• 3:20
  For my body type for the things that were going wrong with me that were where I was low
• 3:24
  So that's really what you want you want somebody to take a look and personalize it for you

• 4:00
  Because I've got such a hack for this man
• 4:04
  I just can't even believe it took me 30 years to find it out
• 4:07
  But the guys over at replace your mortgage can shave about
• 4:11
  25 years off your
• 4:13
  Off the duration of what you're paying for your house. It's not magic or anything like that. It's just math
• 4:20
  They get you out of a mortgage. It's not a refinance. It's not a recast
• 4:24
  It's not all the tricks that you've heard which is like
• 4:27
  making double payments or paying I
• 4:31
  Don't know whatever it is. It's it's not that and because it's not a mortgage, right?
• 4:35
  It's something entirely different and when you do this when you
• 4:39
  Flip the time value of money into your side and and and basically recast this every single day
• 4:46
  Well, then it shaves quite a few years off
• 4:49
  You know the people that are in this program pay their house off in between five and seven years
• 4:54
  Without increasing their payment. Like I said, you're not making double payments. It's nothing like that
• 4:58
  There's there's plenty to explain more than I can go into here
• 5:02
  Of course, I've had Michael lush the founder of the company on before if you want to go watch the
• 5:06
  Interview I did with him. We really take an hour to fully unpack it
• 5:09
  But if you're if you want the short version, there's a 20-minute video
• 5:13
  Just go to wipe out your mortgage now calm watch the video. It'll answer your questions for you
• 5:19
  It's it's unique. It's a bank killer, you know, I love that and and listen
• 5:23
  Who doesn't want to pay off their house a whole lot faster? So take a look wipe out your mortgage now calm is the place
• 5:29
  You'll go to watch the video and if you like what you see, I don't know fill out their little form and and talk to them
• 5:36
  well, it's a
• 5:38
  You know, it's always great to have James Corbett on and James in this episode references his 9-11 in five minutes
• 5:46
  I don't know if you haven't seen that video
• 5:49
  You should see it. Everybody should see it. It's really it's one of those
• 5:56
  You know one of the videos where you you you realize the the value of humor when done correctly
• 6:05
  and pulling facts in to paint a much different
• 6:10
  Version of the 9-11 story James did that better than anybody with with that video and beyond of course so
• 6:18
  Buckling for this one. It's a good one. Please
• 6:20
  Enjoy my conversation with the great James Corbett. Oh, it's good to have James Corbett back. How are you James? Good to see you
• 6:26
  I'm I'm doing all right. Charlie. Thanks for having me back
• 6:29
  you hot
• 6:31
  Yeah, it's that time of year, but I won't complain
• 6:35
  I'm not I vowed I wouldn't complain this year because actually we had a relatively mild June
• 6:41
  Which is a lot better than the last year when it was absolutely
• 6:45
  Swelteringly hot here by by June. So I'm not gonna complain this year. It's just a regular Japanese summer. It's ungodly
• 6:52
  It's not fit for humans, but I'll get through it, right? Well, you could be back in your
• 6:59
  home country of Canada where everything is on fire and you could have an added benefit of toxic smoke
• 7:06
  Yeah
• 7:07
  trade-offs here
• 7:09
  It's just you got a direct dodge of a the typhoons and the earthquakes
• 7:12
  But but I'm okay and thank you to everyone who has emailed me recently to ask if I died in that tragic earthquake recently
• 7:19
  No, no, I did not die. So
• 7:23
  So we'll see
• 7:25
  I was speaking with Ernie for a couple hours as you do with Ernie and and he and I were he was
• 7:33
  we got into a little bit about the project you guys had been working on Libertas earth and
• 7:39
  You know
• 7:41
  It's a good reminder that sometimes
• 7:45
  we over complicate things and
• 7:47
  This really took it down to some real base level a sort of video a seven and a half minute
• 7:54
  video that
• 7:56
  Anybody could watch and quite literally anybody could watch it. I think you guys have it in in a couple
• 8:02
  50 different languages couple languages. I'm pretty sure aren't real maybe Ernie
• 8:08
  But whatever but you can if you choose to watch this
• 8:16
  Video in Swahili, I suppose if if that's what you're into but but what what is the genesis of this?
• 8:22
  How'd you guys start? I mean was this born out of
• 8:27
  Frustration trying to reach people and you took it back down to basics or how did this all come about?
• 8:33
  Good question and before we even get into this
• 8:36
  I will just stress to people out there that if you're going to listen to this
• 8:39
  Conversation about this video and you haven't watched the video. What are you doing? Watch the video?
