Watched this video the other day. I like the guy but don't know much about him. I also bought his book "Practical Anarchy" yesterday. Does anyone have any opinions on him or this video?

    it is impossible to have the discussion of no initiation of force without a discussion of property rights. If I pick an apple off your tree, and I do not pay for it, and you come out with a gun and demand payment, who has initiated force? To a hunter/gatherer the answer would be the property owner. so without a discussion of the property rights it is impossible to have the discussion of initiating force. To a hard core environmentalist, if you burn carbon fuels, then in their mind, you have initiated force. I stopped at 1 hour in, so if this was covered I didn't get it. I just felt at that point, he was re-hashing the same argument-which was a good one.
