1
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:27,879
When we left off, we were talking about how
the committees were investigating the

2
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:37,920
origins of the education system and what is
it really doing versus what do people need

3
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,560
to survive and thrive in this world?

4
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:46,960
And they discovered there was more than a
crevasse, more than a Grand Canyon.

5
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,799
There was a gap between what we need to
survive and thrive and be successful

6
00:00:58,039 --> 00:01:01,399
And these committees kind of snapshot it and
said that there's some foundations and

7
00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:05,680
some things in action and they're trying to
evoke real change and they're going after

8
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:06,680
our children.

9
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:16,760
They were puzzled because they detected an
agenda but they couldn't figure the agenda

10
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:33,439
never able to finish thanks to the chief
counsel, was that Cox?

11
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:36,400
The chief counsel, well I know there was a
lawyer involved with the Reese committee,

12
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,439
Katherine Casey, who was the lawyer sent by
Norman Dodd to go into the archives of the

13
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,640
went there and saw the actual minutes and the
words of these men in these meetings planning

14
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,599
on how to take over this country and to take
over the diplomacy and power of war.

15
00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:00,879
Was Dodd the chief counsel for Reese?

16
00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:06,180
Dodd was the chief researcher and he was out
of J.P. Morgan earlier and he had said you

17
00:02:06,180 --> 00:02:09,560
guys need to return the sound back banking
and they said Norm we're going to let you

18
00:02:14,199 --> 00:02:18,879
because we think what they were describing as
communist activity from my research in

19
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:19,879
the comprehensive sense.

20
00:02:19,879 --> 00:02:29,819
Well they didn't see, that was the baton wall
of the moment and so that was the easiest

21
00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:47,099
So that gets back into Pestilosi, Laviter,
other people who were intellectual elites

22
00:02:47,099 --> 00:02:54,560
who joined clubs, it's like the Bavarian
Illuminati was one such club that has a lo...

23
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:59,319
elite of the area getting together and in
their drawing rooms they're drawing out the

24
00:03:04,099 --> 00:03:09,699
system in America it goes directly back to
Adam Weisauf's plans which are planned on

25
00:03:09,699 --> 00:03:14,539
earlier plans but still there is an organized
effort to go after our education system.

26
00:03:14,539 --> 00:03:23,219
Well there's one more reason to that, there
was the metaphysical club at Harvard right

27
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:40,479
James who is the reason we have a course in
colleges, academic psychology, that's James

28
00:03:40,479 --> 00:03:52,919
prestige brought that in and James was a kind
of, he had a ligature to Wundt although Wundt

29
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:09,099
in the metaphysical club besides William
James was John Dewey, Oliver Wendell Holmes

30
00:04:09,099 --> 00:04:17,699
and a number of other of the shapers of 20th
century American institutions.

31
00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:39,800
philosopher human history has produced, he
was, it's pronounced peers but it's spelled

32
00:04:51,180 --> 00:05:00,300
the pragmatic philosophy that William James
was probably the chief distributor of but

33
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:19,920
than James, James comes from a long
intellectual tradition, a genteel traditio...

34
00:05:32,019 --> 00:05:39,040
he doesn't make this connection but I have,
very similar to the old Norse religion that

35
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:48,040
said praise ice when crossed, the woman on
her deathbed, in other words no

36
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:06,480
was picked up by the way by Oliver Wendell
Holmes who then said truth and justice are

37
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:16,600
what the strongest members of society say
they are and any sane judge decides a case

38
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:33,199
I mean this is big time, radicalism, of
course they didn't see it that way at all,

39
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:44,279
it as nitty gritty truth and all these
superstitious sentimental additions had

40
00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:58,240
of Kantian philosophy where they remove cause
and effect and then their rationality can

41
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:12,879
be rationalized. Yes, of course they left
out, Kant is one of the three critiques,

42
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:31,319
for this group. But pragmatism, if you now
connect pragmatism with the concept of

43
00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:40,519
sinning from Calvin, you have an absolute
blank check in any situation to invent truth

44
00:07:51,480 --> 00:08:02,199
for doing that you want, seems to me that's
been the driving force in American affairs

45
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:21,360
elite, I believe through history, it's just
they didn't have the dominance the technology

46
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,480
gave them. Well Bertrand Russell has this
quote, he's often misquoted but when you

47
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:39,600
education is to remove individuality and
self-reliance and all these other things. ...

