- In this video I discuss the chapter ''The End of Truth'' from the book ''The Road to Serfdom'' by Friedrich Hayek. Why should there be an end to truth? And how does that work? Watch the video to find out.

There are humble people who simply want control over their own lives in contrast to arrogant people who want control over the lives of others. The battle is control vs power.
Kinda like when landlords get together to raise rent prices and then u r basically broke?
Probably the most important book to read in our present reality!...
I bought 7 copies of 'Road to Serfdom' in 2007, and gave it out to friends as an X-mas gift. Because at that time in the USA, it was the book that everybody needed to read.
'Road to Serfdom' is NOT my favourite book by Hayek. It's probably №5 if I had to rank them. But I still love it. Because I have no hatred or prejudice for anybody who thinks Socialism is a good idea. Many of them have the best intentions. Many of them are honest, intelligent people who simply don't realize what they are agitating for.
I am glad I discovered this book but disturbed within the first chapter about it's relevance in our time.
Correct, Socialism is dying in Europe. NATO protected these Socialists. Their Pensions and negative interest rates are bringing their end. The USA is $33 trillion in debt and taxpayers are paying $1 trillion in interest. Medicare and Medicaid are $1.5 trillion in 2023. Add another $1 trillion a year for Obamacare and the Feds are SPENDING $2.5 trillion a year on healthcare with just these 3 programs and not 1 of the Presidential candidates will mention Obamacare! American Socialism is dying too! Brave NEW Word of FREEDOM!
It's one of my favorite books. If you liked it. "Man's search for meaning" and "ordinary men" will change your life 😅
i have no idea how this ended up on my feed, but it was very nice. I understand something a little bit better today than i did yesterday, cheers
You are inteligent, and well educated .bravo.
Love it!!!!!
Great mind and perfect English. Thank you.
She is smart and so right ! Nice girl 🙂
I also recommend reading “The Constitution of Liberty” by Hayek.
Just started reading this book last night. It was written in 1944 which is very interesting given he writes about national socialism in it
A very fine synthesis to comprehend the insidiousness around us at the moment.
Hayek was concerned about war-time (planned) economies continuing post-war. And about the English leaning toward the belief that planning works in war time, and so, why not employ planning all the time? And he saw collectivizing in Germany (full-time planning) as a bad end that people couldn’t see because they missed Germany was Socialist, and had been pretty much for decades; and England was in the beginning stages without knowing it.
Wonderful, concise discussion on FAHayek's book 'Road to Serfdom', w/focus on chapter: End of Truth! My son, Max accepted full Scholarship to NYU in [2020] study Computer Engineering. In my mind/ mecca-of-current Socialist, Communist & blatant Marxist ideology nUSA!! I was 'horrified'; yet, didn't dissuade Max from attending, in-fact paid his entrance fees, helped coordinate his move from home to NYC. My only demand; he carry & read Hayek's book! We don't discuss our varied politics; yet, I'm extremely pleased to see Hayek's book above his desk, on small-shelf in apartment! He just might find his Truth!
This book is deep.
Nicely done.
Thank you, you have a wonderful clarity of thought and the ability to speak about complex matters in an intelligent and yet understandable way
It was 40 years ago when i read this book and would also recommend you read “Economics In one Lesson” by Henry Hazlitt published in 1946 or any thing Ludwig Von Mises
Good show!
Thanks for sharing this information. I learn a lot of new things 🙏🌺
The world needs more thinkers like you
I love that you can always recognize a Dutch person speaking English. 😂
Great video 👍
How about what they did to words like man and woman....
I think when people think they are free but they are slaves is more like "The new brave world" of Huxley rather than 1984. I don't know. Lets get the red pill and get the helll out of blue pill matrix in 2023. Let's move the mountains!
Yes! I always thought that Huxley got it better
You describe the failure of communism well, the Soviet Union's internal contradictions brought it down, so after the Cold War some thought Marxism had disappeared yet a new tyranny has emerged under the guise of postmodernism. So thinkers like Jacques Derrida and the new left promote the concept of deconstruction which is a deeply illberal linguistic philosophy which posits that reality is formed through language so in Western culture the way we construct words historically reveals an inherent hierarchy, racism and patriarchy. This opposes the Enlightenment project to advance liberty describing it as oppression. In many countries the counterculture is now the establishment and they do not like wrongthink. We need Hayek to return to individual rights against those who use identity politics to manipulate others.
I tried to listen to the book while on a long drive. It was so boring I almost fell asleep at the wheel. I love audio books and listen to them all the time but just couldn’t get into this
Maybe it was the narrator? Or maybe it's just the style of writing. Some works really can't translate to audio...
@@AlexandreSchwarz no just think the author can’t get to any noticeable point
Pretty good take on Hayek, his message gets ignored intensely in present day western institutions, Wouldnt be surprised if they set up universities on mountain tops lest they be triggerd by something like a word or an idea. Great big walls is needed to, understandably, its well known that words ca be violence you see
That book is perfect, and you're doing a great job.
You mentioned The control part very good. Adam Smith talked about invisible hands of free market? So that hand is power, powerful people controles the market: AKA. Neo-liberalism
Free markets drastically limit the power of powerful people.
The best description of religion I've ever heard.
The Climate is a complex system. thats why we don't have a concrete model for it. we cannot even predict the weather for next week. But it is not pseudoscience. it is simply lack of information. in complex systems there are so many variables. let say even when I type I change the climate! 1.000.000 variables, not easy to model it. Therefore there are disagreement on the issue. But our activities has changed the climate, this is a fact, 1% or 10%? here we can discuss. And more co2 more greenhouse effect is scientific. How big the effect is? again not easy to model it.
Yes, but it plays out like a religion, particularly among atheists.
World is round... Hum pseudoscience!
I suggest if you like talk about more controversial everyday topics, you will get more view. F.Ex. talk about Trump or War in Ukraine in terms of this very the end of truth topic.
Wow u guys are laughable
@kjwilliam
What the Hell do you mean by that?
