I'll be making some posts on philosophy, political science and economics here. Because... Well, because I do whatever the fuck I want...

My intent is to help level up the intellectual sphere around #Bitcoin, #Nostr and #Libertarianism in general, so join in and buckle up, mother fuckers, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

The great brazilian philosopher Olavo de Carvalho once said that the Catholic social and economic thought should engage in conversation with the austrian school, because both had much to gain from each other. In fact that is what I have been seeing in my studies, and this goes waaay beyond economics alone. But both spheres seem to be closed to each other, so we must construct a bridge. The catholics are in a crises right now, family problems, you know. And they are tending to slip now to socialism, now to fascism. There has been a difficulty in understanding the problem of the modern state, the financial system, and the globalists movements (more on these some other time) even though these are in complete opposition to Catholic traditional social teachings. This has sometimes pushed people away from bitcoin and the fight for freedom.

On the other hand, the average libertarian tends to indulge (knowingly or not) in the errors of modern philosophy. And modern philosophy has no shortage of civilization wrecking problems. For real. By embracing modernity, they tend to not see that some of their ideas are root causes of the current state of things in the first place.

And like this, we have two sides that can't manage to get their shit together because they don't want to enter in a serious intellectual dialogue in search of truth. Not only don't want to, but are not able to because of their closemindedness.

Side note, you non-brazilians should look up #OlavodeCarvalho. The man was a giant of our times. There is some content in english, but hell, maybe you can do your part and find ways to translate and publish more stuff.

Now if you'll excuse me, there are beers to be drank, for it is the friday night. See yall later, nosterers.
