  1. Plato was a inferior. Have you ever wondered why your philosophy course(s) never taught you the difference between the philosophies of individual liberty vs a dictatorship? Nope, they taught us about a bunch of lunatics, (Sans Aristotle, who was not taught properly), who would have been institutionalized after the age of reason for being insane? Yep, we had no idea why we got a good grade in that class of mixed up garbage, were glad it was over, and to never think about it again. That is because Policy comes from Principles, and Principles comes from Philosophy. How we live depends on the philosophies we choose,---and communism does not leave us a choice. We don't even understand our choice of individual liberty protected by law with free people creating free enterprise, but the USA allowed man to be great under those philosophies and it formed civility and prosperity, by protecting the individual instead of favoring a group. Plato saw a perfect chair, (for example of what man has built), in a "forum" in space, and my instructor kept asking the question all semester, "Does a table have a soul?" Good thing I got into engineering, because that is the study of reality, and it helped me a lot. :)

  2. Modern does not mean advanced. We can tell by how terrible the phones sound today.

  3. Individual liberty/freedom does not mean you can commit crimes against your neighbors. That would be a infringement against their liberty. When laws do not protect individual liberty, they are not laws, but are lawlessness. That is the line between a civil/prosperous society, and the immoral lawless world we endure today. Somebody please bring back the founding of the USA, and spread it around the world.

  4. If we really had a choice, we would not be facing communism today.

  5. That is our problem. We think "fair" is if everybody is forced into something. For example, if you are mad because somebody gets away with not paying income taxes as you do pay, we complain as if it is not fair that the robber stole more from you.

  6. Now don't make the brain dead mistake that only Tucker was destroyed. He offered a lot of jobs and opportunity to a lot of people that never happened. That was your freedom too, and congress killed any future competition that the industry would not accept. Even for the guy who thinks freedom is simply not being in jail, that was your freedom stolen from you too. Yes, we all could have done better.

  7. At my age,---40 years is not a lot of time. The biggest mistake these forces mad today is getting greedy and rushing it. They should have waited, (and continued their indoctrination) for one more generation, (30 years),--and there would not be much if any of a fight. They got greedy. I don't think the very near future has a good chance of being rosey for Western Culture.

  8. They have been taught to accept communism in their schools, and a class action law suit is needed for talking them out of their liberty. "We will get exactly what we deserve, and it all depends on how we think." (Ayn Rand) Today, education better start after graduation, or these kids will not live one day of their own life. They will be living their lives for the state, and that is communism. It is still their choice, if they can "think" about it.

  9. I don't know. But they are people who make up reality. I have noticed that when people ignore or try to make up reality, reality has a way of kicking their butts sooner or later. So I am sure reality will kick their butts sooner or later,---but I fear it will kick ours too.

  10. I saw this coming over a decade ago when I saw the media promoting the ingestion of bugs for human food, calling it "a delicacy" is some regions of the world, (that never participated in free enterprise and are dirt poor.)

  11. My, what you have learned. You must be one of the smart ones.

  12. He is actually following what kids learn in our communistic/dysfunctional schools today. Always blame the business man,---and never the government that actually controls them. Now you know what a "anti-trust" government law suit is for. Let me ask you a question. "Who does free enterprise belong to, the citizenry that started it, of the government that took it over, (while making sure you can't figure stuff out, like math, the tool of all human advancement, in school.)?

  13. Ayn Rand explained communism well. What we will see as we fall into it. Backwards legal (illegal actually), action and emptying store shelves are mentioned, along with what it takes to beat communism. I know how to beat it now, but "we the people" (in the world) have to understand the difference between individual liberty protected by law, and communism,---or we lose.
    2
  14. That is not true. Maybe you were told that because angry people should not be listened too? It is the meaning of words that form the argument,----and I got him to stop dropping the F-bomb.

  15. I corrected you, but your comment reminds me of Ron White (comedian), who as part of a skit said, "I was on the HS debate team and even got kicked out of that. We were in a debate, and it was my turn so I said, "Oh yea!? Well F--- YOU!!!" Everybody was speechless. I thought I had won.".