48
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:45,399
that Bertrand Russell was noticing that what
Feist in the 19th century was trying to do

49
00:08:45,399 --> 00:08:49,559
but didn't have the technology to do that
they now in the Norbert Wiener Bertrand

50
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:02,559
the same time and it's all done on a basis of
irrationality, a denial of cause and effect

51
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:09,279
but that goes back, you can start looking at
where the influence of utopia took place

52
00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:15,320
and took root in Francis Bacon with New
Atlantis and how it goes up and then it's

53
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:25,480
it's all just they want to do what they want
to do anyway and they just keep using

54
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:31,639
to kind of you know say well this is a good
reason why we're doing this. Yeah, yeah,

55
00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:39,360
Well here we are then. What thoughts do you
have about the amount of people in the

56
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:44,480
of this country that were literate versus the
amount of people that are literate today?

57
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:02,720
but don't hold me to that very very early on
showed a population that was for all

58
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:13,360
purposes entirely literate. We also have the
more than circumstantial evidence if you

59
00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:36,360
today and it's as well known a novel as
Fenimore Cooper's Last of the Mohicans is ...

60
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:56,600
and politics history of all sorts is so
comprehensive and interwoven that the

61
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:21,120
common sense sold 600,000 sold in a
population of three million you know a

62
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:39,159
Chicago because so many people were literate
the origins of this country they were able

63
00:11:39,159 --> 00:11:45,440
to publish these pamphlets and so when you'd
have propaganda on behalf of the elector of

64
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:57,000
Payne who's not from America he emigrated
here and he doesn't have a formal education

65
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,399
but all but somehow he figures out how to put
things together for himself and speak

66
00:12:01,399 --> 00:12:07,200
in a way such that the common person can
really get something from this and you kno...

67
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:13,080
not so much his aspect you know his
propaganda he's propagating an idea but ju...

68
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:22,360
pick up these ideas without being through
their formal schooling has the power to

69
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:31,519
and influence a country and inspire a
revolution etc. etc. Oh yes and in Payne's

70
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:40,679
he had mastered is even today when I tell
kids it's priceless to master no complexity

71
00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:58,980
to plain talk and speech without without
harming the delicacy of the idea and Payne

72
00:12:58,980 --> 00:13:06,600
really hit that on the button he's quite a
model in a sense it's like if you want to

73
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:20,879
Mars books because you just propelled from
beginning to end on a somewhat more rarefied

74
00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:30,639
level Dickens had that ability and of course
it could be distributed wholesale but doing

75
00:13:39,399 --> 00:13:44,320
you teach people to speak and think in
academia.

76
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:54,540
think in academies, you reduce their
effectiveness to their associates there. S...

77
00:14:07,560 --> 00:14:15,300
vanished from use. There was constant talk of
something called the act of literacy. As

78
00:14:27,020 --> 00:14:33,780
to be able to master spoken speech, you can
talk to anybody, and they can actually

79
00:14:33,780 --> 00:14:40,060
what you're saying, or written speech, we're
known as the act of literacies. The British

80
00:14:48,780 --> 00:14:55,500
of literacies, not reading, because you want
your flunkies to be able to read so they can

81
00:14:55,500 --> 00:15:03,100
follow your orders so you can go and play
golf or go fishing, but to actually

82
00:15:12,380 --> 00:15:22,620
are, you find in the handful of elite private
boarding schools, this tradition preserved.

83
00:15:22,620 --> 00:15:30,820
And in fact, in the academy tradition all
over the world, there's a clear understanding

84
00:15:37,980 --> 00:15:48,940
you know, nothing about, is to be able to
speak fluently even on things you don't. Y...

85
00:15:48,940 --> 00:15:57,660
see, and I would love to know how it's done,
the current president is masterful, not just

86
00:16:07,660 --> 00:16:14,340
Where on earth was that training? There are
little figures he uses that have fancy Latin

87
00:16:14,340 --> 00:16:26,259
names to them. There. Of course, Bill Clinton
was no slouch, but he comes out of a populist

88
00:16:37,980 --> 00:16:46,660
science of speech. And I listen to the
modulations and how he can shift from one

89
00:16:55,780 --> 00:17:02,620
who's my mommy, you know, something
intervened there. It's no accident, by the

90
00:17:02,620 --> 00:17:11,820
Bill Clinton suddenly emerges from a state in
which Rockefeller is the governor.