• 8:45
  It is eight minutes of your time absolute worst-case scenario. You think you think I don't care
• 8:51
  Or that was boring or I didn't I didn't get it whatever you wasted eight minutes of your time
• 8:55
  But best-case scenario you have a life-changing moment
• 9:00
  Which is what happened to me when I watched this video for the first time. I'm gonna say 20 years ago
• 9:05
  I don't know exactly the date on which I first watched this video
• 9:08
  But it was some time presumably in late 2006
• 9:11
  When I was going down the rabbit hole that started me along this path towards creating the corporate report
• 9:17
  Which of course as people know I did in June of 2007
• 9:21
  so I was in late 2006 that I started encountering all this crazy information on the internet that I'd never seen before hey
• 9:28
  I never learned that in school and
• 9:31
  Part of that some part of that was viewing this video
• 9:36
  Which was a very much a penny drop moment for me at that time and I've explained this before I'll explain it again
• 9:43
  I think one of the first things that hooked me in was that I was I was a philosophy minor back in
• 9:49
  University so I I like philosophy
• 9:51
  I read it I dabble in it and the thing that hooked me about this video was that right away
• 9:55
  I was like oh, there's there's some actual thought that's gone into this and the thing that I thought that kind of tickled my
• 10:01
  My fancy was the idea that is presented very early on in this video again
• 10:07
  It's just text and music no narration or anything so it's it's very simple very like stick figure kind of animation
• 10:15
  It's very very simple but very effective one of the points that it makes right up at the front is to connect
• 10:21
  John Locke's famous proposition about life liberty and property which as we know got transmuted into life liberty and the pursuit of happiness
• 10:28
  In the Declaration of Independence, but originally in Locke's formation
• 10:31
  it was life liberty and property these are the inviolable things that you own right and
• 10:36
  And this video converts that into a concept about your future your present and your past if someone takes your future
• 10:43
  They are taking your life because of course you can't do anything in the future if you're if they take your life if they take
• 10:49
  Your present they are taking your liberty
• 10:51
  So if they are putting you in a cage and combining you there so you can't do anything in the present
• 10:55
  That's taking your liberty if they are taking the things that you have done with your life and your liberty
• 11:00
  That is the property which you have justly acquired or created in your past
• 11:04
  They're taking your past right and just that that simple concept. Oh, yeah future present past life liberty property
• 11:10
  I get interesting and that immediately hooked me in and I was along for the ride and as people who go through this video
• 11:17
  We'll see it leads very
• 11:20
  inexorably from one very simple logical
• 11:22
  Conclusion to the next to the next to the next to the next until you start building up into something that
• 11:27
  Starts to starts to really amount to something politically revolutionary and substantial
• 11:32
  Which we can get into more later
• 11:34
  But the point is if you're asking about the genesis of this project in particular
• 11:39
  First of all, I will stress to people
• 11:40
  Libertas dot Earth is actually a URL. I know we're used to comms
• 11:45
  But dot Earth is an actual top-level domain as well
• 11:48
  So just type that into your browser Libertas dot Earth and you'll see this video front and center first thing you'll see and you'll be able
• 11:54
  To watch it you'll be able to watch the about this project if you click on that underneath the main video
• 11:59
  You'll get taken to another video, which is me and Ernest Hancock talking to the originator of this video Ken
• 12:07
  School and about the the video where it came from etc
• 12:10
  But as for me and Ernie and how this Libertas dot Earth project got together
• 12:15
  It's because I have I've referenced this video a several times in over the years in my conversations for people
• 12:22
  Who don't know I talked to Ernie on his Declare your independence radio show every other week
• 12:26
  So we've been talking for I don't know five six seven years now at this rate
• 12:29
  I don't know maybe more than that and
• 12:31
  From time to time I will reference this video and say yeah, that was such a formative video for me
• 12:36
  It was one of the first penny drop moments that set me on the path toward becoming an anarchist
• 12:41
  It took me a few years of
• 12:43
  Deprogramming to get me to all the way there
• 12:45
  But at any rate it started me thinking along the lines of liberty and what that means and why it's important etc
• 12:50
  And so we and he knew this video of course because he'd been active in spreading this video as part of his activism decades ago
• 12:58
  So so we were we bandied this about back and forth a little bit and then one day
• 13:03
  He sort of said well, you know if this is a video that was part of the you know the penny drop moment for James Corbett
• 13:09
  Why don't we spread this? Why don't we make something about this? This is obviously a powerful video
• 13:14
  It's obviously simple and effective and it makes its point
• 13:17
  Well, why don't we spread it is already at that time it was available in dozens of languages
• 13:21
  Why don't we just flesh out a website put it all in one place and get people's momentum and energy behind
• 13:27
  Promoting this this is something people can do about the the collapse of you know
• 13:33
  Civilization that we see going on around us and I said, you know good idea you make it happen and I will promote the hell out of it
• 13:39
  So here we are talking about it. Libertas. earth
• 13:42
  It's the simplest way that I can think of to put this idea in front of people again
• 13:48
  It's eight minutes of your time and so worst-case scenario
• 13:52
  You spend eight minutes and you don't you're not convinced but best-case scenario as I say it could change your life
• 13:57
  Yeah, it's a
• 14:00
  you know
• 14:02
  It's it's the sort of video you can show to people at every
• 14:07
  age level every
• 14:10
  Knowledge level, you know people who are just starting off people who've who are you know your normie friends who are a little bit
• 14:18
  hesitant
• 14:19
  to get into this this conspiracy theory of yours, but and it reminds me of
• 14:26
  What the
• 14:28
  The Bolsheviks did you know they keep the messaging simple right stand or you know the fist with like a very short slogan, right?
• 14:35
  So the messaging for this was extremely simple as you mentioned sort of stick figure almost
• 14:42
  animation and it it's a good reminder that you don't need all of the flashing
• 14:48
  animation and you don't need the
• 14:51
  The AI enhancements or anything if you've got the right message and it's simple it can connect with anybody was that sort of the
• 14:58
  The thought process behind this I keep it simple stupid and reach as many people as possible
• 15:03
  It certainly well it worked on me
• 15:06
  So I can only speak directly to that but I have the feeling that yes
• 15:10
  this is simple enough and as you say reaches pretty much every age level every knowledge every background and
• 15:15
  Specifically it was targeted at that idea because again
• 15:19
  So for people who don't know the background of this again
• 15:21
  You can click on about this project underneath the main video on
• 15:25
  Libertas. earth to get the the video where me and Ernie talked to Kent school and about this
• 15:30
  So Kent school and is now I believe a retired professor of economics at Hawaii Pacific University and back in the day
• 15:37
  I believe in the 1980s he was
• 15:39
  He contracted with the Libertarian Party of Hawaii to to produce a series of 90 second radio spots
• 15:47
  Just sort of explaining basic principles of liberty and to two people and this was obviously run on local radio
• 15:54
  They're in Hawaii and so he was kind of distilling some of these big concepts about liberty and why it's important
• 16:00
  Etc into short 90 seconds sort of sound bites and this became the basis for a book that he put together called
• 16:07
  Jonathan the Adventures of Jonathan gullible
• 16:10
  I can't remember the exact title but it was Jonathan gullible obviously playing on gulliver's travels and that sort of concept
• 16:16
  And it's about this person wandering around and and it's a series of short stories based on these 90 second radio spots of
• 16:23
  this person going around and discovering just basic principles about
• 16:27
  Liberty from Bastiat and and Rothbard and people like this and sort of condensed down into little
• 16:33
  set sound bite stories and so this
• 16:36
  This book was published in a number of places in a number of different languages and it was when Ken school and was
• 16:45
  Visiting Russia shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union. So shortly after the Cold War it ended and
• 16:53
  Westerners were visiting Russia etc. and he had a tour guide when he was there in I believe in Moscow and
• 17:00
  This tour guide ultimately ended up becoming some sort of like
• 17:04
  supermarket
• 17:05
  Entrepreneur Baron who's now a billionaire or something but at the time was literally just a tour guide showing tour of Western tourists around Moscow
• 17:12
  And he was really interested in what school and was doing in this book and what he was and it's like well
• 17:18
  Let's get this published in Russian. Come on. We can we can do this
• 17:21
  I think a Russian people need to hear this especially right now
• 17:25
  Having lived so long under the yoke of communist tyranny like let's introduce people to Liberty
• 17:30
  And so he's very excited about that
• 17:32
  But because these concepts were so foreign to people who had literally lived their entire lives under this communist regime and you know
• 17:40
  What's what is this Liberty thing that you're talking about?
