oh, and can someone critique part 5?

Nice work, thanks for bringing it to the board.  Yes, I've been trying to work on Ed to move him off minarchism, but the intro and the basics are a good primer for the newbie.

oh, and can someone critique part 5?

First, the asthetics critique. In five and a few of the others, the music was too loud and he sounded like he was in a tin can. I say that only because I came really, really close to bailing because of it. As the content goes, it's great all the way up to the circle at the end and of course, the whole minarchism thing. Also, he didn't elaborate on exactly where he thinks society should be on that circle. I suspect this to be because if he had, his entire argument for the state would have fallen in on itself.

I thought the visuals were good, I also struggled with the audio - the mixing levels were bad.

My thoughts on part 5.

1) anarchy does not = bloody chaos, both private security organisations and law courts are possible. Example, the ancient Irish libertarian society http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZi45Mf6jYY.

2) The US constitution as a social contract has already been picked to pieces and is obviously a failure in limiting the state.

3) How one can pick to pieces the lack of principles in governmentalism and then conclude a small one is desireable makes no sense.
