Overview

Chapters

• 00:00 - 00:30: Introduction and Test Background The chapter provides an introduction to the video creator's motivation behind retaking a political compass test. The creator mentions having taken the test several times over the past decade, with the first attempt over ten years ago and another attempt about five or six years ago. Although previous scores weren't recorded, the creator recalls them and is curious to see how the scores might differ in the current test.
• 00:30 - 02:00: Globalization and Support for Country This chapter discusses the inevitability of economic globalization and argues that it should primarily benefit humanity rather than transnational corporations.
• 02:00 - 03:00: Pride in Country of Birth The chapter explores the idea of loyalty to one's country of birth, discussing the relationship between serving humanity and serving transnational corporations. It challenges the notion that supporting one's country and supporting global business interests are mutually exclusive, suggesting that both can align by serving humanity.
• 03:00 - 04:30: Race and Superiority The chapter 'Race and Superiority' explores themes of patriotism and moral judgment. The speaker debates the notion of supporting their country unconditionally, regardless of whether its actions are right or wrong. They conclude that while they may not support every decision, they would voice their dissent if they disagreed with their country's actions. Ultimately, the speaker reflects on their values and the complex nature of national loyalty.
• 04:30 - 06:00: Enemies and International Law In this chapter, there is a debate about national pride and the country of one's birth. One speaker argues that no one chooses their birthplace, so it is irrational to be proud of it, whereas another speaker counters that being proud of one's birthplace is crucial because it shapes personal identity. This exchange highlights differing perspectives on nationalism and identity.
• 06:00 - 07:30: Media and Class Division The chapter 'Media and Class Division' explores the role media plays in shaping identity and societal perceptions, particularly concerning race. It questions the definition of 'race' and whether superiority can be attributed to any race. The discussion suggests that if viewed under the lens of the human race, claiming superiority might hold a different connotation.
• 07:30 - 09:00: Inflation, Environment, and Theft The chapter 'Inflation, Environment, and Theft' appears to delve into a discussion on race, particularly focusing on the definition of race in terms of skin color and heritage. It explores the idea that some races may have superior abilities in certain areas, attributing these differences to genetics and statistical evidence. The conversation suggests a nuanced view, recognizing that superiority is context-dependent and what is advantageous in one area might not be deemed the same in another. This reflects the complexity of defining superiority across different races.
• 09:00 - 10:30: Water, Land, and Wealth This chapter explores the complex dynamics of alliances and enemies, challenging the notion that 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.' It highlights the intricacies of relationships where mutual animosity towards a common adversary does not necessarily translate into friendship or allyship. The discussion underscores that an enemy of an enemy can still potentially be an adversary, depending on broader contexts and motivations.
• 10:30 - 12:30: Trade and Corporate Responsibility This chapter discusses the nuances of international law and the dynamics of trade and corporate responsibility. It critically examines the role of international bodies in governing different nations and highlights the importance of voluntary agreements negotiated between individual countries, particularly among allies. The chapter suggests that such agreements should be made willingly to foster stronger international cooperation and mutual respect among nations.
• 12:30 - 15:00: Taxation and Healthcare Access The chapter titled 'Taxation and Healthcare Access' seems to address the intersection of information dissemination and public perception. Although the transcript provided is limited, it suggests a discussion about the role of media and the internet in shaping opinions on issues like taxation and healthcare. The conversation includes differing perspectives on whether the fusion of information and entertainment in modern media is beneficial or detrimental, indicating a nuanced exploration of how media impacts public understanding and policy discussions.
• 15:00 - 18:00: Government Regulation and Free Market This short transcript discusses the division of people based on class and nationality. The speaker appears to refute the idea that people are divided more by class than by nationality, indicating a belief that nationality is a stronger dividing factor. The transcript is brief and seems to touch on broader themes of social division without delving deeply into the specifics of government regulation or market dynamics.
• 23:00 - 25:00: Authority, Punishment, and Rehabilitation The chapter titled 'Authority, Punishment, and Rehabilitation' explores the theme of how people are divided not just by class but also by nationality. The discussion includes an argument where it's suggested that sometimes divisions based on nationality can be even more significant than those based on class. A particular dialogue in the chapter presents a strong disagreement with this point. It highlights a rhetorical question related to economic priorities, comparing the importance of controlling inflation versus controlling unemployment. The speaker expresses frustration and disdain towards this comparison, calling it a 'dumb' question, which suggests a critique of how economic priorities are often debated.
• 25:00 - 28:00: Society, Work, and Welfare The chapter discusses the role of government in controlling inflation, emphasizing that inflation should be stopped by halting the increase in the money supply. The speaker expresses a strong opinion that the government should not give a false impression of wealth by inflating the money supply.
• 28:00 - 31:00: Immigration and Corporations The chapter discusses the negative effects of altering the money supply, drawing parallels with historical examples such as the Romans, who damaged their economy by doing so. The text argues for the cessation of such practices. It also highlights the role of corporations in environmental protection, asserting that they cannot be trusted to voluntarily safeguard the environment and therefore, regulation is required.
• 35:00 - 37:30: Surveillance and Death Penalty This chapter discusses the concept of surveillance and the death penalty, with a particular focus on property rights and regulations. The speaker suggests that regulations should be centered around making individuals liable for damage to others' property, using environmental damage as an example. The idea is that if someone damages another's property, like a water supply, they should be responsible for the cost and cleanup. The speaker links this approach to contract law, suggesting that such regulations could effectively address numerous environmental issues, thereby framing these measures as regulatory concerns.
• 37:30 - 39:00: Society and Abstract Art The chapter delves into the ethical considerations of societal concepts, particularly focusing on the idea of redistribution and personal property. It debates the principle of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need," suggesting that some consider this approach to be fundamentally flawed. Additionally, the chapter argues the immorality of theft in any form, emphasizing that stealing remains unethical regardless of the perceived justification or intention behind it.
