Just watched this talk.. absolutely great material. I wish he was a slightly better/more confident speaker, but I got over it.
For someone who is the farthest thing from libertarian, is there any more literature on the idea of big planning, deterministic optimism, etc in a libertarian framework? His examples of the US as optimistic and deterministic were all "centrally planned", and done through government, not individuals or groups of individuals (corps, ngos, etc). Or at least that's how I perceived it.
- scottjad 13y agoMaybe look at Mises on entrepreneurship or John Mackey (of Whole Foods) in Conscious Capitalism for deterministic optimism in libertarian framework. Perhaps "Atlas Shrugged" contrasts both indeterminite pessimism (the failing state and despair-filled question "Who's John Galt?") and the determinite optimism of engineers/makers and Galt's Gultch.
