What does David Harbour say about families being selfish in a capitalist world?
you like get a family, you get a house, and you like sort of that's your castle and those are your people and it's like f the rest of the world or like we protect the what's ours and the there's a very sort of capitalist, you know, mindset to this ideology. And I Okay, we have another Silverspoon, Hollywood celebrity criticizing capitalism. Even though capitalism loves them, and I have proof, let's talk about it.
Yeah you better. Oh yeah.
Guys, before we get into today's video, please consider liking and subscribing. Today we're gonna be talking about David Arbor of Stranger Things Fame. He's going viral for a podcast clip that is now circulating where he talks about his I guess criticism of the nuclear family and of the capitalist mindset that exists in today's day and age. We're gonna see if we can understand our way through this and maybe respond. Everything that I know about David Arbor, by the way, I've learned against my will. Not an attack on you, David. I'm just saying. Okay. I don't know.
How does the host explain the historical human desire for family versus solitude?
I don't know if it's the world or if it's our culture, something where it's just very binary that like you're either alone and you're kinda like a weird bachelor or spincer or whatever that I think is a throwback from you know, the olden days, or you like get a family, you get a house and you like sort of that's your castle and those are your people and it's like f the rest of the world or like we I don't know. Uh it seems like what he's saying so far is just the human experience, and it's a part of the human experience that predates capitalism. As far as I'm aware, humans for all of life have asked themselves, are they going to end up with a a mate, as they would have said, you know, a long time ago, and a family, or will they be alone?
And of course, when we say alone, it doesn't mean that you're just like some bachelor wandering around or an old spinster who's sitting and knitting or something like that. It's just to say that you don't have a partner that you've built a family with. You can have friends. And community and all these different things, and still be alone to a certain extent. So I'm not sure what he's talking about when he says that there's just a simple binary that exists in society these days. And again, what that has to do with capitalism, I also don't know. And this premise that when you have a family, it's just like F the rest of the world. I don't know that that's true. I think having a family makes you care about families.
And creates a sense of community around you. For those of you that want it.
Why does the host argue that caring for a family isn’t opposed to capitalism?
Now, of course, there are people who settle down and find their person and create children and then go, okay, I only care about this particular group of people. What's wrong with that? What's wrong with that choice? I'm not sure. But apparently it's part of a capitalist mindset. What's ours and move on. There's a very sort of capitalist, you know, mindset to this ideology. And I think there's something about the communal uh living in America that I think we all kind of long for. Not uh not not like a commune, but like more like the idea of like um, you know, friendship and common ground and supporting each other and taking care of each other as opposed to just these family structures, these nuclear. I
am just very confused as to what any of this has to do with Capitalism in this argument that he's making. And funnily enough, there's uh this meme underneath this that says uh complaints about capitalism, you take the mask off, and it's just complaints about the human condition. Of course, we can want friends and family and community. Is that antithetical to capitalism? I think one could argue that capitalism gives you the freedom to want those things, to desire those things, and to chase after those things.
What is the “budget unconscious” designer phrase and how does it relate to Harbour’s $8 million home?
It's a freedom. That David Arbor himself enjoys, as he's most certainly a capitalist, or at the very least, somebody who has benefited greatly from capitalism. You give him a quick search on the internet, let's say on a platform like YouTube, and you will find his architectural digest with Lily Allen, his now previous wife.
