An Giang info: Youtube daily report Jan 24 2019

Hi I'm Mike from Craft Supplies USA and today we're going to turn a safety razor kit and a matching stand.

Here at Craft Supplies USA, we offer a large selection of premium quality razors, stands and brushes in gun metal and chrome finishes.

Depending on your needs, we have razor kits for the Gillette Mach 3 and Fusion cartridges as well as the classic safety razor blade.

And our brushes are made with genuine high-grade Badger hair.

All of our razor kits and stands feature a threaded rod design, allowing you to disassemble the components for cleaning and refinishing, as well as trimming them to a shorter length.

For today's project, I'm going to turn a safety razor kit and a stand. And don't worry if you have one of the other projects because they turn the exact same way as well.

For today's project, I'm going to use these acrylic blanks because they're impervious to moisture, and if you use a wood blank, just make sure it's a dense exotic or it's been stabilized.

As far as our supplies go, we'll just need our blanks, a razor kit and stand, a 7mm drill bit, a barretl trimmer, bushings and some standard pen making supplies.

Before we start, I'd like to mention that all the supplies used in the video will be linked in the description below.

Now lets start by marking the blanks about 1/4" longer than the brass tubes, then cut them on the band saw.

Now I'll be using a set of pen drilling jaws so I can accurately drill on the lathe, but this step can also be done using a drill press.

With the lathe speed set at about 750 RPM, drill a 7mm hole completely through the blank,

making sure to clear the chips frequently.

Repeat this step for the other blank as well.

Now we'll prep the tubes for gluing by scuffing up the brass tubes with some 220 grit sand paper, so the glue will adhere better.

Now apply some thick CA glue to the brass tube,

then insert it into the blank, twisting it as you go, to spread out the glue.

Spray some activator onto both ends of the blank to cure the glue,

and then repeat these steps on the other blanks and we're ready to barrel trim.

Using a vice to safely hold the blank, barrel trim both sides of the blank until the brass shows.

Once the blanks have been barrel trimmed, let's go to the lathe and prepare for turning.

I'll be mounting a pen mandrel in a collet chuck for the most accuracy, but your standard morse taper pen mandrel will work fine too.

Now slide on the bushing and the blank,

and bring up the tailstock with a revolving cone center for support.

We'll start by roughing the blank to round using a spindle roughing gouge.

Once the blank is roughed down, use a spindle gouge to turn the blank to your blank to your desired shape.

I'll add a little bit of shape to this razor kit, but it's all up to your imagination.

Once the blank is slightly larger than the bushings, I'll sand the acrylic blank through 600 grit with traditional sand paper.

Then I'll wet sand using micro surface pads through 12,000 grit to remove all the scratches.

Now let's apply some plastic pen polish for a durable, glass-like finish.

Carefully take the blank off the lathe,

then assemble it with the threaded end caps and rod.

The assembly is easy because you don't have any parts to press in. Just simply thread it together until it's tight.

Now attach a safety razor blade of your choice and this razor is ready to use.

As for the stand, it turns and assembles the exact same way as the razor, so I've already turned it to match the safety razor.

Now you have a handsome shaving kit that cuts as good as it looks.

And don't worry, no beards were harmed in the making of this film.

Orgone Energy: The Greatest Discovery SUPPRESSED by the FDA - Duration: 23:44.

It's said that in order to awaken to our full potential,

we must be willing to see the ways that information is being suppressed or discredited.

And nowhere is this manipulation more common than in medicine.

Western medicine – albeit technologically advanced -

treats the symptoms of illness

with expensive pharmaceutical formulas

and patented machinery,

which reaps billions of dollars each year for those in the industry.

There are many effective alternative options, however,

for addressing illness...

but in the last century, western medicine has effectively swept them under the rug.

Among the most commonly overlooked options

is a uniquely effective, non-invasive therapy

that was created by a doctor named Wilhelm Reich.

Using simple materials,

Reich's healing invention tapped into the life energy that ancient modalities have spoken of for centuries

and his therapy yielded remarkable results.

What more, anyone could duplicate it at home.

But if you search for evidence of its efficacy,

you may have to dig deep to get past the character assassination of its founder,

which many people believe was the dark result of Reich discovering something

that could completely change our understanding of health and disease.

