I’m sorry if I get a bit annoying with all my question asking and all.
But is this mr1001nights the youtube user everyone is talking about?
Most of his videos are…well…check it out.
Yes, that’s the one often referred to here.
He seems a nice guy, so I was wondering why he said that he was banned from Mises.Org forums in one of his videos I saw a long time back. He shouldn’t have been, unless we don’t tolerate open discussions with outsiders.
Additionally, I was bothered by how he wrote, “Please donate to support my work” on his user page. Jonathan M. F. Catalan, one of Mises website’s most regular contributors, also has a “Please donate to support my work” on his blog and he is a young penniless student. So Mr1001Nights is presumably also a penniless student…or a penniless adult. The latter seems more likely, when he has made a documentary and is regularly involved in anarchist organizations, so he is probably much older.
Yes, I know what they all might say, “Why should I make money off the capitalist system? What’s so great about making money?” But you know, when you have to live off donations to continue your day job, you perhaps indicate a lack of personal responsibility, which is a problem when you regularly speak of society’s responsibility.
I agree and disagree with that statement. The first person who comes to my mind is Stefan Molyneux. He had a job before Freedomain Radio, but he took the job of a stay-at-home dad so he can run the website/etc. and take care of his daughter while his wife works full-time, and I respect that a lot. We just don’t know the situation of the YouTube user.
