Jeff is spot on, thank you.! Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grand-children are once more slaves. - D.H.Lawrence

Wow! what a profoundly simply guy! Stop the oligarchs! Build our own, honest, truth seeking world! Thank you Jeff!

Heard Jeff present this on his show last week & it was great. Going to listen to this also ✌️

[DanJohnsonAffordableAviation]

Yet another great Jeff Diest message. Bravo! (Yes, the Frank Lloyd Wright styling was wonderfully geometric).

Good talk. Someone once said: "evil flourishes when good men stand by and do nothing."

The greatest thing of beauty that one can ever find in life is one thing that is lacking severely today: Love ✝️

It's really true. Look at the design on the wall behind him, reminds me of Klimt. As an artist I wholeheartedly agree. To have heart, our culture must reckon beauty not only as an aesthetic but as a way of life.

According to the book the "Fourth Turning" we are entering the cycle of crisis just as in WW2, clearly it is a different era but this too is going to be an historical time, no doubt.

Profound .. as good a rallying cry as I’ve heard since the recent clown show.

I'll field the Buddha vs. Mises notion as I am a fan of both. Mises got it half right, and that is that Buddha suggested that pushing for specific outcomes in a pressing manner is the source of pain and problems, and that overcoming this is the only way to achieve real contentment. So Mises was correct that Buddhism strikes at the very root of his theory. However, assuming that these approaches are antithetical is an error.

Reading closer into Buddha's actual transcribed words there are many specific pieces of advice and stories. In one case, a man came to him and asked, "I am poor and hungry, how do I feed myself and make money." Buddha did not say, "Sucks to be you in a word of evil." Instead, he said, "This is quite simple. You need but be useful to others, and smile, and you will get all you need in life." Mises' error was assuming that by suggesting not _pushing_ for specific outcomes--becoming emotionally attached to them and devastated if things do not go your way--is the same as suggesting that people never try to accomplish anything.

In fact, Mises knew something about entrepreneurship, and would his suggest have been that if your new business venture fails that your attitude should be one of depression, anxiety, and giving up, or to rather look at it like a lesson, not be attached to that particular outcome, and to find better ways to serve others in your next attempt?

So the key is understanding the difference between "acting" and "pushing for a specific outcome". If your buggy whips are not selling anymore, then it is time to change and act towards a new goal that serves others. It is that simple.

Tried downloading it. This platform wouldn't let me. They've age restricted your content.

I like how the closed captioning is the only way to understand what Jeff is saying.

Edit:this video just reminds me of the article Jeff wrote on mises institute. This video is essentially the same thing but with some extra stuff thrown in it.

Damn. Talk about a rally call 😤 did Bob speak? 🥺😩🙏🙏

[konberner]

The truth is that both value and beauty have a foundation in subjectivity. That said, for humans, there is a lot of overlap in how both value and beauty are ranked. I find it interesting to compare the subjective theory of value to a subjective theory of beauty. In a similar way that the more I have of a given resource, the less than another unit of that resource will tend to be worth to me, so with beauty it is possible to grow tired of what I once thought to be very beautiful and have a change of taste in various ways.

So, it is quite an interesting situation when the truth is that the existential experience and particular preferences of various individuals drives things like value and beauty. It is truly a meta-theory that "delegates" truth to specific cases and, by definition, resists generalization of specific cases.

Jeffersonian Roman-fusion style is wonderfully American and should be revived.

[Omnis]

No sound. Plus the stage looks like a Scientology gala, just missing the naval uniforms with all the pins and ribbons

[Nanofuture]

Is it just me or is this only available in potato quality?

You forgot the speech cards between each shot of Jeff

We're doomed when guys answer a practical question with no practical answer.