Join the Universe Inside You,

create a new reality, as we go deeper into understanding

Wilhelm Reich's simple technology

for cultivating Orgone energy.

(intro)

If you research the name Wilhelm Reich,

you'll find more accusation of fraud than appreciation.

While there's no question that he pushed against the grain with his controversial ideas,

early on, Reich earned great respect as he paved his way through the field of mental and physical health.

Wilhelm Reich was born in 1897 in Austria,

and became a very well educated, prominent psychoanalyst in Vienna.

He traveled to numerous countries for his life work

and wrote several influential books.

Like his predecessor, Sigmund Freud,

he became fascinated with the libido,

which is "the energy of the sexual drive as a component of life instinct."

When he was 30, Reich witnessed a violent revolt in Vienna that left many innocent people dead.

It became a game changer for him,

as he expressed disgust with what he called "the social noxiousness of views and institutions."

He observed that psychic illness was linked to the "irrationalism of social and political mores,"

adding that "Love, work, and knowledge" should govern our lives – not dogmas.

Reich believed neurosis was rooted in sexual and socio-economic repression.

He observed that health and pleasure

are the movement of biological energy

towards the periphery of an organism;

while anxiety is the retraction of this energy towards our center.

He sought to treat neurosis

by reversing the flow of energy outward,

including by means of healthy sexual release.

Because he promoted the availability of contraceptives

and when necessary, divorce,

he was later credited with originating

"The Sexual Revolution" of that era – the title of a book he published in 1936.

In order to escape persecution by the Nazis,

Reich immigrated to the US in 1939,

with hopes of fulfilling his own American dream.

Sadly, this notable immigrant experienced an American nightmare.

Though his work had always been held in high esteem,

he was sadistically professionally destroyed,

just as he attempted to share new healing methods with the world.

What happened?

Could he have really just cracked?

Or, might his ideas have presented a threat to the existing medical industry?

Dissatisfied with the headiness and what he called

"contrived foothold of scientific theories",

Reich chose to focus on the biophysical aspects of psychological conditions.

Through his research, he discovered that people with unresolved negative emotions

would hold more rigidity in their muscles,

blocking the natural flow of energy through the body.

He referred to this tension as "muscular armor"

and noted that firm pressure of his thumb

or deep massage into a rigid muscle

would elicit a strong emotional response

accompanied by physical pain

that then appeared to stimulate the memory

which initially created the tension.

The more repressed the mind, the more stuck the body.

As energy was released,

ease and even pleasure were restored to the patient…

along with an involuntary pelvic thrusting reflex that he called the "orgasm reflex",

which was attributed to many responses

beyond an actual orgasm.

The second thing Reich discovered came from observing a dying plant in water under a microscope.

As the life force faded,

he witnessed luminescent blue "bubbles" departing from the plant

and then, as if by magic,

coming together again separately

to form a new protozoa - a new living organism.

He called this glow, BIOME

and concluded that if energy is not lost,

but simply transformed at death,

it must exist everywhere - always.

He was able to see and measure biome energy,

which is the luminescence in this photograph taken on the Moon.

Though it's been dismissed as a trick of light,

the glow of life energy is unmistakable.

To put it simply:

Wilhelm Reich rediscovered what shamans in ancient healing modalities have known for centuries:

There is an energetic life force in the Universe…

an etheric substance

that is the essence of every living thing and non-living thing.

In China, it's known as "Qi (Ch'i)",

in India as "Prana",

in Greece as "Aether",

in Polynesia as "Mana"...

the list goes on...

Drawing a line between this self-organizing force

and the biological energy that was released from muscles of his patients,

Reich believed this life force

to be the source of life and procreation

and he decided to name it Orgone.

Reich was trained in western medicine.

But for thousands of years,

healers and shamans of many cultures have been cultivating this invisible energy

in order to restore health and heal dis-ease.

Among these ancient methods

are acupuncture,

Reiki,

Qigong,

reflexology,

and chakra clearing...

all sharing a consistent principle:

Our biology is governed by invisible energy meridians,

and illness occurs when areas stagnate in the body.

Rather than treat the symptoms of illness,

as western medicine does,

these modalities focus on opening the flow of this energy.

