A physical threat is usually in the moment and easy to identify. An intellectual threat may take months, years, or even decades to fully be made manifest. The source of a physical threat is readily apparent, and the victim understands that his well-being is in jeopardy. An intellectual threat is presented under the guise of moral legitimacy, and the victim willingly embraces ideas that undermine his well-being. A physical threat must be repelled through superior force. An intellectual threat must be repelled by superior ideas.

Justin and Pratik protect their clients by identifying and then exposing the fundamental premises underlying an intellectual threat. They defend the freedom of each individual to live as he chooses, so long as he respects the freedom of others to do the same. And they do so on both moral and practical grounds.

The post The Intellectual Bodyguards appeared first on JB Phillips.

Justin Walker and Pratik Shah are the owners of Justice Inc, a business in Houston that provides intellectual bodyguard services. Traditional bodyguards protect others from physical threats. Intellectual bodyguards protect others from intellectual threats–bad ideas.

Shortly after the COVID pandemic begins, Justice Inc finds itself embroiled in a battle against government officials in both the city and county governments. When the lockdowns destroy the economy, many lose their jobs and can no longer pay their housing costs. City and county officials respond by blaming landlords for the crisis their lockdowns created and enact “renters’ protections.” Housing activists, the media, and the general public support the measures.

Though they have no clients, Justice Inc leaps into the controversy to defend landlords and small business owners. They challenge the claims made by government officials and housing activists, as well as the moral premises underlying those claims, and embark on a campaign to change public opinion regarding “renters’ protections.”
