Here is Adam Kokesh talking to a person that has been taught that society owns individuals. It is interesting what people will say, and do, based on that premise.
Adam asks the question, “"Do you own your body?" just before the 10 minute mark.

    totally agree. while he was the most coherent occupier I've ever heard, but yet he is unwilling to take control of his own fate.

    Fundamentally this guy accepts the community as superior to the individual. He danced around saying so in all his answers, and finally the host drew it out of him.

    This guy is a good example of being educated, but lacking wisdom (for lack of a better alternative classifier right now). It's not enough to know facts, you have to put them in their proper context. He couldn't do that because he didn't understand the proper metaphysical context of human existence.

    This was a great interview. The occupier was definitely the brightest I've heard to date. I don't know what I'm more surprised by... his cogent responses or the fact that such a person exists inside of Occupy at all. How does someone familiar with Von Mises and Hayek end up in that frame of mind?