• 17:43
  No, the government sorts everything out and tells us what to do and how to do it, right?
• 17:47
  And so he felt it needed some sort of preface some some sort of beginning
• 17:51
  That would just be the groundwork so that people could understand this book and so he tasked
• 17:56
  Ken school and with coming up with that and he came up with this which
• 18:00
  Essentially is the script that became this video and I don't remember the exact details of how this ultimately became a video
• 18:07
  It was originally this is the preface to the Russian edition of that go Jonathan gullible book
• 18:13
  and some at some point some activists who made these kind of flash animations back
• 18:18
  late 90s early 2000s put this together and
• 18:23
  From there it just sort of took off and I you know who knows in what way or in how exactly I ended up seeing it there in
• 18:32
  2006 it had obviously whatever been posted around and and a number of different people had reposted it and it had already been
• 18:40
  Translated into a bunch of different languages and stuff
• 18:42
  But eventually it sort of just propagated it out into the into the internet sphere and here we are
• 18:48
  So again is an interesting origin and specifically it was
• 18:53
  Specifically designed to reach people who had never thought about these concepts before and I think that's why it was so short
• 19:00
  So simple so to the point
• 19:02
  Do you imagine being a Russian in the fall of the Soviet Union and having somebody try to explain to you
• 19:11
  The concept that you don't rent your life from the authorities
• 19:15
  Then that being a light bulb moment to somebody to say that you have that you know stop
• 19:23
  asking government officials to initiate
• 19:27
  Force on their behalf against people these these concepts that they if you stop and think about it you go
• 19:34
  Well, yeah, that's this is right
• 19:35
  I don't rent my lives from the authorities they'd like to they'd like me to feel as if as if I do and
• 19:42
  So part of this is getting people into the right mindset right that this freedom
• 19:48
  Well get him out of the slavery mindset for one is just a step in the right direction
• 19:53
  I don't know how quickly you get him into a freedom mindset, but at least the concept here is so appealing to everybody that
• 20:02
  Feels like you you could reach
• 20:06
  Well, I don't know um
• 20:08
  You're you're simply not limited by language, I suppose these these feel like concepts that that that apply
• 20:15
  Universally it's such an important point because yeah, if you call this like the the truth about
• 20:21
  Anarchy or something obviously that would put up put off a lot of people even the philosophy of liberty or edging into that
• 20:27
  Territory linguistic territory where people's defenses might start coming up
• 20:31
  But hopefully they will be disarmed by the stick figure flash animation
• 20:36
  Which is just pretty disarming overall, but you're right. This is the type of thing it should be I struggle
• 20:43
  Obviously I'm coming at it from my perspective
• 20:45
  But I struggle to think at what point in this video are people going to start saying no
• 20:49
  I don't agree with that because as I say it's all very simple propositions that lead from one to the next and it starts
• 20:56
  With the simplest proposition of all the philosophy of liberty is based on the principle of self ownership now
• 21:02
  I know some lefties do get their hackles up about that concept of self ownership own
• 21:08
  You can't own a human being can't own yourself does that mean you could sell yourself do you believe in slavery?
• 21:14
  Okay, well if we can get over that particular linguistic hurdle the concept is not difficult if you and if we were in the same room
• 21:22
  Charlie, I would just put my hand on your shoulder and I'd say who is in charge of this life
• 21:26
  Who gets to decide what happens to this person and you will say well I do it's my life
• 21:32
  Yes, there you go. The philosophy of liberty is based on the principle of self ownership and if we if we can understand that much
• 21:39
  Everything else starts to flow from there
• 21:42
  Everything that we do must be based on the principle of voluntary consent
• 21:45
  There is no magical authority that can be granted to any figure to do things that we cannot do and what can we do?
• 21:53
  Of course, we can defend ourselves and our lives and our liberty and our property from aggression by others
• 21:59
  Of course, we are allowed to do that and since we are allowed to do it
• 22:02
  We're allowed to delegate that to others
• 22:04
  So if I can't personally protect myself and my property I can of course delegate that out to other people and ask and and
• 22:11
  voluntarily
• 22:12
  Consentually contract with them to do that of course and if I wanted to even if I wanted to choose a leader
• 22:18
  Someone that I will you know I will bow to your authority if I wanted to choose to do that
• 22:23
  I could do that, but I can't impose that on anyone else
• 22:26
  I can't impose anything on anyone else and neither can any of my delegates make
• 22:31
  Anyone else do something against their will again very simple and very basic concepts
• 22:37
  But once you start to really think of where this ultimately leads. Oh, so taxation is theft and
• 22:44
  Conscription is kidnapping and potential murder
• 22:47
  You know if I if I end up dying in the army et cetera et cetera and you start to think about this
• 22:51
  And then you start to think well, what really is the place of government?
• 22:54
  How does it come into existence? Why does it have authority over me if I don't give my voluntary consent to it?
