I agree with the first part...Anyone that spanks a child who is too young to know the reason why what they did was wrong is simply committing CHILD ABUSE. The second part is a matter of preference of punishment really. The child knows what they did was wrong and why it is wrong, so how does the parent enforce deterrence. I probably wouldn't spank my kids but I don't see the option being on the table as strictly wrong and not as child abuse in the second case. Obviously, any physical deterrence should be such that no real harm is caused

I am working on a graduate level degree in a psychological field that deals with interventions in youth. The research strongly demonstrates that spanking is overall negative. It increases risks of aggression, risk of suspensions, violent crime, domestic abuse, and difficulty maintaining relationships later in life. It also does not motivate a child to change the behavior but to avoid the spanking. This results in children who are spanked demonstrating statistically significantly higher usage of lying and manipulation. The research shows that setting clear expectations (with clearly explained reasoning) and consequences for violating the expectations is the most effective method of discipline. It also fosters positive pro social character traits.

Museums are tasked with safeguarding a nation's cultural heritage, taxpayers should absolutely be expected to fund that.

I think you are wrong about two things Kyle: 1. Repressing negative emotions doesn't actually fix the underlying problem, and if you use that to cope persistently, eventually the core of the issue will emerge more strongly because you put it off for so long 2. As usual, and as I've said before, you are wrong on the death penalty. You don't prove the immorality of murder with state-sanctioned murder. Almost anyone can be rehabilitated, and by denying those who have committed even the most heinous of crimes their transformation, you miss out on the possibility that they could bring value to the world through their perspective that you couldn't have predicted and would have not have gotten if you had just killed them at the earliest instance. If murder is wrong, then it is always wrong (save self-defence, which isn't murder in the first degree anyway), and no one should have the right to take the life of another person. 3. It is not "just nice to have" writers and artists, and they are not less important than manufacturers and businesspeople. Writers and artists have literally been responsible for complete revolutions on society that on aggregate elevate the state of humanity far more than production of goods has. Of course both are important for a society, but to underplay the importance of art in mobilising groups of people to create positive change is a mistake. Furthermore, if you consider politcal commentary a form of art, then it absolutely should be included as a powerful force in shaping minds, just as you do, which can change the outcome of an election.

All the questions are couched in loaded terms I mean they use words like "foolish" for god's sake. It's a political compass, you're stating the obvious. My point was that your initial comment was about people not being able to find work at all. The premise of the question was that the OPPORTUNITY WAS REFUSED. So the question has nothing to do with those who search hard and cannot find a job, since refusing an opportunity literally means REFUSING WORK THAT HAS BEEN FOUND AND IS SUITABLE. I'm not sure how to explain this in simpler terms. You are talking about a different cohort of unemployed people that the question does not evoke. Even if it is based off a trope, you still have to answer it. That's the fucking point of the questionnaire. There are able-bodied people out there who REFUSE A CONCRETE OFFER and I do not think they should be cut from the social safety net.

@@AlexanderShamov the grant allocation committee thing you mentioned doesn't *have* to be a problem. where I am, in the UK, the "arts council" gives out grants to all sorts of artists, performers and musicians regardless of taste, because their decision boards rotate every year. this diversity can obviously applied to every future government program. one of the biggest examples of arts funding, particularly for those at school, is that learning an instrument actually makes you better at all subjects, including ones not related to music at all. so if we had the option for all kids to learn an instrument from a very young age and they were encouraged to carry it on, and play in bands and orchestras, you'd see huge improvements in other parts of their academic and social careers. also it's common for people 30+ to hardly have any hobbies which keep them happy - what if they had a theatre club to go to, funded by the taxpayer? what if there they found a new circle of friends who helped them to deal with their mid-life crisis? they'd be happier! these things don't just come from nowhere (look at our current situation, where all we basically have is scarce access to this kind of stuff through the private sector) and when they're backed by the government and actually implemented within communities, people will be far more likely to make use of these things. it's also just great to be exposed to a lot of art and theatre and music and dance generally. there's a deep reason why kyle chose the "agree" option when it came to "abstract art that does not represent anything should not be considered art at all" - it's because he clearly wasn't shown this kind of art and taught about it from a young age, so of _course_ he's going to think that. I, personally, couldn't imagine ever answering "agree" to a question like that because it's fundamentally bigoted for people who know don't know anything about art to decide that something isn't art. "I dunno" is a far fairer answer, and "sure! that could be art!" is the truly open-minded option. if we want people to score high on the "openness to experience" metric, as many who watch this channel presumably do, we need to be encouraging openness to arts from a very early age. people will be way better off as a result.

