"And your head is full of rats
you bought the shares in this farce" Bersuit
Common sense, morality and wisdom rest upon the ignorant and the wise. Intellectuals - as bad reason or trust people who understand evil - are the way to barbarism.
"... in the name of reason - and also other fundamental values \u200b\u200bthat are indispensable to civilized society, morally soar to mediocrity and induce the people to get carried away by their primitive instincts "Hayek
Under the influence of Descartes , modern rationalism not only discards the moral legacy, but he does not hesitate even to say that reason is able to create a new legal order and even a new language. Although such claims are entirely without foundation, have influenced current scientific thinking and in our writers, artists and intellectuals. The Cartesian dualism (theory that supports two conflicting principles irreducible to each other) opened the door to relativism and pragmatism first modern later.
was Another influential thinker Jean-Jacques Rousseau , despite romantic improper and followed in the footsteps of Descartes and had great influence on the thought "progressive" modern.
In The Social Contract says "Man is born free, but everywhere is in chains " in his attempt to free man from the heavy moral standards, transformed the hitherto had been considered the prototype of the wild , a hero of the intellectual class.
By stating that the animal instinct of man is capable of ordering human behavior more efficiently than the inherited moral or reason same. Establishing this way the idea of \u200b\u200b "General Will" by which man gives up his individuality, forming with the rest of the people a " single entity, a single unit staff," giving life to the abstract state , Nation and Fatherland, led by an alleged "common good" that is sanctified as the absolute power of moral climax.
In this way Rousseau does not know the ideological justification for individual rights and property rights and transforming man into a slave in the service of the Tyrant Patriot. (Adam Ferguson in 1767 defined the wild as someone who had not come to know the property.) This strategy
Rousseau influenced over the next two centuries in Western intellectuals, who see this strategy possible soar in power, behind the figure of the Platonic philosopher-king.
From this point, Pat Rousseau gave a social scientist, giving free rein to break free from inherited moral standards, encouraging even called "liberation" of this special way to infringe freedom.
The word will release from there, a new meaning, which would be exploited by all revolutionary and authoritarian regimes of the twentieth century, reaching its effects to the guardians of tradition - The church - with the liberation theology in Latin America.
Rousseau's ideas confused the men of the Revolution of May by Mariano Moreno, who dragged this influence to the press today.
The idea of \u200b\u200bthe noble savage become a hero of the intellectual class generated by the Geneva also affected our writers, and the prototype of the gaucho vague and thief were idealized in works such as Martin Fierro while the entrepreneur reviled in job creation , wealth and welfare as the negative aspect of civilization.
The consequences of the enormous influence of Rousseau's moral relativism, we can observe in backwardness, poverty and over one hundred and thirty million dead who were only in the twentieth century, and listen synthesized in the stanzas of tango "Siglo XX Cambalache" of Discepolín.

"Sigmund Freud was probably the biggest destroyer of culture" FA Hayek
In the film "15 Minutes" a Russian criminal arrives in U.S. and says: "That great western, nobody here is responsible for making" thereupon committed the most atrocious crimes, the films, sells the TV and then made the fool. Conclusion: millionaire and free.
The other side of individual freedom responsibility.
Freud's main objection is the denial of individual responsibility and this undermines the foundations of individual liberty.
Freud in his "Introduction to Psychoanalysis" refers to "the illusion of psychic freedom" which endorses the blame for whatever happens to "society" - or others outside the subject in question -.
Freud's work manages to look the other responsible for the irresponsibility of the individual.
The criminal is a " ill and therefore should be treated but never punished." This has got to liberate man from all liability, is that The arsonist is a pyromaniac, kleptomaniac is a thief, murderer suffering from temporary insanity or violent emotion. To commit a crime, just get high enough to make be declared innocent.
maniac For This way any ignorant, any worthless moron who commits a hideous crime, get us cries of sympathy and get an army of defenders humanitarian.
accepted that it is a cruel injustice to convict someone just because he is weak or small. However, this is the moral atmosphere of our century, the century of relativism, mediocrity and pragmatism.
With the Enlightenment, the growing enthusiasm in science, reinforces the confidence in reason. The reason becomes synonymous with the truth, is transformed into a new faith, which was weakening the moral legacy.
According to the teachings of Freud " compliance with moral standards only leads to neurosis" . On the other hand, must " discarded the principle of natural and original faculty, capable of distinguishing right from wrong" .
also argues that the prohibition of incest constitutes "mutilation more bloody, perhaps, that has won every time the erotic life of human beings" (Oedipus Complex).
These and many other mistakes have contributed to the weakening of the moral legacy. Popper asked
very careful to remove an individual responsibility - and especially young people - because, by taking away their responsibility, perhaps you're taking away the meaning of life.
channeled responsibility at work gives meaning to life.
"I think our time humanity will look basically like a superstition connected with the name of Freud" FA Hayek.

