01:35 Article summary
02:59 Why this article is important for Reformed libertarians
04:12 Popular story about tradition vs Cambodia
06:55 We should evaluate and value tradition as a heuristic and as wisdom according to normative standards

12:37 "Autonomous self" statist-progressivist liberalism not an outgrowth of classical liberalism, contra (among others) Deneen and Koyzis

13:46 Property right and non-aggression is key. Libertarianism is not libertine-ism, and does not entail condoning or otherwise supporting immorality.
15:12 Libertarianism is also the key to religious liberty

16:03 Moral action must be free. Liberty is not the highest value, principle, or end in life as such. Rather, civil justice is the leading norm for civil governance, and so liberty (in the sense of non-aggression) as one's right is at issue.
18:28 Recap
19:40 Only by maintaining the non-aggression principle can we best promote a moral and overall flourishing society to God's glory