91
00:17:19,299 --> 00:17:30,860
fact that he steered into Yale, which is
probably of the elite universities, the on...

92
00:17:30,860 --> 00:17:39,059
the class tradition, the British class
tradition, most actively alive. In fact, t...

93
00:17:47,579 --> 00:17:55,740
this together. So they bailed out of Harvard,
headed west, dropped the biggest load, no

94
00:17:55,740 --> 00:18:03,380
pun intended in New Haven, but continued on a
line that you can trace all the way across

95
00:18:16,539 --> 00:18:23,940
ago, and don't ask me to reclaim it now, but
I once actually did trace the movement from

96
00:18:23,940 --> 00:18:32,579
the evacuation of Harvard in about 185, 1810.
What had happened was, the Unitarians who

97
00:18:44,180 --> 00:18:54,579
convert to whatever religion had a church in
the area. Then when they were the majority,

98
00:19:01,940 --> 00:19:11,860
parish. The entire Massachusetts school
committee, no accident, every last member ...

99
00:19:11,860 --> 00:19:18,220
even though there were less than 1% of the
Massachusetts population, because they

100
00:19:30,980 --> 00:19:43,420
clothing. They have a big laugh at how easy
it is. The funny thing is that Kitty

101
00:19:53,420 --> 00:20:03,380
around, but Beatrice is the welfare state
architect. She was the niece of Herbert

102
00:20:16,620 --> 00:20:25,300
on his deathbed for six weeks, and both of
them agreed they were after the identical

103
00:20:35,220 --> 00:20:44,900
Darkness, and she said kill them with
kindness. I noticed you had Ein Rand on yo...

104
00:20:44,900 --> 00:20:53,220
The idea of taking care of somebody else,
apart from the innocent charitable thing,

105
00:21:02,259 --> 00:21:10,779
the Fabian, and the great conservative,
Herbert Spencer, same bloodline, same goal...

106
00:21:10,779 --> 00:21:15,019
methodology. Fabian Socialists also founded
the London

107
00:21:15,019 --> 00:21:20,220
School of Economics, among many other things.
Sydney and Beatrice Webb were working with

108
00:21:27,940 --> 00:21:32,460
that was spinning in that crowd was a guy
named William T. Stead, who was editor of

109
00:21:32,460 --> 00:21:38,059
the Reviews, died in the Titanic, and was the
editor-in-chief over that last will and

110
00:21:38,059 --> 00:21:46,980
testament of Cecil John. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of
course, and I have no idea how he pronounced

111
00:21:54,340 --> 00:22:04,180
what was, oh, a sort of international spy
series on television about 20 years ago,

112
00:22:04,180 --> 00:22:15,579
Rigg, what was the female lead, and Stead was
an inside joke. Kind of like the James

113
00:22:20,420 --> 00:22:24,340
an ornithologist, which is a bird watcher,
which is what James Bond is. He's watching

114
00:22:24,340 --> 00:22:29,300
girls and playing this whole game for the De
Beers cartel, which controls.

115
00:22:29,300 --> 00:22:37,500
And if you believe in justified sinning,
that's what a license to kill is, it's for

116
00:22:37,500 --> 00:22:41,579
or whoever. Well, and Thomas Payne had some
words to

117
00:22:46,980 --> 00:22:51,579
and these sort of ideas where somebody is
born into a situation where they're allowed

118
00:22:51,579 --> 00:22:56,480
to rule over other people, and that's a
collectivist mentality where they expect y...