Reich was able to detect and measure the existence of orgone with a simple device,

as described in his book, "The Cancer Biopathy".

This device was an induction coil, in a series of metal plates with a light bulb in between them.

Whenever an orgone field approached the meter,

the light would actually turn on.

For anyone seeking something like this today,

an "Experimental Life Energy Meter"

is not unlike a battery reader,

and can measure the energy in people, animals, plants, even food.

As Reich studied orgone,

he noted that there is – 'Positive Orgone Energy' (POE),

which was organized, structured, and life-giving,

and 'Deadly Orgone Energy' (DOE),

which was anti biological – stagnant energy that would lead to decay and entropy.

He said the accumulation of DOE, combined with lack of POE, is what created dis-ease.

Seeing how negative energy

disrupts the flow of life through the body,

Reich devised an invention

that would direct the flow of life orgone into a patient.

He called it the Orgone Accumulator.

Reich's invention was designed to concentrate positive energy around and into a human being.

It was based on two principles:

Organic material - such as wool and fiberglass

attract and hold Orgone energy;

and Inorganic material - such as metal –

attracts and then immediately repels energy

in all directions.

The orgone accumulator was a box-like enclosure,

lined on the inside with metal,

and then alternately lined with an organic material,

repeating for any number of layers.

The more layers, the higher the concentration of energy inside the box.

Energy by the organic layers

was directed inward by the metal layers.

Any energy reflected outward by the metal layers,

was reabsorbed by the organic material

and redirected into the box,

causing orgone to accumulate inside.

Patients would simply sit there,

allowing energy to restore their health.

As Hippocrates pointed out:

"Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease."

For the same reason a paper cut or bruise heals itself,

the Orgone Accumulator simply accelerates the process.

Naturally, sitting in a box as means of healing sounds a little hokey.

But the difference in the energy field created by the device can be verified two ways:

by comparing the temperature;

or, the electroscopic discharge rate inside the box vs. outside of it.

Reich started with plants, noting that they grew much faster.

Then he introduced patients,

who would sit inside for 20-30 minutes

while ambient orgone energy was assimilated through the skin and lungs.

Reich observed under a microscope

that red blood cells would begin to emit a blue glow at their fringe.

The result was remarkable:

Patients reported a warmth, relaxation,

and sometimes a prickliness.

The skin would flush and sweat with the feel of a "soft glow".

Reich noted that a multitude of illnesses healed more quickly,

or were even healed entirely

as result of time spent in the accumulator.

These conditions included:

digestive issues, injuries, bug stings, burns, muscle or joint aches, impotence,

and even more challenging conditions like cancer.

Another benefit Reich noted

was the change of attitude.

His patients expressed more joy, happiness and positivity following a treatment.

The accumulator appeared to release "stuck" negative emotions,

and to replace them with positive ones.

He did find one danger however,

using an orgone accumulator near sources of DOR (such as nuclear power plants, radio towers, or the like)

has the potential of harming anyone receiving treatment inside it,

so geographical location is an important factor to consider.

But over his years of research,

hundreds of people were treated for illnesses with his orgone accumulator.

Overall improvement in their emotional well being

and body function was astonishingly consistent.

Sadly, Reich's celebration was short-lived.

In the 50's,

he was first singled out by the US government for being a communist,

though it was eventually determined in 1957,

he was not guilty of subversive activity.

Just before he was about to go public with his research and new product, however,

the FDA suddenly stepped in,

seizing all of his product and convicting him of fraud.

Wilhelm Reich was thrown in prison

and the FDA not only confiscated his equipment,

they completely destroyed it.

Just days before he was up for parole from prison,

Reich died of heart failure.

But there was suspicion

that his death may have been foul play.

Though it was published Reich was a fraud,

those who knew him argue otherwise.

It was known, for example,

that he gave public demonstrations

to prove the effectiveness of his technology,

and he did not request payment when treating patients in the accumulator.

Many believe he was maligned not because his technology was phony,

but because it was incredibly effective

and it opened doors to health that threatened the existing medical industry.

Fast forward to 1986:

scientists at the University of Marburg in Germany,

conducted a blind study

to test on the credibility of the Orgone Accumulator.

