Predatory animals aren't protected by animal cruelty laws. Huh. Where does that put humans who stalk, catfish, breadcrumb, lure, lure through Macheavelain practices, or otherwise obsessively try to control the well-being of another living thing? Do corporations count as animals? We people used to wonder if they counted as individuals. But people aren't animals. Right? We're conditioned to all the laws of nature like everything else that walks, crawls, flies or swims but...surely not animals. Do we eat? Do we sleep? Are we born live? Responsible in direct ways and in indirect ways to the cause of our death (whether or not we believe in the permanence of said death)? I don't know. I've only read the book he's talking about three (3) times. It's stupid.
You could technically read Crossing ahead of Horses but I don't see why you would want to. Cities brings the two protagonists from each novel together for the end.
I come to you because of McCarthy. I usually don’t watch your longer videos but this one I did. I have done shameful things in my youth. I can vouch that a boy/man can change. Whether it is for better or worse would be up to the individual. The route of holding dominion over our surroundings as a man is an easier route to go, but it is certainly not the correct one. Thank you for this video.
yeah, i would 2nd that. I would cringe for a teacher from my school years to assume I am the same person as a kid that I am now as a man in his 30s. we can grow, some take longer, but I wouldn't assume someone then is the same now.
Hey man, I'm sure that this is a response that you'll have anticipated, but I just gotta say it. Your reading of Genesis 1 does not do justice to what is going on here. Dominion speaks in part to a privileged position in creation. This is true, and so man is given the created world as his property in the same way that a king might have been understood to be the sole 'owner' his land. Contrary to what you seem to imply here however, this does not mean that creation is given over to man for tyrannical control or purely to satisfy some 'consumerist' tendencies. In fact, it comes with a great burden. This burden is his responsibility to creation. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, and there is a sense in which creation is entrusted to man by God as the proper burden for man to bear. I argue that Genesis, far from providing justification for the destruction, consumption, and arbitrary use of nature (hinging upon a proper understanding of God), places a particular responsibility upon mankind as Father, Brother, and Steward of the natural order. Adam is also given the task of 'naming' the animals, which I would argue is inseparable from 'coming to know' the animals. Names are connected with intimate knowledge, knowledge to love, love to understanding. I am not a historian, but it seems to be that somewhere around the realist/nominalist split in the high medieval period(which prefigured the modern age), that the reading of Genesis 1 began to take on this reading of absolute, arbitrary authority to 'dominate' and consume nature, as opposed to an earlier understanding of the kingly role as the fatherly role. If one's understanding of God's relationship to man is truly one of a loving father, to his child, then one's understanding of man's relationship to the natural world will be similar (because man is in God's image). However, the modern understanding of God has shifted from Being-as-such, from which creation flows as a product of Love, to an anthropomorphic, Brain-in-a-Vat, which makes arbitrary commands upon an arbitrarily created world. From such an understanding, it certainly would follow that man, in the image of such a being, would read Genesis 1 as a sort of licentious justification for whatever we want to do. While there may be many who accept this second interpretation without thought, I can't agree that this is the accurate, or traditional understanding -- and so I don't believe that scripture itself is implicated here.
To teach kids about ethical hunting what it means to take a life can be a great thing. Anyone using the Bible to justify the torcher of a living thing is is the same thing in my opinion the Nazis did with Frederick Nietzsche writing. Evil is never original it takes what can be used for good and makes the choice not to. Love the Cormac macarthy stuff. I've read lots in my life but have done audiobook this past year, I consider it cheating somehow
This is a terrible analysis. Billy did the same capturing and muzzling as your example. What Billy did differently was exercise his sovereign duty to restore his charge to its rightful place to the best of his ability.
Please read more about the climate crisis its much more complicated than that and since you are passing great messages please talk about it in your future episode and educate people about the role they can play in fixing it , excuse my bad English i love your channel cheers from Africa
I don’t care a whole lot if people used banned or bad words. I care more about what is true. So were these guys complaining in church actually wrong? What were they saying? Did they refer to DoJ crime statistics?

Nothing sent me back to Brooklyn faster than spending time in Appalachia.
Ian great rant! Congratulations on popping 10k
I signed up for a year..I've been down your road. I enjoy Your rants.
Do I need to read The Border Trilogy chronologically?

Just finished rereading this. Got way more out of the wisdom than the story.
Fuck yeah, didn't know you trained Jitsu. Martial arts and writing go quite well together. Great video as always, took something from this.
This is a terrible analysis. Billy did the same capturing and muzzling as your example. What Billy did differently was exercise his sovereign duty to restore his charge to its rightful place to the best of his ability.
What a break down! ❤
What a profile picture lol
Great video