• 39:00 - 43:00: Parental Roles and Free Market The chapter discusses the commercialization of basic needs, using bottled water as an example. It reflects on societal changes where essential resources have become commodified. The speaker expresses a personal dilemma, touching briefly on their religious beliefs without delving into specifics. They mention attending church, indicating a possible influence of religious perspectives on their views about societal trends.
• 43:00 - 46:00: Establishment and Corporatism The chapter discusses the idea of corporatism and establishment in the context of society's relationship with natural resources, particularly water. The speaker shares a personal belief that water, as a fundamental element for life, was created by God. This leads to an argument against the commercialization or bottling of water, suggesting that such natural resources should perhaps remain untouched in their natural state.
• 46:00 - 49:00: Morality, Charity, and Luck The chapter discusses the intersection between morality, charity, and luck. It touches on the marketing and branding efforts that tie products to charitable causes, such as bottled water that contributes to a good cause. While acknowledging the positive impact of these efforts, there is also a reflection on the societal implications, contemplating whether these actions highlight societal shortcomings or achievements. The chapter offers a perspective on the human race's accomplishments in promoting charitable acts through consumer products, even if these efforts seem minor in the grand scheme of things.
• 49:00 - 56:00: Sex, Homosexuality, and Privacy This chapter discusses the concept of whether certain entities, like land, should be considered commodities to be bought and sold. There is a debate presented on the ethical considerations of treating things like land as tradable commodities, touching upon theories such as the tragedy of the commons. The chapter reflects on personal fortunes and their origins, lamenting that many are built on such commercial transactions.
• 56:00 - 59:00: Political Compass Results and Conclusion The chapter titled 'Political Compass Results and Conclusion' appears to discuss the manipulation of money and its impact on society, particularly in the context of a non-free market. The text suggests that in a purely free market, such manipulation might not be considered regrettable. However, the current scenario depicted is one of a centrally planned financial system, which is highlighted as a significant issue, because it is one of the most regulated industries globally. This could imply a critique of the current economic system's ability to sustain a free market ideal, tied into the political compass context and resulting conclusions.

Matty does the Political Compass Test - Economics, Politics, Relationships and More Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 hey guys I was inspired by another video to to do this political compass test again I did this I've done this a couple of times about once first time was probably doubt 10 years ago maybe a little bit more than 10 years ago and I probably did about five or six years ago as well didn't record at that time but I do remember what my scores were so I thought I'd have a look at this test today and and see what happened so here goes
• 00:30 - 01:00 [Music] if economic globalization is inevitable it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of transnational corporations ok so with this one let's have a look I mean because it's sort of if globalization is inevitable it should primarily serve
• 01:00 - 01:30 humanity rather than the interests of transnational corporations so it should primarily service transnational corporations are people are they not so if it's serving humanity it can serve humanity and it can it can serve transnational corporations so I'll just say yes why not I'd always support my country whether it
• 01:30 - 02:00 was right or wrong well not in all instances I don't think in all instances I would support my country you know whether it was right or wrong I would certainly stand up and speak out if it didn't do if it did what I didn't think was the right the right call but would I support my country whether it was right or wrong no no because I might you know with people I don't really
• 02:00 - 02:30 don't like you're in charge of my country then I wouldn't support it no one chooses his or her country of birth so it's foolish to be proud of it no I disagree I I think that you should be proud of your country of birth it's important to be proud of your country of birth where you're born shapes who you are as a person so it's really important that you you are proud of what shapes you as who you are if you're not proud
• 02:30 - 03:00 of what shape to you and who you are then you can't be proud of yourself so that's you know so we'll do that one there our race has many superior qualities compared with other races well what are we saying here first of all what do you mean by race now you could put say this as the human race and if you're saying that our race as the human race has many superior qualities compared with other races well
• 03:00 - 03:30 then you'd have to strongly agree but I believe the definition of race in this one is the color of your skin eraser which you know if you like if you're saying heritage then maybe some races might have superior abilities in some areas I mean it's all genetics anyway like it all shows up in the statistics but you know what's good here might not be good there it's like you know how can you say that one would be superior so
• 03:30 - 04:00 I'd say just say disagree the enemy of my enemy is my friend well not necessarily ah the enemy of my enemy you might be my enemy as well you know what if one of your enemies hates everybody you know and you happen to hate the other one you know you know Eve my enemy can be my friend but it can also be my enemy so we'll just say disagree hmm military action that defies
• 04:00 - 04:30 international law is sometimes justified look how do I put this better our international law right these international bodies that pretend to rule over the different countries around us you know we should go into agreements with our allies and the people that we want to go into agreements with you know they should be negotiated voluntarily between individual nations military
• 04:30 - 05:00 sometimes it is justified sometimes it is justified you still can't be a piece of right there is no a-worrying fusion of information and entertainment no I disagree I think it's great I think the mean you're the way the media is going today with the Internet is is fantastic
• 05:00 - 05:30 entertainment information it's fantastic people are ultimately divided more by class than by nationality people are divided more by class than by nationality so I mean no I don't think people are divided more by class than nationality because I mean you divided by nationality then it's more likely
• 05:30 - 06:00 that they're going to be in another country so that's a pretty big divide there wouldn't you agree so know people aren't divided more by class than my nationality so I'm gonna I'm gonna strongly disagree with that on on the grounds of basic logic controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment this is a dumb one I hate this question I really hate this question controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment it's like you know what I'm
• 06:00 - 06:30 just gonna say you know what I'm gonna say strongly agree because the government should just control inflation completely in that it shouldn't make any of it stop making inflation that's how you should control inflation stop inflating the money supply stop pretending that we're more wealthy than we are and inflating the money supply by supply is what I meant to say don't know it's yeah
• 06:30 - 07:00 you're ruining the money supply as I just said repeatedly the Romans did it destroy their economy we should stop doing that right away if we can because corporations cannot be trusted to voluntarily protect the environment there require regulation um yeah yeah a little bit of regulation