Art is absolutely vital to any society. In a systemic or scientific sense, I would classify art as the methodologies that we use to pass exoteric and esoteric information between people while maintaining individuality. (Common knowledge and Rare/Expert knowledge) We have two ways to communicate, the scientific and the artistic. If something cannot be easily quantified into a formula or category we need a way to transmit that information or we lose the whole idea of nuance and we will all eventually run on beep boop, on off, black white, computer logic like the fucking Borg. See? One "art" word to describe an entire extended scientific classification of human-like behavior and motivation, and you know it intuitively, as if you had been friends with the subject for years, whether or not you study robotics or have even seen Star Trek in many cases through word of mouth. To be extra pretentious, the arts are the shading on the comic page, the sciences are the ink lines...and the Virtual Boy was a failure...and House of Leaves is the greatest book ever written despite it not being a book, and not existing in some cases and reference material...

They are usually socially very progressive, but they just disagree on the tactics of fighting bigotry (and a lot of the time assume malicious intent behind people's words, even if someone is accidentally "problematic"). What would put you on the "socially authoritarian" side would be stuff like if you disagreed with people's right to abortion. The "woke left" isn't more authoritarian on most things. It's just their overly aggressive advocacy for social justice on social media that makes it seem like they want to dictate how people should/shouldn't think. They most likely think the same way about most issues as other leftists, but it's their tactics that makes people disagree with them. (Just because one aggressively attacks people whose views they perceive as homophobic or transphobic on social media, doesn't mean that they would be fine with the government silencing those people. Attacking other people's views is free speech, no matter how aggressively you do it.) There's probably a couple of things that would give them some "authoritarian points". One that comes to my mind would be hate speech laws. But I think most of them would still be somewhere in the left libertarian area. Some of the "woke left" people might not be that far to the left, though, because they may only care about social justice issues and not that much about left wing economics. This includes people who voted for Hillary Clinton just because she's a woman, and people who think Bernie Sanders is a sexist. So, if one only cares about "social justice issues", their other political views can be whatever. So, it really depends on what people mean by "woke left". Some "militant feminists" are anarchists, so they are both more left and more libertarian than Kyle would be. But if by "woke left" you mean people who vote for Hillary Clinton just because she's a woman (and don't really care about any other issues), then sure, those people would probably not be in the libertarian left area.

Authoritarianism vs libertarianism simply means how much you want the government to be involved with the choices people make. So, if you think abortion should be illegal, then you are more authoritarian than someone who thinks abortion should be legal. Someone who thinks there should be some limitations to abortion would also be more authoritarian than someone who thinks all abortion should be always fine, no questions asked (and I think most people are for some kind of limitations for abortion). So, "Libertarian" doesn't mean "good", "authoritarian" doesn't mean "bad". They are just descriptions of your views on the role of the government. One can be anti-abortion and still be fine with it being legal, though, which is when your views on abortion don't affect your authoritarianism. Similarly, one's veganism doesn't necessarily affect how authoritarian or libertarian they are. But if you wanted to ban all animal-based products, that would make you more authoritarian.

Have you guys seen the compass print out? It shows the compass with a bunch of different political/economic leaders to give you an idea of where you are! I’m in between Bernie and Nicola sturgeon! A little north of the smack dab middle of the Left-Libertarian!

I think that a good example for the "Those who are able to work and refuse the opportunity, should not expect society's support." is this: If you have a universal healthcare program for every citizen and someone wants to take the equivalent of a gap year in between jobs, should they still have access to the "free" healthcare? They are able to work but don't want to, can they still expect society's support in a medical emergency?

Took the test. I’m pretty conservative/right on economics, and mostly libertarian. Still appreciate Secular Talk tho

Kyle's disagreement with "from each according to their ability, to each according to their need" comes off like kind of a reactionary copout. He disagrees with it because he doesn't identify as a communist? Is that the only reason? I'd expect a bit more of an in-depth reasoning from Kyle for why this is not a good principle. This is one of the questions you'd expect a really thoughtful response from but it's just Kyle's usual liberal mind prison keeping him from going too far outside of the main stream.

