    It may be a cliché to say, but it remains true-for most Jews around the world, October 7th triggered something deep within us, affecting our brain, nervous system, and perhaps even our very DNA. It profoundly altered the way we experience the world.

    The word liberal comes from līberālis (liberty, freedom). “World order“ is the opposite of this.
    Why would we think that small groups of transnational bureaucrats would make anyone more free, or handle 8 billion people‘s separate interests more effectively than local governments, or better yet, no government absent actual harm.

      The things human beings have achieved, from an organizational point of view, are too complex to continue running without some sort of government. Any agency created for a specific purpose is a way to streamline action and communication, essentially a division of labor. You can criticize current governments, agencies, the ways that any of these are run, but to suggest that countries can continue to function at today’s level with only local government or no government at all is a very naive and uneducated take. Take for example the coordination it takes to create a global flight system. That is not something thousands of local governments all over the world can coordinate, not to mention how much more expensive that would be if they tried

    • @VeniVidiVid
      @VeniVidiVid 16 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      @ It’s easy to assume that complex systems require management like government in order to coordinate. But the opposite is often true.
      Much like murmurations of birds or fish, individuals interacting with each other can seem to be planned, but they’re not (at least not singularly at a high level). The planning is distributed amongst millions or billions of participants. As you may be aware, the concept is called Emergent Order.
      Centralizing control to smaller and more distant groups of governors, increasingly invites authoritarian inefficiencies and abuse. Even if such limited and remote governing bodies are comprised entirely of geniuses and saints, they’d suffer from what FA Hayek would call the Knowledge Problem. They don’t know as much as the billions of participants do, distributed amongst themselves.
      This is not an argument against the rule of law. Ethical law stems from a need to mitigate harm. When there is no harm (voluntary trade, for example), no external law is required, or ethical.
      Ever more centralized governing structures inevitably become ever more abusive and stultifying.

I do not see the point in fleshing out my view because half the time on this channel I get shadowbanned and that makes it a waste of my time to put in the effort. "dialogue matters" indeed but it requieres one is heard/read.
      But here is one thing right at the beginning..the idea that these socalled 80 years of peace ( btw ignoring several wars even if you'd just be talking europe) are unprecedented in history is of course factually incorrect.
      If he considers past 80 years peace in spite of the cold war, the conflict in Kosovo, Algerian war which involved France, First Indochina war also France, The war in 1962 Portugal was involved in, the Troubles in Norther Ireland between Britain and Ireland, Falkland war between britain and Argentina, First Gulf war with both Britain and France being engaged in,10 day war in Slovenia, Bosnian war, War in Afhanistan with Britain, Germany and Italy engaged..if he considers that still a period of peace...there have been previous period that long or longer of such peace. Pax Romana springs to mind for instance. The guy is talking from not just westerncentric worldview but Britishcentric worldview and even then..as I just showed he is full of nonsense. That is just two reasons why I said what I said..the ignoring of loads of wars involving European nations and the complete Britishcentered worldview> And to think I didn't even get into every not very peaceful behavior the US engaged in!