  16. Think bigger.

  17. Spain was, (is still?), the wind mill energy capital of the world. You think heating and cooling is the big issue? You can't run the factories that got mankind out of poverty with wind mills or any renewable energy. That is the big issue. Remember, only "poverty" can be "equal". Glad I am old.

  18. That is cool. Lets get into groups and fight. Never mind individual liberty, that is not primitive enough for you.

  19. Or, we can start a new USA. It sure grew well with opportunity, before anybody went there for charity.

  20. I don't understand why some people are, (or seem to be), afraid of their own freedom, their own minds in a free society that they can grow in any direction they want as we learn. Sure, we grow up in a world that can be scary to understand, but I never once gave up my freedom to figure it out; to figure out reality. I can't imagine such a persons life, clinging to anybodies ideas with seemingly no thought of their own. I can understand how people got that way, but I don't understand why they stay that way, (like a inexperienced child with perpetual fear),---because we can figure it out, and we have. Just my 20 bucks. Doug in Michigan.

  21. Nobody has ever experienced freedom in school. We used to have the freedom to study what we wanted for "free enterprise", but today, my old JH school (built in 1977), now has the official sign stating "Enter to learn (what ever the state approves), Forward to SERVE." Serve the state, of course. Go ahead, call the Scottville Michigan (Mason County Central) JH school, and ask them why their sign supports communism?

  22. Well, I moved back to my old rural area 5 years ago because my generation there knows how to survive if SHTF. But can't we think of another word to use instead of "community", because I think the word comes from "communism". What is a word for "Like interests of individual liberty"?

  23. "Anything goes", accept my thoughtful comment. You deleted my comment that I took the time to think about and write. Do you think you are helping free speech and the freedom of expression? You just helped communism,---idiot. Sue your school.

  24. I made it to photo #1. That is a bike and rider, flying over the barrier, (which nobody expects), at about 30mph. I would not expect the photo to be much different. If a picture is worth a thousand words,---than shut up.
    1
  25. But the 2nd photo, at precisely min 0:52. It is that guy in the red shirt to the right, (sitting straight up as others duck), who looks to be smiling and clapping, is a bit interesting. They are progressive minded people folks and road racing type bicycle racing is full of them. They are not good at making rational decisions, especially under pressure. No doubt, a rational adult, would have reacted better. There was no time to "think" about it. The reaction, like all in the progressive ill-educated mind, was action based on feeling, (not reason), and the feeling of fear replaced quick thinking. It is called "progress". It is almost, "sacrificial" for survival. Or is it?

  26. I can't remember who the lady is that said this, but it is what I see: The mask does not control the virus, it controls you." For the first time in man's history I am sure, you can see who has some intelligence left from just a glance.

  27. You have almost 90,000 views in less than one day. Get your own sponsorship. Maybe even products still made in Europe or the USA; something you like yourself maybe? They would pay you for running what is called, "advertisements". You can read them on the air or even run a vid of it with out cutting yourself off mid sentence. They can be products you think we might actually buy and not skip. You actually have total control that way. It is called free enterprise, but you would rather take commie money from YT, or beg for welfare,------------you lazy azz pummy.

  28. I don't know what "Pummy" is. I got it from Anthony Hopkins playing "The Worlds Fastest Indian". Great feel good movie by the way, based on a true story.

  29. "They can be products you think we might actually buy and not skip" For a example of yesterday. I skipped a 3 min YT ad for a 30 ton front end loader made by Cat, while trying to watch a dry bar comedy show.

  30. Yes, the 30 ton Cat has traction control.

  31. From a big Polish gathering for thanks and a great traditional home cooked meal,---to my Mother buying the dinners from a grocery store just for her and I to eat, relating (not well), with each other for about 2 hours. Our family is already finished.

  32. "As far as I can tell, humanity has not bee wiped out." As your thumbnail suggests with the statue of liberty being over, are we sure humanity has not been wiped out?

  33. We have never had a voting option for more liberty either. Not in our lifetimes. When we had a bit of a choice, the election got rigged even deeper in the middle of the night. That is where we are at. Voting? Don't be absurd yourself.