• 23:01
  Hmm, and once you start thinking along those lines again, but the best part about this video is it doesn't really
• 23:07
  Tell you you know the ultimate end part of all of this
• 23:10
  It just puts all of these propositions in place and then invites you to sort of think this through to the the logical conclusion
• 23:20
  Nobody has a greater right to your body than yourself and
• 23:25
  That that is something that sounds so
• 23:32
  Foundational and obvious, but yet there are people out there
• 23:38
  Who
• 23:40
  Willingly and gladly outsource this they they want somebody else to be in charge of them
• 23:46
  They they they don't either for a variety of reasons
• 23:49
  Maybe they don't feel confident in their ability to control themselves
• 23:52
  Maybe they they just assume other people are smarter or the government knows how to do it but this idea of
• 23:59
  Giving away your self ownership
• 24:02
  The ownership of yourself that had to have been programmed into us by the state that had to have been that that
• 24:09
  This seems so on such an unnatural concept to us that we why would we?
• 24:15
  Feel that we were born into slavery the idea that
• 24:19
  That that the government that somebody else has a greater right to our body than us
• 24:24
  The doctors Anthony Fauci the CDC whoever an insert whatever there
• 24:32
  This feels like it has been
• 24:34
  Put into our brains by the state
• 24:37
  Over the years and that we need to extract the first step to remove this
• 24:43
  From our this thinking from our brains first before we even enact any of these
• 24:49
  Improvements yeah, yeah, in fact, I would say there's been millennia of conditioning
• 24:54
  In in this vein and if you go back to of course the earliest civilizations that we know of and recorded human history at least
• 25:01
  Latest iteration there of we would look at you know ancient Egypt where literally the pharaoh was literally God on earth
• 25:09
  That is why you listen to him and that is why you do what he says
• 25:12
  He's literally God and or the Japanese emperor is literally a God so we descended from the gods
• 25:18
  So you have to do what they say and of course that worked as a method of control
• 25:24
  To get people out of the basic
• 25:27
  Natural concept of hey, I'm of my own person and I own my body in my life
• 25:31
  Into this well, I have to do it because God told me to
• 25:35
  Well that of course morphed and changed as
• 25:40
  civilization developed and by say the Middle Ages we had this concept of the divine right of kings and we had the
• 25:47
  You know the the wheel of fortune and the the class structure of the medieval society
• 25:52
  Etc everyone had their place in the big chain of nature
• 25:56
  Etc and so your your lot was determined by your birth and you are in this class
• 26:02
  and you have to listen to the people who are above you the lords and the kings above them etc and
• 26:07
  that again
• 26:08
  Cohered for hundreds of years until a material change in conditions was brought about by various technologies that enabled
• 26:16
  essentially they were for reformation the Enlightenment and
• 26:20
  Suddenly you have capitalism coming along to change those medieval peasant feudal relations
• 26:27
  And so there needs to be some new justification because the divine right of kings was getting a bit long long in the tooth and
• 26:35
  A lot of kings were losing their heads. So well, what's the basis of society now?
• 26:39
  And so you start finding different ways to justify it suddenly well, okay
• 26:44
  These wonderful republics are coming along and it's the people the people you are the government
• 26:49
  You see you get to elect your leaders and then you know, so in a sense, it's you governing yourself
• 26:56
  By someone else don't think about it too hard
• 26:59
  It's wonderful and it's your God-given right to be able to vote and cast your ballot et cetera et cetera all of the propaganda
• 27:05
  Conditioning that I'm sure Americans and certainly us Canadians got our entire lives and that a lot of people still believe and then on top of that
• 27:12
  You start to get scientific justifications for for leadership and in different classes of people essentially and
• 27:19
  Resudo scientific I should say through eugenics et cetera
• 27:22
  There are certain people with genes that are just naturally better than yours and they deserve the right to determine what happens to you and your kin
• 27:30
  Etc etc. So there there has been these these elaborate justifications for authority over
• 27:36
  thousands of years that have been
• 27:38
  indoctrinated into
• 27:40
  Generation after generation after generation from their birth to their death
• 27:44
  They hear nothing but this type of propaganda and conditioning
• 27:47
  So it's quite understandable why it takes a fair bit of deprogramming to get people to see the rather simple truth that know you own yourself and
• 27:55
  interestingly enough that
• 27:57
  Can be evoked as needed as is convenient for the state and its proxy
• 28:03
  So the the my body my choice argument, of course, we've all heard that right is my body my choice
• 28:09
  Except when it comes to oh, I don't know like vaccines in a pandemic then
• 28:13
  No, my body my choice and no no no no no and you know what? Let's give the devil is do let's let's play devil's advocate here
• 28:21
  okay, so if
• 28:24
  your
• 28:25
  Quam with that idea of my body my choice being instituted in something like forced vaccination is that well
• 28:32
  What you are doing by not getting vaccinated is your the super spreader who's killing people willy-nilly your
• 28:39
  initiating force against other people I
• 28:41
  Disagree with the scientific principles that are being argued there
• 28:44
  But I at least understand that as a moral argument because there is a question of when are you imposing force and imposing your will on other people?
• 28:52
  through your liberty actions because of course we are confined our liberty ends at the point at which we are imposing force against the will of
• 29:00
  Non-consenting people and that is going to be a sticky situation again
• 29:05
  I will argue the scientific validity of oh well. I didn't get vaccinated. So I'm I'm killing people with my actions
• 29:12
  No, I don't believe so but
• 29:14
  But the principle that if you are
• 29:17
  Violating other people's liberty with your actions then yes that that would be
• 29:21
  Defensible against in the philosophy of liberty. So there is going to be adjudication
• 29:26
  I'm not saying no one is saying that this is some sort of nirvana of utopian fantasy land where there will be no disputes
• 29:32
  And everything will be clear-cut. No, there has to be adjudication of various disputes
• 29:38
  But the question again is who is the authority and who gets to decide at the end of the day what ultimately happens?
