Great to see you uploading again Professor Barth, thank you for the effort.
Thanks, and it's great to be back. The first three months of the school semester were especially busy, but things have stabilized enough now to free up some time for the lecture prep and recording. Thanks for watching!
You are a national treasure.... never forget!!!
Would have been very happy if you did this series a few months before you did lol. I read the second treatise for a class I was in, this would have been (and still is) extraordinarily helpful. I haven’t read a lot of older English but Locke’s writing style with his run on sentences was something I was not prepared for. Had to re read each sentence at least twice 😂 thanks for the upload, we all appreciate it
Nice to see you back at it! These videos are great, and your Federal Reserve update videos are well worth watching. You should do one this weekend based on what we saw this week, which will be an FOMC that will live in infamy. Beware the ides of March!
Yes I need to make an update video! Thanks for the encouragement.
@@ProfessorBarth Also, I don't like Bitcoin or crypto in general, but if you were to do a video on that your channel would gain visibility, if that's something you were thinking of boosting without too much effort. Something like, Gold vs Bitcoin would be a trending topic at the moment.
The moment a single thing/person have individual thought, we become a cycle of denial, our existence is only relevant when we become Ants/bees, is when our value is successful.
Waiting on your take for next inflation report, been half year! Hoping another posting once current Winter semester subdues.
Will do! Thanks
natural rights/government = oxymoron.
The contract specifically states the government MUST respect Natural Rights. So it is not oxymoronic. Nobody has a ntural right to murder an innocent perso . So the government can make a law that outlaws the murder of another human. This is basic stuff here, buddy.
I've been getting a lot of anarcho-capitalists visiting my page recently, here and on X -- it's strange, I thought that movement pretty much petered out after 2015, but there's still a very passionate contingent of ancaps out there. I once found it appealing, but that was many years ago. It's an interesting intellectual exercise, but that's the extent of it.