• 07:00 - 07:30 but I think the regulations should be more around property rights in that you know if you damage someone else's property then you are liable for the cost of the damage like if you damage someone's water supply then you have to you pay you clean up that water supply that that should be you know that would be maybe a good way of solving a lot of our environmental problems it's more contract law I mean I guess I would say contract law in that regards does come under regulation wouldn't you agree
• 07:30 - 08:00 I don't know maybe leave a comment for that one from each according to his ability to each according to his need is a fundamentally horrendous idea strongly disagree theft is immoral do you know that theft is immoral stealing is immoral even if you think you're stealing for a good cause it's still immoral even if you're the only one with the
• 08:00 - 08:30 guns it's a sad reflection on our society that something as basic as drinking water is now a bottled branded consumer product this is a tough one for me it's a little bit of a religious thing for me as well I don't really want to go into my religion today and and what I believe I have started coming to church recently but I won't
• 08:30 - 09:00 I won't go into it too much right now I've enjoyed it Maka's yeah but like I said I'm just gonna have to say I mean actually my belief I won't go into it too much but I just I feel like that you know water starts all life and if God created life then God created water - you know maybe God created water he let then to spring life from that so maybe we shouldn't bottle water I know
• 09:00 - 09:30 it sounds a little bit silly but there is some water like some water where they bottle it by their you good cause and things like that and I think that's great so I'm even with that in mind I'm sorry I don't think it's a sad reflection on society and it's great that we're able to do it we've achieved a lot the human race it's great that we're able to do it and what it doesn't mind that much land
• 09:30 - 10:00 shouldn't be a commodity to be bought and sold shouldn't land shouldn't land is a commodity to be bought and sold but shouldn't not be of like shouldn't it shouldn't be a no I disagree of course it should be about a commodity to be bought and sold so can one of the tragedy of the Commons look it up it is regrettable that many personal feature fortunes are made by
• 10:00 - 10:30 people who simply manipulate money and contribute nothing to society oh I yeah I think it is regret it regrettable in the extent that it's being done right now if it was being done in a purely free market it would it wouldn't be regrettable but the fact that the markets not free right now and that the financial system is completely centrally planned it's one of the most regulated industries if not the most regulated industry in the entire world that's the
• 10:30 - 11:00 truth go have a look go look it up it's extremely regulated there's tons of regulations so it's regrettable that that can be used to make massive fortunes which is essentially what's happening and that is regrettable so I agree but I think this test for you to go you know to believe in more economic freedom you have to you know that I think that affects that a little bit
• 11:00 - 11:30 protectionism is sometimes necessary in trade here's the thing I think it's sometimes might be necessary maybe if it could be necessary sometimes if there's like a political thing it's regrettable it's definitely regrettable you don't want you don't want protectionism it's better if it's purely free trade but if you know it's game theory talk about game theory you know if one side has free trade the other diet side doesn't have
• 11:30 - 12:00 free trade then the other side benefits and the free trade side loses out so you have to both have non free trade which would make them both losers which is down here both free trade where they're both winners you know free trade winners non free trade losers I'm doing it over here maybe you can't see it so free trade winners not free trade losers free trade winner free trade loser they get a lot more money to this sort of up here
• 12:00 - 12:30 like that as well so what you want is there like you want it to be there it's all about tit-for-tat cooperation it's how we evolved and it works so you both want free trade but it has to be free trade genuine free trade for both sides and that's the truth so it is sometimes necessary but it's regrettable because you both want free trade the only at social responsibility of a company should be to deliver a
• 12:30 - 13:00 profit to its shareholders I do agree because the promise they made to society as a whole and shareholders are part of their society is that they would make a profit for their shareholders so that's their only social responsibility you could argue maybe they have like moral responsibilities or they might have you yeah they might have environmental responsibilities if you want to go down that path so they might have those responsibilities as well but
• 13:00 - 13:30 social responsibility I think their only responsibility to society is to make a profit the only ultimate one but they still you know they still can't be violating the non-aggression principle and hurting other people obviously voluntary free trade capitalism real capitalism look it up the rich are too highly taxed yeah they are too highly taxed it makes them take
• 13:30 - 14:00 their money offshore so they don't get taxed you idiots you're not that hard lower taxes we get all that money coming in you get spread through the economy the economy grows everyone's happy yay everyone gets richer freedom isn't it wonderful goodness me the people who rule us Hey the people who rule us don't know what they're doing they really don't know what they're doing they think they know what they're doing and that's the problem
• 14:00 - 14:30 those with the ability to pay should have higher so it should have access to higher standards of medical care those with the ability to pay should have access to higher standards of medical care um yeah strongly agree if you can pay for better medical care then you should be able to get better medical care I think the government shouldn't regulate medical care so much that it becomes very expensive and you can't get it without having ridiculous insurance plans or you know or spending way too
• 14:30 - 15:00 much anyway it's Australia we we do have actually Australia is not not too bad as far as I can tell America where the regulations are really really bad when the government's just regulated it to hell that's a lot worse maybe it's a discussion we could have another day if someone wants to talk about it with me health care system in Australia do your research governments should penalize businesses
• 15:00 - 15:30 that mislead the public yeah through the court system I think they should through the court system through the promise that they made to their customers it shouldn't be done by a legislation other than to say you - I'll be honest essentially you shall do what you say say what you do all that kind of thing that's the principle that should be applied by the courts when penalizing business for misleading the public a
• 15:30 - 16:00 genuine free market requires restrictions on the ability of predator multinationals to create monopolies a genuine free market requires restrictions on the ability of pred of the multinationals to create I love this question predator multinationals what a question turn turn predator multinationals are coming for you it's ridiculous what's
• 16:00 - 16:30 the predator multinational what are they doing they hunting you down hunting you down with better products and services at a low price what is part of this how could they do such a thing yeah so predator multinationals know to answer the question a genuine free market for a market to be genuinely free all you need like a