  34. Every dictatorship thinks I own a smart/cell phone. I was too smart for that. Exempt! :)

  35. I found it interesting how they pronounce "aluminum", adding a couple letters and syllables, "Alumineannyium". OK, it is not spelled like that, but from my search there are two spellings for abundant material, and theirs is the old one.
    1
  36.  @Pedant_Patrol  Not the most recent spelling. No, it is an old and primitive one. Like having a King.

  37. If you famous political views are allowed on YT, you are used for propaganda also. It is actually their own censorship that points this out.

  38. I never had the need or desire to include a 3rd party for payment transactions with people I do business with. It is none of their business. I have no idea why people used them. Business should be personal. It is what makes us civil and prosperous. You trade money with one hand, and shake hands with the other. Why did you pay for a Pal, to hold that money?

  39. Arrested by the FBI? A federal crime? It is assault on a plane. Are we sure we are not exercising too much authoritative power,---and celebrating it?

  40. The answer is in the understanding of the citizenry of philosophy, (the study of how man should live, and where all principles and policy come from.). Until we are a full blown communist society, we still have a choice of the philosophies we want to live under. So ask people, "How do we want to live OUR lives on this planet?". We basically have 2 philosophies to choose from. Do we want to live under government control, communism, (a farm animals life to me), or do we want to live under the philosophies of "individual liberty protected by law,--and free people creating free enterprise with the right to compete in industry and create industry,--(and not have it stolen from us,--by communism.). Individual liberty protected by law with the citizens growing with trade,------------ or communism, the lives of farm animals? We do have the power to make that choice,--if we understand the choice. This is why your college philosophy courses were a mixed garbage bag of garbled nonsense, (Most studied philosophers should have been institutionalized as insane), and you have no idea why you got a good grade. You thought nothing more of it,--and philosophy leads human existence. It is still our choice. Personally, I believe Ayn Rand was the best philosopher who ever lived, and they never mentioned her in my philosophy course.

  41. By the way, Ayn Rand credited Aristotle to be the original founding father of the USA. He had some Platoian flaws, (teachings from confused Plato) but it was Aristotle who first proclaimed that man has a brain that can reason, (figure out reality, unlike a farm animal)." That was the basis of the USA's founding. Individual liberty protected by law, because individuals can "reason" figure out reality, and under those principles, (not communism), allowed the citizens of the USA to grow into the most civil and prosperous society mankind has ever enjoyed. Get it? It is not hard to understand.

  42.  @willwinters3910  Not since the beginning. Since we started making money with free enterprise that people with individual liberty protected by law created. In essence, what free people built got taken over and given to communism by governments, including our own. Now there had been government intrusion on our free market before, railroads and such. But this movement, a foreign movement got started in the early 1900's,--and it is called "progress". The answer is demand our "individual liberty protected by law" back, our free enterprise back, and get the sabotage out of our education that started around 1905. What do you propose? Anything different?

  43. I was there in the industry when Mt. Bike riding became a new industry. The new off road bikes attracted just about anybody who enjoyed riding 2-wheels and more. It attracted BMX riders, Motorcycle riders, a whole bunch of new riders, and road riders. The road bike riders were a different culture, a progressive culture for sure. Some of them would even take their own poop back to the parking lot to dispose of it, if they had to take a dump while in the middle of the woods. I don't give them much credit for off road riding talent, but those guys could sure climb a hill fast. They practice going up hill a lot.

  44. So, you are still on YT. What are you worth now?

  45. "greatest"?

  47. First line, "Professor of Political Philosophy". What is that? POLITICS IS THE APPLICATION OF PHILOSOPHY, and we are simply applying the wrong, primitive, dysfunctional philosophies to live by. Philosophy seems like some black magic hole of irrationality that we never knew why we got a good grade for in college and thought nothing more about it. But it is actually what leads man's existence, and we still have a choice. What we don't have is the education to make that choice. Do you want to live under the philosophies of individual liberty protected by law, or communism? Lots of trash thrown into the argument, (progressive lawyer style), but that is the real choice.---that we we have to live with.

  48. Most of those Philosophers were learned to admire in college,---should have been institutionalized for being insane.

  49. He has it backwards (like most people). It is not free enterprise taking over government. It is government taking over free enterprise. Your free enterprise that was created by free people, (mostly in the USA of course). That is the way communism works today kids.
