YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

We examine a new ordinance granting legal rights to stingless bees in the Peruvian Amazon and use it to unpack a deeper problem with how the word “rights” is used today. The conversation draws a sharp distinction between negative rights and positive rights, explores who bears responsibility when governments guarantee outcomes, and explains why expanding enforceable rights without limits leads to coercion, moral hazard, and ultimately higher costs for everyone.
