    This is easily one of the most profound speeches I've heard in a while. 10+ years ago Epstein had already made the connection between Hamilton's rule, Game Theory, and Economics. If people understood that negative rights produce positive sum systems and positive rights produce negative sum systems then there would be nothing to argue about. Positive sum systems are the only ones which last. Love you Epstein!

      Doesn’t the intellectual virtues and four cardinals virtues come into equation regarding natural law? The social sciences isn’t the natural sciences.

    I don't think he has ever read Hugo Grotius. Natural right is not something held by everyone similarly and equally. What is interesting about it is, it is relative to an individual's capacities. For example we may all have an equal right to breathe air even if a King orders us not to. Natural right limits a political authority's power. And some have a natural right to kill a Tyrant, if it would be good to kill him. So at a higher level natural right is only for the prudent.

    I'm 45, listening to hours of Richard Epstein lectures for $15 per month. Who could argue that's not _'a Hell of a Good Price!'_?
    The _Actual value of 'Subscription'_ would have a completely different meaning 75 years ago.
    Consider now, in 4.5 decades of me waiting for this "inexpensive" access- these lectures have become available for free online implicitly through those who paid greater _Factually Higher Costs_ to attain this exposure.

    He should read chapter 42 in Leviathan where Hobbes states his fear of the emancipation of the capitalists. And then consider the origins of economics in William Petty, a student of Hobbes, who founded 'political arithmetic.'

    This is primarily faulty, because it proposes that natural law is existend becuase of a greater social goods claim and proposes that this is the same as the thheory of individual rights as natural rights. Those are fundermentaly distinct theorries, except that you can make a claim that the idividual natural rights are inherently a good and the absence a bad, what is (I am reapeatying it) a coincidence to the broadbased social goods proposition, not in essence similar or same.

    • @catsaresocute650
      @catsaresocute650 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      what is then used in an argument against actions for the general well-being of people, what is hardly rational, except in the mind of this men, becuase the only possibly argument agianst actions for the weelbing of your fellow people in the broad social good sense is an inability to do so effectivly, what is an admission to current inability to do a substantive good, what is not a persuasive agrument in any sense

    Mesmerizing. However, not quite hypnotic enough to make us completely forget about Higher Law. William O. Douglas made reference to "pre-legal rights"--in effect, lifting us out of the realm of determinism. How Epstein manages to dance around a libertarian of Douglas' stature is a little bizarre. Whether or not one believes in a God, the most compelling argument for the libertarian position would be the emphasis on the creative aspect of the human being over and above the determinism which gushes forth here.
