forego feeding your child I want nothing to do with you I don't care if you say oh well it shouldn't be illegal I don't fucking care do it or fuck off opinions on Monero? well I haven't been like into crypto in a big way for a very long time but when I was quite a while ago Monero was the thing to go for for privacy I don't know if a better one's come along since what if you want to set your child on fire now that is an interesting question bonfire night or fourth of July we all get carried away alright my voice is starting to go so let me do some things here take a few more children's welfare is more important than adult liberty I don't... interesting discussion there but yeah I think I don't care if someone says they're a libertarian if they say they would happily not provide for their child fuck you, fuck you I don't want anything to do with you don't care if you're a libertarian, fuck off oh okay it's a little different to what and you think regarding Rothbard's view on IP I strongly suggest you read against intellectual property oh shit I have, is it really in there fuck it's been too long since I've read it was when I read against intellectual property that I made the video against it so shit I really need to go over it again Rothbard talks about IP being valid because the agreement was written on the book right okay I'll give it another read run don't worry thoughts on anti-natalism a load of bollocks bullshit, fucking stupid and this is, this caused a massive fucking kerfuffle in my discord because some people got very annoyed that the person the anti-natalist was saying so anti-natalism is the belief that giving birth to a child is morally wrong the belief being that the child never consented to be born so the child before conception nobody can argue the child doesn't exist right if you want to say when does it become a fertilised egg and then a human not that argument before two people have even had sex right there's no child in question something that doesn't exist can't consent to something I can't consent to something once I'm dead I'm not here anymore I'm in a state of non-existence a child pre-conception does not exist I can't be my consciousness out into a human mind and say after I'm dead and say don't do this a fucking child that hasn't been born yet can't do that ridiculous absolute non-starter beanie you are submissive and breathable my man I know it you can hear young in my mouth can you now so lucky have I read ego in its own by max sterner no I have not fuck I normally have some points to say about sterner but really I don't know I think I'm just too tired at the moment it's something like how when mutualism came up it was something I used to talk a lot about when I was involved in like polytigram but now that I've got a fucking life I don't care anymore so I've forgotten about all these niche ideologies that mean nothing oh that is my opinion on it useless means nothing ah but there's a guy I really respect who is very knowledgeable about it actually he says that trying to talk an egoist is an anti-ethicist so if you are there's no why would you try and have a conversation about ethics with an anti-ethicist it's like if you sat down with someone and said okay let's talk about the curvature of the earth the earth is round let's talk about its curvature and someone goes actually it's flat like you you aren't having the same conversation so just give up get up get away from stand up from the table and walk away and just do that with egoists you can't have an ethical discussion with someone who says ethics doesn't exist non-starter just leave them alone they can go fucking jerk themselves off however much they like but whenever they come to try and violate your rights give them both barrels then they'll learn pretty fucking quickly what a spook is my thoughts on coconuts can I get a milks pretty based I don't I think the crunchy outside texture is a bit overrated I don't think the hairs taste very nice but to each their own I suppose alright I'm gonna do oh yeah here's Holly the best argument against an egoist is to kill them they don't believe in their own right to life so you can't be punished meet up for anglo-libertarian stuck in your terrible country I met two of my closest closest libertarian friends when was it started this month oh god I never want to do like a big meet up there with random people Christ thoughts on vegan ethics says chamber I am a vegan so that there's all your thoughts do I eat coconut with or without the shell what do you mean say that as if it's optional oh yeah and I rate libertarians as these were working on Childeberg UK I saw that on your Twitter description interested to see what comes out of that for sure ah what makes natural actually what makes natural rights unalienable and objectively valid super interesting question we can go on for a very long time but I'm gonna call it after this and say argumentation ethics look that up that is an objective a prior logical way to determine that humans are self-owners if humans are self-owners then run away from there just talking about okay well if you exclusively have ownership over your body is there other things you have exclusive ownership to ah then go from there see there Olly's saying it right there as well argumentation ethics performative contradiction exactly if you if I was to say I do not own myself then in that word in that sentence I am making a performative contradiction I'm not using any norms I'm not ah making anything other than a objectively false claim in order for me to say I do not own myself I have to be able to own myself to compel myself to make that argument so there you go humans objectively own themselves and then the natural rights conversation follows from there given the axiom that humans own themselves where do we go from here right E.K. films why does my argument why does argument presuppose self-ownership could I not have an argument with your theoretical slave if your slave is arguing with you they own themselves if you claim to own them you are enacting a
