Plutarch as Philosopher and Political Thinker: A Conversation with Hugh Liebert

Plutarch is one of history's most influential authors: his insights were foundational to thinkers ranging from William Shakespeare to Alexander Hamilton, Nietzsche to Montesquieu.

    Good discussion, keep speaking against what was done. AstraZenica was finally hauled into the federal court in Australia and forced to disclose the clinical trial data on adverse reactions to their product line and just withdrew it from global markets . Next is the case in Canada against Moderna. Progress is being made.

    31:00 What you are describing as your take on Marx is counter-Protestant (sinful nature concept), but it is in line with the state of human beings in the way they were created. Remember they did not have the knowledge of good and evil and therefore there was no inherent knowledge of ways internally, either good or evil. In that sense, humans indeed do not have a moral bearing within themselves. And indeed, we must derive that moral bearing from our relationship with the source and meaning of morality, God himself.

    It is unfortunate that the whole crux lies at his comments around 1:23:00 regarding what is crucially more important; the gossamer boogeyman of global warming or fomenting a strong and viable representative democracy through fiscal, border, and social responsibility. Now consider which US political party is apt to make those crucially hard and unpalatable policies?

    Podcasts? For many of us this is the preferred form of garnering opinions about a spectrum of topics and to do so in a manner that is less intrusive into everyday life's activities. Daily I download podcasts on to MP3 players that are listened to through out the day at my convenience as I accomplish the days work. This way I choose what I listen to versus what is available on radio, television, or the internet streaming services.

    Immigration - bipartisan failure - ignoramus. No mention of controlling border access as he prefers to states it is a case of legislative "immigration reform" that is needed. I wonder what the elder Ferguson would say?

    • @OlTrailDog
      @OlTrailDog Месяц назад

      Much to my surprise Niall gets around to partially answering the border question around 1:19:00 in that you don't have a country if you don't have a defensible border. However, this isn't "bipartisan" in that one party favors a defensible border and the other operates an open borders policies.

  • @OlTrailDog

    Unfortunately, his salient point regarding the rule of law fails if the legal systems acts corruptly, i.e. the New York prosecution of Trump/NDA Daniels trial. Scholars on both sides agree that that trial was a complete breakdown of American legal system and most likely will be overturned. Personally I have always planned to write in Ron DeSantis and I have not been a Trump supporter in 2024.

    Excellent point that the Government chose to implement lockdowns, as that was the historical prescribed method to deal with Bio-Terrorism. They obviously went down that path because they KNEW it was a leak from the Chinese lab and KNEW that it could potentially have been manipulated to be ultra contagious (or many other unknown malicious affects of genetic engineering). Fauci and the NIH KNEW this, but had to cover it up....hence all the FOI documents that come back redacted. Please think hard about this....why would the government need to redact info on public health?????

    RUclips is suppressing a comment. Before I submitted this entry the count was "4 Comments" but only 3 were displayed. I have had this happen to me many times. RUclips also hides this suppression from the person submitting the suppressed comment so they won't realize it. They make the comment visible to the person being suppressed as long as they are signed in. So if you want to see if your comment is suppressed, simply view the comments section without being signed in.

    And, of course, we are doing exactly the same thing to the global poor via "Green Energy" initiatives. One begins to see a pattern, with the affluent deliberately harming the poorest, most vulnerable. So, we get to see, quite clearly, for whom we are "saving the planet". On the Supreme Court and Jay's lawsuit, there is no ambiguity here. What the government did was wrong. If the Supreme Court is unable to see this, the Supreme Court has become irrelevant as a means of defending the rights of citizens since freedom of speech is paramount. This was not a case of war or invasion. What the government did killed people and ruined lives and the government did it knowingly. It's that simple.
