What does Yaron Brook say about the patreon problem? Why is he scared?
Posted by Solver 5 years, 3 months ago to Philosophy
Yaron starts talking about the patreon issue at 55:40
“This is scary. This is very scary.”
“There is no more important an issue than free speech. If we can’t argue, if we can’t debate, if we can’t speak, we can’t change the world, we can’t change the direction of this country, we can’t stop the inevitable move toward serfdom, the inevitable drift toward slavery, towards authoritarianism.”
I’ve been trying to express how very important this recent trend is, A creepy line crossed, and many are just begining to take action against it.

Brook is properly talking about the role of principles in determining the course of the nation. Ayn Rand emphasized the importance of ideas. Trying to explain and wail about every problem as another conspiracy as "the problem" is anti-intellectual, usually arbitrary and false, and fails to address real causes. An alleged bankers conspiracy has been a John Birch Society conservative mantra for ages.
The Federal Reserve (as do all central banks) not only encourages borrowing (banks only make money by taking interest on the loans). Banks also love the idea of "fiat" money and inflation because it is an endless source of borrowing by both the individual as well as the government.
This is the dirty little secret of the International financial system. Remember, there are only three countries who do not have a "Central Bank); 1) North Korea, 2) Cuba and 3) Iran........Isn't that interesting!? All of the rest of the countries are under the control of Central Bankers........Food for thought!

But if government does get involved, instead of enough personally responsible individuals,
“Politically I see a cascade of disasters before us. I see no good news in at least the next six years.”

That appears to be hypocritical to me. Patreon has crossed the creepy line and Yaron is ignoring it so he gets paid.
Funny thing is that once that tiger is let out of the cage, it can go anywhere (like after the hollywood people and democratic politicians for sexual misconduct)/ The left should be careful of what they wish for....