• 29:44
  And if it can be done without
• 29:47
  Consent then it is not being done morally and I think that's the point
• 29:52
  This is a moral philosophy at the end of the day
• 29:54
  It is not a prescriptive philosophy that's telling you how to live your life quite the opposite
• 29:59
  It's telling you there I'm not gonna give you the plan for how to live your life
• 30:03
  You're going to figure that out yourself and you're gonna make mistakes and do bad things along the way and you will suffer the consequences of those mistakes
• 30:10
  Such as liberty
• 30:13
  It's funny that people put labels on themselves, you know, they're the religious labels or their political labels and things like this
• 30:19
  They never admit or recognize that they're also status
• 30:23
  You know, they never think about that as as an additional label that they've put on themselves this
• 30:31
  In part because it's so normalized
• 30:34
  They don't they probably don't feel as if they've ever had a choice to be anything other than status
• 30:39
  They were born into this system, but boy that to me seems like such a huge hurdle when dealing with new people
• 30:47
  people that just have this
• 30:50
  Invisible barrier, they just they almost can't comprehend a system that they've never
• 30:57
  Lived in right? They I mean I can own sort sort of understand it in some respects that it's hard to envision a system that you've never seen but
• 31:05
  The idea that we don't have to live our lives under the state
• 31:12
  Is that is that where how do you start with people?
• 31:15
  I mean, how do you what's the conversation that you have with people that are status that don't even know it yet?
• 31:21
  And and have to have that you have to have a hand on the shoulder and say hey, you know listen like we have to have a talk
• 31:26
  You you might be suffering from state ism
• 31:29
  Yeah, you're right. That's this treatment is right for you. Yeah, exactly. We need some kind of PSA. Are you suffering from statism?
• 31:37
  Maybe that would be effective on some people but probably not the unconvert not many of the unconverted
• 31:42
  But no, it's a good point because it is the it's the it's the fish in the water. What's water?
• 31:48
  I don't know. What are you talking about? Right? Yeah, it's what state ism. What are you talking about?
• 31:53
  And I guess one of the ways that I've attempted to broach this conversation is in my book reportage
• 31:59
  I have an essay specifically on up-down politics and it starts with the conceit of imagining ants living on a loop of string and
• 32:09
  It's an elaborate and you know an allergy is a fable essentially
• 32:12
  But it's about the the ants deciding to to break apart and some are gonna go to the left and some are gonna go to the right
• 32:18
  Because they they can't live with each other anymore. They disagree to fundamentally so they head off in their separate directions
• 32:23
  But they don't know because they're basically two-dimensional kind of beings. They're basically one-dimensional kind of beings
• 32:28
  They don't know they're living on a loop of string
• 32:30
  So they're heading on the left and the other people are heading on the right and eventually they're gonna meet up
• 32:35
  With each other again. What what is going on? It's because they do not understand. There is that second dimension
• 32:40
  they only see the first the one dimension that they're traveling in and I would say similarly we have been
• 32:47
  Programmed to believe that the politics and the political universe that we find ourselves in is a straight line
• 32:53
  It's called the left-right spectrum and you are on the left or you were on the right or maybe you're somewhere in the
• 32:58
  Middle but that's it and that is the entire political universe and the point of the up-down politics essay is to say
• 33:04
  No, there's another political dimension and you can situate yourself either towards authoritarianism and statism or you can
• 33:12
  Situate yourself more towards libertarianism and freedom and which which of those axes are you on and
• 33:19
  Then it starts to make sense of things that otherwise would be inexplicable
• 33:23
  You vote for the party of the left or the party of the right
• 33:26
  You still continue to get more war more corporate handouts and banker bailouts, etc
• 33:33
  All of these agenda core agenda items continue to be the same no matter which which were the two political parties you vote for
• 33:40
  I mean what is going on here?
• 33:42
  Oh, there's another dimension to politics and all of those people on the status in the status system are in the up-dimension
• 33:49
  They're the authoritarians that want more power and oh, there's another dimension
• 33:53
  And in fact that seems to correspond to what we think we're voting for every time people are voting for less war and less
• 34:00
  You know banker bailouts and less of government intervention in their lives, etc
• 34:05
  But they never get it because they don't realize oh, that's that's a completely different dimension of politics
• 34:10
  So I I've attempted to explain that a few times
• 34:13
  I think I did have some success
• 34:15
  With that essay in particular because I've heard some good feedback about that
• 34:18
  But it is a difficult question to broach and that's why I'm appreciative of the fact that this philosophy of Liberty
• 34:24
  Video does not talk about left or right at all
• 34:26
  I think different people from different political perspectives will bring their own baggage to it and certain words like self-wownership
• 34:33
  Or whatever might have different resonance for different people, etc
• 34:35
  But generally speaking this isn't about left to right. This is about just basic moral philosophy
• 34:41
  What do you genuinely believe at the bottom is morally permissible or impermissible and building from there?
• 34:48
  And it has nothing to do
• 34:49
  Ultimately about left to right as the video says again
• 34:52
  You can you can choose a leader if you want and you can choose to give yourself over to a leader
• 34:57
  So if you you know if you want to vote for this or that party or whatever, that's completely your decision
• 35:02
  but that
• 35:04
  Decision is not is not transient that does not pass on to other people
• 35:09
  You cannot enforce your will or your political party or your political leanings or whatever it is on anyone else against their consent
• 35:16
  And I think again, that's it's a wonderfully subversive idea of undermining this left-right
• 35:23
  Idea that has come to encapsulate people's understanding of the political universe. This has nothing to do with that
• 35:29
  It's about the fundamental moral philosophy, which fundamentally is not left right. It's up down
• 35:35
  Yeah, but what if I'm right and they're wrong? Can I make them do it then?
• 35:39
  Yeah
• 35:41
  That's kind of the the direction everyone goes. Yes. Yes. Yes James. I hear you but
• 35:47
  Sometimes you're just right and sometimes they're just wrong then what do we do right? So this is you know
• 35:53
  This is why the kind of the worst and the worst habit of the worst
• 35:57
  Idea that people have been I think trained into is to see the other side
• 36:02
  Not as wrong but as evil
• 36:05
  That it's not just that you are you're making a mistake or or I don't agree with your decisions or those decisions that you're making wouldn't work for me
• 36:13
  No, it's that you are actively malicious and evil and therefore must be stopped
• 36:18
  And how do we stop you from that horrible liberty that you're using to do things that I don't like?
