Summary

"hi again, I have a fun question, that is tongue and cheek. In your book the Art of The Argument, on page 108, last paragraph it talks about activity in the female brain, that generally differs from the male brain. Specifically the Dorso-medial prefontal cortex and the right amygdala. I'm summarizing that men tend to be more analytical in thinking, and women are more emotional. If we are wired differently, and of course there are always exceptions, should we as a society go back to more traditional roles in society, like more men in politics, arena's of science etc, and women being teachers and more nurturing professions since we are literally wired differently?"

"Many young people at my work have no interest in having children, even though they are completely capable of doing so. Even people in their late 20's and early 30's say they don't want kids. All the reasons are for selfish reasons, such as children are too expensive or they just want to "enjoy life", or that waking up all night is too much stress for them to take care of an infant. Is not having children on purpose even if completely capable of doing so immoral?"

0:00.0	All right, good morning, everybody. Questions from freedom main.locals.com, somebody says,
0:05.1	Hi again, I have a fun question. That is tongue in cheek. In your book, The Art of the
0:11.5	argument, on page 108, last paragraph, it talks about activity in the female brain that generally
0:17.0	differs from the male brain, specifically the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex
0:22.2	and the right amygdala.
0:23.6	I'm summarizing that men tend to be more analytical than thinking and women are more emotional.
0:28.2	If we are wired differently, and of course there are always exceptions, should we, as a society,
0:32.9	go back to more traditional roles in society, like more men in politics, arenas of science, etc., and
0:38.4	women being teachers and nurturing professionals, since we are literally wired differently.
0:44.2	Right. So, my only prescription is no violence. I don't, I don't have any prescription,
0:58.2	other than thou shalt not. Right. I don't have any prescription other than thou shalt not. I don't have a prescription for society. I don't have a goal for society. I don't have an ought for society. All I have
1:05.0	is ought not. Thou shalt not initiate force against thy fellow man and woman, and in particular, child.
1:16.6	It's all I got. It's all I have. As far as how society should be constituted, I don't know, and don't care.
1:24.6	And don't care. I refuse to submit to the narcissism of
1:31.1	micromanaging billions and billions of people. The only way that you can tell someone what they
1:39.0	must do rather than what they must not do, the only way that you can even consider telling someone what he
1:45.7	must do is if you dehumanize him completely and replace him as a meat puppet populated only by your
1:52.4	own bottomless vanity. I'm not talking about you. I'm just talking about the general mindset.
1:56.9	You must do this. Women ought to do that. Men should do this. I don't care. I don't want to care. It doesn't matter to me. What matters to me is people get out of my face with their guns. That's what matters to me. That's what is of concern to me. What they do, when they're not, baying for the initiation of force against me,
2:18.4	I don't care.
2:19.9	I don't care.
2:21.4	I don't want people robbing my house.
