WEBVTT 00:00.080 --> 00:07.300 Hey, Larkin-Rosier. What is a word that means somebody who doesn't have any scorpions in their hair? 00:08.280 --> 00:10.680 Surely there's a term for that. 00:11.420 --> 00:16.740 No, surely there isn't. While writing the book, Approaching Humanity, 00:17.500 --> 00:23.260 it occurred to me I really needed a new term to describe people 00:23.920 --> 00:29.680 who don't feel beholden to external authorities, who don't imagine 00:30.400 --> 00:31.900 that their own 00:32.880 --> 00:38.700 free will and judgment and conscience and moral code or whatever you want to call it should be 00:39.440 --> 00:46.800 subjugated to some outside supposed authority or or anything else and is weird trying to come up with the term that 00:46.800 --> 00:50.620 defines a negative. It describes a lack of something. 00:51.220 --> 00:54.000 So I settle on the the term unbound. 00:54.640 --> 00:59.880 It's actually a term Amanda and I have a song. We haven't released it, called that. 01:01.440 --> 01:02.640 On a whole album 01:03.480 --> 01:03.960 that 01:04.800 --> 01:06.440 we still have to work on. 01:07.560 --> 01:13.260 But it's the best term I could think of because it refers to the absence of things 01:13.260 --> 01:19.560 controlling your brain from the outside and it's one of those things that it's, you know, 01:19.580 --> 01:25.140 we already have the concept of self-ownership and non-aggression principle and a bunch of stuff like that, 01:25.240 --> 01:28.860 which is fine and dandy, but those don't describe the person 01:29.420 --> 01:32.620 who understands not only his own 01:34.460 --> 01:35.500 individual sovereignty. 01:36.260 --> 01:40.140 Again, I kind of hate that word just because some people have ruined it. It would be a perfectly 01:41.000 --> 01:42.340 useful and accurate term. 01:44.020 --> 01:45.600 Understands not only his own 01:46.740 --> 01:49.940 sovereignty and supremacy. That sounds even worse. 01:51.020 --> 01:56.500 But understands the same is true of every other individual like recognizes that look I'm this thing 01:56.500 --> 02:00.900 I think I can choose things I can decide things and act accordingly and 02:01.640 --> 02:06.640 that's also true of that person over there and that person over there and that person over there and just the 02:06.640 --> 02:11.020 the recognition of self-ownership of every individual 02:12.400 --> 02:17.700 not only is it a weird thing to need a word for because it's actually a description of a negative 02:18.260 --> 02:21.960 like you don't think you're beholden to something outside of yourself 02:23.620 --> 02:28.060 But it's it's what most people already think they are 02:28.640 --> 02:30.600 So using a term for it 02:31.340 --> 02:36.760 Feels extra weird because most people if you ask them who who owns you I own myself 02:36.760 --> 02:39.680 I mean, they may not phrase it that way, but whatever 02:40.340 --> 02:47.400 Do you ever HB free? Yeah, I should be in charge and my conscience and my brain. Yeah, I'm a thinking individual and 02:48.320 --> 02:56.260 Almost nobody is like they don't recognize the ways in which they absolutely feel beholden to something outside of themselves 02:56.260 --> 03:02.300 And so that that concept is like pretty fundamental to the book and 03:03.180 --> 03:04.900 it isn't even just a 03:05.520 --> 03:13.460 Moral prescription of here's what people should think it's it's literally the only sane option and the book explains 03:13.460 --> 03:19.160 Why and I've explained why before the the idea that you inside your own head should use your 03:19.160 --> 03:25.740 Conscience and moral code to decide that you shouldn't use your own conscience and moral code 03:25.740 --> 03:28.340 But you should defer to somebody outside of yourself 03:29.860 --> 03:30.380 It's 03:30.380 --> 03:33.660 Bonkers it doesn't make any sense never mind that it's also 03:34.220 --> 03:37.820 Destructive and immoral and stupid. It's also just literally insane 03:38.460 --> 03:42.240 For you to use your brain to decide that you shouldn't use your brain 03:42.240 --> 03:49.260 Well, I believe I should obey the law. I should let I should do