It's odd, isn't it, just how personally inhumane so many alleged champions of mankind turn out to have
been?
Oh, they love mankind in the abstract. It's just people they hate.
Thus Karl Marx preached about what he thought would be a better world while treating the actual people in his life like garbage. Jean-Jacques Rousseau claimed to be so sorrowful about an earthquake in Lisbon, but didn't hesitate to abandon his own children to a foundling hospital.
They're deeply devoted to their abstraction. It's just the flesh-and-blood human beings they actually have some responsibility for whom they despise.
We look at cases like these and shake our heads.
But if we're being honest:
We libertarians can inadvertently do something similar.
We're so caught up fighting for liberty on behalf of strangers -- who much of the time don't even want it -- that we neglect getting our own houses in order and taking proper care of those people closest to us, ourselves included.
Let's make 2021 the year we got our own affairs in order and provided for ourselves for a change.
The great Aidan Booth and Steve Clayton are about to shut down their eCommerce training for another year.
One of my supporting listeners said this about it:
"Their program is the best, most comprehensive, most hands-on course I've taken. I learned a ton. I'd recommend it to anyone interested.
"By hands-on, I mean hands-on from both ends of the deal: They give you a ton of tools to actually put their training into action and a support community for mutual assistance, and they really take feedback into account and work it in to subsequent weeks' training. I still get emails a year later letting me know things have been updated. They bend over backwards."
Get a taste of what they have to offer, and check out exactly what they do and how they do it -- and the precise products that have been selling well -- in the replay of last night's workshop. It's designed for newbies, as you'll see.
The replay is coming down at midnight, though, so I hope you'll be able to make time to watch:
