Political correctness… language, actions, or policies intended and designed specifically not to offend or disadvantage any particular group of people in society. In today’s world, speaking can be a bit like walking on broken glass. Political correctness is determined for you by the social group you interact with and grow up around. And you can bet different social groups do not agree on what is and isn’t politically incorrect. In this episode, Teal provocatively claims that we should do away with political correctness and stand for authenticity instead.

December 9, 2015 at 11:19 AMOld arguments, great delivery. Tom's great to listen to, but he's preaching to the choir. We need to change who we're talking to. SJWs seem to be increasing in numbers.

December 9, 2015 at 1:19 PMUNFORTUNATELY THE LEFT ISN'T JUVENILE ITS A SPECIFIC GOAL TO FRAME THE DEBATE IN SUCH A SHALLOW UNTRUE WAY THAT YOU'RE OSTRACIZED FOR WANTING TO DISCUSS ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT THEY WISH TO DISCUSS:
THAT IS THE ONLY THING I'D ADD TO THE EXCELLENT PRESENTATION TOM WOODS JR. GAVE IN THIS VIDEO.
THIS IS WHY BEN CARSON IS GETTING HIS CHARACTER ASSASSINATED FOR CORRECTLY WARNING AMERICANS AGAINST ALLOWING MUSLIMS WHO AVOW THEIR FAITH (WHICH IS EVIL) ACCESS TO HIGH SEATS OF POLITICAL AND INSTITUTIONAL POWER.
BEN CARSON IS A GREAT MAN
AND TOM WOODS JR IS GREAT ALSO
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR VIDEOS
PLEASE CONSIDER READING AN ESSAY OF MINE (THOUGH WRITTEN ANON BUT I CAN EASILY PROVE IT WAS ME) THAT BRIEFLY OUTLINES THE IDEOLOGICAL ORIGINS OF 'POLITICAL CORRECTNESS' AND HOW A GROUP OF INTELLECTUALS WHO FOUNDED A MARXIST UNIVERSITY IN GERMANY NAMED 'THE FRANKFURT SCHOOL' ORGANIZED THEIR INSTITUTION AROUND THE GOAL OF DESTROYING WESTERN CIVILIZATION FROM WITHIN. IN SHORT THEY SUCCESSFULLY TOOK OVER SOME IMPORTANT ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS, EDUCATED YOUNG FRAGILE EGGSHELL MINDS (BABY BOOMER GENERATION) AND SPAWNED THE BEGINNING OF THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION BECAUSE THEY MERGED SOCIAL STUDIES WITH MARXIST DOCTRINE. BUT I DIGRESS READ IT ALL HERE LOVED ONES:

December 9, 2015 at 3:26 PMThomas Sowell is the one who got me interested in economics. He is such a great writer and thinker.
Nate Dawg says
December 9, 2015 at 3:46 PMAlways a pleasure to listen to the most articulate, concise, intelligent man in economic academia today.

December 9, 2015 at 3:57 PM33:19. In that context, I suggest the use of the term "cognitive instrument" instead of "analytical tools".
NFM333 says
December 9, 2015 at 4:15 PMi have a hard time saying all what i know to people that ask a simple question.. i want to be honest but some people seem like they aren't really interested in the whole truth.. i guess i predetermine what that kind of person can tolerate and then re spawned to them in a way they can understand without overwhelming these people. but this process takes a long time to get to know them and learn they behaviors then act out my ideas with a long spread out set of lines to help them ease into the subject. ive always had a hard time speaking my mind to anyone and even myself but ive noticed this and been trying to work on this even before i watched you video. thank you for sharing your thoughts ive always loved them.

December 9, 2015 at 4:34 PMI agree with everything Teal said on being Politically Incorrect and also the viewpoints of the other 561 commenters.
PPP says
December 9, 2015 at 5:21 PMThe only people I know who are referring to political correctness or incorrectness all the time, are people who intent to offend others and are looking for excuses in doing so. You can read a lot about being pc as a negative attribute on all racist forums. Racists/right wing supporters/homophobes are often using "political correctness" to insult people who don´t share their believes. Normal, decent people usually don´t have problems offending others and that´s because they aren´t assholes. You can be honest and respectful at the same time. And if I´m allowed to be honest here I´d like to say that I´m skeptical of spiritual gurus who claim to be aliens and who seem to have an answers to all the big questions of humanity/the universe, but I really liked your earlier videos. It seemed like you did your homework about new age and spiritualism and you have a good way of explaining certain concepts to people but this video just changed my mind.
Amanda Carson says
December 9, 2015 at 5:56 PMI am surprised that there are so many negative responses to this. I really don't see much anything to be upset about in this video!
De Loto says
December 9, 2015 at 5:56 PMI'm not politically correct, but I also have no desire to verbally abuse or offend people. I treat others respectfully because people deserve to be treated that way. It has nothing to do with my image to the outside world. I like to look in the mirror and see a person who is not only loving to herself, but also not spreading hate and negativity to others. Why would I even want to be a destructive force in other people's lives? I think that people who feel intense urges to dehumanize innocent people have some very serious personal issues.

December 9, 2015 at 6:02 PMOh no you didn't lol! Great video Teal love and light.

Keileigh Lighthouse says
December 9, 2015 at 7:14 PMHm, well, Idk rlly know what to say about this except that what anyone says about race and their stereotypes is meaningless to me. This is because I always know that to a degree, every single stereotype contains BS. However, I can't stand it when I meet ppl who have this hierarchy mindset – it's tiring to be on either end of the situation. From my experience, I separated from certain individuals because of my trust being abused.
vchervil says
December 9, 2015 at 7:20 PMthat's total bs.
Jared Knowlton says
December 9, 2015 at 8:18 PMYes…

Petrus Laredes says
December 9, 2015 at 9:31 PMTeal has also radically increased my level of respect for her, with this video. Before this video, while I've enjoyed watching her and at times found her genuinely insightful, I will admit that mentally she had been filed in the "aspirant New Age guru" category; especially when I noticed that she's started doing paid workshops. The Namaste abuse as an occasional signoff didn't do anything to dispel that impression either, I will confess. 😉
Yet with this video, Teal has made at least two positive accomplishments. The first is that she has demonstrated that she is willing to discuss topics that have genuine potential to harm her economic profitability, which in turn implies that she may truly have a level of authenticity which is greater than her desire for fiat currency. Given how often I've been betrayed in this area before, I hesitate to commit to real trust in her regarding it, but the signs so far are extremely positive. There is probably still time for you to go to the Dark Side, Teal; but apparently, at least it hasn't happened just yet. 😉
My second reason for congratulating Teal for this video, is that she has managed to discuss the issue without becoming genuinely uncivil. That is usually extremely difficult.
Petrus Laredes says
December 9, 2015 at 9:34 PMMy perspective is that anyone who cares about political correctness is usually mentally ill; and therefore their opinions do not concern me, because they aren't reflective of reality.
I am also deliberately almost completely cut off from mainstream society; and the reason why is because, aside from my belief that said society is pathological and misery inducing in almost every possible respect, I've recognised that the only real weapon that says society has against me, is the human need to belong to groups. If I deny that need, which I mostly do, then said society has no form of leverage over me.
The only reason why I need to care about what anyone else thinks, is if that person has something that I need. If they don't, then I can tell them to take a flying leap with zero practical consequences. Unless you're one of the very few people who I actually care about, then unless you have some concrete means of enforcement, I could not care less about your feelings. For me to have any other attitude, is to allow you to have power over me.
This is also why I refuse to become employed, even if it means I starve or otherwise die. I will not tell pretty lies in order to please others, for the sake of money.
