This is basically the message I'm getting after watching a minute because I don't want to eat up much data on this: Click for larger image I'll be back on the weekend to watch it in its entirety.

While I don't disagree with the video, it benefits everybody to be part of such a "farm". Yes, exploitation occurs all the way from minimal to extreme levels, but this is what makes a society function. Would you really rather not be part of a society and go back to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle? I doubt anyone of us would last long.

By the way, I scanned throughout the video so if I missed something, sorry.

Watch it right through.

It's important to really understand what the vid is getting at; this isn't about the problems in 'society', it's about the inevitable outcomes of big governments/statism (and all that goes with it) in its current forms.

there are some people in this world that just want to control others, and different people act responsibly with their power

(regarding to his thesis on manipulation and exploiting)
So our biggest flaw is that we are rational beings? Is this guy a fucking idiot? Could we manipulate without being rational ourselves? No of course not. Manipulation is a judgment of, or combination of, many different evolutionary techniques. The manipulator uses rational process to benefit from his manipulation. Foresight is characteristic a rational beings.

The author of this is misidentifying the problem because the exigence is actually a description

be thankful that you can really do anything you want to in your life.
be thankful that you have the privilege to bitch about stuff like this.
be thankful that you were even created for some unknown reason.

i understand that there are flaws in the government but.....
