| 0:00.0 | So we've been talking about integralism, and as well, this post-liberal movement, what I think you should properly |
| 0:25.2 | call an anti-liberty movement, if you're really able to use the right terminology. |
| 0:32.8 | Because that's the intent is you're talking about the collectivization of the way society is ordered, as opposed |
| 0:40.3 | to the way that we've done things here in the United States of America. |
| 0:45.3 | So, integralism and the challenge to cognitive liberty. |
| 0:50.3 | But let's first talk about one aspect of integralism that is important to understand. |

| 1:45.5 | No, we need to understand things as, you know, you'll own nothing in the future and you'll be happy. |
| 1:52.0 | Okay, here's another term. Very important term to understand. Subsidiarity. |
| 1:56.7 | A community of a higher order should not interfere in the eternal life of a community of a lower order, |
| 2:04.1 | depriving the latter of its functions, but rather should support it in case of need and help to coordinate |
