Episode 91. What Are Individual Rights?
This episode explores the concept of individual rights and its distinction from welfare rights and collectivistic identity-based rights. Alex Ooley shares an article by Patrick Carroll and Dan Sanchez called, “What are Individual Rights?”
It discusses the philosophy of individual rights, drawing from John Locke's views on ownership rights. The incompatibility of positive and negative rights is examined, highlighting the limitations and violations of individual rights that come with welfare rights. The flaws of collectivistic identity-based rights movements are also explored. The benefits of upholding individual rights, including economic prosperity and harmonious relationships, are emphasized. The episode concludes by addressing the misuse of the term 'rights' and the need to rediscover the original Lockean paradigm of rights.
