I’ve always been a lover of books. And in trying to teach people the morality of freedom I usually try to push books on people. Unfortunately, this has almost universally been a failing tactic. People don’t have the reading skills or the patience to spend a couple of dozen hours learning about my point of view. Fortunately, with the advent of the internet and low-entry costs to video making, the Non-Aggression Principle can be spread far and wide to all audiences. One such person doing this is Larken Rose.
I think he’s got an excellent marketing tool for one of his books. He creates fun and easy to understand lessons in animation and uses them to segue into an advertisement. The lessons alone are extremely valuable, but for those interested in further study Larken pitches them a softball. Here is an example of what I am talking about. If you enjoy this video please share it with others.
That video looks like an excellent way to humble those who thing they have all the answers to everyone else’s problems.
Great video, but, unfortunately, the people who need to see it won’t watch it. God forbid! They might actually learn something.
This video may not convert the die hard statists, but it will definitely make a lot of middle-of-the-roaders think differently about the state.
Works like this are definitely more important to potential ‘buyers’ or even people who are just window shopping for different viewpoints. But owners of other models certainly won’t be interested.
I shared this on twitter and Google+. Winning over just one person is a huge deal, because once someone learns the truth, they spread it like crazy. I find it one of my main goals in life educating people about the evils of the state, and trying to rid the world of it.
Have you seen “George Ought to Help”?
