And so I think it's important, not just as a matter of pride,
But as a matter of the national project, as a matter of making America great again, as a matter of putting America first, I think you have to do stuff like that.
You know, also in history, part of what great nations do that defines them as great is they go out and conquer places.
They just go, Alexander, Rome, you just go, you take a lot of territory.
Certainly the Muslims did that as they were really growing.
You just take territory and you kill people.
And that's something that defines you as a great country.
And so going to the moon,
is a less bloody way of doing that.
Unless we get there, we do find the aliens and we just, you know, slice them all in half.
which would be pretty cool, actually, especially if they're demons.
Anyway, I'm sorry, I'm getting off track.
Yes, it's great.
You have to do great things together.
You don't want to fall into the trap of just diminishing everything.
Essentially, the problem with libertarianism is that libertarianism is centered entirely around the individual person.
It's all about man.
And because it takes this bad anthropology, this notion that man comes first, that we're self-created beings, that everything's about us, that we own ourselves, that we can do whatever we want.
We should have neutrality in our viewpoints.
It's all just about individual autonomy.