The Economicracia and John Maynard Keynes
Perhaps one of the greatest contributions economists have made to mankind in the twentieth century is the factual demonstration that the command economy extensive intervention by the state is counterproductive.
Countries created a Ministry of Economy for this purpose saw their economies succumb. Argentina is the clearest example.
While that kept the state away from natural tendency of men to intervene in the economy recorded the highest growth rates.
Although the experience is overwhelming in this regard the human mind requires a controller for managing a complex and spontaneous order.
Therefore it is necessary to limit and constrain human nature, creating a moral principle to prevent the natural tendency on the part of interventionist government of the day.
"When you try to read a journal of economy these days, often one wonders if there will be inadvertently taken a Journal of chemical or hydraulic. The crucial issues in economics are so mathematically approachable as a love letter or Christmas celebration. After pseudo-mechanical aggregates are individual people, their thoughts, feelings and value judgments. Not surprisingly, the chain of humiliating defeats suffered by the prophecy econometric, what is striking is the refusal of the defeated to admit defeat and learn more modesty. Some people apparently believe that the main function of the economy is to prepare the domination of society by the "experts" in economics, statistics and planning, this is a situation which I describe as "economicracia" a horrible word for a horrible thing. " Wilhelm Röpke
Keynes, one of the most prominent and influential economists of the twentieth century was marked by their contempt for the moral legacy, was to satirize the "conventional wisdom" and assert himself as an "amoral" - in the literal sense the term -. He coined the phrase
"Eventually all dead" with which he did not mind showing the damage inflicted on the long-term moral schemes, what mattered to him was to please the short term, which coincided with what public opinion required at all times, the demands and attitudes demagogic election.
to the enormous influence of his General Theory, we owe the only global inflation and subsequent mass unemployment.
As if this were not enough, we owe to Keynes the creation of the federal revenue sharing and "solidarity" International Credit Organizations: The International Monetary Fund and World Bank institutions have only served to transfer resources from workers in rich areas, the rich and poor areas, condemning these to the scourge of corruption of its political leadership.
In this way Keynes has contributed to the Sovietization of countries with much more efficiency that have earned the communities themselves, and even unconsciously, helped to undermine the edifice of freedom. Total eventually all dead and today is no longer.

Marx defined "magic" made by a large order of human cooperation, as Capitalism. And he said, it could be defined as full respect for the law of property.
argued that capitalism would evolve into a new order that common denominator and that could be defined as the total elimination of Ownership.
This idea generated much excitement in the universities, assuming the same trend, which was recorded in the hard sciences and semi-hard, could also affect the field of law, opening the way to what is known as social rights .
Why this aversion to property rights? First, "the property was the result of theft" - using the invasions to neighboring - and as in the case of the chicken and the egg, it was not possible to identify an owner true original.
Second, in pre-industrial Europe land was the only source of wealth. The finiteness of the earth, generating the natural resentment - envy - to property, as land in the hands of a person depriving another of the same. The privately owned property contrasts with plural product of the industrial revolution.
Ortega y Gasset, in the prologue of the Revolt of the Masses, said " be - an intellectual - left is like being on the right, one of the countless ways that man can choose to be a jerk, both in effect, are forms of moral hemiplegia "
paradigms left and right are communism and national socialism respectively. In the first case the government uses and has the property de jure and de facto, while in the second, the government recognizes de jure the de facto property while using and dispose of it. Both views are mixed on the same aversion to the property and therefore individual rights.
"Why do we bother going to socialize banks and factories? We socialize with people. " Adolf Hitler
Who won World War II? These ideas achieved something like the victory in defeat Does this is not the plan carried out in Argentina by the Ministry of Education? Are these not the main intellectual leaders that obscure our universities?
Freud and Marx - Keynes and Rousseau and so many others - were very clear in claiming scientific status for his theories and based many of his conclusions on the authority of being "scientific." Once this point is assumed, the term "social science" becomes suspect.
Social scientists have, in fact, every effort to imitate the method of natural sciences, but its success has been extremely limited.
These intellectuals given more to the utopian dream that the discipline of rigorous analysis, permeated and dominated the University of the West, of superstitions during the twentieth century, managing to change our moral code and change our behavior.
Universities through the educational process managed to change the exo-somatic genetic material that are culture and traditions - changed the DNA of civilization - creating a new culture cloned armies of Barbarians fans of his new faith, service destruction of civilization. Today absorbed attend the gruesome spectacle generated by their idealized utopias.
" must reject the idea that the scientific habit increases the individual's mental capacity. Repeatedly experience contradicts the assumption that those who stand in the exercise of any scientific field, are able to deal more intelligently, the problems of ordinary life "Wilfred Trotter

Our stated: "Thy will, not mine." The moral right is not dependent on our will - for scientific enough - and our choice, can lead to infringements of the values \u200b\u200bwe were trying to defend.