• 16:30 - 17:00 freedom requires less restriction wouldn't you agree so less restriction so how could a genuine free market require restrictions other than maybe look I mean you could say maybe there be a very few restrictions that you'd have a look at so I guess it look maybe it is a fair question in that regards but I guess the question is you have to sort of like where you enjoy the line and and there
• 17:00 - 17:30 would be a lot it would be as low as you possibly could so for a genuine free market let's have a look for it to be genuinely free well again if it's genuinely free restrictions like it's like how do you how do you answer that question accurately I mean I economics is my thing which is why I'm sort of hanging on this question a little bit I really like this question because it's funny because predator multinationals sounds so bad but what does define a
• 17:30 - 18:00 genuine free market I don't think it requires restrictions on the ability of further multinationals I'm gonna say strongly disagree because a genuine free market doesn't require that restrictions if it really requires many restrictions at all and then the restrictions are like on honesty and speaking the truth and and you know offering you know giving customers and supplying to customers what you said what you offered them you said you would supply them when they
• 18:00 - 18:30 gave you their money when they offered you their custom you know honesty keep your word you keep your word and once you you know you keep your word and you keep your stuff as stefan molyneux says you keep your word you keep your stuff that's what capitalism requires so as long as these creditor multinationals don't lie to us and don't lie about what they're doing and they don't hurt you know they don't violate the non-aggression principle as well and they don't hurt their fellow man who cares let them sell their cheap crappy products and we'll make better ones
• 18:30 - 19:00 maybe because there'll be no restrictions on our free market as well so we can make better products at the free market voluntary exchange grande anyway I'll move on it is a question I like the free of the market the free and the people is the next one obviously I really disagree I really agree abortion when the woman's life is not threatened should always be illegal no I decide I disagree I don't want to get into an
• 19:00 - 19:30 abortion debate I did make a video about abortion but I don't want to get into an abortion debate so I'm just gonna say disagree all authority should be questioned yes all authority should be questioned all the time all the time any kind of Authority whether it's your teachers your parents teachers parents police always question authority you know journalists sorry the media especially politicians most of all yeah every Authority should be questioned and
• 19:30 - 20:00 whenever someone says stop questioning Authority or stop questioning what I'm saying that's the wind you should question them the most seriously you should question them the most when they are telling you that you're not allowed to question them because what do you got to hide you should always be able to answer questions because you're always speaking the truth wouldn't you agree if you're telling people the truth you can always answer questions easily and not do that deflection thing that politicians like to do where they sort of pretend to answer the question but they don't actually answer the question that's really annoying I hope I really
• 20:00 - 20:30 dislike it when politicians do that and you should too it's really really annoying you know who you are initials BS you know who you are you're the worst of all oh don't get too political anyway an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth no strongly disagree strongly disagree rehabilitation is important and they need to be taken out of society but you
• 20:30 - 21:00 know yeah we are human taxpayers should not be expected to prop up any theaters or museums that cannot survive on a commercial basis I strongly agree with that one I strongly agree with that one because they're offering a service you're offering a service and if it's a service that people like then they will pay for it make a better play make a better movie go on YouTube go on yeah go
• 21:00 - 21:30 on the Internet the Internet's amazing you don't need taxpayer money stop using taxpayer money to prop up things that and to show things that only you like put it on the Internet it's more fun do it that way sit around with your friends in your house and watch it together why the hell not maybe people might start liking it freedom is grand schools should not be make classroom attendance compulsory school should not make classroom
• 21:30 - 22:00 attendance yeah I agree I don't think schooling should be compulsory I think obviously I think you should send your kids to school and I don't think it should be compulsory no you should be allowed to take to to home school your children obviously if you want to all people have their rights but it is better for all of us that different sorts of people should keep to their own kind different sorts of people should keep that this is such an ugly
• 22:00 - 22:30 question I don't like this question at all all people have their votes but it is better for all of us that different sorts of people should keep their stupid question right oh goodness me I'm just gonna say disagree because racism is bad racism is bad judge people what's in here what's in here and what's in here and what these
• 22:30 - 23:00 what they say that's what's important who they are as a person and you show love let's see good parents sometimes have to spank their children know disagree disagree disagree don't don't hit your kids it's not nice you don't hit your kids put them in the naughty corner or if you've got an iPad say you take the iPad away it's great and you know what it doesn't violate the non-aggression principle because it's
• 23:00 - 23:30 your iPad here you can have my iPad it's got your name on it but I bought it I read you're leasing my iPad I can take this iPad away from you whenever I like doesn't violate the non-aggression principle it will make them do what they're told I guarantee you if you really need to put them in timeout put them in the naughty corner if you really have to let him calm down so you can come out when you've calmed down it works a treat you don't need to hit your kids don't hit your kids you're not a savage it hurts don't do it it's natural
• 23:30 - 24:00 for children to keep some secrets from their parents yeah I think children do keep secrets from their parents you don't want them to like you want them to be able to tell you everything but I think it's natural possessing marijuana for personal use should not be a criminal offense of course I strongly disagree great marijuana should be legal everywhere kids marijuana just like let's all get high and have fun and have really weird chats it's you know it
• 24:00 - 24:30 might be great fun just don't do it too often because you'll get caught in that world the function of schooling should be to equip the future generation to find jobs mmm to find jobs does that job count being self-employed does being self-employed count as a job does it the prime function of schooling should be to equip the future generation to find jobs why not to think for themselves why not
• 24:30 - 25:00 to have great ideas why not to respect other people's ideas why not to risk to listen to people and to debate with reason teach these kids bait with reason and use facts and evidence to say this is true and I've think this is true because I saw this and this is true and that's true and I know these are true because this is true first principles why don't we teach them reading writing arithmetic in first principles why is that so difficult true first principles if this is true then
• 25:00 - 25:30 this must be true if this is true then this must be true go right back to the basics I'm sure we could do it it makes schooling great for the kids they learn how to think for themselves we'd have a great free society the prime function of schooling should be to equip the future generation to find jobs now I disagree people with serious inheritable diseases should not be allowed to reproduce well it's a bodily function so
