Somehow I think they could've gone to war without having over a thousand of their children raped. But there is no bottom to Jew conspiracy theories.

Opt in organization. It would be a system where markets were the primary governing force and economic cooperation maximized.

Insurance companies to cover myriad risks, private police / military to enforce property rights in instances where needed, private infrastructure, private education. There are examples of these things working.

Imagine an economy that was substantially more robust bc there was no government interference. No taxes, no red tape, no regulation creating massive imbalances and destroying incentives.

Then imagine keeping 100% of your increased earnings and putting that toward the things you need / want. It would be a major economic feedback loop and it would much more efficient for the individual.

Currently in the west, if you include inflation, people are losing >50% of their earnings to Government. Those taxes are completely misused by Government and are essentially a total loss - meaning we get very little if anything personally from our tax “contributions”.

Imagine a world where we all had at least 2x more capital and we could choose where / how to best spend it. You can allocate your capital better than anyone else can, especially governments. They waste the money they take from everyone bc its just flows in automatically and there is no recourse for their misallocations.

It doesn't, but I understand why it's happening.

It's easy for you to speak when it's not your daughter who's been tortured, killed and paraded naked through the streets of Palestine to the sound of the cheering crowds.

In this world I don’t can trust what I seen on my own.

I think that if small groups (eg city states) could reliably defend themselves against any sized nation state with some kind of asymmetric defense technology then anarchy could be a workable system. Opt in grass roots governance and open economies built on sound money. If tech keeps progressing it may be viable in a decade or two. It’s just not possible given current constrains.

There are always going to be problems in any human system but I think that the issues within liberal democracy super-nations are ultimately worse than they would be within opt-in anarchist city states. But it’s hypotheticals only until technology gives smaller groups asymmetric advantages.

Maybe Hamas should've thought of this before they performed their atrocities. But that's asking a bit much from a group that deliberately hides their military kit in civilian areas and underneath hospitals. They're probably happy this is happening, it makes for good propaganda.

Hamas cares about these children less than the Israelis do.

Anarchy would require that everyone have the utmost personal responsibility and respect for the rights of others. We don't live in that world. Like communism, it falls short of understanding human nature.

after 15 years for sure

never had that kind of ecperience

getting hard is easy with the right women

If you had children and didn't actively encourage them to try to learn piano....why? I've never met a dumb/untalented person who plays piano. If I have kids my first big purchase will be a piano.

sounds epic

how you feel when you get high?

Pfizer stock drops to 2014 levels, nature is healing

since i have basically eliminated sugars altogether except lactose i can say that the cholesterol is from the eggs, milk and beef i eat.

i am not concerned about the congestive type because i don't and never have consumed enough sugars to hardly even put on weight except for from alcohol, which is mostly malts.

I personally can't stand decaf. I roast & brew for a living and decaf is just very different, I've become accustomed to a distaste for it.

i had another short bout of biliary colic again this morning.

did some research, and olive oil and apple juice both seem to be regarded as helpful with reducing blood cholesterol levels and redissolving the chunks that form in the gall bladder.

so obviously, cooking popcorn with butter is out. i now have olive oil for this.

i know how solubility works and very often just a little bit of something can totally change things, even just drops, in some cases. olive oil (extra virgin) is one of the only seed oils that isn't poison, and has been in human diets for thousands of years. if it keeps me from having a cranky gall bladder then i'm in.