And they concluded:

the orgone energy accumulator device,

conceived by Reich,

may have a significant effect on the human organism.

Reich had left instructions

that his unpublished papers

be stored and sealed away for 50 years after his death.

In 2007 they were unsealed

and in 2015,

Harvard University Press published

that the dominant narrative of Reich

as a "pseudo-scientist" is incorrect...

that his true story

is "much more complex and interesting"…

Reich's concept of life energy evolved when Russian scientist Nikolai Kozyrev

proved that unseen energies are all around us

and his work lead to torsion field science in quantum physics.

Since then,

thousands of Ph.D.-level researchers

spanning multiple generations

have continued Kozyrev and Reich's pioneering work,

slowly forcing mainstream western science

to finally, "officially recognize" the concept

of a universal, unseen energy medium.

They call "dark matter," "vacuum flux" or "zero-point energy," depending on who you ask.

These are all essentially describing

what Reich called "orgone".

In recent years,

the layering concept for orgone

was reinvented in small resin objects

which would contain both materials - organic and inorganic.

It was also discovered that if you add a crystal into the resin of these devices,

the stability of the quartz transmutes the negative charge into a positive one.

Also, the resin shrinks during the curing process,

permanently squeezing the quartz crystal inside,

which creates a piezoelectric effect

and this electrically polarizes the quartz,

making the orgonite even more effective.

It becomes a self-driven, continuously-operating,

highly efficient negative to positive energy transmutation factory.

When orgonite is within range

of any source of negative energy -

emotional, physical, or chemical -

it's said it will efficiently and continuously transform it

into positive energy,

and the harmful energy is defenseless

against the effect.

Now, a growing number of people are using it

to combat the electromagnetic frequencies being emitted 24-7 from cell towers, cell phones, Wi-Fi,

and smart grids – just to name a few.

The exponential increase of EMFs

are said to blanket our landscape

like 'electromagnetic -smog'.

This change in the biological frequency of the Earth

over the last 20 years

is said to effect us all on a cellular level.

Though we may not be aware of the additional stress

until we're far away from it and surrounded only by Mother Earth and orgone.

There is even an internet led movement called "The Orgonite Gifting Movement",

where people bury orgonite devices near cell phone towers to mitigate harmful effects.

Orgonite devices are most frequently used for the effects of electronic pollution -

stress, depression, headaches, insomnia, and brain fog.

Like the accumulator, they are said to: turn negative energy into positive energy,

to purify the atmosphere,

to detoxify water,

to help plants grow better, repel pests,

to disarm and repel predators,

and to inspire a pleasant demeanor and a balanced happier mood,

to remedy insomnia and nightmares, and best of all,

to awaken your innate psychic senses.

We can't tell you for sure whether or not orgone therapy,

or orgonite are effective.

Because energy medicine is not clearly measurable,

most doctors dismiss it as hogwash.

But it's clear, as long as you're away from negative energy sources,

there is certainly no harm done in trying them out.

Skeptics may say these stories are just the result of the placebo effect.

Others may see orgone as the thread of connection with the Divine.

It is curious that a healing technology would be so maliciously discredited

which at its best, is miraculous...

and at its worst - completely harmless.

Maybe, Wilhelm Reich was crazy…

or, maybe this highly educated doctor

simply posed a threat to the institutions he detested in western medicine.

In the end, this is what he said:

CM Punk To AEW?! Vince McMahon UPSET With WWE RAW! | WrestleTalk News Jan. 2019 - Duration: 10:27.

Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk Super News [REMIX] - I'm Oli Davis.

Support WrestleTalk!

Give Us A Subscribe!

Press the thumbs up button, give us a subscribe and post a comment down below because I'll

be replying to people in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6-- FROM OUTTA NOWHERE.

We've got a huge show for you today, with Vince McMahon upset backstage, a shock NXT

call-up rumor and speculation that CM Punk is on his way to All Elite Wrestling.

But first!

Royal Rumble With Cheese A huge Royal Rumble debut has been revealed

- the official pay-per-view burger, courtesy of the Chase Field venue… how do you eat

that thing?

"Meet the Royal Rumble Burger.

We put an 18 oz. pork bratwurst patty on a toasted onion roll.

Then we added cheddar cheese, smoked bacon, crispy coleslaw, fried onions and BBQ aioli.