• 25:30 - 26:00 strongly disagree it's a bodily function if they can find someone that wants to reproduce of them let them reproduce do it who cares as long as both partners you know do the right thing and take care of their children and they can take care of their children and they do what does it matter and you cross that bridge when you get to it you help them if you need to help them you help them that's fine the most important thing for
• 26:00 - 26:30 children is to learn to accept discipline strongly disagree the most important thing for children is to be good you don't learn to be a good boy or girl and there are only two genders but don't say that on Facebook you go check it out it's called been on Facebook for saying there are only two genders it's hilarious you should go check it out ah let's see there are no savage and
• 26:30 - 27:00 civilized peaceful people there are only different cultures strongly disagree of course there are several seventeen civilized people civilization by definition is living in cities that's where the term comes from so obviously there are savage people who don't live in cities you know they're leaving like tribe tries as hunter-gatherers or some really small villages which art wouldn't be classed the cities with no power where life is nasty brutish and short isn't civilization good we want to teach people to speak
• 27:00 - 27:30 the truth and the civilization and make it better make life better for everybody regardless of where they're from those who are able to work and refuse the opportunity should not expect society's support yep I agree those who are able to work and I lose the opportunity if you're able to work and you can't work and you just choose not to like well you really should work like you need to and the things you should need to work that's
• 27:30 - 28:00 the thing it shouldn't be an option it's like well if I don't take this job I can't pay the rent that should be there I mean you've got your family your friends and hopefully your community to help you out there but it's like [ __ ] if I don't take this job then I won't be able help my family I'll have to keep relying on all these people ah it's so much better when you don't have welfare it really really is society is a lot better I can tell you welfare makes you lazy guarantee you it makes you lazy these are when you are troubled
• 28:00 - 28:30 it's better not to think about it but to keep busy with more now disagree it's better to have it out solving your head may speak about with a friend you know if it's a conflict with someone then you should talk it out with them maybe try and solve the issue rather than think about other things it's best to solve the issue as quickly as possible so you can get on to solving the next problem when you are troubled it's better than not to think about it sorry I can't sing first-generation immigrants can never be
• 28:30 - 29:00 fully integrated within their country yeah I agree I think maybe the generation maybe second generation could growing up with all other people who are all integrated already but I don't think your first generation could be integrated unless so it may be when they'll hear when they were very young like when they were very very little but even then maybe not depends how much they mix with the wider community the way you know the wider culture it really just depends oh I'm just gonna say you agree because if cuz I mean Never Say
• 29:00 - 29:30 Never Never Say Never but it's probably a lot more likely than not what's good for the most successful corporation is always ultimately good for all of us yes provided the corporation isn't backed by the government provided the corporation isn't being held up by regulations and isn't being given a leg up over other regulations like oh you can't get a license an example in my hometown in Melbourne I'll tell you this example Craig casino are the only casino in
• 29:30 - 30:00 Melbourne so guess who makes massive profits and when you go in there like I used to love gambling like I should say this I mean I like played poker I played poker for a number of years and I'd like to punt and I'll you know I'm not like a problem gamble or anything I enjoyed it as a punter like as playing poker as playing cards and you go to crown and the odds for the average person a horrendous like the poker tables haven't last time I was there I was like five dollars an hour rake plus ten percent so
• 30:00 - 30:30 five dollars an hour time plus ten percent rake at the poker tables which is just crazy it's absolutely crazy and then you go to the blackjack tables it's all the same the odds are terrible but they're the only one in town so they're the only competition so you know what's good for them isn't good for me or anybody you know ultimately you know what's good for them it's not good for us what's good for us is competition so that we the odds go down and you help the problem gamblers and that's a lot better it's what's good for everyone is that there's competition and that we
• 30:30 - 31:00 have choice and we're not getting ripped off but now I don't get no why bother going to punt like what's the point yeah it's illegal online in Australia anyway can't do that it's probably a good idea now I don't have the money to do it right now but in the future you know who knows who knows so no here's a thing that's just one example but if the corporation is alright completely in a free market and of course what's good for it is you've got what's good for it is good for
• 31:00 - 31:30 everyone of course if it's a purely free market what's good for the corporation is good for everyone I'm going to take Facebook for example because they banned me so I'm gonna throw them under the bus what's good for you is to let people speak not censoring people for having opinions that you don't like or causing offence because what I'm doing now I'm going to all these other places I'm going to mines you know I've got I'm putting my videos on YouTube I'm putting my videos on bit shoot as well I might upload them other places you know I've got a gab
• 31:30 - 32:00 account I'm putting them everywhere because Facebook's arcs you banned me for having an opinion like that's so silly what's good for ya he's not good for you to do that you banning me is not good for you I'm know I might no longer be a customer you know what I am gonna do now is I've got a page up there that has a bit of a follow it's the most followed part of all of Maddy's one life so I'm gonna maybe leave the page up there but I'll probably you know I'm
• 32:00 - 32:30 used to be just completely addicted to Facebook so I probably just I'm offered for 30 days I'll see how oh maybe I will get rid of it who knows we'll see what happens maybe I'll just get rid of my Facebook hmm that could be a that could be a thing make me get rid of my Facebook give me a good reason to get rid of my fake changed my mind we'll see if someone can make me get rid of my facebook forever if I get all the followers over or whatever you know because I'm just in the early stages of this and it would be kind of cool anyway I'm gonna say I'm gonna say great I'm
• 32:30 - 33:00 gonna say agree in this time this time yeah because barring the you know that's hurting Facebook that's interested so what's good for them is to not censor me and what's good for me it's not censor me it's universally preferable hey yo ah I remembered I hope I got that right I've been trying to understand how universally preferable behavior works I'm sort of like halfway through the book I might have to read it again but it's great the art of the argument by
• 33:00 - 33:30 stefan molyneux is really good it went off Stud reading the universally preferable behavior and I'm halfway through that but I've got a lot of other things that I'm doing and you know I really should make the time to read the rest of both books and they're really good I've got about halfway through each of them I would strongly recommend so far ya know broadcasting institution however independent its content should receive public public funding yeah I agree I are definitely agree