what that authority tells me well 03:50.100 --> 03:53.160 How did you decide that? Well, he told me 03:53.160 --> 03:55.060 Yeah, but that doesn't work 03:55.760 --> 04:00.280 Logically that doesn't work you have to obey him because he said you have to obey him 04:00.280 --> 04:07.800 Something inside your head had to decide to believe him and if something inside your head was making that decision 04:08.280 --> 04:14.960 How weird is it for something inside your head to decide that you should stop listening to the thing inside your head? 04:16.020 --> 04:23.640 Except for when it tells you to not use it and instead defer to some external thing and so the book gets into why it's 04:23.640 --> 04:28.820 It's bonkers and you can use it, you know simple factual example to prove it like 04:29.520 --> 04:30.940 math or something 04:30.940 --> 04:35.920 Two plus two equals four well that guy says two plus two equals five so it must well 04:35.920 --> 04:40.640 Why do you think that because he's an expert? Why do you think that well? I decided that? 04:41.500 --> 04:48.720 Okay, well, can you also decide to like put two things next to do things and count them and see if it adds up to five 04:48.720 --> 04:51.640 No, I am I'm not qualified to do that 04:51.640 --> 04:57.600 But for some reason I'm qualified to decide that somebody else should be deferred to instead of me 04:58.420 --> 05:04.460 like how would you be qualified to do that if you're not the expert so the the 05:05.380 --> 05:12.100 The concept of imagining something outside of yourself that you're beholden to above your own conscience 05:12.720 --> 05:16.740 above your own gauge and judgment of right and wrong is 05:16.740 --> 05:20.860 Insane literally insane not just a bad idea. It's insane 05:21.420 --> 05:27.560 So and then to come up with a word or a term that defines people who don't have that particular 05:28.100 --> 05:32.240 Insanity is sort of weird, but unbound is what I settle on 05:33.080 --> 05:35.100 Because it's fairly 05:36.700 --> 05:41.500 Fairly precise and it's one word and it's convenient. So I use that in the book and we'll 05:41.500 --> 05:43.900 We'll be using that in the event too 05:44.520 --> 05:50.620 but it is it's very weird when you get outside of the mindset to look back on it and 05:51.500 --> 05:59.540 Realize how weird and irrational it is and then trying to explain to other people something that they think they already believe 05:59.540 --> 06:04.160 They already think they're in charge of their own brain. They already think that like well 06:04.160 --> 06:06.220 I have my conscience and my moral code 06:06.220 --> 06:10.480 Yeah, but zero status zero people who believe in government 06:11.220 --> 06:15.700 actually even believe in their own moral code or what they say is their own moral code and 06:16.720 --> 06:22.860 They don't get how bound they are by the the authoritarian indoctrination. They were subjected to 06:23.600 --> 06:28.460 so they don't get it's just that it's the like philosophical version of the 06:29.540 --> 06:33.260 None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free 06:34.900 --> 06:40.620 Wolfgang von Goeth there however the hell you say his name or even better the 06:40.620 --> 06:47.240 It's difficult to free fools from the chains they revere if people think they're already free 06:47.240 --> 06:50.440 They think they're already I am independent and thinking and blah blah blah 06:50.440 --> 06:53.880 But of course I have to obey the law and do what authority says 06:53.880 --> 06:57.080 It's like that doesn't matter what they say 06:57.820 --> 07:03.180 Because that's you deciding that you shouldn't rely on your own conscience 07:03.180 --> 07:07.880 You should obey the dictates of as it happens some of the worst people in the world 07:08.700 --> 07:09.180 really 07:09.840 --> 07:15.940 You think you're bound by that you think you're obligated not just how I better go along because they have people with guns 07:15.940 --> 07:21.440 Will beat me up if I don't okay. That's that can be a rational thing just like if I'm in a jungle 07:21.440 --> 07:24.100 And there's a tiger chasing me around as