Yes. If someone doesn't want to be here, why waste space and resources on them? It's their own decision, and would probably help the world in the end (there would be a higher percentage of happy, progressive people, so humanity could move forward faster).
He's saying that business owners couldn't do what they did without infrastructure and team work, which is the government's responsibility. It would be silly to say that you could have a business without roads, bridges, post offices, etc.
He's not saying that you can't succeed without a bunch of help from other people, making successful people seem like manipulative people who just got lucky- he's saying that you need collaboration with others in order to be successful, which is true. My dad created a successful small business and he got help from others and collaborated with others (and is still collaborating with others).
It's sort of like doing a Chem lab. Sure, you can get it done by yourself, but it will take a hell of a lot longer, you'll be unsure of your results, and will probably just get a B on it. Now if you're doing a Chem lab with two other people who are maybe more mathematically inclined and a bit more creative, you can get it done quicker, will be sure of your results because you were able to bounce your ideas off of each other (and maybe the one better at math did most of the conversions), and you'll get at least a 97 because each of you checked your answers individually and then compared them.
Also, the excerpt up there doesn't even include the part where he says, "The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don’t do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires"
So if everyone didn't actually watch the speech/ read the whole thing (I watched the video on youtube, because I was sure that people were taking it out of context), then a lot of this debate isn't very valid, because most of you don't have the full story.
I am probably a good person but I haven't taken the time to fill out my profile, so you'll never know! |