• 36:23
  Well, there has to be some bigger third-party that'll come along and take care of you
• 36:27
  Oh, how about a state?
• 36:28
  I mean that is sort of the ultimate impetus of trying to inflict your will on other people against their consent
• 36:34
  That's tough though James. That is tough for people inherently to stop doing. There's the Karen meme of the world
• 36:40
  right that person wants to insert themselves into a situation where they don't belong and in in referee and
• 36:47
  and make a decision and they and and to try to explain to them that you actually have to go the opposite direction in fact
• 36:54
  not you do
• 36:58
  Absolutely everything
• 37:00
  Backwards from what your intuition tells you to do Karen you got to do it the opposite you have to take your take a you know
• 37:06
  Settle down and take your hands off the steering wheel here
• 37:10
  That is so difficult for a lot of people
• 37:12
  Especially people who I think maybe even mean well and want to be involved and want to be proactive and not sit back and do
• 37:21
  Something so you know you come into it for the right reasons you want to get involved you want to help
• 37:27
  But
• 37:28
  Help is subjective. Is it not?
• 37:33
  It is and
• 37:34
  Again, I think this is the point that people at the fundamental point that people have to understand is that
• 37:42
  Yes
• 37:43
  You I mean I may look at your life and go oh Charlie
• 37:46
  You're wasting your time and you're you're I don't know you're on you're on drugs all the time
• 37:50
  And I don't like that and I I know what's better for your life, etc. Whatever
• 37:55
  But but
• 37:58
  The point that people have to understand is that what you
• 38:02
  attempt to do to others will be done to you and
• 38:07
  So if you are trying to limit somebody else's freedom
• 38:11
  That is the exact same way that they will try to limit your freedom to do what you want with your life and
• 38:18
  the horrible
• 38:21
  Thing for a control freaks out there to
• 38:23
  Understand is that if you want to be able to pursue your life in the way that you know is best for you because absolutely
• 38:30
  No one on the planet knows you better than you and what is best for you
• 38:34
  if you want the freedom to be able to do that and to you know
• 38:37
  Go the wrong way and make mistakes and correct and all of that and live a human life
• 38:42
  You will have to I'll be able you will have to allow others to do that as well
• 38:47
  Because anything that you attempt to build up to control and constrain others and to violate their freedom is
• 38:54
  Exactly what will be used against you and to me that seems like such an obvious point because I mean
• 38:59
  Having grown up and lived through the whole war of terror nonsense and the police state that has been erected in its wake or in its
• 39:06
  You know as an excuse essentially
• 39:10
  It's just so obvious to me that everything that has happened is because
• 39:15
  People are trying to limit the freedom of others the the bad people that we know you know
• 39:19
  Oh, we got to get those people's rights away from them
• 39:22
  It is exactly that that will be used against you and once I mean maybe this is where I come at it from my
• 39:29
  General broader research into things like 9-11 and other you know conspiracies that have happened and exist is that oh there
• 39:36
  You know there is a malicious
• 39:39
  Force out there in politics that is working against you actively and they want you to support these sort of liberty
• 39:45
  Limiting things so that they can be used against you in the exact same way that all the weapons of warfare that were developed
• 39:52
  You know for you know Iraq and places like that were eventually brought back home to be used against our own citizens and the L
• 40:00
  Rads and all of this you know fancy technology, of course
• 40:02
  It's tested out against the bad people over there just so that it can be used against you
• 40:08
  That's the sort of fundamental layer of this trick that people have to understand anything that you suggest or advocate for
• 40:14
  Against other people will be used against you. So be very very careful what you want to advocate other people
• 40:22
  be subjected to in
• 40:25
  Making people understand over the 20 years in which you've been doing this. What's been the most effective
• 40:31
  Path for you you make full-length
• 40:34
  Documentaries you have an email newsletter you make short clips. You've got a book
• 40:40
  You've done it all you've approached this from every angle. Can you tell is there any sort of any sort of research?
• 40:48
  statistics you've gotten back in terms of
• 40:50
  What is the most effective or are you just kind of putting it out there in a variety of different?
• 40:57
  Methods and manners to to see if everybody can I'm definitely not
• 41:02
  Strategizing what I do at all times because I think once you get into that mindset
• 41:07
  You start looking for metrics, of course
• 41:09
  How do you measure what the effect that you're having and if I went that route? Let me tell you a story
• 41:15
  So back in 2011 on September 11th of 2011 so the 10th anniversary of 9 11
• 41:22
  I spent the day in my pajamas here in Japan in my living room
• 41:28
  concocting this stupid short little
• 41:31
  9-11 video is just a stupid kind of funny video that I intended as an inside joke to the 9-11 truth movement with lots of inside
• 41:38
  References to very specific points about 9-11 truth that the average person would have no like no one would understand this
• 41:44
  I expected a people in the 9-11 truth community would look at it laugh, you know, oh, that's good
• 41:50
  That's funny, but somehow or other that became a viral video and it got millions and millions of views on my YouTube channel
• 41:56
  And it got spread to other channels and Facebook and it's been everywhere
• 42:00
  And to the point where people in my day-to-day life here in Japan who know nothing about me or my work
• 42:05
  They're like I saw this 9-11 video. Was that your voice? Yeah
• 42:09
  Yes, it was that was me. So it went mega viral and whatever has however many millions and millions of views
• 42:16
  So if I was going by that metric at the time when that started going viral like I woke up the next day
• 42:21
  And suddenly it had a couple hundred thousand views and then a couple days later it had like a million views
• 42:25
  I'm like what is going on?
• 42:27
  At that time it the thought occurred to me, you know, okay, this is a thing people like this
• 42:33
  I could easily do this, you know, several several weeks one a week
• 42:38
  I could do one on JFK. I could do one on OKC
• 42:41
  I could do this type of thing over and over and over and make it into a thing
• 42:45
  And I could be like the the conspiracy in five minutes guy right and make a channel out of this and etc
• 42:50
  Because obviously it's working and it's going viral and people want it great
• 42:55
  But I consciously made the decision. No, I'm not gonna do that
• 42:58
  I'm gonna continue doing the work that I do because that is the way that it has always occurred to me to do
• 43:02
  I will you know, of course humor is part of me and part of what I do
• 43:06
  So I'll do the short little humorous videos sometimes but fundamentally I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do and that's long-form content and
• 43:13
  Podcasts about books and things like that's not popular. Who cares about that?
