I'd suggest you read "Economics in one Lesson" by Henry Hazlitt, it deals with nearly all of the fallacies used to discredit capitalism.

Is there no other way to renew the rights? Sounds like a waste of money...

Could you please explain the relationship of reason and volition. How do you define reason, and why does it depend on volition. I feel like this is really knocking on the door to my understanding of free will. PS: Yes I realize that this is an old post, and sorry for hijacking.

No there is nothing misleading about it. How do they do that? Adjust the meta tags on the whitehouse site?

The bottom line as I see it: If you are drinking because of the alcohol part - the numbness, not because you like the taste of the drink, you are seeking pleasure from subduing your mind. Then you are "enjoying" life through the premise of death, and that looks like a contradiction to me.

Watching Bullshit was a great push for me into political and philosophical ideas. Such an awesome show. In episode 6-09 they did a great job explaining how to best achieve wold peace. And here is a great from the ground zero episode.

I'm studying economy in Lund right now but the second I get my degree I'll be as far from this place as humanly possible. Get out of this hell hole, become the best you can be, and show people that your way really does work - then people will listen. Where will you be getting your engineering degree?

How is it Capitalism's problem that people view it as unfair? Is soccer by its nature unfair, just because it rewards the best players? If my team preforms bad in a soccer league is this "a problem of soccer"? I don't get your point there. This argument eventually ends where the initial problem is that man are not created equal.

The big leap in the American economy came from capital intense industries NOT slave labor. The US was built on the backs of the great industrial minds who took productivity to levels no one ever could have imagined.

Brilliant video Paul, keep up the good work!