• 33:30 - 34:00 there was one exception to this and I'll get into it but when we're talking about public broadcaster's like community radio and things like the ABC in Australia you know like publicly funded the BBC in the UK you know or like publicly funded broadcasters that they get public funding to broadcast news and current events and all that kind of thing I mean they should not there should be no news and current events channel like that that gets public funding it should not happen
• 34:00 - 34:30 look at this we're on the Internet everyone can broadcast there is no need for it anymore there is no need for it anymore we have the internet we don't need places like the ABC or BBC telling us how to think with her own money money they stole from us they stole the money from us and then they use it to tell us how to think go away you know go away BBC ABC you cancer you horrendous anyway
• 34:30 - 35:00 oh there is one exception sorry I'll get to the exception I nearly forgot the exception is an emergency broadcaster I think we should have an emergency broadcaster so if there is an emergency someone can get on the microphone and say there is an emergency we're getting invaded like polar bears from Venus imagine if that happened we're getting raided my poor love is from Venus who knows you know an emergency broadcast so just for proper me oh we got a lot of
• 35:00 - 35:30 bushfires in australia actually when we shut the [ __ ] that we get yellow we get a lot of bushfires so it's good for like you know telling people there's a bushfire in this area avoid here yeah so I saw California yeah it's bit of a tragedy they're horrible we get them here in Victoria all the time civil liberties are being excessively curbed in the name of counterterrorism because this is American based I'm gonna say I
• 35:30 - 36:00 agree I don't think it's so much in Australia the our liberties in Australia are being curbed in the name of like don't cause a fence or and identity politics and all that kind of garbage you can't say this you can't say that - joke yeah I'm gonna relax a bit a significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system no because
• 36:00 - 36:30 that just means you can make the same terrible mistakes a lot quicker yes it's an advantage that I can go and lead my entire country into a war without anyone else being able to say anything about it that's wonderful well you get decisions to be made a lot quicker oh yeah yeah is this no that's a one-party states are terrible unique competition between between
• 36:30 - 37:00 representation although the electronic age makes official surveillance is yet only wrong do it nice only wrongdoers need worried I should say so I strongly disagree because there is a right to privacy you have the right to privacy you have the right to keep to yourself if you want to and forget to have no else have a look at what you're doing you do have a right I mean as long as you're not hurting anyone or like planning something terrible you know you
• 37:00 - 37:30 do have the right to privacy you know prove but you have to prove those other things you have to prove that they're up to that first you know in America I think it's called due process you've got to have due process you've got to have a good reason to monitor evidence it's called fact in evidence truth you got to have the truth it's important the death penalty should be an option for the most serious crimes yeah I agree it should be an option it
• 37:30 - 38:00 but it shouldn't be an option that you use very often might do a video about this one day it might be an interesting discussion I don't want to talk about it now I might have some views that you find a little bit controversial but we'll see let's see we'll see how it all goes in a civilized society one must always have people above to be obeyed and people below to be commanded sounds quite sinister doesn't it to be abode
• 38:00 - 38:30 one I think yeah I think part of us part of civilization is going into agreements with one person in person is in charge and the other person isn't setting up that dominance hierarchy I think that's part of civilization is organizing that dominance hierarchy an organizing terms of your status within that dominance hierarchy as Jordan peterson says that's it's important you know in a civilized
• 38:30 - 39:00 as a society one must always have people about to be obeyed and people below to be commanded it's always going to happen but as and as long as it's under voluntary conditions then that's totally fine it's when someone has it puts a gun to your head and says you must obey or I'll shoot you then it's not okay [Music] abject art that doesn't represent anything shouldn't be considered art at all I've checked out that doesn't represent anything shouldn't be considered at all
• 39:00 - 39:30 strongly agree if we're saying abstract art is that NuWave state-funded garbage that we see on our streets all the time yeah it shouldn't be considered out at all it's not art it's terrible it's terrible the public decides what's art you know standards decide what's art it's truth it's like music but for your eyes it's the same thing sort of in
• 39:30 - 40:00 criminal justice punishment should be more important than rehabilitation no I disagree I disagree it should be the most important thing to want to rehabilitate people who have done the wrong thing if especially if they want to be rehabilitated if they want to do better if they don't want to do the same stupid ever again you should want to rehabilitate them and they should genuinely want to be rehabilitated some people can't be rehabilitated is the worst of times yeah
• 40:00 - 40:30 it is I agree it is a waste of time just to rehabilitate some some criminals some just can't be rehabilitated some should be put in prison for life the businessperson and the manufacturer are more important than the writer and the artists are they more important or are they equally important you know apples oranges oranges this person I'm more important than the writer in the artist know that I
• 40:30 - 41:00 disagree they both serve different functions in a free market they both serve different functions in a free market I just had to say it again mothers may have Kiryat careers but their first you used to be homemakers yeah I agree I agree go out and get a job but if you have children your first duty is to your children that's what God put you on this planet to do to raise your kids it's important to raise that second generation that next generations are build them into
• 41:00 - 41:30 adults and not go off and chase on some career that won't mean anything to you in 20 years anyway number one you raise your kids of course have a career if you want to of course but number one is the kids that's number one priority it's the most important thing as a mother let Dad go out and provide but here's the thing here's the thing if the dad wants to stay at home and do the mothering then that should be their agreement as well that should be their agreement as well it should be the you know they it should be between them but they should be one at home taking
• 41:30 - 42:00 care of the kid it should be at least one at home obviously more often it's going to be the man because the man is designed to go out and provide for and protect his family that's what we're made to do so it's more often going to be the man but if if you have an agreement to do it the other way around then that's totally fine as well as long as it's voluntary as long as we all will respect each other and we love each other and we speak the truth it's all fine pet mothers you your first