• 43:18
  So if I went chasing the metrics, I think I would have went in a very different direction
• 43:22
  But what I'm doing is putting things out in a way that occurs naturally to me
• 43:26
  And sometimes that is a short funny punchy five-minute humor video and sometimes that's an hour-long deep dive
• 43:32
  Podcast and I realized that that is increasingly difficult for people to get through in this age of ADHD tick-tock scroll
• 43:41
  glass glass-eyed goldfish attention span
• 43:44
  Zombies that we are now steeped in you'll see excuse me for having a bit of disdain for the tick-tock era that we're living in but
• 43:52
  Clearly I'm not gonna bend myself into pretzel knots to try to conform to that to try to reach more people because I think the metric isn't
• 44:00
  Shear is simply the sheer number of viewers. It's not just then you know number of imaginary internet points
• 44:06
  Oh, I got a million views. That's a big deal
• 44:09
  It's about the quality of the the interaction that you have with the people who are watching and yeah
• 44:15
  If I make a big long hour-long deep dive into some you know a book by some
• 44:20
  1980s Italian philosopher, it's probably not gonna get a lot of views
• 44:24
  But the people who get it watch it and get it
• 44:26
  Those are the people I'm trying to reach anyway, right and well, that's your rogue a album after you've done the pop album, you know
• 44:34
  Exactly, I'm gonna I'm gonna do what I want to do and I will connect with maybe fewer people than if I was
• 44:41
  Strategizing and gaming it out
• 44:42
  But I hope that the people that I'm reaching are the people who really need to hear this right and that that to me is
• 44:48
  What why I'm doing what I do in the way that I do it
• 44:52
  Well, we interacted last week went on the IMA panel that you put together of on a books
• 44:59
  What's your favorite book? Well, what's the book that changed your life and
• 45:04
  You know the book I brought to the table was Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins
• 45:08
  And then I had talked to John Perkins yesterday. I interviewed him yesterday
• 45:11
  So in my particular case, I've had the opportunity to have that light bulb moment with a book and then get it
• 45:18
  get to know
• 45:20
  The author who wrote it who was a bad guy turned good guy and but what about you? What was your what's your
• 45:27
  What's your what's the book or what's the?
• 45:30
  Moment was there something that sort of the light bulb moment that that puts you on a different path or woke you up to the
• 45:37
  Possibility that everything, you know might be incorrect or or you know started you down this crazy road
• 45:43
  Yeah, it's a good question because I do go back and think because I might of course my origin story
• 45:48
  Which I've told the number of times on the podcast is that 2006 experience
• 45:52
  I was talking about where I moved into a new apartment in Japan and it came with an internet connection first time
• 45:56
  I'd had an internet connection in my home in yours
• 45:58
  And so I was suddenly connected to all these Google video and YouTube and things and I was started
• 46:04
  I started looking at just political content because I was politically interested and it started leading me
• 46:09
  Algorithmically down the internet rabbit hole into all this 9-11 truth kind of information and all of that
• 46:15
  So that was really sort of the penny drop mirror
• 46:17
  That was the moment that started the process that including the philosophy of liberty that got me towards creating the Corbett report
• 46:23
  But I do go back sometimes and I try to think about well, okay
• 46:26
  But what was it about me that sort of prepared me for that?
• 46:30
  What was it that I could say and I can go back and try to
• 46:33
  Psychologize myself in my early days. I think people assume I was the class pet
• 46:38
  The teachers pet back in school, etc
• 46:42
  No, I was kind of a class clown in some ways and at any rate
• 46:45
  I always did try to challenge the teachers authority and I always I always remember back in grade four
• 46:52
  We were doing some sort of science
• 46:55
  Some sort of science unit or something and the teacher was asking, you know, this
• 47:00
  This object you think it's gonna float or sink or something like that and and he did like a
• 47:06
  Like a class vote and you know, I think it'll float
• 47:09
  I think it'll sink and I don't remember what it was or what the correct answer was but whatever it was
• 47:14
  I remember I got the correct answer and
• 47:17
  I think most people would just be like content with that. Oh, I got the correct answer
• 47:20
  But after I got the correct answer, I started to think about it
• 47:23
  I'm like, but shouldn't wait actually wouldn't it be like why isn't it like this?
• 47:28
  So I actually like started to argue against the correct answer just to see like well
• 47:31
  Why isn't it more like this and I think that's part of who I am
• 47:34
  I'm always kind of trying to question the even the received wisdom even authority
• 47:38
  Even if I think it to be true even sometimes if I know it to be true, I'll still be thinking about well
• 47:42
  Why not this? Why not the other way? So that's part of who I am
• 47:46
  another part of who I am I remember the experience in
• 47:50
  Social studies class in high school
• 47:52
  Reading just some snippet some little passage of John Locke
• 47:58
  Essentially the concept of you know, live and let live, you know
• 48:02
  Live your life, but your liberty is prescribed by your ability to inflict your your liberty on other people essentially
• 48:08
  and and that just immediately resonated with me and I thought yeah, that's about right and I think that sort of stuck in my brain and
• 48:16
  Whatever that was that I saw in philosophy of liberty. I managed to correspond. Oh, yeah, I think that's that's always seemed right to me
• 48:23
  So there are various things I can look back
• 48:25
  But one specific moment that I remember vividly is shortly after moving to Japan
• 48:31
  I was sitting there in my apartment watching the Gandhi
• 48:36
  biopic, you know
• 48:38
  Ben Kingsley playing Gandhi, right and I got to the scene where
• 48:43
  Gandhi's in South Africa leading the Indians against the the papers that they had to carry as you know foreign
• 48:50
  Indians in South Africa under the British authority and you know
• 48:55
  Gandhi's leading this protest where they're literally burning their their registration papers and in front of the British troops who then beat them
• 49:03
  You know and throw them in jail, right and they were willing to men Gandhi was willing to be literally beaten to a pulp
• 49:09
  burning his papers
• 49:11
  Indefiance of the rules right and I was sitting there in Japan
• 49:16
  with an identity card in my pocket that
• 49:21
  Legally I have to carry around with me as a foreign citizen here in Japan
• 49:25
  I have to carry that around with me at all times to be produced to a law enforcement authority at any time
• 49:31
  If I'm like literally if I'm just going out to take my garbage a policeman could stop me here and could ask for my card
• 49:37
  And if I don't have it he can he could take me down to the police station and get this, you know
• 49:42
  I'll sort it out or you know at very best
• 49:45
  Maybe I he'd let me go back home to get my card to show him that no I'm really like and it never
• 49:50
  Occurred to me until that moment watching that scene in that movie where people
• 49:55
  Oh, yeah, people were literally willing to be beaten to a pulp in defiance of this burning their papers
• 50:01
  But I haven't even like it didn't even occur to me
• 50:04
  This is something that I should be and that started me thinking along the lines of well, you know
• 50:08
  What has been sort of drummed out of us?
