She received her American citizenship!
That’s really inspiring. “Wherever you want to go, it’s your thinking that will get you there”
Without truth and love, the world will become hell.
19:30 Yoko Ono and Jonh Lennon. Gatto's teenagers flip the decision.
6:00 13 yr old girl Milagro breaks the system
What an excellent video! Well done! It explains and summarises some of Ayn Rand’s philosophy so well! Many, many thanks. 🙏👍😁
So many lies and brainwashing!! This video shows just how ignorant you are! Go do yourself a favor and read some history daughter!
I wonder what happened to her Mom and sister. She probably can not say. Sad shes in America and she probably can not say.
She was evil calling Palestinians parasites and primitive
How did she know about the German story if they didn't know anything about anything beyond North Korea, this is meant with total respect for her story , I'm just confused .
"This country was formed to be run by individual," as Yeonmi reminded us. And so every individual needs to participate in the running of it. Great reminder! Thank you, Yeonmi, for fighting so hard for the people of our country.
That is insane that this happens to children!!
“This so called is-ought problem is a fallacy” Which fallacy is it exactly? I’ll wait no problem!! Imagine actually using the pseudonym “THE WORLD TEACHER”? Words like word salad, likes the sound of their own voice and COPE come to mind!! If you’ve solved the is-OUGHT problem using philosophical naturalism as your grounding philosophy then I suggest that you submit your repeatable scientific experiments to a peer reviewed journal quickly before someone steals your genius!! The shallowness and bankruptcy of your strictly reductive, atheistic, nihilistic fan fiction is showing!! How about supporting your statement that David Hume committed a logical fallacy with actual arguments instead of employing the logical fallacy of argumentation through assertion? Sorry but the fact is that David Hume helpfully pointed out that the “natural sciences” can’t prove anything as they are provisional and can only infer!! It’s a constantly changing landscape regarding what [is] not what [OUGHT] to be!! Which clearly leaves a permanent and enormous explanatory gap!! You seriously haven’t done your homework!! Equally, the fact is that according to the (National Academy of Science)… "Whether there is a purpose to the universe or a purpose for human existence are not questions for science." (National Academy of Science). By the way, you just totally and utterly refuted yourself!! Moreover, the fact is that if you subscribe to a strictly reductive materialism, atheism or philosophical naturalism you will inevitably ALWAYS, ALWAYS have enormous explanatory gaps because you cannot derive [OUGHTS] from what just [is]!! The natural sciences are purely descriptive not prescriptive- right? This is basic philosophy of science 101. You are now in the domain of metaphysics buddy!! And that’s the immaterial domain isn’t it? The prescriptive laws of logic are immaterial, invariant, conceptual realities and morality is also the domain of metaphysics. So you clearly have an enormous explanatory gap and an enormous burden of proof. Especially if you subscribe to a strictly reductive materialism, atheism or philosophical naturalism that clearly excludes metaphysical realities - right? You can’t escape metaphysics, that is you can’t escape TRUTH and VALUE. it’s like logic, to deny it is to use it. It’s proof is in its denial!! “Philosophy always buries its undertakers." Indeed, you can't get away from philosophy. It's like logic. To deny it is to use it.” C. S. Lewis famously wrote. David Hume and Max Planck also famously wrote… “You can not get an (OUGHT) out of an (is)” (David Hume). “Science progresses one funeral at a time” (Max Planck). Sorry!
Everybody saying Yeonmi is lying should go to North Korea
23:10 "A foolish consistency is the hob goblin of little minds.". ~ George Waldo Emerson. Good for you Amala for changing your mind.
12:00 How is it that OBAMA had the same care privledge, loving white mother upbringing and came to the opposite conclusion about white people?! 🤔
Gaza is not a country, and it never will be
The west must heed the dangers of socialism. Our children are being brainwashed at our schools, colleges and universities. Be carful what you wish for.
Inspiring lecture! I must read Will Cather's great American novel.
Individualism, the cause of the downfall of the west.
She is a perfect example of everything that's wrong with the world!!! Me....Me...Me!!! Sad if you live as she suggests You will lead a Very Lonely Life!!!
Selfish nihilistic worldview.

I respect Ayana, and much of what she speaks about, but to say that you researched and could not determine what “woke” is, to then say it’s equivalent to a “serial killer” just makes her sound like a mouth peice for the right.
Blablabla
You cannot change who you are, you only change what you show others. Problem is most people cannot see behind what the other person shows to the outside world and the other person themself dont know who they really are. Thats why unconditional love is so precious and for the most people unimaginable. And yes it makes mockery of "normal love" because normal love means you dont know yourself and the other person good enough.
Self esteem is the ego, and the more you feed your ego the more your ego wants. The ego is very useful to people operating under capitalism, like the people who take commission from selling you ugly luxury goods, and their bosses, and their bosses. Self esteem isnt real. If your interpretation of yourself is flawed or unrealistic, then your surroundings are the issue. You are a mirror that has been held up to the world, and if you and so many people dont like what they see when they look, then this is beyond a personal issue.
Much of what she described is what people, who don’t realize they’re resisting being indoctrinated into a cult, experience. I will guess that one of the reasons why she was unconsciously resisting DEI indoctrination is because she never experienced racism growing up, and so the DEI bait wasn’t anything she recognized as being dear to her heart. Just this second she said DEI is a cult. What pro Palestine movements are mainly about is creating chaos, breaking down the bonds of civil society, and allowing disruptive evil minded forces on the left, or terrorist groups on the right, to swoop in to fill the void, and impose their will on you. Totalitarianism and communism are not the answers to a system that never pretended to be perfect.

