Circero said something like the "the pursuit of happiness" leads to goodness and vice versa. I believe he meant, ultimately. In other words, if we pursue an evil lifestyle, not only will we hurt others, but we will eventually hurt ourselves.
Reminds me a little bit about Foucault claiming that knowledge is power, which is used by (governmentality) institutions of healthcare, government, education, business. However, this speaker said liberalism just creates a space for individual values, but doesn't inform those values. "Physical world has no value except for human use." Hmm. Isn't that a Protestant view?
Brilliant! Important! Should every modern liberal and so-called conservative reflect on this.

This man is obviously a profound thinker, but he is unfortunately a very sloppy speaker.
Disagree. I understood his speaking fine
Many intellectuals have similar presentation stylistic issues. I run into this problem frequently.
@@Joeonline26I think he's pretty clear, though he sometimes takes a while to get to his point.