119
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:02,780
yourself to the state. So, Prussian schooling
is definitely created to uphold that status

120
00:23:02,780 --> 00:23:07,780
quo. What is the equal and opposite? How do
people transition themselves and remain

121
00:23:11,220 --> 00:23:21,660
Well, I think there are a variety of smaller
inspirations besides the fact that if you

122
00:23:21,660 --> 00:23:30,420
and I are correct, it's the natural instinct
of people who sort of been made aware of the

123
00:23:41,259 --> 00:23:48,940
beautiful churches that once I believe you
couldn't vote in this state unless you were

124
00:24:01,380 --> 00:24:10,740
writ large because they met together once a
year," and he said, "That will ruin you

125
00:24:19,700 --> 00:24:29,820
I don't know how they've mutated through
history, and the minister is simply the

126
00:24:29,820 --> 00:24:37,140
the moment to organize the back and forth.
But the minute the minister becomes cheekier

127
00:24:42,980 --> 00:24:51,019
a functionary, the Congregation gets the word
directly from God. This is, of course,

128
00:24:51,019 --> 00:25:03,579
Martin Luther's enormous breakthrough, which
he couldn't sustain. That's probably the

129
00:25:12,460 --> 00:25:19,099
The Communications Direct Congregationalists
modified it and said there's some value in

130
00:25:19,099 --> 00:25:25,740
other people's opinion, but not too many
other. The people who show up and donate t...

131
00:25:38,660 --> 00:25:46,940
These dissenting and independent religions
that were unwelcome in Britain came here in

132
00:25:58,300 --> 00:26:05,180
That was one source. I think the scale of the
country itself, which couldn't be really

133
00:26:05,180 --> 00:26:14,619
monitored until very recently, long ago it
occurred to me that when you have to depend

134
00:26:24,420 --> 00:26:30,740
know what you're doing. Once a year, a blue
moon, they send somebody out and you say

135
00:26:30,740 --> 00:26:39,660
the guy wants to hear. Back goes. It looks
like everything's cool. That's how we had.

136
00:26:48,759 --> 00:26:57,860
sure it's because this ferment on the fringe,
which isn't very far away, eventually is

137
00:26:57,860 --> 00:27:04,259
to the idea that the hierarchy must be
preserved.

138
00:27:04,259 --> 00:27:07,340
I think that's just a sign that there's so
many people in this country. When things can

139
00:27:12,059 --> 00:27:16,420
no one left to form a sentence, let alone a
paragraph, let alone have the power to get

140
00:27:16,420 --> 00:27:23,500
it printed in front of millions of people
anymore. That's what I noticed.

141
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:23,320
millions of people anymore and that's what i
noticed no editor would dare print it anyw...

142
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:31,560
the ads would draw up senator oscar coway in
1917 addressed the congress and he said th...

143
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,519
morgan interest the shipbuilding powder
interests had all gotten together and boug...

144
00:27:36,519 --> 00:27:41,240
you know they placed editors at the top 25
newspapers in order to control the content on

145
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:53,400
council on foreign relations which goal is to
kind of control and mold the minds of the

146
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:59,720
official experts and historians and so these
clothes won't leave uh how about harry truman

147
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:10,519
speech before the u.s senate in 1942
denouncing the rock of feller interest as

148
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:26,280
the same thing making the german can selling
them to the french or anyone else who woul...

149
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:37,480
they had already become a virtual global
society but uh truman's denunciation of the

150
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:52,840
sharing with generations of school kids now
doesn't exist for all practical purposes

151
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:59,080
unless you're willing to sit in the well my
generous sit in the library stacks and go

152
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:05,800
i did that in columbia i said i'm going to
find out oh no i'm going back to

153
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:24,519
there's these huge stacks of popular
magazines that's you know i'm interested t...

154
00:29:24,519 --> 00:29:33,240
what the popular newspapers and magazines
said about the second world war before it

155
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:51,640
was a certainty there was going to be war but
no worry at all they all agreed that there

156
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:59,000
ability on the part of any potential enemy to
sustain a war that all the gains would be

157
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:16,120
british start the war with a larger air force
than the germans and more advanced

158
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:21,880
but they could replace their losses and the
germans couldn't and the jabs couldn't at all

159
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:28,920
so they ended the war with the same plane
they began the war with well this was

160
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:43,240
dissidence in the population always is to
declare a national emergency then you have...

161
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:50,840
foreclosing freedom of speech what did
quigley do that was so unique or remarkabl...

162
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:11,000
university no marginal school what he did was
use his invitation to be the only human be...

