@michelguevara151 Not everyone has time to watch the longer stuff. But if you didn't do the readings as a younger man, the longer videos are worth listening to. For me, doing the readings is much more efficient. I can't always concentrate the entire length of a video, but when I'm reading, I'm totally engaged until I put it down. You can run the video in the background while you go about your mundane daily activities, but it's easy to miss chunks.
Sometimes, I queue up a video before I go to bed. But I always fall asleep before it's over, so that method requires some work getting through the stuff you slept through.
The half-hour pieces are more distilled. I already knew a lot about the delusion of command economics, and that the Nazis were totalitarian. TIK brings the facts, in detail. But it's always the same thing. The political class knows what it wants and can get a lot of it by force. But things always fray at the ends. The sand slips through their fingers. Without real price-based valuation and allocation of resources, everything crumbles.
This is why war is wasteful, and wasteful people need war.
