Political Psychology Series Episode 3: Sanjeev Sabhlok

Sanjeev Sabhlok resigned in protest from the Victorian Department of Treasury and Finance. He has a long history of campaigning for freedom, the individual, happiness and rational thinking.  To know that such an intellect was working within our public service in Victoria is encouraging but also devastating that they lost that intellect.  In this interview we explore not just his thoughts on the illegality and immorality of the lockdowns around the world, but also how he came to his classically liberal philosophy and how that informs his crusade to maximise the happiness of people all over the world. ---------------------------------- Watch this episode: https://youtu.be/c1Fg0TOSXsM Follow Sanjeev: https://www.facebook.com/sabhlok https://www.sabhlokcity.com/ https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B08L26W2WY/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_CqAHFbXHJDRV1 ---------------------------------- Show notes: 1:25 Why lockdowns are immoral 7:35 The ethical issue of ‘control’ 8:50 Victorian lockdowns are a human experiment 10:00 Crimes against humanity and Godwin’s Law 12:18 Humans as chattel and the return of slavery? 15:30 Dan Andrews doesn’t understand human rights 16:44 How the Public Service works 20:14 The Great Hysteria plaguing the world 25:50 The death of hysteria brings shame 27:30 Government bureaucracy mindsets 30:08 Debates within the public service 32:34 The lethality of COVID-19 37:50 Economists seek human happiness, not money 46:05 Cost Benefit Analyses are not suitable when it comes to crimes against humanity 48:40 Why Sanjeev’s left the most prestigious job in India 56:00 Why are non-Victorians fighting for Victoria? 1:03:05 Will the rise of India challenge China? 1:11:57 Alternatives to ‘Made in China’ 1:14:36 Finding happiness through internal consistency 1:20:28 Classical liberals drawn to the U.S.A. 1:23:40 Victorians must organize politically to prevent this happening again
