John J. Miller is joined by Dominic Pino, one of the editors of 'Edmund Burke and the Perennial Battle, 1789-1797.'

“In four of the quotations, Lewis speaks of ‘the Tao.' By that he means something like the universe, including its moral order, or perhaps the notion of a morally ordered universe.” ~ Daniel B. Klein

Daniel Klein discusses Steve Pinkerton's concept the left pole. No matter what direction you go in you are to the right. The right is more diverse than the left. The Republican Party needs to identify as the non-left and be more inclusive. The left loves big government.

“Our decisions on semantics express broader moral and political sensibilities. On my semantics, the revolutions of 1848 were not liberal. Nor, overall, was the revolution of 1789. As Edmund Burke put it in 1790: ‘Their liberty is not liberal.'” ~ Daniel B. Klein

“The blow-up between two of Europe's most illustrious intellectuals was an affaire célèbre throughout Europe at the time. The two protagonists could not have disagreed more in their moral and political tendencies and influence.” ~ Daniel B. Klein

True confession, I've had a concealed carry permit for nearly 30 years. My current permit expires in a couple of years and I'm 99% sure I won't be renewing it. I'd rather not pay the government before exercising my rights. Hannah Cox has a great explanation of why this is a good thing and how Texas was right to become the latest open carry state. As we witness the ongoing clampdown on the populations of Australia and New Zealand, it becomes very clear that such heavy-handed tactics are only possible where the public has been disarmed. Robert Bridge explains why Americans will never surrender their guns, even if it means peace with the police. Few people have been more maligned throughout the current pandemic than former Trump advisor Dr. Scott Atlas who questioned the effectiveness and collateral damage done by lockdown policies. The fact that he was correct is still lost on many. Atlas says science killed itself over Covid-19 by allowing those with agendas to hide behind it. There are two kinds of people in the world, those who read the fine print and those who don't. Allan Stevo says if you're serious about being a truth warrior, you've got to be willing to ask for and actually read source documents. This is so you don't inadvertently spread bad information or allow policy-maker's to exercise more power than they actually have. It's pretty commonplace now to explain the opposition to vaccine mandates on the part of the unvaccinated as the result of having been misled by "misinformation" on vaccines. That's one possible explanation but a more likely one is the one offered by Barry Brownstein: perhaps they recognize the totalitarian roots of vaccine mandates. Do your kids or grandkids watch Peppa Pig? I've yet to see the show but it's clearly a hit among youngsters. Annie Holmquist has a timely take on what kids are absorbing from shows like this and how to raise kids who aren't just little Peppa parrots. You've likely heard that 98% of the Covid hospitalizations and deaths have been among the unvaccinated but is that correct? Daniel B. Klein has some great information on the 98% propaganda being touted by authoritarians. A lot of big government types get squirrely whenever 9/11 approaches. James Corbett warns that this is a good time to be skeptical, especially of breathless warnings of potential attacks for which no substantive evidence exists.

“Authoritarianism indoctrinates its votaries and buffaloes others into a false and oversimplified worldview, in which the only important factor is vaccination. But the causes of hospitalization and death are multifarious.” ~ Daniel B. Klein

Certain words are central to our civilization, so it is good to reflect on their meaning. The most central words, such as the word liberty, often carry multiple meanings and has been the theme for debates over the centuries. The definition of and interpretation of the concept of liberty is key to the understanding of the liberal tradition, which is continuously under discussion and scrutiny. For Timbro these discussions are at the center of our interest. It is therefore a great pleasure for Timbro to host two of the most prominent participants in the debate on liberty in this week's Ideology Pod, professor Daniel B Klein and professor Helena Rosenblatt.   In this talk Dan Klein [econfaculty.gmu.edu] initially reviews four meanings of liberty, and relate those meanings to Benjamin Constant (1767-1830), Isaiah Berlin (1909-1997), and Raymond Aron (1905-1983). One of those meanings is the classical liberal meaning, centered on "others not messing with one's stuff", he says.    Helena Rosenblatt has argued recently [oll.libertyfund.org] in response to Klein's suggested interpretation of liberty “that it would be a great shame if any person calling themselves “liberal” adopted such a narrow and materialistic definition of liberty. In today's climate particularly, we need to draw on other resources within the liberal tradition to articulate and defend a more generous articulation.” Daniel Klein is Professor of Economics, JIN Chair at the Mercatus Center George Mason University and director of the Adam Smith Program. He is the author of Knowledge and Coordination: A Liberal Interpretation (OUP, 2012). He is chief editor of Econ Journal Watch.  Helena Rosenblatt, recent recipient of a prestigious Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship, teaches in the PhD Programs in History, French, and Politicial Science, and the MA Program in Liberal Studies at the Graduate Center at the City Universtiy of New York. She is also a faculty member of the M.A. Program in Biography and Memoir. Her 2018 book The Lost History of Liberalism: From Ancient Rome to the Twenty-first Century has been the theme for earlier talks on liberalism at Timbro.  Björn Hasselgren introduces the talk. Björn Hasselgren is Senior Fellow at Timbro and has a PhD from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and is a Guest Researcher at the Economic History Department at Uppsala University. He arranges Timbro activities in relation to the classical liberal heritage, such as the Classical Liberal Summer Seminar.