And then we topped it with fried mac and cheese wedges."

What do you say to that, eh, Daniel Bryan?

Trying to save the planet and promoting animal welfare like an absolute nerd.

According to recent reports, though, Vince McMahon was hoping for even more beef at this

Sunday's show.

Meaty Segway.

Vince McMahon Upset Backstage After several months of lurking, Lars Sullivan

was reportedly meant to debut on a recent episode of Monday Night Raw.

But according to the Wrestling Observer, he suffered what is thought to be an anxiety

attack and either never showed up or left the building on the night of the taping.

WWE were said to be handling the situation very sensitively, due to their experience

with Mauro Ranallo's mental health issues in 2017.

The incident came at a potentially crucial time for Lars, as he was apparently planned

to debut in a feud with John Cena, where it's speculated he'd take him out of the Royal

Rumble match with an injury.

Rajah claim to have more details on how the Sullivan plans have been affected backstage,

writing Lars was actually scheduled to be in Memphis for last Monday's Raw, where

he'd "tape a 'non-arena' segment with Cena, where Lars would basically beat him

up.

The segment would then have aired last night on Raw (1/21) and served as Sullivan's official

main roster debut."

But because Lars wasn't available once again, "Vince McMahon grew upset last weekend and

nixed the entire segment sometime before Raw - whether he knew Sullivan was going to remain

away or whether he didn't care I don't know - but he was mad and scrapped it."

There's still plenty of time between now and WrestleMania for Cena and Lars to start

their feud, though.

But that depends on WWE not souring on Sullivan over these recent issues, and another NXT

wrestler not getting his spot first…

Velveteen Dream Wants John Cena Velveteen Dream is so good at playing mind

games with fans, sometimes it seems he's working WWE officials too.

And everything from his Hulk Hogan-inspired outfit at NXT TakeOver: War Games to writing

'Call Me Up Vince' on his bottom might finally be paying off.

Following the reports that Lars wasn't available to start his feud with Cena, Dream tweeted:

"One day The DREAM will wrestle John Cena & everyone will rejoice.

REMEMBER THIS TWEET" And then threatened he won't appear at all

if his demands aren't met.

He then locked his Twitter account, making only five tweets visible.

Dream has wrestled on every NXT TakeOver since 2017's WarGames, with many of his performances

stealing the show.

But he's without a match for this Saturdays' TakeOver Phoenix.

Barnburner's No Holds Barred podcast, however, reckons he'll have one the following night,

claiming they've heard a rumour that Dream will enter the men's Royal Rumble match.

No Holds Barred have a very patchy track record when it comes to breaking stories, though,

so take that with the same life-threatening pinch of salt as the official Royal Rumble

burger's sodium content - seriously, how is that thing still standing?

Triple H On Lars, Dream & Being Cleared As part of his usual pre-NXT TakeOver media

call, Triple H actually addressed both the Dream and Lars situations, calling Dream "a

remarkable young man" who's "wonderfully gifted about getting buzz around himself"

and revealing "Lars is in a good place.

Nothing has really changed.

We're moving forward and you'll know when you see it."

Speaking of the Road to WrestleMania, Trips also gave an update on his potential status

for WWE's biggest show of the year.

All backstage reports pointed towards Hunter having a match against a returning Batista

at WrestleMania 35, with them even shooting an angle for it on SmackDown 1000, but Trips

tore his right pectoral muscle at Crown Jewel in the PROGRESSIVE CITY OF RIYA-! putting

his Mania match in jeopardy.

But just two and a half months after undergoing surgery, Hunter revealed he was medically

cleared last week to start training.

He'd previously only been rehabbing for a few hours a day.

It's still unknown whether this timeline means he'll be able to compete at WrestleMania.

Triple H On AEW But we do finally have a high-up WWE official

commenting on All Elite Wrestling, as Triple H also answered a question about his company's

new potential rival: "[AEW is] clearly something that we'll keep

an eye on and clearly they're out there doing their business.

But we'll do what's right for our business - what's right for WWE…

They're all business decisions and we'll continue to monitor everything.

And we say it all the time but it's the truth, it's not just a competitor like that, we compete

against everything."

