3 Reasons for Hope | Lew Rockwell

[@wilhelmstudensteckjr]

Reasons for Hoppe (so to speak)

[@RealJustLaw]

Ha, good one!

[@DanVsWild5]

"So whenever you are tempted and become discouraged, remember that the state's monopoly on the opinion-molding function is weaker and more vulnerable than it has ever been. This is a development few could have predicted." Very well-said Lew! Libertarians have a lot to be optimistic about. It's tough to remain positive when you hear so much of the same political rhetoric during election season, so thanks for the reminder!

This is incredible! Lew, your words are more moving than the Gettysburg Address. More profound than Federalist 10. I LOVE MISES INSTITUTE, Tom and Bob, and Lew and Jeff and Yuri and Judge Napolitano and... ALL OF YOU TOTALLY GROOVY PEACENIKS! :)

I demand complete freedom now.

[@ahmedbob423]

Why accept the premise that your freedom belongs to someone else to give to you to begin with?

[@kschami]

that is what magna carta did but when the founding fathers of U.S.A. wrote "We the people..." we got away from that premise but the collectivists have again hijacked "We" to imply that individual rights are secondary to what is good for "We"

Great speech, Lew.

lew rockwell is a superhero !

[@RealJustLaw]

Love this guys!

humanity stands at a great crossroads. if enough of us walk the path less traveled, the harder path, the more challenging climb, more will follow. be the peace in your own life. stop the cycle of violence and aggression in your own home and watch it spread out. if we are to live free, we must free ourselves not only from the slave masters, but also the other slaves.

what was the name of the online school he mentioned for programmers? I heard "Hackway actor".

Like I always say: Education, education, education (knocking on timber and spitting behind left shoulder) ;-)

[@ChrisHarperKC]

Where was this when I was in college? I missed so much.

[@jamesholland4329]

So, the two rays of hope are education and media decentralization? OK. How do we attack these two weaknesses in the governments defense further? Reason magazine and TV? Push Ron Paul curriculum or Education Savings Accounts or school choice vouchers, etc.? The Sun Tzu says, don't attack where the enemy is strong, attack them where they are weak. If this is where they are weakest, then we know where to attack.

[@Sociotarian]

So, as a young adjunct professor on the job market, what are your suggestions, Lew? I'd love to come work for Mises or a similar institute.

[@AndersHass]

Wasn't there a Q/A from this event? Where is that video?

Theres a difference between tech advancement and standard of living. If you cant afford this new tech, then your SOL is SOL. Purchasing power has diminished ever since the Fed was created and SOL has diminished ever since.
