3426 Black Wives Matter - Call In Show - September 21st, 2016

Question 1: [1:52] - “The founders of the United States claimed that we have natural rights and that they come from God. Atheists reject this logic because they reject God's existence. As you have stated, most atheists lean towards socialist ideologies and against the ‘noble lie.’ However, perhaps it's not a lie.”“You have stated that Rights do not exist. But, aren't rights just those human properties - derived from biology - in which one person claims and exercises in exclusion of every other individual? These properties include vocal cords, thumbs, and brains. Do we not have a just-claim (a.k.a. natural right) to use our properties to communicate, use tools, Collaborate and think? Are not our natural Rights written in our DNA?”Question 2: [34:57] – "Do you believe socialist policies, if pushed for long enough, will always lead the government towards totalitarianism? If so, what do you think the driving force is behind this move towards tyranny and serfdom?”Question 3: [1:00:46] – "I have seen the NATO-Russia tensions play out from both sides. It seems as if most conflicts are created by deliberate public disinformation. How come, that governments and media take their people for naive enough not to question anything and how did we as a people become naive enough to believe it all?"Question 4: [1:24:30] - “What are the characteristics of human nature? Are those characteristics changeable? If so, how can they be changed? You have spoken on this topic a couple times, and I think I've noticed some inconsistency. Take the video ‘Shocking Misogynist Attacks Feminism, Defends Rape Culture,’ for example. At 15:47, you pose a mental exercise to the audience to explore the roots of human violence. At 16:14 you preface the exercise by saying that you don't "buy the human nature argument," and follow with: ‘saying, 'What is human nature?' is like saying 'what is the shape of water?' Well, it depends what you pour it into.’”“But in a later video, ‘Why The Regressive Left Has Already Lost,’ you suggest an alternative description of human nature: At 8:54, you ridicule leftists for viewing human beings as water and implying that human nature is infinitely malleable (specifically, you were criticizing the idea that immigrants can easily adapt to the culture of their new host country). I have wrestled with this issue myself, and I was wondering if you could clarify your thoughts.”Question 5: [1:41:04] - “If I want to be a hero, and help others, I should have heroic traits. What does it take to be in hero in your sphere of influence and what can history tell us about common heroic traits and how to attain them?”Freedomain Radio is 100% funded by viewers like you.