163
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:18,120
invited to view the files of the council on
foreign relations and i believe it's

164
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:38,519
fairly small print and he made the fatal
mistake of being a superb writer and thinker

165
00:31:38,519 --> 00:31:47,960
so that it's accessible to anyone who gets a
hold of a copy of the book that was quite

166
00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:05,320
this big so an editor asked to vet the thing
and make sure yeah yeah yeah and after all

167
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:17,640
this guy's saved out it goes macmillan
publishes that sells out instantly instant...

168
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:35,160
date the time the actual letters oh good god
well somebody got hung for that macmillan

169
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:43,800
plates told quigley there was no interest in
the book at all broke the plate so it

170
00:32:52,360 --> 00:33:00,920
on the stack saying that they lied to him
that they had tons of who wouldn't want to

171
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:12,039
i spent six months looking for a copy of the
book and finally found one in in the rare

172
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:32,360
cities i got a call mysterious call from a
fellow i think he turned out to be a denti...

173
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:41,400
show okay i'd stand on teeth yes stand on
teeth he said i understand you're looking ...

174
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:50,600
do you know where yes he said i have some
copies of course he had reprinted the copies

175
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:58,920
and after one teeth over the next couple of
years several other people had taken

176
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:09,159
the the car the the macmillan and reprinted
it so much in fact that it became the basi...

177
00:34:17,720 --> 00:34:27,880
the story was not has delivered not not in
junior high and not at harvard it was a

178
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:36,039
it was a story that could accommodate two
fraternity brothers at Yale running agains...

179
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:58,039
pros and his really interesting mind and his
confession that he agreed with the pot he

180
00:34:58,039 --> 00:35:05,559
is a good roman catholic didn't apply with
the secrecy he said i believe there's noth...

181
00:35:17,159 --> 00:35:24,840
mean it's an easy read because so well
written but it's a big chunk he says for

182
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:45,079
weapons and to reach the acme of liberty they
have to have the same weapons available to

183
00:35:45,079 --> 00:35:52,760
that the government has available to them and
yet we're not talking about some guy and

184
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:06,199
american revolution uh the the people who are
fighting against the british government ha...

185
00:36:06,199 --> 00:36:11,720
arms you know they were landowners they had
they had interest to fight over it that

186
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:17,480
equal in the 1930s with mechanized warfare
and mass production because they've had

187
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:22,039
in place for 80 years now everyone's an
obedient worker and omp spraka allows a lo...

188
00:36:25,559 --> 00:36:29,159
responsibility and now it's their duty and
all the things that milgram drove home

189
00:36:29,159 --> 00:36:33,880
experiments look these people will kill their
people if you put a white coat on yes yes

190
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:45,400
well it's quite exciting i mean it's it's a
hideous turn in human history but it's quite

191
00:36:57,159 --> 00:37:08,360
arabs have done the only thing of which there
isn't a successful defense and that's to

192
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:24,920
not women very often but still they're
beginning to appear as human weapons

193
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:34,280
what you can do is suppress that activity but
you can't do it and say where it is a free

194
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:49,079
have you seen the the first edition i have
and i'm wondering when mcmillan has been

195
00:37:49,079 --> 00:37:56,440
reprint it very recently last year or two and
i'm wondering and you only have to delete

196
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:14,680
young eyes a lot of stamina ought to sit with
the original edition and the reprint just to

197
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:20,039
make sure so we're doing tomorrow afternoon
we have a first edition and we have several

198
00:38:27,159 --> 00:38:33,559
the idea and i could say there's the
project's underway and want to send an old

199
00:38:33,559 --> 00:38:39,000
absolutely what do you think about quigley's
book anglo-american establishment you know...

200
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:48,760
again i was impressed by the thinking and the
scholarship but i think the presentation

201
00:38:50,119 --> 00:38:57,320
puts it beyond the reach not beyond the
understanding but beyond the reach of

202
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:08,840
ordinary people without a coach and i do
think we have a pressing need to find with...

203
00:39:19,720 --> 00:39:28,039
things i've been rewriting for years because
i'll i'll try them out and i'll feel that ...

204
00:39:28,039 --> 00:39:37,559
misses how that that that plugs in it's
almost as if the audience needs a little b...

205
00:39:42,199 --> 00:39:47,000
to reignite their learning and then once they
bring their attention and consciousness up a

206
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,680
little bit then they can receive some of
these other messages in the meantime we ca...