you probably run away 07:24.100 --> 07:27.580 It's not because you have a moral obligation to run away. It's because you don't want to get eaten 07:28.960 --> 07:35.860 But the idea that you should be beholden to somebody else's opinions above your own is 07:36.480 --> 07:41.760 Bunkers now other people's opinions can affect your own you can think about things you can consider things 07:41.760 --> 07:45.160 I could read this you can watch this you can decide what you think 07:45.960 --> 07:49.900 But it's literally bonkers to think that you should 07:49.900 --> 07:54.340 To for you to think inside your own head that you should subordinate 07:54.340 --> 08:01.000 Your own head and your own brain and your own intellect and your own conscience to something outside of yourself 08:01.000 --> 08:03.180 How the hell would you have decided that? 08:03.880 --> 08:09.100 Except with the thing that you were deciding should be subordinated to something else 08:10.600 --> 08:18.940 It's just it's so weird and to try to to come up with a term that describes not having a particularly really weird 08:19.700 --> 08:24.720 Inherently nonsensical belief kind of bizarre, but yeah, we settled on unbound 08:25.260 --> 08:31.320 So that is the term we shall be using its term the book already uses so once again you can pre-order the book 08:31.960 --> 08:37.540 Now it will be available July 18th, which just happens to be the day of our event up in Sedona 08:38.520 --> 08:41.240 So be there if you can it'll be really dang cool 08:42.160 --> 08:46.360 And and you get a copy of the book as part of the ticket price 08:47.640 --> 08:51.120 That those will be the first people who have the book in their hand 08:51.120 --> 08:56.900 But you can pre-order and in the week or two following the event I'll be shipping out books to whoever pre-orders 08:56.900 --> 09:01.360 So you can see that in the link below, but it's it's weird and you know, I know 09:02.040 --> 09:03.680 Tons of you can already relate 09:04.420 --> 09:10.440 It's weird trying to describe terms that once you see them. They're so obviously self-evident 09:11.380 --> 09:16.020 That it's hard to put them in the words because the words are so simple like 09:16.680 --> 09:23.680 You should do what you think you should do like that's it's not even that I think you're gonna be right all the time 09:24.320 --> 09:32.100 It's that it would be bonkers for you to think that you're morally obligated to do something other than what you think you should do 09:32.100 --> 09:33.760 It's that bonkers 09:34.440 --> 09:42.480 To believe in an external authority something outside of yourself that you're beholden to it's that bonkers that would mean you 09:42.480 --> 09:48.320 Feeling a moral obligation to not rely on your own judgment of 09:49.060 --> 09:53.060 Morality and right and wrong whatever that is however you define it wherever it comes from 09:54.420 --> 10:00.040 Doesn't matter. It's still utterly bonkers for you to think that the right thing for you to do 10:01.040 --> 10:05.640 Is to not use the thing inside your brain that tells you the right thing to do 10:06.480 --> 10:09.020 That's but that is inherent to the belief in authority 10:09.020 --> 10:17.360 So the people who see through that and go yeah, that's bonkers. We're using the term unbound to describe those people 10:18.000 --> 10:23.640 So yeah, try to be unbound because the only other option is being literally insane 10:23.640 --> 10:30.900 Which is most of the world sadly and that's why I keep making videos and writing books and putting on events 10:30.900 --> 10:37.640 Just to try to get people to choose the non insane option on that particular issue 10:37.640 --> 10:46.080 And like you don't need to agree with me about anything else like literally just trying to get people to not be insane 10:46.600 --> 10:51.880 So, uh, yeah, if you know anybody who you'd like to not be insane encourage them to be 10:52.400 --> 10:57.380 in Sedona on July 18th for our event approaching humanity 10:57.920 --> 11:01.860 Yeehaw where we will do our best to unbind them 11:02.440 --> 11:06.400 From the bogus literal insanity that they were taught