All Elite Wrestling co-executive vice president Cody Rhodes was just as professional in his

recent interview on the Breaking Kayfabe podcast, where he was asked about trying to sign talent

already contracted to other promotions like WWE:

"We try to be very careful about making sure we're not talking to anybody who's

under a specific deal, make sure they're aware this is why we can't talk to you…

[but] we haven't really had to communicate with anybody on that level because there's

so much fresh, independent talent."

So when you're legally unable to approach currently contracted WWE stars, you just get

Joey Janela to do it for you.

Joey Janella Wants Dolph Ziggler In AEW Replying to Dolph Ziggler's recent tweet

'Later Marks', All Elite Wrestling star Janela asked:

"Wanna join my backyard wrestling company" Ziggler decided to play hardball, replying:

kind of in talks with @ZackRyder "WTW" at the moment...he's willing to put up his

greg the hammer valentine as a signing bonus.

Can you top that/aka: would you let me play your drum set or do some karate with you?

Janela had a far more alluring offer, though: "I don't have a drum set but you can bang

my aunt...."

Business.

There is some substance to the jokey exchange, though, with PWInsider recently reporting

Ziggler turned down an offer of a producer role backstage in WWE, and he could be done

with the company as early as next Thursday, 31st January.

Which could just be a hot tag from Dolph leaving the promotion to a top New Japan star joining

them…

Or not.

As the Royal Rumble means many things.

Nostalgic wrestling cameos, stars making their shock returns from injury…

Kenny Omega WON'T BE IN THE ROYAL RUMBLE ...and everyone speculating Kenny Omega will

be entering at No. 30.

And Omega's Being the Elite co-star Nick Jackson of the Young Bucks might've let

the shock debut slip by posting his reply to a random fan in his DMs:

'Yo Nick - too sweet emoji - will Kenny be in the Rumble?'

'He specifically told me if you randomly messaged me I should tell you.

So here it is…

Yes he will be there to breach his contract and illegally wrestle for another company."

Kenny is reportedly under contract to New Japan until the 31st January, making it legally

tricky to debut for WWE on the 27th.

And besides, all reports point to him signing with AEW anyway, so…

CM Punk return confirmed.

For potential realsies for once…

CM Punk To AEW Rumor RedBubble is a site that lets sellers upload

their designs for people to buy on t-shirts.

But, as is the way with the user-generated content on the Internet and entrance music

in Mexican promotions, not all of that is going to be 100% on the right side of copyright.

To combat this, the actual copyright holders are able to claim against any designs they

feel infringe their intellectual property - legal legal blah blah - which happened to

Douglas Hinkley's CM Punk 'Best in the World' design.

Hinkley posted on Twitter that Creative Ventures Inc claimed his artwork violated their copyright,

on the subject matter of Pro Wrestling Tees and ALL ELITE WRESTLING!

Pro Wrestling Tees is the Chicago-based company that officially sells CM Punk merchandise,

so that reason makes sense.

But the use of AEW in the subject matter has understandably sparked speculation Punk might

be involved with the new promotion.

OneHourTees, which owns ProWrestlingTees, tweeted on the speculation:

"For the record, I file copyright violations weekly at the same time for hundreds of designs

on tons of bootleg sites including new japan designs, bucks, macho man, cm punk, AEW, legion

of doom etc.

I'm not sure why this is news.

People should stop bootlegging merch, THAT'S NEWS!"

"It's never been mentioned the 200 other times i've included NJPW and CM Punk in the

same DMCA takedown."

Punk's going to New Japan too?!

The connections between AEW and CM Punk can be traced back to last September, where Punk

appeared at a ProWrestlingTees signing at the All In convention Starrcast.

And Punk has alluded to Cody and the Young Bucks asking him to wrestle at that event,

but "An offer was not made.

Calling me up or texting me saying, 'Hey, if you want to come to the show and do something,

we would love that' is not an offer.

That's not an offer."

...CM Punk joining AEW confirmed.

Anyhow, to explain why I'm not a libertarian, it stands to reason that I begin by describing

what exactly libertarianism is, right?

And so, here's an attempt to steelman it.

Likewise to all political philosophies, "libertarianism" represents a wide array of movements and beliefs,

but all are predicted on the core principle of liberty.

