Welcome to Keith's night. Don't tread on anyone. This is a book summary of the most dangerous Superstition by Larkin. Rose page 3. The belief in Authority, which includes all belief in government is irrational and self-contradictory. It is contrary to civilization and morality and constitutes the most dangerous destructive Superstition that has ever existed rather than being a force for order and Justice. The belief in Authority is the arch enemy of humanity.
So as far as Government goes, We're not talking about a group of people coming together. We're not talking about schools or roads, or defense what makes government a unique institution. Is it makes laws and imposes obligations on other people. They do not consent to that. Is what makes government a unique institution Mark passio in response to what Authority
is? He says, the religion of authority is based upon the illusion and falsehood that some are Masters who makes that arbitrary dictates which are not based on. Morality and enforced by violence. While others are slaves who have a moral obligation to obey the arbitrary dictates set by the Masters. So we're not talking about here are the rules for my body. And if you don't treat me this way, I'm going to not spend time with you.
We're not talking about people who have rules in their house. We're not talking about people who sell things out of their house or their property called a business. We're talking about individuals who initiate aggression. Physical Uninvited, coercive interference with the peaceful interactions of other humans. That is what the belief in Authority is that's not my opinion of what it is that, that is what it is. And this is a falsehood. It does not exist in reality. It is an illusion.
It is a mental construct of an imbalance mind and an imbalance psyche. In other words. He's saying that it's not in Balance because you're holding some people Masters, lawmakers government Congress to a
different standard than you. Slaves citizens, or, you know, the people arrested for victimless crimes and the biggest manifestation of this Universal world religion, in the belief of the belief in Authority is government from Mark. Pass to go back to Lark and Rose the most dangerous Superstition. He says that when many people hear about this Theory referred to, as anarchism, they'll say, well, you know what, we need government because people are
bad luck and Rose responds with if human beings are so careless stupid and malicious. That they cannot be trusted to do the right thing on their own. How would the situation be improved by taking a subset of those? Very same careless, stupid and malicious human beings and giving them societal permission to forcibly control. All the others. He continues saying that this is like a religion much like Mark passio says, the religion of authority. It is a religion.
He says, perhaps most telling is that if you sir It's to the average person that maybe God does not exist. He will likely respond with less emotion and hostility then if you bring up the idea of life without government this indicates, which religion people are more deeply emotionally attached to and which religion they actually believe in more firmly. In fact, they believe in it. So deeply in government that they do not even recognize it as a belief at all. Imagine.
If I said, the Catholic church has rights, that no one else has Because that's the way things have been. And if you don't like it, you should move. And the Colombo crime. Family also has rights, and they can take a portion of your income. Even if you've never voluntarily contract with it with them because they provide a general amount of security for our neighborhood. That is a religious belief that is not based in Morality or consistency, or ethics at all.
It's completely irrational. He also well Compares it to a religion saying it's worse than a And because Many religious people will sooner let you burn in hell for all of eternity before. Forcing you to attend their Bible study, attend their Church force you to pay their Pastor force you to chip in for Bibles. They say, hey, if I can't convince you voluntarily. Well, I don't own you but when it comes to government, it's like, oh, I'm so terrified that
a road won't be paved. As often as it should that I need to forcibly. Take half of your income. Your you should be free to burn in hell for all of eternity. But I'm so worried that Cal won't be put on the sides of food that. Yeah, we need government that an FDA violently dominating people like and Rose then goes on to discuss what it means to be free and really have a right to something and exercise. This Freedom. This is the philosophy of positive rights.
Verse - writes. He says, if for example, someone has a right to housing and housing comes only from the knowledge skills and efforts of other people. It means that one person has the right to force. Another person to build him a house. So I have a right to health care in the way of I have a right to pursue things. That could be called Help medical devices without someone coercively interfering called the FDA or OSHA or Department of Agriculture.
That means that I have a right to freely associate with people and make trades with them. So, if there's any rights violation in the healthcare industry, it's because the government forcibly stops people from making trades. They also have patents which are totally illegitimate as far as saying I have a right to healthcare. That only comes about because doctors exist because people manufacture things. So, if I have a right to something, that means I have a right to forcibly.
Take your property. So long as I use a percentage of the stolen property to pursue Health Care, 50, right to education. I can take your laptop so long as I use it to do research because, you know, I'm just exercising my rights positive rights, totally immoral - rights only morally Justified position. He then goes on to discuss left versus right political views, or big government versus small government Advocates. He refers to them as status.
