Doug Casey's Take [ep.#264]

Moderates are the girlfriend grabbing onto your arm while your enemy is punching you in the face.

Asking the government for a right to healthcare is like how they do it in Canada, assisted suicide.

The young in North America today have been indoctrinated by mainstream, state run schools to believe in and support these communist models blindly so trying to get them to critically think is often challenging. I like your approaching them with these questions as you encourage them to start thinking for themselves and that is the first big hurdle to get across imo. Love your show. ❤

Unfortunately I think most people would rather be tortured than use their mind to think

If the forefathers were alive today,

18:32 I went to prison just for not filing tax forms much less tax fraud or tax cheating

So the ignorance of this child is a bit exteeme

This is the way. Open their mind; arguing only closes their mind.

If Lysander Spooner and Fredric Bastiat were taught in schools the foolishness of government would be understood

[borisperez]

The gov IS the problem! This Josh guy typifies our latest greatest generation of hand me outs

[scottnyc]

It’s easier to fool someone than try and convince them they’ve been fooled..

I would have gone at least one more question deep on the neighbors robbing him. I would have had the neighbors vote to hire someone to come to his door and rob him and pay the robber some of the money and pay the medical bills with the rest of it.

Socratic method? I liked it! Here is a nice subject: no wonder people think they live in a spinning ball ragging through space... do you know the polar star and the constellations have not moved an inch in centuries... do you know that gravity is not a law, do you know satellites are not responsible for our communication (99% go by underwater cables), hence parabolic antennas are never pointing up... and we go up in hills to see a clear sky, but when the actornauts walk in "space" there not a single star shinning... not to mention they always forget to put a camera on the rear of the probes to give us a full picture of our so called "sphere". Yeah... I know... at least know where you are. Socratic does work!

[BiancaBasakDikturk]

This is absolute gold! Will be on the front row listening anytime you guys do a live red-pill meal event like this one. :) Been listening to you guys for a few years now and really love your priceless wisdom and take on so many things--please never stop. Your words and thoughts drip-drop into thirsty minds then in turn trickle down to those who didn't even realize they were thirsty. Lovely, no? <3

Sadly, the audio for the "Moderate" was so weak I couldn't hear it well...

The first casualty of war is always the truth.