207
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:57,640
and help them kind of get that the uh we
mentioned this earlier but the great favor

208
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:16,360
are full Irishers and i say don't trust an
old broken down school teacher pick the bo...

209
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:28,280
go to the Irish sections because it's
unmistakable his scorn and contempt to

210
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:37,480
the Spanish is irredeemable there's a quite a
little catalog of people not Swedish bonds

211
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:45,159
no Darwin does that because instead of
observing how things actually work they we...

212
00:40:45,159 --> 00:40:49,640
carry out an agenda so he creates these ideas
and he said under these ideas you people c...

213
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,400
what you want and it's going to make them
hopeless and if you think you're hopeless

214
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,400
really aspiring to climb up any ladder
because there's no ladder because you've b...

215
00:40:57,900 --> 00:40:59,900
and he gets them to basically

216
00:40:59,900 --> 00:41:06,019
Self amputate their curiosity and then they
bring in compulsory schooling and that

217
00:41:06,019 --> 00:41:10,639
Well, you won't be curious anymore. Ask me. I
think I think Darwin himself

218
00:41:10,639 --> 00:41:13,639
had a lot of

219
00:41:13,639 --> 00:41:18,559
He's not innocent, but he had a lot of
innocence in his character

220
00:41:18,559 --> 00:41:21,000
Galton has none

221
00:41:27,199 --> 00:41:30,039
damage and to

222
00:41:30,039 --> 00:41:36,480
Institutionalize the anti-educational nature
of school. Once it's institutionalized

223
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:44,400
Nobody has to know what's going on. That's
the way you make your living and if you if

224
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,400
to extend the privileges of

225
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,559
the

226
00:41:56,559 --> 00:42:02,559
Establishment and that is no way they retain
power or income

227
00:42:02,559 --> 00:42:05,079
if you were to find

228
00:42:05,079 --> 00:42:08,400
substitutions for the purchased

229
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,000
supposed

230
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,599
improvements in

231
00:42:12,599 --> 00:42:15,880
curriculum, I mean the truth is superb

232
00:42:19,739 --> 00:42:27,719
To deliver if you understand what it is what
you're aiming for and what you can use

233
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,199
It's a lot easier if you have if you have
money

234
00:42:31,199 --> 00:42:37,599
But what money is usually used for is to
purchase layer after layer of

235
00:42:37,599 --> 00:42:42,079
Interventions and those interventions prevent

236
00:42:42,079 --> 00:42:45,159
the educational result

237
00:42:47,119 --> 00:42:53,839
Compare and contrast how Adam Smith felt
about money and the earning of it to to

238
00:42:53,839 --> 00:42:57,639
Where it's just earned to buy more and
compulsory, you know status

239
00:42:57,639 --> 00:43:05,759
What do you say so status symbols, you know
conspicuous consumption these I must say I...

240
00:43:05,759 --> 00:43:11,559
Enough of a favorite at the Cato Institute
that I was named

241
00:43:17,219 --> 00:43:21,000
That's when did you know Marshall Fritz?

242
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,519
Okay, he was a legendary

243
00:43:24,519 --> 00:43:27,679
member

244
00:43:27,679 --> 00:43:31,519
When I discovered what Adam Smith

245
00:43:31,519 --> 00:43:39,079
Actually said which I wouldn't deny that key
people at Cato also know I

246
00:43:42,119 --> 00:43:46,920
Problematical because in theory of moral
sentiments

247
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:52,440
Smith, so I'm going to give a shorthand here
Smith says

248
00:43:52,440 --> 00:44:01,079
That the spend your time making money as a
mark of insanity and what it'll buy you is...

249
00:44:01,079 --> 00:44:07,960
But we should be grateful to the people who
do that because they assemble capital

250
00:44:11,759 --> 00:44:15,679
You know improvements for everybody else

251
00:44:15,679 --> 00:44:20,679
I don't think the religion of of

252
00:44:20,679 --> 00:44:23,920
Libertarian capitalism

253
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,599
Wishes that

254
00:44:26,599 --> 00:44:32,199
Complication to be well understood because
there's no way to explain it away

255
00:44:38,199 --> 00:44:42,840
He's very very clear. You got to be nuts to
assemble capital

256
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:47,880
What lessons can be learned from Ben Franklin

257
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:57,559
Franklin's life is the best lesson Franklin
was such I almost slipped into Pittsburgh

