Aphorisms in Honor of Liberty, Part Nine (24m) – Episode 441
Post by Skyler J. Collins (Editor). Episode 441 has Skyler giving his commentary on the following aphorisms written by Jakub Bożydar Wiśniewski: "A good economist believes that the ones best suited to deal with the problem of scarcity are entrepreneurs. A bad economist believes that it’s the economists."; "A fool believes that individual liberty can be established by means of political power. A person of reason believes that political power can be abolished by means of individual liberty."; "A 'just tax' is something akin to an 'affectionate rape'."; "If the best thing you can say about something is that it is a “necessary evil”, then it is as obviously evil as it is unnecessary."; "Border: the geographical expression of tribal parochialism."; "A wise person is someone who is grateful for being called a fool when he’s wrong, indifferent to being called a fool when he’s right, embarrassed at being called a sage when he’s right, and troubled by being called a sage when he’s wrong."
