On the whole, I agree with Stephen that most people are empty-headed aggregates floating around in the community like a cork on the ocean. :-) ..Ignorance seems to have no limits ..

2:00:45 ”You know the vast majority of people are empty headed ballast floating on society like a cork on a ocean. You know, they´ve done studies where they ask people. They say: “Do you support the repeal of the 1975 family emergency act?” And almost half of the population will give big detail reasons about why they support or don’t support the repeal of the 1975 family emergency act. The only problem of course is that there is no such thing as the 1975 family emergency act. Most people will make up astounding amounts of bullshit with a completely straight face. To prove or disprove things that they have absolutely no idea about what so ever. You go to people who are democrats and you say “The republicans support the repeal of the 1975 emergency act” and the republicans //democrats?// say is “ We should keep it, it´s terrible!” Just because they hear that the republicans support its repeal. “It´s terrible what the republicans want to do”, right?
They have no weight in the world; they have no existents in the future. They are literally like ghosts in the physics of the world. I mean they´ll pass-through, they will reproduce, they will talk about the weather with some people and they will mow their lawn. And they’ll consume resources. But in any foundational cultural way, they simply do not exist. Now that’s about half the population as a whole, based on a wide varieties of studies. Now other people have convictions but will bow to the slightest pressure. In other words, somebody who is direct, somebody who is confident. Somebody who is assertive or forceful without being abusive will drag them along like a net after a fishing boat. They´ll just get caught up and they´ll be dragged along. This is why it´s really dam important, because we never know when some completely evil demagogue is going to arise and drag both the completely ghostlike and the soup bubbles in the wind of general opinion as just gonna come along and the forces of virology or herpetology personality is just gonna sweep all over the cliff of evil. I mean we are not more than a Hitler and a half away from that kind of.. right? This is why it´s really important for good people to stand the hell up., and say what is right as forcefully, as clearly as engagingly as possible because you never know when that demon is going to arrive. You know, he could be in his diapers right now.” - Stefan Molyneux
2:04:55 “The majority of people will apply lethal electricity to a simulated victim because somebody in a lab coat tells them to. We are not surrounded by statist we are surrounded by people who find it more convenient to be statist then to not be statist. And reasoning isn´t gonna change their mind very much because there is no capacity to reason. And so way you simply make it more uncomfortable to be a statist than not to be a statist.” - Stefan Molyneux
2:05:42 “Most people will have no adherence to reason and evidence whatsoever. They simple go of social conventions. This is why I say, sorry you gotta make people uncomfortable if you want to change the world. Because most people will only change their minds and ethics because it´s uncomfortable for them to stay where they are.” - Stefan Molyneux