@@sydandtaytum I can't tell you how it should be interpreted (I recommend doing a web search on the official explanations - it's a famous Marx quote), but I will give you a rough interpretation of my own: I see it as meaning that resources, expectations, and organization of society are based on what people can do and what they need. So kinda along the lines of the reasoning Kyle was getting into with giving people a basic UBI even if they don't want to work. To me, that's an example along the lines of the phrase, that some people won't currently have the ability to work for whatever reason (physical or psychological) but we still give them basic resources to get their needs met. Some people will have an enormous amount to contribute, but we don't necessarily need to venerate them and give them everything; we just need to make sure their needs are met. As I interpret it, it's leaning more away from meritocracy ideology into the idea that making sure basic needs are met is more important than this idea of giving people "what they deserve as proportional to what they contribute." People are not all the same, they aren't born equal, and so meritocracy struggles to hold up as reasonable or fair. It's always going to benefit one group disproportionately over another. If you bypass that problem and go straight to focusing on getting peoples' needs met and uplifting peoples' strengths where they can be most helpful and fulfilled, now you have (in theory) a more equitable and humane society.

I ride the line on that "it is a fundamentally good idea" - I tend to say agree but not strongly only because that statement is the basis of social welfare nets. From those with ability and earnings to people without in their times of need. I also think that inherently on paper Communism is a good-spirited idea but one that is fundamentally incompatible with human individualism and greed and one which will always be corrupted by the humans pulling the levers. That is why the world has never really seen Communism as it gets corrupted by authoritarianism. So Communism on paper is great - Communism in action in the real world is non-attainable and becomes distorted. But the overall "from each, to each" sentiment is one I agree with in part.

Very few people that already haven’t decided to stay at home are going to say “right lads I’m gonna pack up work and watch reruns of murder she wrote for the rest of my days”. No, that’s not how it works. People will just view it as a pay rise and a rise in quality of life. UBI barely is enough to get by. If anything, UBI gives people more drive as it frees up mental bandwidth and allows them breathing room to study and do what they actually feel raises their utility/interest the most in life. That’s great for society. And I haven’t even talked about the economic benefits of it...

From an artists perspective, Kyle misunderstands a few things. Abstract art is actually a lot more difficult than people think. There's usually thought behind it. Also it's about what looks aesthetically pleasing. That's what makes art valuable to people most of the time. So there is value to good looking abstract art and it deserves respect. With art and writing, those are essential things depending on the application. Rick's quote from Rick and Morty "sometimes science is more art than science". What about inventions? Most inventions are drawn first with blueprints, sketches. You need an artists mind to interpret things. I could go on but overall these things go hand in hand. You can't really have one with out the other and more often they enhance each other.

Okay, Kyle, and audience. I’m here to try to give a more philosophical argument for abstract, and generally all art. Please hear me out. After attending some art schooling in my younger years, specifically in musical composition, I met one of the most influential people on my philosophical and artistic life: My composition teacher; and he said something along the lines of this: “Art isn’t what happens onstage, it’s what happens in the audience.” That changed my whole life because I was somewhat open to abstract ideas in art and music but for the most part it didn’t really move me. And after some time to myself after taking those classes I have come to a personal conclusion: Art only exists in the mind, it’s a human construct but even more than that it’s a part of the human experience, if not an essential one. And I think most people generally would agree with that. However, if art exists in the mind what prompts it to exist? Let’s cover the easy stimulus’ of art: paintings, music, plays, movies, etc. But if we can agree (or even pretend to agree) for a moment that art happens in the mind and is influenced by a set of stimuli, then why say that the stimulus even has to be man made? Therefore I would believe anything in the world that you hear, see, touch, experience can be viewed through the human experience where you can consider the artistic nature of all things and therefore brings it into artistic fruition in your mind. That’s why I think abstract art ties more into the idea of the artistic nature of experience and being human, than it does with “I can choose whatever it means to me.” So I may not ask you to come and enjoy abstract art, because if it’s not your thing it just isn’t and that’s just as valid as anything, but I will ask you to maybe open your mind to the idea that all things can be art (I emphasize the word CAN be art opposed to using the term all things ARE art). Maybe not good art (and actually there is a lot of shitty art out there) but simply art.

@Ken Hudson That would be a good question. Answer: it's difficult to answer. My main problem is with a system that allows unfair accumulation of wealth, especially when there are more pressing matters like starvation. For the most part, simple confiscation of most wealth would be enough. Billionaires could then be invited to join the working class. For egregious examples, trials could be done to see if they committed any seriously bad acts. For example, the Walton family paying its workers so low that they rely on food stamps at the expense of the taxpayers. Punishments could then be given based on the act. Really the format of the quiz is too simplistic to allow a nuanced answer.

It says in the start: the questions are what they are-they are propositions, one which are to be chosen without any deep thought about it!

