Lol, humans don't hunt with teeth. Our bodies are actually amazingly adapted for chasing, hunting and digesting animals.

Rich UK citizens threaten to fully move away from the UK if the UK requires them to pay taxes. Experience shows that few actually follow through on such threats. I have an idea for how make it even less likely they will resist taxation: require them to renounce their UK citizenship in order to avoid being liable for UK taxes. Then make it a crime for a non-citizen to fund or support …
I've known for a long time that RMS is an asshole. As I read his posts, I'm always surprised how giant that assholery is.
"Advocating freedom" for SJWs usually means shouting at people who use a word that you don't like.
Dude, where do you get these things? All the leftist gender ideologues are against the idea of hardwired psychological traits (a.k.a. biological essentialism). You can't have both.
All primates have heterosexuality and male/female dichotomy as a standard. Deal with it!
You are free to live your life as you wish, but don't force your beliefs on others, if they prefer different values or lifestyle.
So called heteronormativity and cisnormativity are deeply hardwired in our biology by evolutionary process. It's got nothing to do with taxes.
I'm in a few Simplex and Signal groups, they work nicely.
My to-do/to-read list is too long already, but you are welcome to summarize the key idea(s).
But I don't really trust anthropological studies, I feel like they rely on guesswork too much.
Anyway, the argument is clear: #Free #markets do work and we know the theory behind it - economic calculation and distributed decision making. We also see it in practice: That's how you, for example, got a supercomputer in your pocket. It's also the only moral way, because it's voluntary and peaceful. (Any alternative is by definition based on violence.)
That's basically it. Case closed.
Austrian econ specifically says that value is subjective, there is no prescribed theology or value system. Austrian method of study is praxeology, it's based on deductive logic - actual opposite of faith/religion. If you disagree with any Austrian conclusions, you are free to challenge their logic and provide your own arguments.
They don't deal with epistemic theory of truth.
Is it #voluntary or is it #coerced?
That is the basic question everyone should ask regarding every relationship - whether it's #business, #political or #personal one.
If you give someone #authority over you, you have no guarantee that it won't be misused against you. Even worse, it will attract people who do want to use it for their own benefit.
And no, designating power via #democratic #elections does not solve this problem - it just allows the #majority to rule over the #minority.
Well, I've read Friedman, Hazlitt, Hayek, Locke and others, and I can assure you that it's not true.
No, it's not. Where do you get these things?
They are not truths. 😅 (Most of them, anyway.)
Did your professor invent a new meaning for antisemitism, mr. "anti"-racist?
You are just as clueless as your antisemitism.
It was on YouTube. It was years ago just when it happened, do a search, it might still be there.
