https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08OaVf00zdM&pp=ygUQIm1pbmltYWwgcmVhc29uIg%3D%3D 21:24 : equal, natural (born) freedom (potential) with e. n. powers to obtain e. n. needs revealed to us by n. passions for our needs.

23:47 About determining between artificial needs and natural needs: "when it comes to staying alive"

25:40 "certain powers to obtain those natural needs"

27:35 "roughly equal"

27:55 "When it comes to living his natural life, no human being is superior or inferior to any other adult human being of using those powers to obtain it's needs."

29:03 "You are your own natural ruler."

31:10 King George has no right to rule us, if we do not think that this rule is in our good.

32:22 First comes the right to life, then comes liberty to preserve that right and then the right to equipment for happiness it takes as a means to liberty to preserve that life.

32:52 "they aren't secured without government"

34:14 "natural need for comfort and safety"

34:25 "artificial thing called a house"

Between: Lesson is that government is artificial.

35:15 3 insecurities of natural rights"other human beings"

37:01 nature itself

38:01 ourselves

39:19 "that doesn't new that in enjoyment or security, we're all equal"

40:52 "the main stuff of government is power, as Willston? says in Chapter 1"

41:30 To secure natural rights, people limit their powers to create a common pool.

41:35 So the government 's power is the people's leftover power, that they gave up in order to secure ourselves through government.

42:04 The government is a common tool for what we can't do individually.

42:46 Two ways for a government to come into being: Terror or consent.

43:19 Reason means: We make decisions in our life by thinking it through.

43:50 That willing of you giving up of your absolute freedom is consent.

44:54 uses your rational reason to construct the government

45:10 Declaration's last statement: When the government becomes too destructive of those rights, ... the people have the right to alter it and abolish it.

45:59 We have to give up freedom, to secure freedom.

48:34 How much power should government have?

Positive-/Negative Liberty: http://web.archive.org/web/20240721144646/https://contemporarythinkers.org/isaiah-berlin/introduction/ : Isaiah Berlin: Isaiah Berlin thinks positive freedom "to" came before negative freedom "from". Positive freedom coming from Classical Greece and Republican Rome means being able to govern themselves, or at least, be directly involved in their authority's rule-making. Isaiah Berlin is the hedgehog (one single version) who thinks he's a fox (many versions) and Leo Tolstoy is reverse.
