I think I just got banned from Twitter . . . again.

On September 13, 2018, I began my ketogenic journey. I was at the end of my metabolic rope and keto was my last ditch effort to save myself from a poor diet, poor health and from myself. I honestly didn't care if I lived past the age of 50 because every day was full of depression, inflammation and exhaustion and I was tired of all of it.

Here I am 6.5 years and nearly 1200 steaks later, with over 1500 miles of running, a marathon, 15 half marathons, 3 years in the gym behind me, a completely different person that I can barely recognize in the mirror.

Life-changing just doesn't quite cover how big an impact that choice back in 2018 has meant to me. Soul-changing is more like it.

There is no destination on a meat-based diet. There is only the journey.

Hawktaushi after rugging her coin in 2024: I'm tired, I'm going to bed now and I'm moving on to other things

The other things:

How to define and defend property rights of the public (negative externalities of individual contracts) in a libertarian society?

I hear X coiners are angry about nostr? What are they angry about? That we’re having fun and they’re having fun being enslaved? 🤣

Welcome!

Agree. However, even by that principle, would a central authority not arise to establish and defend property rights?

Libertarianism is the ideal on a theoretical level. It is what society should strive towards: maximum freedom for the individual with minimal government meddling.

The problem is that this form of rule only works in a civilization that is high-trust and highly aligned in its values.

You wouldn’t try to implement libertarianism in a place like Somalia. Nor would you try to revive El Salvador by being *more* lenient on criminals.

A certain amount of central authority is needed to maintain order, and thus create the conditions wherein peaceful, productive citizens may flourish and exercise their liberties.

While authoritarianism can certainly go too far, as we saw during COVID, a middle way is possible. England under British Common Law, and the USA in the gilded era, are excellent examples.

do you think he’s actually just stupid or is it malice?

Broke my streak of posting this everyday but need to post this now before we’re at 100k (maybe tomorrow)