This is a belief that government has legitimate Authority. He says all status believe that the people who make up government have an exemption from basic human morality and not only may do things, which others have no right to do, but should and must do things for the supposed good of society, the type of degree of aggression varies, but all status Advocate
aggression. In other words, you might have two rapists one, a serial rapist, and other person who just does it once either way, what Lark and roses saying is that this Inherent belief in aggression is inherently immoral. So you might, so when you say slavery was bad, what we're saying, is the ownership or initiating violence against a peaceful person to coerced labor. Out of them is inherently bad. Yeah, some slave owners had terrific conditions.
Others had horrible conditions and killed their slaves were talking about the principal here. So responding with well, what about big verse smaller left? First writer, Trump versus Hillary or Corbin verse Boris Johnson. That is not getting at the root of the cause which is the belief in violence or the belief in authority authority. Lorcan Rose continues, discussing the side effects of the myth.
So yes, this thing is inherently immoral but historically if we look at the belief in Authority, it leaves in its ruin Mass death and mass economic ruin and lives absolutely destroyed. So, for example, the world wars are an immediate example countries getting nuked or firebombed or country. Going to war together. This is often the result of people thinking that some people have the right to do things. No other group has the right to do because that cannot be
consistently defended. If I don't have the right to do something. I don't have the right to vote for Saddam Hussein to do it on my behalf. And well you could take the Communists position and say, well, you know, what? Yeah theft is. Okay property is inherently theft. Well, if you have the right to steal, then other people have the right to steal. So from you, you cannot have
this consistently applied. If you own other people than other people own you, and you don't have the right to form your own opinion about theft being justified. Unless you get permission from other people because they own your body. The belief in Authority is immoral. It is inconsistent only voluntourism and free-market libertarianism and anarchism are morally, Justified, ways to arrange Society.
Other side effects of the myth, our commercial regulations were much poorer, because a group of people, The government, coercively stops us from pursuing our dreams and having our own business, through the FDA. Through OSHA, through Licensing Laws, that make it so competitors, or rather big companies have the resources to compete. Well, smaller competitors. It makes it harder for them to get their foot in the door and
compete. So, we have fewer goods and services because we have left fewer businesses offering Alternatives, we have prices. Is higher than they. Otherwise would be most likely. We have less job opportunities less competition. So well, yeah, that gives us less Choice, making it all of this is because people believe government has the right to coercively interfere with voluntary exchange. We have schooling.
When you're forced to fund something in your kids are forced to attend it. This thing is not going to improve, so when it turns out, well, the American people have, and people across the world really have trouble using logic and thinking clearly, and knowing about history. A philosophy morality after 12 years. They don't have a lot of this info.
Well, that's what we'd expect. We also have truancy laws, which separate children from their parents, which I guess is something that became bad in the year 2017 and will go back to being, okay. Once Kamala Harris is doing it. We also have the drug war, people getting kidnapped for victimless crimes. You have SWAT raids. I just met a guy at University Club who had his house swatted while he was out of town because he was suspected.
Don selling Bitcoin in exchange for cash without a license or things. Like, Randy, Weaver. You have Waco, Eric Garner. Those are obviously peaceful people. That police felt they were justified in initiating violence because they have a false religion called Authority. It's okay. Because this group called The Congress group said, we can do it. You have post-traumatic stress disorder that a lot of soldiers have after being enslaved.
Called the draft in slave to fight Wars based on a Gulf of Tonkin lion. Vietnam. For example, I met a guy who was a hundred.
I think it was 100 years old, and he was crying to me about how he killed the Japanese fighter pilot in the Second Great War. He says, he can see his face today and he cries thinking about him because he that guy could have gone on to have children, and he was just sort of a poor guy like him, who was just drafted and not there because they wanted to ooh, but because other people believed in Authority, he didn't make the final point about Authority, but
you get the point. We also have false divides constantly being pushed in society. For example, constantly being divided on race. This race is a pressing that race. Therefore, the state is morally justified in expanding the amount of power. It has. Even if that's true. It's a non sequitur to say therefore that groups power should increase. We have false divides. Based on income.
The goal is to divide people one this Called cultural Marxism or just regular economic Marxism that group over there is so dangerous. So evil. Only a very big government can come in and save us. So the idea that well without government or authority chaos, might happen or bad things might happen. Well, you also have to concede. Yes, that's possible, but under government bad things always happen.
So, the existence of bad things does not justify a state or authority Larkin. Rose ends the book saying in summary to quickly review people. Not delegate rights. They do not have, which makes it impossible for anyone to acquire the right to rule Authority. If I don't have X, I cannot give you X. If I don't have the right to make laws that apply to Peaceful people. Interacting. I don't have the right to vote for Doug Ducey to do it on my
behalf. People cannot alter morality, which makes the laws of government devoid of any inherent Authority, Ergo Authority. The right to rule cannot Not logically exist. Thank you for watching.
