Hey, Larkin-Rosier. What is a word that means somebody who doesn't have any scorpions in their hair?
Surely there's a term for that.
No, surely there isn't. While writing the book, Approaching Humanity,
it occurred to me I really needed a new term to describe people
who don't feel beholden to external authorities, who don't imagine
that their own
free will and judgment and conscience and moral code or whatever you want to call it should be
subjugated to some outside supposed authority or or anything else and is weird trying to come up with the term that
defines a negative. It describes a lack of something.
So I settle on the the term unbound.
It's actually a term Amanda and I have a song. We haven't released it, called that.
On a whole album
that
we still have to work on.
But it's the best term I could think of because it refers to the absence of things
controlling your brain from the outside and it's one of those things that it's, you know,
we already have the concept of self-ownership and non-aggression principle and a bunch of stuff like that,
which is fine and dandy, but those don't describe the person
who understands not only his own
individual sovereignty.
Again, I kind of hate that word just because some people have ruined it. It would be a perfectly
useful and accurate term.
Understands not only his own
sovereignty and supremacy. That sounds even worse.
But understands the same is true of every other individual like recognizes that look I'm this thing
I think I can choose things I can decide things and act accordingly and
that's also true of that person over there and that person over there and that person over there and just the
the recognition of self-ownership of every individual
not only is it a weird thing to need a word for because it's actually a description of a negative
like you don't think you're beholden to something outside of yourself
But it's it's what most people already think they are
So using a term for it
Feels extra weird because most people if you ask them who who owns you I own myself
I mean, they may not phrase it that way, but whatever
Do you ever HB free? Yeah, I should be in charge and my conscience and my brain. Yeah, I'm a thinking individual and
Almost nobody is like they don't recognize the ways in which they absolutely feel beholden to something outside of themselves
And so that that concept is like pretty fundamental to the book and
it isn't even just a
Moral prescription of here's what people should think it's it's literally the only sane option and the book explains
Why and I've explained why before the the idea that you inside your own head should use your
Conscience and moral code to decide that you shouldn't use your own conscience and moral code
But you should defer to somebody outside of yourself
It's
Bonkers it doesn't make any sense never mind that it's also
Destructive and immoral and stupid. It's also just literally insane
For you to use your brain to decide that you shouldn't use your brain
Well, I believe I should obey the law. I should let I should do what that authority tells me well
How did you decide that? Well, he told me
Yeah, but that doesn't work
Logically that doesn't work you have to obey him because he said you have to obey him
Something inside your head had to decide to believe him and if something inside your head was making that decision
How weird is it for something inside your head to decide that you should stop listening to the thing inside your head?
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
It's bonkers and you can use it, you know simple factual example to prove it like
math or something
Two plus two equals four well that guy says two plus two equals five so it must well
Why do you think that because he's an expert? Why do you think that well? I decided that?
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
No, I am I'm not qualified to do that
But for some reason I'm qualified to decide that somebody else should be deferred to instead of me
like how would you be qualified to do that if you're not the expert so the the
The concept of imagining something outside of yourself that you're beholden to above your own conscience
above your own gauge and judgment of right and wrong is
Insane literally insane not just a bad idea. It's insane
So and then to come up with a word or a term that defines people who don't have that particular
Insanity is sort of weird, but unbound is what I settle on
Because it's fairly
Fairly precise and it's one word and it's convenient. So I use that in the book and we'll
We'll be using that in the event too
but it is it's very weird when you get outside of the mindset to look back on it and
Realize how weird and irrational it is and then trying to explain to other people something that they think they already believe
They already think they're in charge of their own brain. They already think that like well
I have my conscience and my moral code
Yeah, but zero status zero people who believe in government
actually even believe in their own moral code or what they say is their own moral code and
They don't get how bound they are by the the authoritarian indoctrination. They were subjected to
so they don't get it's just that it's the like philosophical version of the
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free
Wolfgang von Goeth there however the hell you say his name or even better the
It's difficult to free fools from the chains they revere if people think they're already free
They think they're already I am independent and thinking and blah blah blah
But of course I have to obey the law and do what authority says
It's like that doesn't matter what they say
Because that's you deciding that you shouldn't rely on your own conscience
You should obey the dictates of as it happens some of the worst people in the world
really
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
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
And there's a tiger chasing me around as you probably run away
It's not because you have a moral obligation to run away. It's because you don't want to get eaten
But the idea that you should be beholden to somebody else's opinions above your own is
Bunkers now other people's opinions can affect your own you can think about things you can consider things
I could read this you can watch this you can decide what you think
But it's literally bonkers to think that you should
To for you to think inside your own head that you should subordinate
Your own head and your own brain and your own intellect and your own conscience to something outside of yourself
How the hell would you have decided that?
Except with the thing that you were deciding should be subordinated to something else
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
Inherently nonsensical belief kind of bizarre, but yeah, we settled on unbound
So that is the term we shall be using its term the book already uses so once again you can pre-order the book
Now it will be available July 18th, which just happens to be the day of our event up in Sedona
So be there if you can it'll be really dang cool
And and you get a copy of the book as part of the ticket price
That those will be the first people who have the book in their hand
But you can pre-order and in the week or two following the event I'll be shipping out books to whoever pre-orders
So you can see that in the link below, but it's it's weird and you know, I know
Tons of you can already relate
It's weird trying to describe terms that once you see them. They're so obviously self-evident
That it's hard to put them in the words because the words are so simple like
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
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
It's that bonkers
To believe in an external authority something outside of yourself that you're beholden to it's that bonkers that would mean you
Feeling a moral obligation to not rely on your own judgment of
Morality and right and wrong whatever that is however you define it wherever it comes from
Doesn't matter. It's still utterly bonkers for you to think that the right thing for you to do
Is to not use the thing inside your brain that tells you the right thing to do
That's but that is inherent to the belief in authority
So the people who see through that and go yeah, that's bonkers. We're using the term unbound to describe those people
So yeah, try to be unbound because the only other option is being literally insane
Which is most of the world sadly and that's why I keep making videos and writing books and putting on events
Just to try to get people to choose the non insane option on that particular issue
And like you don't need to agree with me about anything else like literally just trying to get people to not be insane
So, uh, yeah, if you know anybody who you'd like to not be insane encourage them to be
in Sedona on July 18th for our event approaching humanity
Yeehaw where we will do our best to unbind them
From the bogus literal insanity that they were taught