People needed to hear this. Slave era still exists somewhere
Rumor has it this man is still on stage, not saying anything, and yet has stopped talking since the convention started.
😆
Fuck he's making a good point, I gotta stop swearing like an idiot.
Lots of stock audience footage. But her message is solid, regardless.
islam is Cancer!
Repent Jesus Christ is coming soon to judge the world Christ is God
Yeonmi, you should have come to Australia, there are many South Korean immigrants here who have built a wonderful life here. We are a multicultural country. Please visit us one day when you can. Keep up the great work and have a happy life.
i’m smelling radio free asia
From which talk is this?
Freedom is hard to gain but easy to lose. It only takes one election. Need proof? Look no further than Venezuela.
Move to POLAND ,the last stronghold of values, christendom , people are normal there :) or to LITHUANIA
I hate the arrogance of the "pro choice" side to make a decision from when life is "life" and "valuable". I rather have a conservative definition of life (being ULTRA careful and in doubt rather not kill a baby), than risking murder of a person which is 100% innocent, has done nothing wrong and is killed. This is ending up in eugenic thoughts pretty quickly. I am also tired of hearing this rape argument. Check the statistics 99% of abortions in the US are not done because of rape. This is mass murder and the fact that some people feel ok about it, speaks volumes about our modern ethics. Especially, when you learn that planned parenthood is selling baby parts for profits. This is so sick, one could think we are living in a satanic cult.
6:01 "Now, it is not always moral for a woman to have an abortion." This is where this video parts ways with Ayn Rand. Ayn Rand believed it is ALWAYS moral to act on an individual's rational self interest. Listing contrivances is unecessary. There is no requirement for special pleading for any exception to a principle. Abortion is always moral regardless of circumstance. It does not depend on receiving permission from a doctor who is personally concerned about risk factors.
Why would any thinking person care what some BITCHY dead Russian woman say about any important topic? Incidentally, OSI, you may now block this account of mine, as you have already done to another UA-cam account of mine. We all know that you cannot bear to hear the truth about your esteemed goddess, Mrs. O'Connor.
Did you ever consider that the baby has rights, too? You people are killing innocent humans, by labelling them as "non-humans". On which basis? Because the body is not fully developed? This is not any better than eugenics. Murdering unborn babies while boldly thinking you are in the right. SICK. SICK. SICK.
Rand believed it should always be *legal,* not that it's always *moral.* As you correctly point out, Rand believed it's always moral to act on your rational self-interest. We don't need contrivances to think of cases where it wouldn't be in one's self-interest; a woman waiting longer than needed leaps to mind

@Fictionosophy_Angel According to Rand, politics is just an extension of ethics into a social context. If it is sometimes immoral then it is also sometimes illegal.
You are correct to begin with defining the terms. "Liberties" are required actions for a self-directed means of survival. "Rights" are permissions of action given by an authority. In secular political societies, Rights are established when legitimate governments promise to use force to protect an individual's liberties. Having Rights begs the question, "by whose authority?" If government protects liberty, then Rights begin at personhood (political acknologment usually through birth certificate). If God protects liberty, then Rights begin at conception. If in a state of anarchy, then Rights do not exist whatsoever. Since there is no evidence that a God will intervene to protect individual liberties, it is correct to say that only governments grant Rights; protections of individual liberty.
It is the anarchist position to argue that Rights pre-exist governments. Governments are established for the purpose of instituting Rights. Ayn Rand failed to make the distinction between liberties and rights, which is why Libertarians today see government as superfluous and unnecessary. Libertarians believe Rights are intrinsic to each individual by their own authority to weild force in the protection of their own liberty. This is Rand's definition of anarchy. Intrinsic Rights are the philosophical antecedent of "Might Makes Right." Protection of Individual liberties through the monopolization of force is the antecedent to Capitalism.
Your username says it all, SILLIEST of my Silly Sinful Slaves. 🙄
@@justifiably_stupid4998 Your username says it all, Silly Sinner. 🙄
You should probably work on understanding right better than you have explained here
@@justifiably_stupid4998Rand didn't fail that at all. It is you who failed to comprehend it from her writings
Dependent people have no rights, ok. There is no logic here that will stand up to a stiff breeze. Yes, your opinion here is very close to the view of advocates of slavery. Pathetic.
No, because slavery has no biological facts. Fetal growth requires food literally taken from the stomach of another person. Big difference. Your false equivalence is just an emotional argument with no grounds in reality.
This lecture was absolutely splendid! Fuel for the soul indeed.
i'm a grown ass man, but i hope i can grow up to be as strong as this woman
she sucks