Writers and artists are the creative minds that give ideas to the business person who use those ideas to invest in manufacturing plants. Therefore, they're all a cog in the wheel and equally important in society.

So I've got a question for you. Specifically in regards to how you answered the Public Broadcast versus how you answered Theaters and Museums, why do you think one is different than the other? All can be informative/educational and simultaneously entertaining. All support culture, bind people together over a shared experience. It gives people something to do that helps them reflect on various aspects of life that aren't the drudgery and grind of day to day affairs. Plus they all can encapsulate histories of various endeavors of the people of the world. They all broaden a persons perspective outside of what they might experience alone inside of their home, city, state and country. They're all public forums that are just delivered in different mediums. They all have overlap. I only ask because I don't think your answers didn't really do a great job of differentiating the two from each other.

According to 8values, I am a libertarian socialist, which I researched a while ago in regards to political labels, and I found it extremely difficult to dispute its definition (even though I'm certain there's a fair amount of bias in it). From the 9axes, I also found it extremely difficult to dispute my results, except one: federal vs. state/local. I found those questions to be difficult to answer. On the one hand, the federal government isn't necessarily the best choice for the best policies - one need only pay attention to US history and see how often it needs to be dragged kicking and screaming towards progress *cough* Civil Rights *cough.* On the other hand, state/local governments have mostly enacted laws that are aimed to defy progress *cough* Jim Crow *cough.* It listed me as favoring state/local over federal (by a narrow margin but still), and I don't think that it's necessarily the case for me.

Hello Kyle, really enjoy your content and have been watching for years. I am working on a graduate level degree in a psychological field that deals with psychological intervention in youth and wanted to address a couple of your reasoning for answers. 1) on the topic of spanking. Research is consistent with your position. Spanking in the home is highly correlated with increased aggression in response to conflict, increased internalizing issues (depression, anxiety, etc),increased relationship issues (maintaining relationships and increased domestic violence). It also is correlated with higher rates of lying and utilizing manipulation in relationships as the motivation is to avoid the spanking not stopping the behavior. Research strongly demonstrates that setting clear expectations and consequences decreases the target behaviors without the forementioned negative effects. 2) you should focus on happy things. This is highly dependent on personal factors. It is not good to ruminate on negative thoughts and positive things can temporarily increase your mood. However it does not address the negative cognitions if they are effecting your life in a significant way. If it is serious one of the most effective treatments is CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). This treatment works by examining your negative thoughts and reframing them into more positive cognitions. It is the most effective form of treatment indicating that avoiding the negative thoughts entirely is not effective in reducing them. Hope you are staying safe and healthy. Have a good one.

I remember taking this test not too long ago, and I immediately clicked "strongly disagree" when I read "Those who are able to work but refuse to work..." As someone who has lived with panic disorder for nearly a decade, being housebound for a majority of that time, one of the things I always wanted was to be able to take care of myself during that period of my life. I still suffer from anxiety, alongside a few other things, but I am very much grateful for the fact that I'm in a place in my life now where I can have true independence, and be well enough to work. That aside, I think the idea that we should "earn our living" by spending the majority of our lives working is a complete farce.

Just took the test, I am proud to say that I was even more left and libertarian than you are, I had -7.5 on economic and -7 on social.

Instead of asking "is it a waste of time to rehabilitate some criminals", ask yourself "am I comfortable with the state, run by the leaders we elect, having the power to decide whether it is a waste of time to rehabilitate some criminals". It's a question of power.

I was actually spanked pretty frequently as a kid, right up until I was about 11, I’m 19 now. It’s an odd thing. It normally hurt, even though it never left a mark, and it normally felt that the punishment was justified, and it was a great way to get me to fall in line and I think it might’ve made me a better kid for it. However, with all of that said, it left a negative impression on me as an adult. It created a fear complex. Any time I do ANYTHING wrong, my brain always sends up more chemical signals than it might for other people and I sometimes get really scared of punishment. Not because I think I’m going to get spanked, but because that’s just how my brain was wired. It’s created a complex where I beat myself up about EVERYTHING. It’s like the kid that goes “Don’t worry, I already did it to myself.” Except now I do it when I’m an adult. I appreciate that when a punishment was laid out that my dad would always follow through on it. I see misbehaved children today, and even at my young age, I understand why he did what he did. But it has caused significant damage to me mentally and psychologically. So overall guys, punish your kids when they do bad things, but take stuff away or send them to their room, or kill their wifi if they’re a little older. Please, don’t spank your kids.