258
00:44:57,559 --> 00:45:00,719
profanity, but I won't

259
00:45:03,079 --> 00:45:05,079
Franklin

260
00:45:05,079 --> 00:45:13,679
Was not a morally nice human being in any way
in fact his his son broke off contact

261
00:45:13,679 --> 00:45:20,199
With him and never spoke to him again for the
rep for 40 years for the rest of their life

262
00:45:20,199 --> 00:45:25,000
So Franklin was the ultimate pragmatist

263
00:45:32,319 --> 00:45:35,119
financed the revolution

264
00:45:35,119 --> 00:45:39,400
Talked about this marvelous Quaker. I mean he
was like a national

265
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:44,920
Sensation over there and he didn't disguise
in his dress

266
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,960
I mean he camouflaged himself

267
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:54,480
Sort of he always walked a line where he
could justify what he was doing

268
00:45:56,199 --> 00:45:58,319
But his life is

269
00:45:58,319 --> 00:46:01,559
Evidence from a huge

270
00:46:01,559 --> 00:46:06,619
That probably a lower middle-class family a
candle maker

271
00:46:06,619 --> 00:46:09,139
They always had food on the table

272
00:46:09,139 --> 00:46:17,079
But his autobiography is worth its weight in
gold many times because he explains how

273
00:46:17,079 --> 00:46:23,420
You can introduce the highest level
curriculum imaginable

274
00:46:30,340 --> 00:46:37,880
You know, it's a elastic theory would bring
in every night a stranger from the street

275
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:42,199
said an extra place at table so that the

276
00:46:42,199 --> 00:46:44,759
You know in the house

277
00:46:44,759 --> 00:46:48,639
Culture could be infused with fresh

278
00:46:48,639 --> 00:46:51,559
input

279
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,480
Decided the without

280
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:06,539
Mastering high-level written prose their
opportunity. I mean he's 11 years old

281
00:47:06,539 --> 00:47:11,960
And they say how are we going to get a
big-time literary style?

282
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,679
when nobody

283
00:47:14,679 --> 00:47:17,000
they

284
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,539
They take the New Yorker magazine of the day

285
00:47:23,319 --> 00:47:29,079
Written or read by only the most hoity-toity
and

286
00:47:29,079 --> 00:47:38,679
They rewrote the articles in their own words
and then would present the rewrite to

287
00:47:38,679 --> 00:47:41,599
Could you tell me where this?

288
00:47:41,599 --> 00:47:49,699
article might have come from and when
everyone said oh, that's Tatler or spectat...

289
00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:04,019
These are 11 12 year old boys and he's doing
it while he's working a

290
00:48:04,019 --> 00:48:06,840
60 hour week at

291
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:12,639
Labor and he's putting capital aside for his
own business

292
00:48:12,639 --> 00:48:18,679
By selling beer to the printers at their
lunch hour

293
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:33,639
You're letting these guys go for lunch. Some
of them are coming back. Woozy. Some of th...

294
00:48:33,639 --> 00:48:41,759
Let me bring the buckets of beer in make a
penny and they'll be trained to the machine

295
00:48:41,759 --> 00:48:45,599
That's been frank on my two

296
00:48:48,079 --> 00:48:55,840
Accomplishments, I mean he's the reason we
have a post office. He's the reason there'...

297
00:48:55,840 --> 00:49:03,799
He's probably the reason the German is in a
co-evil

298
00:49:03,799 --> 00:49:06,759
In Pennsylvania

299
00:49:06,759 --> 00:49:14,920
Because all these little German potas groups
were not speaking English any more than

300
00:49:21,519 --> 00:49:32,440
Pressure and penalties on them if they if
their kids weren't surrendered to English

301
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:38,259
Example of what nobody can do

302
00:49:38,259 --> 00:49:43,159
If they know what to do and have some
discipline

303
00:49:49,599 --> 00:49:55,679
Franklin's autobiography very very slowly do
not read it for the

304
00:49:55,679 --> 00:50:02,440
Story but for the details and you have a
formula that anybody could use

305
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,480
So there's for Ben Franklin

306
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:13,279
What could a student learn from the life
experiences young life experiences of Thom...

