@@Cuchulainn1984 The flaw with that objectivistic line of thought is that it's attributing equal pleasure to the altruistic deed and the satisfaction. If I donate all my free money to the homeless, I'l get a feeling of satisfaction when I do so, but that feeling will fade far faster than the pleasure I could have derived from that money. Yet I would not regret doing so. In terms of value it's an inequal exchange done out of empathy.

That's actually a profound thought though. You should ask yourself *why* the old man enjoys gardening. It probably isn't because he likes crawling about in dirt all day. No, it's because gardening carries a certain meaning that pleases him. He knows the tree will grow to be mighty and tall in he plants that tiny seed today. That in many years townspeople will come sit in the shade of it. His tiny action right now will have huge consequences on the future. It makes him feel powerful. Something like that. The point is that the ostensibly moral action of planting that seed is actually thoroughly selfish.

2:00 when Carl brings up that he enjoyed gardening anyway after basically getting the essence of the proverb, he does the thing that he always does. He reduces things, takes the pomposity out of them and puts them in a context that maybe others haven't thought of. In other word what he's saying here is that old man in the proverb, like every human being will do things for mixed reasons, not just out of altruism but also out of a simple enjoyment of gardening (or more generally whatever altruistic activity he chooses to engages with). It's like he's not just focussing on what you're meant to "get" from the proverb. Instead he extends the meaning: the idea that an altruistic act is hardly ever devoid of some kind of enjoyment of that act. And Merchant annoyingly zeroes in on Karl focussing on "gardening". When what Karl really is focussing on is the enjoyment aspect of altruism. Of course sometimes he does miss the point but still he's really interesting how he thinks

that's actually a very good point about taking personal responsibility.

“ but his head come off” is just a great example of the perfect comedic timing karl possesses.

The way Karl has more sympathy and compassion for insects than actual human beings lmao

"But his head come off." I love Karl

I just love it when Karl says 'Knockn' about'

The animators are to be highly commended. Even down to the expressiveness of Karl’s fingers and hands.

I think Karl just has all of his empathy for insects instead of humans.

Libertarian Carl is my kinda guy

"With death comes beauty.... You can have that one" FML Crying here

He's heads in great condition, its just not attached to his body! Psml

I agree with Karl about the nanny state and the helmets

Dear God when karl said "I'm gonna put you in a home". I was eating a burrito and I laughed so hard I had beans come out my nose and now it's burning. Karl is a national treasure

I agree with President Pilkington

i love karls social engineering. "Don't let them breed"

Karl might be the greatest example of Chaotic Neutral ever in real life.

I never thought I’d ever end up agreeing with Karl but when it came to the crash helmet & responsibility I was on his side! Lol

Yeah this is one of those rare times when Karl actually sounds like the wise one and Ricky and Steve come off like a couple of nutters.

9:21 " I'm not spending tax payers money on cupboards" 😂

Karl talking about wage slavery and stuff. Like they treat him like he’s stupid but he’s really not. Like the bit about “the guy got some joy out of planting the tree” in the metaphor, understanding that even if you don’t benefit doing good does bring you some joy too.

The head was in great condition... It just wasn't connected to his body anymore!

“Rosie Parks”

This is one of the first times I paid attention to the sound of the episode than the visuals, the score is actually really good, it's almost cinematic!

Karl despite being constantly mocked and misrepresented, retains his integrity and always puts forward his view (and insightful it is) with the greatest civility.

This is hands down, the best Episode of the whole show.

3:22 just realised that’s abbey road, it has the beetle car in the background as well from the Beatles album cover

Psst. Little piece of trivia... On the album cover theres a guy in the background to the right of the car on the oncoming side of the road. He was alive a very long time and in an interview in old age he said "i still dont like the beatles" source: an old ass vsauce video most likely on an unrelated topic

"I've sorted it " 🤣🤣🤣

Actually, there have been evidence suggesting that the builders of the pyramid were very well treated

The people building the pyramids were hired workers well compensated for their labours, they considered the building of the pyramids a great honour, greater even as when they died they would be buried next to the pyramids. Since to them the pharaoh was a god on earth this was a high honour.

This is without doubt one of the best episodes. Merchant sharp as ever, Karl just nailing every point. The other guy laughing hard.

The things Karl says, really make sense if you think about it. Simple yet so profound

"We want him to be an accountant...........gay accountant." Omg I died

Its ironic how i used to laugh at this guy when this first came out, now I've grew into exactly who he is 😂😂😂

5:30 it's not the role of the government to protect people. Their job is to protect the rights of the people. If some idiot wants to not wear a helmet, they can make that choice. Even if it was the law, he could still choose to not wear one. It is entirely their fault, not anybody else's.

Love the crash helmet thing...well said Karl. Karl for prime minister.

Karls message of individualism is so right

Ricky: “I want our society to be more egalitarian, more free” Also Ricky: “the government should force people to do things they don’t want that has arguable benefits because the government knows better.”

@@pinata111colada it’s actually a pretty contested subject, while helmets are at least moderately effective in preventing skull and some brain injuries they don’t protect from concussions and they don’t protect against spinal and neck injuries, some of the most common in motorcycle accidents. Helmets are something around 60 or 70% effective against injuries that only happen 10% of time. Then there’s the ethical considerations of forcing someone to do something with their body. Now don’t misunderstand me I’m not saying you shouldn’t wear a helmet, I’m saying it’s hypocritical to say you “I want people to be more free” while at the same time supporting laws that make certain actions that those people do with their life and property compulsory.

@@monauralsnail0669 Even if helmets may not be really effective in preventing all head injuries, it's a hell of a lot more safe than wearing nothing. I think you misquoted Ricky there. Ricky mentioned that he was an egalitarian, enforcing laws do not contradict that axiom. In fact, I'll even say that if he did say he wanted people to be more free, enforcing laws can actually do that regardless. For example, by enforcing people to wear helmets, you may have saved a life there. Even though the person had to wear a helmet, now they won't be forced to live as a vegetable for the rest of their damn life. Besides, the law enforces you to do shit all the time, it is an inevitable agreement you made when you joined society. If you don't like it become full monke or some shit. As long as the government is running to the people's interests (democratic), then it is not hypocritical and definitely preferable.

9:00 i hope ricky dosnt actually think that locking up a smack head would actually cure their addiction

I feel bad for Carl, they’re making so much fun of him
