How Much Do You Value The Internet?
Another way of looking at this is by asking this question: which would you prefer, to be a latent human being or an active human being? How much money would it take for you to eradicate your vital and inherent nature to search for truth?
This is bad news for the interventionists and their institutions because the seeking nature of humans has finally been released from bondage and now all of the unethical and oppressive schemes by the interventionists are being scrutinized and being deemed unjust.
“Another way of looking at this is by asking this question: which would you prefer, to be a latent human being or an active human being? How much money would it take for you to eradicate your vital and inherent nature to search for truth?”
How many people (or rather, how many Americans) do you think would actually understand these questions?
Whether they fully understand the question is not important. Actions seem to be indicating that people are recognizing what is truly valuable to them and access to knowledge is unquestionably of the highest ranking. This means that the propagandization by the State is losing its influence.
I don’t know what you mean by “Apparently people would rather stay poor”! I think this goes to show how valuable internet really is. These were mostly young folks with most of their lives ahead of them. It will be terrible to give up so much with much of their future ahead of them.
This is good news. I think those people were quite sincere, judging from their responses.
He was making a joke.
Great video. It quickly and effectively explains the benefits of capitalism. The next time my moronic coworkers start ranting about “greedy capitalists, blah blah blah, rich get richer, blah blah blah” I’m going to point them to this video.

Another reason not to click on spammer links is that the HTTP referer [sic] field tells them that you came from mises.org, so they know that their spam here worked and thus ramp up their effots. If you ever want to visit a spam link, out of curiosity, right-click and copy the URL, then manually paste it into the location.
Right now, as we speak, my net worth is $340 and I would not give up the Internet for $1,000,000
The internet is not just about knowledge, it’s about communication, cooperation, transactions.
The Internet is more than just a giant library, it’s the great multiplier of thought.
i wonder why apparent rational human beings think so strongly that only when you have internet access you are an active human being and any other means of human interaction and communication means a vegetable and inactive men and society!?
yes, all over the world is a lot of poor humans judged by occidental metrics of life standards because they chose to be free and to do not give up freedom and true happiness for a handful of money be it worthless paper money or gold money!
and is also true that this freedom of choice and liberty is threatened in every moment, even today on our high standards societies by greed mens and powerful networks of hidden interest who rather make war, destroy and enslave entire tribes just to force defeated tribes to enroll as second citizens in pretended superior white societies …
several centuries ago indian tribes of blessed america always chose freedom and not gold money and every time the alleged superior civilization of the whites attacked and destroyed them stealing land, wealth and making them slaves or second class servants on white plantations or groceries!
black africans gradually replaced native populations as second class citizens and slaves only because a lot of indians would rather die than be slaves and second class servants in the land of free choice and free mens, what a joke!
remember geronimo? why you think operation against osama ben-laden was named operation geronimo? no mistakes, judged by actual standards geronimo desperate fight for his tribe right of free choice was by any actual standard a terrorist waged war!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geronimo
better be poor and free than rich and enslaved! better to fight and die as an free lion that live like a second class rat citizen!
oh yes! land of freedom! land of free choices, land of free mens! but not if you are an indian and your land shall be my land!
“yes, all over the world is a lot of poor humans judged by occidental metrics of life standards because they chose to be free and to do not give up freedom and true happiness for a handful of money be it worthless paper money or gold money!”
I made that choice, I am now poor but I am extremely happy and feel free. I cannot be locked up in a 9 to 5 job anyways nor any kinds of jobs for that matters. I need to be free. I love to work, to work hard and to accomplish things, but I absolutely hate employment and would rather do without a lot of things in life than being employed.
