An ideal to be strived for, people generally call reality and preferably has been stripped of subjective projections. very good question, let me try to make a good example (using a cliché ) You walk with your friend in the forest and he points down at the ground, asking: 'What's that?' you might (ask for clarification first,) then proceed by saying: - Those are two sticks. Do you know what I'm saying? or - That's two sticks in formation. The letter 'T' or 'L'. Are you familiar with them? or That's part of the forest. Did you mean that? and so on... but any and all of the above are preferable (if reality is aimed for) than saying: - Nothing is there. It's all a dream, but be careful it can turn into a hungry pink tiger with shorts and converse sneakers on. - It's a letter 'O' or 'Q' - I don't care. Stop asking 'silly' questions. I'm hungry. Sure, I answer those questions very often with 101% success. Very simple, really. It's 42. (jokingly, but respectfully, if interested, have a read of Douglas Adams - The hitchiker's guide to...) - - - - now, seriously while still being transparent - - - - This is the 'wrong question' in my humble, humble, very humble opinion. because that suggests.. I was NOT isolated prior. But I WAS isolated. More specifically I experienced for decades the soul sucking phenomena called 'proximity isolation'. i. e. - I chose myself various best friends in the past who when it suited them quite happily betrayed me not having qualms about their own morality. I can see all the red flags I had been waiving away, never once looking out properly for myself... and I also know where I learnt that, why I learnt new approaches and having chosen to reborn out of my ashes and seeking red-pills. Thanks, scientifc method, virtuous people shining a light on my way in the dark. I am working for your statement to mirror my current reality but I am not complaining with what I already have, knowing what I know. It's like : No more wax-fruits for me, I rather have a small but real sandwich instead and look for ways to find more. If I wasn't, surely eating all that wax would turn me into a mindless doll. If I was amongst people the opposite of virtuous? Yes, you could say that. Very much you could say that. In fact, that's why I love virtuous people so much. Involuntarily if I might add. Like my favourite colour. I love it, no two minds about it. What's more important if I'd go back to my previous place/state/scenarios/situation. Or if I would revisit it temporarily because, well, a little bit is ok I suppose. It won't hurt if I.. Honesty, after realising what those situations/people/dynamics were, and how it affected me... no way. It's not possible. Pushing through a square object through a circular hole. Thank reason & evidence it can't be done. Just as an expanded mind can't be shrunk back without damaging it. For that I'm ever grateful. I'm going to sound silly but I am being serious. Just wanted to warn you / clarify before you proceed. My answer is: Mainly by observing. Not doing much really, other than existing having virtues internalised and living it. Very important! Start with this. Forget everything else (don't think of an apple!) but seriously if you asked me to give you the top #1 best and ultimate guide to starting that's guaranteed to work for finding virtue(s). Develop your ability to distinguish between the presence and absence of virtue. That's it. Make sure you got that right or you won't get any further. Respectfully, Barnsley P.S : if you are thinking about asking How's that done? It might surprise you to realise that you are already doing it. Can you guess what do I mean?

Ignorance is not bliss. It is imprisonment and repetition. If I hadn't started listening to this show I would most likely have followed the life of Bill Clinton or John F. Kennedy (especially in the bad ways). FDR in many ways is a Godsend to me. Sure it makes me distant from most people but I was never a social person to begin with. I have always been fairly cynical and am now less so. I am more happy and optimistic post-nlightenment then before when the matrix was shredding my brain apart. All in all I love and value FDR, Stefan-senpai, Mike the guy who does lots of research and occasionally steps in, and all the red-pilling it has to offer. Also given the fact Stefpai's channel has like 700,000 subscribers, 50-100,000 regular listeners, and who knows how many listeners elsewhere, I think the popularity is pretty damn high given 100 years ago he'd be lucky to get a few hundred people (unless he goes the sophist route and get what Hitler called a big crowd--4,000). Thanks to the Internet and his verbal genius, he's able to spread philosophy and salvation in ways Jesus Christ would have died twice for! Enough about me, where is all this coming from? Sure red-pilling makes people feel queasy at first but at some point you have to harness the information and make it productive and personally gratifying.

Full disclosure: I'm an ex-vaxxer. You didn't say what vaccine. That is important. Once you know, go to the CDC and FDA websites where you will find product inserts (FDA website) listing all of the associatied side effects and contraindications and the VIS (CDC website). You can ask your doctor but he or she is unlikely to have the product inserts. The nursing staff will not have them readily available either. However, I do recommend asking them if they have them. A secondary question might be to ask if they have ever read one. The VIS is different. They should have the VIS. That is the Vaccine Information Sheet. It contains a much briefer list of possible side effects and contraindications. On the back is the contact information for the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). the VIS is required by law to be handed to patients. I've included a sample VIS and product insert for TD below. Here is a sample VIS from CDC: TD (Tetanus and Diptheria) Here is the link to the generic vaccine manufacturer insert: Manufacturer insert (required) TD (generic) Another question you might ask the doctor and the nurse is what they learned in medical/nursing school about vaccines. If they are truthful, they will tell you they were handed the vaccine schedule and given instructions on how to handle the vials of vaccine and how to administer the shots. Get both of the above documents for the vaccine you are considering. Read them. Ask questions of your medical professionals. If they brush you off, my recommendation is to find another. If they tell you they will no longer see you as a patient if you refuse a vaccine, get another physician. You should always have choice without threat. Vaccines are like any other pharmaceutical product, some people have really, really bad reactions. And you never know until after the deed is done which you will be and there is no taking it back. It's much like Russian Roulette. Educate yourself and then make an INFORMED decision. Good luck.

Educate yourself.

Also by @Wuzzums logic every Trump supporter would be an SJW and Trump would be the ultimate SJW because he keeps talking about jobs. Could you imagine if he campaigned and told everyone who lost their factory jobs that they were all being entitled snowflakes and it was their fault they didn't have a job. I'm pretty sure he'd lose the election.

You claimed that "all these phrases show" a lack of taking responsibility, when the topic of the OP is problems created by the government. Your replies to him have nothing to do with the topic. I'm not saying that he's without fault, I'm saying we don't know that. He may very well post about it in the future, if that's what your interested in talking about.

His personal anecdote provides context. He wasn't asking for advice. You quoted him providing context to the central question of the OP: "My question to Libertarians is that if you guys actually believe unemployed people who are actually diligently searching for jobs and who are not in a good position because of circumstances that happened by birth should be left to starve?" This has nothing to do with proving how helpless he is, a claim he never made. My take from the conversation is you feel insulted that he didn't just sit there and take condescension from you; the audacity!
