16:55 "For most people, [their political views] are essentially a social calculation. Most people choose their political beliefs in the same way that high schoolers choose their shoes." -- Connor O'Keeffe
Brilliant summary.

Get the federals out of it. That fixes a lot. Let the individual states run their own experiments and learn from each other.

Still stolen money

@authenticallysuperficial9874 True, but the cantellon effect is much more stable when it's better decentralized in the stakeholders

[@Pau11Wa11]

Not sure why there are a handful of comments throwing shade at you guys. I appreciate this nuanced discussion. Thanks for breaking down the difference in motivations that lead different groups of people to overlap in their support of certain things.

Bob Murphy ❤ 👁️👄👁️ ❤

[@ipeteagles]

interesting discussion thanks

[@onlineadvertisingnet]

Crack Up Boom Imminent!

[@JonathanSchattke]

You added exactly NOTHING to understanding.

[@ea2631]

Someone will claim "the earth is flat and the moon isn't real" and Bob Murphy will say in refutation: "As reasonable as that statement truly is, it isn't exactly true. But remember I don't want to be unfair to the opposition folks"

[@mystifiedoni377]

There's no point to talking like this. Anyone who trusts you gets annoyed and anyone who doesn't isn't convinced. Just sounds like he doesn't know the situation at all but had to comment on something.

[@Guti3737]

This was an awful episode. Nothing substantive was said.

[@howelltaylor6774]

What is proportional response. in a War? What ever the sides that are fighting says it is! As for College Campuses there should be no protest allowed at all ever!

[@danielturner9832]

They should have taken their protests to DC. I have seen plenty of video showing the protests were rather quiet until the cops came in.
I have seen nothing yet of after they came in.

I think the students are smarter than this Connor guy. If he could do it so much better, then why doesn't he?

[@BobMurphyAncap]

I think the students would be guests on the Human Action podcast if they were smarter.

[@NickGore]

I believe it's because he doesn't agree with the motivation behind their outrage, Identity politics.

[@mattboyer3385]

​@NickGore, the other side is even more identarian given that their supporting an ethno state

[@ipeteagles]

@mattboyer3385 red herring. it's national sovereignty.

[@mattboyer3385]

@@ipeteagles their denying sovereignty to 5 million people

This economist is not only blind,but also doesn't know how to count.
He has 1 forma to calculate for his homeland and another 1 for holy land.
Story of Jewish people over thousands of years.
Nothing new under the sun,even in Austrian school which was established by mostly Jewish intellectuals.
Irony is crazy.