• 42:00 - 42:30 duty is to your children to do what's best for your kids and as a father as well if the duty is to do what's best for your kid and yeah that the best thing you could do as a mother is take care of your kids that is the best thing that you could do for them and for yourself as well in most it in most occasions that's the motive it's the most happiness you'll you will have as a woman some might be different but the most happiness as a woman you will have is by taking care of your kids I guarantee most of the time multinational
• 42:30 - 43:00 companies are unethically exploiting the plant genetic resources of developing countries are like are though there might be some I guess I think we're probably in maybe maybe in like Africa and stuff there might be anything I don't ask Allah doing it in conjunction with the local governments who are getting him to do it so I'm sure there are companies you know there's crony capitalism everywhere we'll call it cronyism corporatism crony
• 43:00 - 43:30 corporatism well it's not thar the good name of capitalism shall we more Marxist doctrine right there it is corporatism crony corporatism we can go might make a video of that one later as well we'll see how we go making peace with the establishment is an important aspect of maturity I better write that one down I'm gonna write it down crony corporatism it's a good idea for a video to do one for black markets as well but to speed this up a little bit
• 43:30 - 44:00 because it's getting late I have something to do making peace with the establishment is an important aspect of maturity now I disagree I disagree maybe making peace with your parents making peace with your parents is probably important so long as they don't suck so long as they at least try to do the right thing and that's good they should at least be trying to do the right thing trying to speak the truth making peace
• 44:00 - 44:30 with associations it's not an important part of it so make peace with your overlords of the establishment the older I've got the more I've disliked the establishment like the genuine establishment like the political and media elites like those people who rule us right now I've definitely made not make more peace from with them and I am a hundred times more mature now than I ever was astrology actually explains nationally explains many things I'm a Sagittarius so I'm like super brave and
• 44:30 - 45:00 really and really funny and like Devesh devilishly handsome as you can clearly tell and that's what and that's what said you know that's what astrology tells me therefore I think astrology is quite accurate in in the way it depicts the world you cannot be moral without being religious no I disagree you can you can be moral without being religious I think moral like religion helps religion can guide you it
• 45:00 - 45:30 definitely can guide you in the way to act especially if you don't know especially if no one's ever told you it can be important but it's not you know you don't need it to be moral I think moral is being moral and being good is building to our nature it's the way we are we also have the capacity for great evil again as jordan peterson says we do have the capacity for great evil but we do have the capacity for great great good and I think that's built into us I think it's part of our nature but
• 45:30 - 46:00 religion does help I can I can guarantee you that charity is better than social security as a means of helping the genuinely disadvantaged strongly strongly agree I should say strongly agree charity is a lot better than social security then to help then to help sorry I'm just stuttering a little bit oh my god this is horrendous her charity
• 46:00 - 46:30 is a much better better means of helping the disadvantaged than social security its ye better Social Security hurts the disadvantaged so by definition charity must be better Social Security hurts the genuinely poor and the genuinely unintelligent or unproductive or the genuinely hurt it hurts them it makes them miserable it puts them in a cycle of welfare poverty it makes them lose all hope it makes anything uh I can just have kids and the state will pay for it it's terrible for
• 46:30 - 47:00 that charity is good for that charity the local community helps that that's what helps that charities much better than social Social Security Social Security Social Security can help people who are already relatively intelligent already relatively productive it can help you you know have a bit of a safety net so maybe help you get back on your feet and all that kind of thing but those people were going to get back on their feet anyway they were gonna get back on their feet anyway you didn't
• 47:00 - 47:30 need to help them you needed to help the genuinely disadvantaged you needed to help then welfare makes those intelligent people that I just spoke about it makes them lazy I think I said that already in this video I think I've already said that it does make you lazy it definitely does it makes you think whatever I can just I've got you know I've got welfare coming Australian school certainly I'm not selling coming out they need to work as much whatever I can do something else you know I don't need to work I can I
• 47:30 - 48:00 can go and study I'll pay it back in my eggs dead but what could I pay don't do that early idiots do that I'm guarantee I can guarantee that only idiots do that some people are naturally unlucky no I
• 48:00 - 48:30 strongly disagree Aaron's got the same amount of luck when it comes to success in your life you get what you're putting your to work hard yeah look you know you might be more fortunate than someone else but it's not like a natural trait something naturally let your less fortunate them it just happened the way it was chaos and chaos and order it is important that my child's school instills religious now I strongly disagree I can instill the religious values and soak in my church okay
• 48:30 - 49:00 part six of six good sex outside marriage is usually immoral no I strongly disagree the person who inspired me to make this video said she said she strongly agreed she strongly agreed that sex outside marriage was immoral so I'm gonna tell you why it's not immoral it's not immoral because it's mutual because both so long as they are consenting adults it is not immoral they volunteered into that exchange it might not mean what's
• 49:00 - 49:30 best for them in the long run but not immoral they haven't stolen anything they haven't lied they haven't cheated if it's purely consensual there is nothing immoral about having sex just because you're not married it's not an immoral thing now you could argue obviously that you know it might be better to wait until after marriage to have sex you could say that that's a better and I'm sure there are statistics that back it up in fact I believe there are statistics to back it up that it is better for you to wait until after marriage before you have sex in some instances I'm not an
• 49:30 - 50:00 expert on the actual statistics but I'm so I'm sure you could make the argument that it is a better life decision to make but is it immoral no it's not immoral and it can't be immoral because it consensual and it's an the idea is usually see here usually I would say the vast vast vast vast vast majority of sex is between consenting adults a same-sex couple in a stable loving relationship should not be excluded from the
• 50:00 - 50:30 possibility of child no I disagree I think that they should be obviously they should be vetted just like every parent and they shouldn't be abusing their kids in ways that I may have alluded to already but we won't go into that discussion today pornography depicting consenting adults should be legal for the oedipal yeah of course it should be little strongly agree it's freedom pornography is bad for you it is bad for you but it shouldn't be illegal of course it should be legal so your choice it is
• 50:30 - 51:00 your choice of course it shouldn't be illegal victimless crimes it's your own choice what goes on in a private bedroom between consenting adults is no business of that state strongly agree what goes on between in the bedroom between consenting adults is no business of the state it's none of your goddamn business of course not no one can feel naturally homosexual sorry