Guest speakers include Tim Spector, Eric Topol, Dr. Richard Levitan, Daniel B. Klein, Jerry Muller, Myron Scholes, David Blitzer, Ron Bernstein, Tom Shapiro, and Pamela Prickett.

Herd Immunity Is Misleading By Daniel B. Klein The expression “herd immunity” is misleading. Instead we should speak in a looser way of augmented immunity. The war on COVID-19 should not be waged as a big centrally commanded confrontation. It should be waged as guerilla warfare while making strides in augmented immunity.

Open access router network? The People’s Romance: Why People Love Government (as Much as They Do) by Daniel B. Klein http://www.independent.org/publications/tir/article.asp?a=536 ; http://www.independent.org/pdf/tir/tir_10_1_1_klein.pdf "Why do some people never support a free-market proposal, even when they think it would work better than government intervention? For many, the reason is that collective political action offers the romantic notion that 'we’re all working together,' while market mechanisms seem to them less lofty because they rely on the self-interest of individuals acting privately." (D.K.) TPR (the people's romance) encourages governmental intervention for its own sake Pundits constantly conflate Americans with government, i.e., the people in government who rule over them Fearing, revering, and worshipping power and the process of indoctrinating a public that kowtows to "authority"--main aspects of TPR Encompassing sentiment coordination of the WHOLE group, whether you like it or not, is the nature of TPR In actuality, there are no "citizens" and there is no "State"--both are arbitrary collectivistic and legal abstractions that lead to coercive control of rights-respecting people and distortion and destruction of entire economies Without imposing a communized infrastructure, government would lose all perceived legitimacy The in-group and out-group dynamic is also part of TPR--the out-group must be either shunned or subdued Libertarian aphorism: The are two types of people--those who want to be left alone and those who won't leave them alone Most slaves don't like seeing other slaves trying to break free of their shackles--so they attack them and keep all enslaved TPR lives off coercion The conceptual common denominator between fanciful Objectivist government and actual government is the coercive monopolization of its "services" Feelings are tools of evaluation, not tools of cognition; people can have "joyous" feelings based on a whole host of contradictions--though they betray their true selves, their authentic selves The three types of libertarians: classical liberals; laissez-faire capitalists (or minarchists); anarcho-capitalists, or market anarchists, or voluntarists (or agorists) TPR lies at the heart of communism The differences between working for a communist boss and a capitalist boss are immense, although oftentimes diminished in a mixed economy like today's Statists are afflicted with slavespeak (http://www.buildfreedom.com/tl/tl07a.htm) and the Stockholm Syndrome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome) The fatuous superstition of "the consent of the governed" leads to "being greater than kings and less than men" (de Toqueville) Taxation is an extortion racket to no end Lysander Spooner's 1840's attempt at competing with monopoly gang of the USPS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysander_Spooner#Early_years_and_the_postal_monopoly Statists' version of a "civilized society" is one in which rights-respecting people are forced to do things against their wills--oh so civilized, isn't it!

Failing to strike the root of the welfare state...Dr. No's statist insanity: Immigration Reform in 2006? by Ron Paul http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul343.html Free trade brings respectful relations with former strangers Advocates of TPR abhor people withdrawing their participation by pursuing private interests The "war on terrorism" is the "new giant in the parade of war frauds" (D.K.) What Michael Phelps Should Have Said: Smoking pot shouldn't be a crime. Or the public's business by Radley Balko http://www.reason.com/news/show/131438.html Contrast mj with alchohol toxicity: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahydrocannabinol#Toxicity The four proposed origins of TPR: 1) Socio-biological and cultural evolution [though there are no innate ideas] The Early Human Condition: http://www.logicallearning.net/libearlyhumancon.html 2) Society as family, government as parent Radical unschooling is the most enlightened and respectful method of parenting, thus enabling a future society of complete liberty; Dayna Martin: What is Radical Unschooling? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiHyzS26N0Y 3) Society as being, government as head We need better integration and understanding of the facets of self; The Art of Self-Discovery http://www.nathanielbranden.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=38 4) Society as organization, government as director The ills of identifying with the coercive gang and seeing their orders as legitimate Pursuing one's rational self-interest entails respecting the rights of other people Common decency entails respect for persons, property, and agreements Libertarian principles cannot engender TPR Wealth and technology enable people to withdraw and resist statism (http://freestateproject.org as a product of info tech) The process and goals of civil disobedience--coupled with education in libertarian principles Very commendable site: http://cdevolution.org/ Liberty lovers must raise "law enforcers'" awareness of the moral issues and make it unbearable for them (and statists in general) to pretend that their activities are legitimate, noble, and just Police and courts depend on individual rights-violators to rationalize their own rights-violating gang--thus perpetuating their immoral scheme of unjust laws Reaching out to the silent majority of Americans who share the libertarian credo of common decency is key to good activism :) bumper music "Spanish Romance" by Liona Boyd - First Lady of Guitar (Album: The Best of Liona Boyd) http://www.classicalguitar.com/ to comment, please go to http://completeliberty.com/magazine/category/91697