307
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:17,480
mr. Edison

308
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:24,359
Bet have from New Jersey begged his mother
not to waste his time

309
00:50:24,359 --> 00:50:31,199
Sending him to school this before he was 12
years old and to allow him

310
00:50:31,199 --> 00:50:38,599
to go west where during the Civil War where
opportunity was burgeoning and

311
00:50:38,599 --> 00:50:43,619
She let him do it a thousand miles from home

312
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:55,559
You know at at whistle stops you go out and
buy

313
00:50:55,559 --> 00:50:58,480
sodas or coffee

314
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:03,759
You know you're everybody's fact totem, but
he talked the train

315
00:51:03,759 --> 00:51:09,480
Into letting him put a broken down printing
press in the box car

316
00:51:16,059 --> 00:51:18,800
He knew that the train

317
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:25,639
Stations got Civil War news at the same time
the newspapers did

318
00:51:25,639 --> 00:51:30,199
But the newspapers didn't come out to certain
hours

319
00:51:30,199 --> 00:51:37,239
He used his printing press to run current
Civil War news instead of washing off

320
00:51:44,179 --> 00:51:48,239
Because he wasn't the nicest kind of the
world

321
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,659
He varied the price from a nickel to a
quarter

322
00:51:51,659 --> 00:51:57,559
Depending on what the audience could pay he
put together a

323
00:51:57,559 --> 00:52:02,279
Substantial stake that founded his own

324
00:52:02,279 --> 00:52:05,679
Plus he used the stake

325
00:52:09,899 --> 00:52:12,559
three businesses

326
00:52:12,559 --> 00:52:14,880
each one of which

327
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:18,199
depended on the advantage he had

328
00:52:18,199 --> 00:52:21,579
by going up and down the

329
00:52:21,579 --> 00:52:25,000
Michigan length

330
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:29,920
There now let me see that some years away
from that one of them

331
00:52:36,420 --> 00:52:39,880
Magazines and newspapers free

332
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:46,199
He just picked him up at some drop point and
he could put anyone out of business

333
00:52:46,199 --> 00:52:53,119
Because he didn't really have to charge much
to do that there were a couple of other

334
00:52:53,119 --> 00:52:59,759
I think one was a a food business so that
when he ran out to get something for the

335
00:53:03,579 --> 00:53:06,519
He of course has

336
00:53:06,519 --> 00:53:09,599
1007 patents

337
00:53:09,599 --> 00:53:16,759
Without a day in college. In fact when he
founded GE one called you he was that's wh...

338
00:53:16,759 --> 00:53:20,000
He made the test for

339
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:27,599
Hiring executive staff so hard that he used
to laugh and say nobody with a college degree

340
00:53:30,039 --> 00:53:32,800
Now notice if all of this

341
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:38,639
Documented history was and it's your
birthright if this were

342
00:53:38,639 --> 00:53:46,639
Shared with you and third grade and fourth
grade and fifth grade notice that you woul...

343
00:53:46,639 --> 00:53:48,319
12

344
00:53:48,319 --> 00:53:54,279
With a whole different idea of what your
prospects were rather than your hands shaking

345
00:53:59,399 --> 00:54:02,719
Your career

346
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:06,039
I mean, it's a colossal

347
00:54:06,039 --> 00:54:11,679
Crime and I'm speaking now as a detective
story

348
00:54:11,679 --> 00:54:14,480
Fan

349
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:18,599
You know, I'm staying away from the moral
high

350
00:54:26,159 --> 00:54:31,960
for the people who do this it is good because
as

351
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:35,319
The Starwinds

352
00:54:35,319 --> 00:54:39,559
Malthus as Thomas Malthus says clearly in his
essay

353
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:49,160
climbing the mountain the high ground the
moral mountain he says it's a kindness the...

354
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:58,200
are doomed to such miserable lives that to
hasten their demise is a great kindness

355
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:11,160
you're doing god's work he of course was a
person of the church of England which

356
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:21,640
Charles was trained to be but but you know
left and at Galton we had people like

357
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:27,480
Libman and Bernays who recognized that people
were inherently irrational and instead of

358
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:41,880
even that's Spinoza as the author of that get
ahold of uh they're around a translation

359
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:54,680
of trectatus religico politicus published in
1690 and any outlook you have on Spinoza

minute who was nicola macchiavelli and why