• 51:00 - 51:30 I need a bit of water no one can feel naturally homosexual no one know I strongly disagree I believe that homosexual homosexuality in especially in men is a very natural some people have made the argument that it's not as natural in in women I haven't researched that argument yet
• 51:30 - 52:00 I've seen statistics that statistics that may allude to the to the there being evidence of that that male homosexuality is a lot more common than females homosexuality and it actually makes makes biological sense as well uh it can go into it we can talk about it another time if you like I do make a series on biology and biology and human behavior so maybe yeah I might make a video on homosexuality in the natural key in the natural animal kingdom one day and we can discuss that actual topic who knows
• 52:00 - 52:30 we'll see so these days openness about sex has gone too far yeah I strongly agree of course it's gone too far it's gone way too far it's just it's just you know women just give it up for nothing you idiots and then you both feel hollow it's terrible you want to build a strong proper relationship with another human being you know you want to meet that special someone and and join with them in like a bond you know a bond that lasts forever if
• 52:30 - 53:00 you just have sex right away it's like how do you know you don't even know this person you don't even know whether you want that sex you don't even know if you're gonna fall in love with them and it's like you want that connection like you really want to know that there is that connection there on every level on the emotional level the friendship level and the sexual level you I mean that's the hard part as well I mean that is a hard part okay you know you have to be open before you get into that commitment like you really have to see it there
• 53:00 - 53:30 that sexual and that pure romantic I mean even if it's just properly romantic where you're both really genuinely attracted to each other properly in that primal manner that you have to have all those three things and once you have all those three things that's like that's an amazing relationship that's that's what it's supposed to be and openness about sex like you just you just have sex like right away you got to get to know each other first get that's it for the tension young several relationships again like real sister
• 53:30 - 54:00 community and society and like children and kids and all this wonderful thing you know community freedom speaking the truth and and meeting people and talking to people isn't it a wonderful thought anyway I strongly agree so let's see what you stand a better hurry this up I do tend to rant a bit sometimes this is why this is the only real live each video that I have that I've done so far I mean maybe I've done a couple of others but this is the only one I've ever done like as a live show I did some
• 54:00 - 54:30 talk sorry I did do some live interviews with some people which you might like as well but this is the first one I've done just on my own I'm sorry I should say see if you can guess have a think like where do you think I came up in the last two times the last two times I did this the first time I ever did it I came sort of in this area so the free market right it's the free market right so on your screen it should be I think it whatever you can see it it's the mouse here there so I was about there so free market
• 54:30 - 55:00 right free markets but maybe a little bit more authoritarian in my beliefs about certain things that was one that was when I was young up and then I did it again probably like I said about five years later and I was about Freedman like so about in this area here so that's actually how I discovered Milton Friedman and really what got me right into economics as well so it was this test how amazing is that yeah that's where I came in last time so let's see where I came up this time okay so there we are so it's sort of here like there
• 55:00 - 55:30 so it's still sort of on the free market right it's a little bit more left than than I was before which is a funny which is funny because in my mind I'm actually more about economic freedom these days I think it's the way the questions are worded they make it a little bit difficult to it's not getting a completely accurate position picture but it's pretty good like generally I am libertarian about certain social issues like I don't think you know I think marijuana should be legalized I think freedom is important it's
• 55:30 - 56:00 important to speak truth and it's in sport free speech is the fundamental right it's the most important thing it is huge the right to express yourself even if what you're saying is horribly offensive to someone the right just to say it that's a god-given right God gave us that right to speak the truth and anyone who tries to take that away is a very you're a bad person free speech free expression say what you want who cares if someone's offended who cares if make someone cry their feelings
• 56:00 - 56:30 their feelings are none of your business or anyone else's business but you know so I actually think more yeah that that's right in that regards it's like I said I think I'm more to the right in terms of economics because I believe in a genuinely free market economics is one of my passions so I love making economic videos I just they take ages which is a problem my say is law one is moment it's the most popular I'm one of my video on my on my blog right now if you haven't seen it go check it out you'll enjoy it it was the first one in that sort of style that I made it was a bit of fun and it's done
• 56:30 - 57:00 pretty well but I do love economics and I am definitely more sort of probably off the charts maybe that's the circle that's circled the leftists and political people are always talking about so far left you actually far right people on the far right actually look like socialists to me how can they be far right it doesn't make any sense mind blown it's not true it's not far
• 57:00 - 57:30 hunt they're socialists if you're socialist if you believe in government control which is on the left here you're a socialist if you believe in state power I don't know the this thing had Hitler on the right it did have Hitler on the right I think you know I'm sort of over here but I think Hitler should actually be more on the you can't say inherent pointing sorry more on the left side because he was very very about state control of the economy and there are other people who have done great videos all factual or factual all researched all we have sites and
• 57:30 - 58:00 credible references and all that kind of thing Hitler was a socialist he was a left-winger Nazis are socialists so they far-right there's people who want socialized healthcare and all that kind of thing there on the left I view them as leftist but here's the thing the zeitgeist of the day you know right now it's the Farah it's just a label they like now it's just fire right doesn't mean anything anymore good so whose far-right white nationalists and they try and pick Milo as fire height
• 58:00 - 58:30 please Stephen Crowder's fire right come on they're not white nationalist they say we are not white nationalists we are not lately saying it outright and they do do the same it's all racism it's [ __ ] it's just [ __ ] people can see it's not true they say it's not true it's you look stupid when you make the accusation far right whatever anyway thanks for watching sorry about my rats at the end I I hope you enjoyed the video hope thanks anyone if you use a fan right now
• 58:30 - 59:00 who's been watching all my videos so far thanks very much for the support I really do enjoy doing this video it's just the hobby right now I'm doing other things to make money I've got other things in the work for my um for my work life and all that kind of thing but thanks for your support so far it's been you know it's really good to have a view especially if you've watched all the way to the end of this horrendous video I'll see you next time
