 So, you have to first start with the mind, human nature, what are human beings? The man is a rational being, and as a rational being, capable of taking care of himself. And as a thinking being, needing freedom in order to take care of himself, in order to survive and to thrive, the human mind needs to be free, free of coercion, free of authority, free of force. And therefore, capitalism, the only political system that frees the human mind. Human action is the only moral system, the only moral system, because it allows human beings to be free, to pursue their values using their rational mind by creating values, trading them in win-win relationships with others. That is a system that doesn't need to be improved. It doesn't need to be tinkered. It needs to be rediscovered, all right? And until we can talk in those terms, until we can talk in terms of the philosophical moral foundations of capitalism, until we have representatives doing that. And in that sense, this goes to part of my concern about yesterday. We have no allies. We are alone. Well, I am alone. I don't know how many of you are on my side, because there's almost nobody who takes that position on capitalism. That capitalism needs to be practiced purely, and that its moral justification is not what it does for the poor. Its moral justification is not what it does for your neighbor. Its moral justification is that it leaves creative, productive, working individuals free to pursue their values, to use their mind to think and to act in their own self-interest. That, that is the moral defense of capitalism. Now, that needs to be fleshed out. And I do that in some of my talks. And of course, you can find, you can find that, you know, in the best fleshing out ever in capitalism than an ideal. What is capitalism? Really, the whole book is basically a moral defense of capitalism. And we've got to accept the fact that we don't have allies among conservatives. We don't have allies. We have very few allies among libertarians, unfortunately. Because once you reject the mind, once you reject reason, once you reject objectivity, you reject the foundations of what capitalism really rests upon. If I don't have the finer details of history or statistics at my intellectual disposal, should I get into discussions about capitalism with those who challenge it? Yes. The sense of capitalism is not primarily a historical, statistical one now. I think it's important to know the history, but you don't need to know the details necessarily. Or you can refer people to books or to my videos to get the details. But the fundamental here is that the moral defense of capitalism rests on the idea of self-interest, on morality, on the need of individuals to pursue their own life by using their own mind, by acting on their own values and their own decisions using their reason. That does not require statistics. And you can start there. And then when they bring up statistics, you say, look, I don't believe a lot of that stuff. But if you're interested in somebody who has to counter statistics, go and read capitalism. Not an idea. Go and read Equal is Unfair. Go and read or watch your own books, videos, talks on morality of capitalism or talks on inequality. And all of those have the statistics and the history to back it up. Now, I do think you need to know some broad strokes in history, like what life was like before the Industrial Revolution, what life is like after the Industrial Revolution, what life was like during the Industrial Revolution. The liberty, the freedom, the innovation, the technology, the advancement mankind made during that period. You don't need to know in a great detail, but you need to know the basics of it. And indeed, every human being on the planet should know this. I mean, one of the things that are so devastating is that the people who should be teaching us history, who should be teaching us the statistics are all committed to the destruction of capitalism. That there's almost nobody out there presenting what the 19th century really was like. There's nobody out there presenting the dramatic changes in quality of standard of life, life longevity that resulted from capitalism. And even those who do present, like Pinka and others who show all the benefits materially of what's happened over the last 250 years, refuse to fully acknowledge that it was capitalism and that the pure the capitalist system is, the greater and enhanced human life. And while socialism has killed hundreds, tens of millions of people, capitalism has only improved human life, has only made human life better in pretty much every single realm. So they kind of say things like Stephen Pinka says this and sort of Matt Ridley and others. Yeah, capitalism is good, but it needs to be regulated, it needs to be controlled just like all the books needs to be controlled. And when you get the right mixture, just the right mixture of safety net and regulations and some capitalism, then it works the best. And no, that's actually not the truth. And the reason they can't say they can see the truth is because the people who constantly teach about history, teach about statistics, distort them, pervert them, lie about them, evade the truth, because they are motivated not by bettering humankind, they are motivated by human destruction, they are motivated, motivated for you not to discover the true nature of capitalism. People don't want you to discover the true nature of capitalism. People don't want you to know the history, the intellectuals. They don't want you to know history, they don't want you to know economics, they don't want you to know what capitalism really does, because they hate you. They hate you as an individual. They hate individual life. They want mediocrity. They want destruction. They want you to disappear as an individual. They want you to just become one of the of the Borg, one of the group, one of the collective, indistinguishable. What motivates them is the hatred of individualism. What motivates them is the hatred of individuals distinguishing themselves. It is the mediocrities, the professors at the universities, the intellectuals who hate mankind, who hate progress, who hate achievement, who hate individuals standing up. They're the ones who are going to every extreme of lying in order to prevent you from knowing the truth about history. It's not a conspiracy in a sense that it's the consequence of altruism and collectivism, a consequence, because altruism and collectivism must inevitably ultimately lead to nihilism, and that's what drives us at the end of the day, is nihilism. 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, whims or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism and impotence, and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist brought.