Now what exactly liberty means, depends on the libertarian, as traditional libertarians

sought to abolish capitalism and private property, while contemporary libertarians advocate laissez-faire

capitalism and strong private property rights, but a fair summation of all libertarians is

that they seek maximum freedom of the individual and minimal authority of government.

As such, they tend to insist upon freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to

bear arms, freedom of and from religion, freedom of the Press, freedom of ownership, freedom

of the economy, and they almost always oppose the welfare state and taxation (which they

see as a form of slavery).

Or as the American Libertarian Party puts it, "We hold that all individuals have the

right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever

manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of

others to live in whatever manner they choose."

Now that sounds pretty damn reasonable, right?

Penn Jillette and Michael Shermer seem to think so ("But I've voted libertarian

for many years now."

"I've leaned libertarian most of my life, since college").

As does Ron Paul ("They said the role of government ought to be but one thing - protect

liberty.

That's the purpose of government"), Clint Eastward ("And now, you've called yourself

a libertarian - is that right?

Is that correct?"

"Yeah... libertarian values, as for Rubublicans used to be when they were saving money and

everything"), and according to libertarians websites, Keanu Reeves, Chris rock, Vince

Vaughn, Will Weaton, Matt Groening, and countless more… and so why doesn't it convince me?

Well, what follows is my three primary reasons.

This is Why I'm NOT a Libertarian.

One of the most eloquent and convincing summations of the libertarian philosophy that I've ever

heard of comes from Walter Edward Williams, who in his book titled All It Takes is Guts,

wrote the following: "But let me offer you my definition of social justice: I keep what

I earn and you keep what you earn.

Do you disagree?

Well then tell me how much of what I earn belongs to you - and why?"

And so, what's my answer?

Why do I think that strangers are entitled to some of Walter's fruit?

Well, to put it bluntly, Walter fell out of the right vagina at the right time; he inherited

a biological and/or socioeconomic advantage that he did not earn, and thus, he does not

"deserve" all of the fruit if his labour.

He was dealt good cards…

Now Walter came from a broken family, in a relatively racist country, and so how the

hell can I say that he had an advantage?

Well, for him, it's got more to do with nature than nurture, and to explain why, let

me rewind a bit.

In 1971, the American political philosopher John Rawls wrote A Theory of Justice, and

within it he (as many of you likely know) observed that when people contemplate and

determine the structure and rules of society, they do so selfishly, based on their personal

circumstances, characteristics and preferences – such as their mental and physical abilities,

social status, ethnicity, gender, and most crucially, their conception of what's good.

Thus, it's no surprise that some people who can afford the bare basics (such as shelter

and food) want a society in which they're not obliged (through tax) to pay towards other

people's bare basics.

Likewise, it's no surprise that some people who can afford to pay for their family's

medical bills want a society in which they're not obliged (through tax) to pay towards strangers'

medical bills.

Just as it's no surprise that some people who can afford to send their children to school

want a society in which they're not obliged (through tax) to pay for other people's children

to go to school, and so on and so forth.

But the only reason they seek such a society, Rawls argued, is because of their lucky circumstances.

They've been dealt good biological and socioeconomic cards, and as such they stand to lose a card

or two should society attempt to equalise the hands of those less fortunate.

Now to get around this prejudice, Rawls proposed what he called the "original position",

and argued that "A just society is a society that if you knew everything about it, you'd

be willing to enter it in a random place."

He reasoned that if people determined the basic structure of society behind a veil of

ignorance, which would deprive them of information about their specific characteristics, such

as their ethnicity, social status and gender, they WOULD create a welfare state.

They'd elect a society that maximizes the prospects of the worst of because they themselves

might be the worst off.

They'd create a society that would ensure that if they or their loved ones were born

blind, deaf or dumb, they'd nevertheless have a life worth living.

Thus, this is the primary reason I'm not a libertarian.

Despite the fact that I came from a broken family and had a very rough upbringing, I

am extremely lucky to have the characteristics that I do, and while I've worked extremely

hard to get where I am, I did not "earn" the temperament, patience, charisma, and,

if you will, intellect that I have – I was simply dealt good biological cards.

Thus, I'm convinced that SOME of the fruits of my labour should go to those less fortunate,

and that the same is true of Walter's fruit.