• 50:10
  What what have we been domesticated or just steeped in for so long that we don't even think about it anymore things that our
• 50:17
  grandparents would have absolutely fought and maybe died for things that we just take totally for granted
• 50:23
  So that really got me sort of thinking along those lines even a couple of years before I started down that Internet rabbit hole and
• 50:30
  Discovering all of this so there are a number of things that I could point to but the thing that I pointed to specifically in that
• 50:35
  Podcast that you're talking about for people who haven't seen it. I did look at George Orwell's animal farm
• 50:40
  Which was clearly something that was deep down in my subconscious
• 50:45
  Because I read it when I was whatever 13 or whatever it was at just that sort of right age
• 50:50
  Where you're starting to think politically about the world and the way it's constructed and what is authority and I think
• 50:56
  Orwell's idea that he implants in that book is I think essentially an anarchist type of idea because I think essentially what he's saying is that the authority is
• 51:05
  All it all becomes the same thing in the end no matter what flowery language and wonderful ideas
• 51:10
  Once you start to subjugate yourself to an authority
• 51:13
  It's gonna become a tyranny and I think that's the point of the ending of the book
• 51:17
  It's they look from the pigs to the men and the pigs to the men and they couldn't tell the difference anymore
• 51:21
  Yep, that's about right no matter what glorious revolution. It's gonna end up in the same thing
• 51:25
  So I think that was a formative part of my my childhood experience of coming into adulthood and understanding politics
• 51:34
  I had a similar experience with a teacher though mine wasn't in in the fourth grade mine was in college
• 51:40
  Actually my last year in college in in an advertising class and I was in a marketing major
• 51:45
  This was a big deal and I took this midterm and I and I remember leaving the test going back to my
• 51:51
  Apartment talking to my roommate. He goes. Hey, how'd you do on that midterm? Yeah? I said man. I honestly think I got a hundred percent
• 51:57
  I knew every answer. I've never said that and like there was that should have been a indicator or something was off
• 52:02
  I go back the following class and he hands back all the tests. I have a 52 percent
• 52:10
  on my test and I'm looking at it and I'm like I'm steaming the entire class
• 52:16
  Ends everybody leaves. I go down to talk to the teacher. I'm holding it up and I go I say to him
• 52:22
  What happened? He goes I was gonna ask you the same thing. What happened? I go
• 52:26
  I I walked out of this test thinking I had a hundred percent. He goes. Well, you didn't I said well
• 52:31
  I bet you had I bet you I'm closer to it than you think
• 52:34
  And he said well, let's go over it
• 52:36
  So we went through the test and every answer that I had wrong to him
• 52:41
  I was able to explain to him why I was right and
• 52:44
  When we got done with it. He said he goes man. I don't know what to do
• 52:48
  He said because I can't give you a 52 percent because you clearly know this
• 52:53
  But I can't give you a hundred percent either. So why don't we just agree that I'll give you a zero out of zero?
• 52:58
  We throw it out. We pretend like it never happened, but I want you to do this in the future. I
• 53:06
  Want you to give me the answer that you think I want and I went
• 53:13
  What?
• 53:15
  What if it's wrong though? What if the answer you want is wrong?
• 53:19
  I just sat here and proved to you how your answers were wrong and and after that I realized
• 53:25
  This isn't about what I thought it was. This is about something else and to me that was a that was another
• 53:33
  Moment where I thought well education college degree. What does this really mean?
• 53:38
  What have I proved by getting this degree and going that I can finish what I started maybe but
• 53:43
  Do did I I mean because halfway through the journey? I didn't really want to finish it
• 53:47
  I kind of felt like I had to and so I don't know that was my
• 53:51
  That was my light bulb moment with academia and also just life, you know, sometimes the answer is
• 53:59
  Sometimes the correct answer for your boss is actually the incorrect answer
• 54:03
  And I resonate with that so deeply because I was blessed through most of my school career
• 54:09
  with teachers that sort of
• 54:12
  Put up with me in a sense
• 54:13
  I mean, I of course I always knew what the correct answer was and what they wanted me to say and I was often trying to write
• 54:20
  Something different sometimes just to be different, but I was always trying to like come at it from a different angle or say
• 54:25
  you know come up with a different answer and
• 54:27
  Most of my teachers most of the time appreciated that and understood what I was doing although I did have one. Yeah, one
• 54:34
  particularly
• 54:36
  egregious teacher once who was
• 54:38
  Not like that shall we say and absolutely wanted you to say what she wanted you to say and anything else was and so I
• 54:45
  fought and I
• 54:47
  disputed her grades and went up to the dean of the faculty etc etc. Yeah, you know it
• 54:54
  again, I
• 54:55
  Deeply resonate with what you're saying there because in that exact moment when the if a teacher or professor was
• 55:01
  Suggesting that I would be like, okay
• 55:03
  This is a game and you want me to play the game by your rules and whatever if I want the piece of paper
• 55:09
  Maybe I'll play the game by your rules, but I now know it means nothing. It is absolutely useless
• 55:15