Re: the importance of your work, as referenced in the artist question: I think what you do is exceedingly important. Looking at the structures you've helped build and looking back on the anti-war stances you've helped me reinforce, I think you've been a bigger force for positive change than you realize.

I'm pretty far left and I hate abstract art, cubism and brutalist architecture. No leftist should give an inch to the stupid rhetoric that this means you're fascist. These are all hyper modern hellscapes that are symbolic of the alienation under modern capitalism and are bad for one's mental health. Marx would have agreed.

@@ericthegreat7805 Well Marx would have been wrong. Research into aesthetic preferences has shown that the greatest predictor for aesthetic preferences, which includes the preference for abstract visual art, is exposure. If you have been exposed to abstract art you are more likely to enjoy it, regardless of your politics. Working in a gallery of modern art will not turn a socialist fascist.

I live in a major city and I am exposed to brutalism and modernist art every day and especially in winter it is extremely depressing. Whenever i was in a small town and on a farm i never feel that way. I dont mean that modern art makes you a fascist. I mean the cultural left thinks if you hate modern art and brutalism you love fascism because something something tradition. My point about marx was that he would have talked about how it reflects modern ideological concerns for efficiency over creativity.

Ive also seen studies that say exposure to natural environments improves mental health and productivity. You can make a study say whatever you want it to.

I agree marx was wrong aboit many thing i just mean it contradicts many Marxists who love brutalism and modern art just to own the right or whatever. Even the Soviet Union at one point avandoned it.

Question aurthority does not mean to not accept it. It means that you should question whether it is valid or not rather than just accepting it

Kyle can without fail make me smile

48:00 No Kyle, you're wrong. What you do *IS essential.* You act as the 4th estate is supposed to. You spread accurate and factual information that is often not divulged or touched on by most other news sources. Whether you're an "official" newspaper/news organization or not, you are a part of the 4th Estate, and without freedom of information, we may as well live completely in the dark. We could live in a "1984" scenario and never know it. The news is essential. *You* are essential. That's why it's so disgusting how dishonest the MSM act.

That was my first thought as well. But I can understand Kyle's point. Art and writing is not essential for survival of humanity. You can imagine a libertarian or authoritarian rule where only manufacturing and business are necessary. You need the business and the manufacturing for goods to even exist. Then again, you need writers and thinkers to craft a society that allows business and manufacturing to thrive. So I guess it's kind of like a chicken-or-egg question. In practice, you can't have either one without the other, so there should really be a neutral stance for this.

Kyle: From each according to their ability, to each according to their need? Eww, communism! Also Kyle: UBI is a good idea.

UBI isn’t communism, because it’s not controlling the means of production. It’s capitalism that doesn’t start at zero.

My point is that UBI is basically a way to guarantee to each according to their need... with market limitations.

Where you at, Kyle? You doing ok? I'm missing your perspective on the world. Hope to hear from you again soon.

I feel like Kyle is going through the same problem that I am (have?) with the spanking thing, where he can intellectually recognize that it's abuse but it is almost impossible to recognize that on an emotional level - you don't want to say that because your parent isn't a bad person but what's important to recognize is that you can do bad things sometimes and that doesn't make you a bad person.

Lmao this was almost identical to your other one from a few years ago, down to the explanations lmao

Someone else mentioned Kyle got slightly lefter and slightly authoritarian since then

from the instructions: Before taking the test: Please note that this isn’t a survey, and these aren’t questions. They’re propositions. To question the logic of individual ones that irritate you is to miss the point. Some propositions are extreme, and some are moderate. That’s how we can show you whether you lean towards extremism or moderation on the Compass. ***Your responses should not be overthought.*** Some of them are intentionally vague. Their purpose is to trigger reactions in the mind, measuring feelings and prejudices rather than detailed opinions on policy. ***emphasis*** added. I admit I made the same error as Kyle. my new result is a bit more (-5.38) libertarian than before, similar leftness (-2.88)...

I sat through the whole hour and enjoyed it

Hey dude. Not sure if you read the comments down here but I kind of have the impression from the tone of your voice in this video that you're feeling pretty down. Shit I don't blame you. But for what it's worth, your videos and your passion has really been an inspiration for me for the past few years. It's been incredible seeing how far you've come and I look forward to continuing to hear your insight on important issues for years to come. You do great, important work here man. Something our mainstream journalists seem to have forgotten how to do. Keep fighting the good fight my dude. I'll be here cheering you on and fighting along with you. Btw it turns out we graduated from the same college two years apart. Haha! So from one Gael to another, keep going man. You got this.

🥺 I will be at work I am essential in so many ways