Now Sam Harris, in a post titled "How to lose readers without even trying" (which,

admittedly, makes me a little bit nervous about my releasing this video), put Rawls'

original position this way: "Many of my critics pretend that they have been entirely

self-made.

They seem to feel responsible for their intellectual gifts, for their freedom from injury and disease,

and for the fact that they were born at a specific moment in history.

Many appear to have absolutely no awareness of how lucky one must be to succeed at anything

in life, no matter how hard one works.

One must be lucky to be able to work.

One must be lucky to be intelligent, to not have cerebral palsy, or to not have been bankrupted

in middle age by the mortal illness of a spouse.

Many of us have been extraordinarily lucky—and we did not earn it.

Many good people have been extraordinarily unlucky—and they did not deserve it.

And yet I get the distinct sense that if I asked some of my readers why they weren't

born with club feet, or orphaned before the age of five, they would not hesitate to take

credit for these accomplishments."

Anyhow, moving on, the second reason I'm not a libertarian is because I don't believe in

natural rights, which I would argue is the very bedrock of libertarianism.

If it wasn't, then all of morality would come down to arbitrary private contracts,

and libertarians certainly don't believe that this is the case; they hold that we are born

with certain inalienable rights – namely life, liberty, and (in most cases) property,

but I see absolutely no justification for this.

Many libertarians, such as John Locke, insist that these rights are god-given – that we

have the right to liberty because god said so (but I, as an atheist, obviously don't

find this convincing… and what's more, even if I was a Christian like Locke, I'd

still reject his assertion, as in my opinion the bible explicitly states that it's perfectly

fine to deprive certain people of liberty).

While other believers in natural rights (though not strictly libertarian), such as Immanuel

Kant, insist that natural rights are derived from reason alone; that, in Kant's case,

they're categorical imperatives – but I reject this because I don't believe any

action is non-contingent (and I'll likely explain exactly why in a future video, rather

than needlessly cluttering this one).

And so to those of you who're libertarian and non-religious, I'd like to ask a question:

what makes you think we're born with natural rights?

What part of the state of nature possibly yields the RIGHT to liberty?

Sure, we're born free, but that doesn't mean we have the RIGHT to be free, does it?

As it stands, I maintain that Thomas Hobbes got it right when he said that in the absence

of a social contract, life is "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."

(And yes, I know that Hobbes believed in natural rights, but I find his argument to be inadequate,

albeit practical – again, I'll try and address this in a future video).

The third reason I'm not a libertarian is because I don't believe in libertarian free

will.

On top of the fact that we're not responsible for the biological and socioeconomic characterises

we posses, I also don't think we're responsible (in the libertarian sense) for anything.

I've discussed the illusion of free will in previous videos, and so won't repeat

myself here – but in case you still believe in free will, and especially if it plays a

vital role in your libertarian worldview (which I'd assume it must), please consider checking

out said videos.

If we're not responsible for our actions in the libertarian sense (which is to say,

for example, if my being a YouTuber isn't entirely of my own volition), then how can

I sincerely take credit for the fruit that it produces, let alone insist that I deserve

them?

To use Rawlsian terminology, I might be "entitled" to most of the fruit, but I don't "deserve"

them – and I certainly don't deserve all them.

If we're deterministic entities, libertarianism simply doesn't work.

And so there you have it… the three primary reasons as to why I'm not a libertarian.

Now don't get me wrong – I consider myself a liberal (at least in the classical sense),

and in many situations I stand side by side with libertarians, but I don't call myself

a libertarian because I don't believe in free will, I don't believe in natural rights,

and, most crucially (and ironically), I don't believe libertarianism represents true liberty.

True liberty, in my opinion, requires equal opportunity, and libertarianism doesn't

deliver this.

In fact, to the contrary, it protects those ARBITRARILY dealt good cards, and leaves those

arbitrarily dealt bad cards to die… it addresses "freedom from" but it utterly fails to

address "freedom to".

Now, as said at the beginning, if you think any of my reasons are insufficient, or that

I'm missing something crucial, then please let me know, as I'm entirely self-taught,

and as such I appreciate that this makes me vulnerable to missing a thing or two – despite

extensive research.
