Great speech. I particularly like how he describes that because resources are scarce, distribution of them can be either a political decision or an economic one (or more like that's the spectrum). Political allocation of resources is just not that good compared to economic allocation. We all want to live in a world where we can save the rhino through political allocation of resources, but we don't live in that world and the rhino is going extinct because of it. Economic allocation of resources is the solution. I try to extend this into the moral language that we tend to suppose with politics but not economics. What I mean is that people tend to think morals are enacted only through political processes (like voting for politicians), but I think morals are enacted through the economic process (like buying or not buying products from companies based on their practices)
