This concept is Physicist approved
No, I think discrimination is perfectly fine. There's so much rhetoric in certain circles that discrimination is essentially antihuman, though I suspect these people have a lack of introspection in their life. Hesitate to use the term, but NPCs who follow a trend to fit in.
I know there have been Theocracies and Christian Monarchs but they inherently go against the wishes of their faith. The power concentration had corrupted their decision making, which requires a decentralization of power. If I wanted a Christian Theocracy, all I need is to look at the Ottoman Empire.
Straight up Anarchy needs the acknowledgement of Private Property, since Capitalism is the most prolific source of human prosperity in existence. As long as Private Property is secured, free markets will emerge and wealth will be produced through an increase of innovation/efficiency over time.
I still need to refine my thinking on this. My understanding is that Anarcho-Capitalism and its Ethical implications tie closely with the Christian ethic.
Politics have always been influenced by religion/ethics. Politics being the practice of what ought entities do in the face of scarcity.
Any other Political System doesn't give the freedom of association, citizens cannot opt out unless its an AnCap situation.
I saw that if someone prescribed to just being an AnCap, they'd run into the problem of Moral Relativism. There is no particular reason other than they think respecting an individual's Private Property is preferable and should be secured by decentralized violent entities, whether its the individual or private security firms.
Why should we respect other people's private property and not coerce others? Because every human is a creation of God in his image, given the Freedom to Sin and disobey his wishes.
I say this, probably triggering Christians in the process. Even if an action is immoral, does not mean it should be illegal.
Its essentially defining which social problems require intervention through violence as opposed to cultural/economic change. People have the right to defend themselves but not to steal the things of other people.
Keith Knight addresses some of the motives and context around suicide bombers and terrorism in general. He did this while responding to Yaron Brook's criticisms of Libertarians and the stances of popular Libertarians on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
The part I'm referring to starts at 12:55. He goes over a book that states most suicide bombers are secular communists, among other things.
Here is the video if you're interested
Its an older video, but people are starting to notice. Price increases due to inflation is stealing from those who hold dollars.
I like seeing more videos like this, people need to see what is going on
I mostly know books, but one website is https://casebitcoin.com/
Believe we're in agreement when it comes to the epistemology, since at best we'd only be able to access a small fraction of Truth overall.
Though even if our perception/interpretation of Beauty is limited and selective, it does not negate the possibility for an objective Beauty
Guess its the difference between the material and immaterial, I see Beauty as immaterial. So like with Maths, just because there isn't a perfect right triangle in nature and it can't be drawn, doesn't mean its not 'real'
Hopefully this is on topic, I do appreciate the discussion. Will have to think about it.
Do you have any book recommendation for the concept you're trying to communicate?
Thats where the liberty movement needs to approach from multiple fronts, such as in Pop Culture and Education, in addition to Political efforts.
I wouldn't discourage people from attempting direct political change, but it seems more productive to have private schools or media companies to spread the philosophy.
100% agree, interesting to try and have a discussion with people on how your own body and labor is considered "Private Property"
Welcome to the Resistance
Yes, large armed conflicts can only be bankrolled by fractional reserve banking and the debasement of currencies. Rarely do citizens have the desire to go to war.
Look at the Roman Empire, Ottoman Empire, British Empire. They all went downhill once they started spending more than they produced (i.e. coin debasement)
There is always a chance my friend, Argentina just got rid of Income tax and Sales tax because they're afraid of Javier Milei
Us AnCap / Voluntarists have to focus on local community, since its a lot easier to communicate the importance of individual liberty to the individual
I emphasize Private Property only due to the concepts in the book "Boundaries of Order: Private Property as a Social System" and the importance of Private Property in Economic development.
I'd agree its not an ideal society but its an ideal governance. Economic thinking is reflected not just in financial domains, but in social domains.
Gresham's Law and Thiels' Law help with the thinking.
Price out unvaluable behavior patterns by making valuable behavior patters more easily accessible.
Building up small business, with hard money and deregulation of Labor Markets, will make immoral occupations and businesses unthinkable to participate in
I need to learn more on Christian Theology, though its based on God giving humans the Freedom to err.
Securing Private Property, voluntarism, and not equating immorality with illegality
Its immoral to abuse drugs or prostitute yourself, and I'd do my best to reduce that in my community, though that is not a matter for violence to solve. Those activities are non-coercive market actions.
Banning something will bring it into the Grey/Black markets
I'm probably missing something in your reasoning. I'm of the understanding that there is only one Truth and Beauty reveals Truth to the observer.
So if Beauty = Truth, I stop for a moment when thinking the creation of a lie results in the revealing of Truth.
Is it really a lie if the observer looks at a portrait or landscape and knows they're not looking at the actual person or looking at a field?
I'm trying to process what you're throwing out there
The 'Red Market' that commonly gets overemphasized when pop culture discusses Black markets. Good people in Black Markets will disincentivize the Red Market
Its unfortunate when people dismiss Philosophy and Theology because its 'useless'
Vast majority of the world is caught up in the rat race that the central controllers want them to be in.
"Don't concern yourself with Economics or Ethics"
"Keep on enjoying your Bread and Circuses'
To be fair, Theology and Economic Philosophy were tied together for a large part of human history. Don't think they separated until the Enlightenment period. I'm convinced Anarcho-Capitalism is the most Christian form of Governance so far.
Sometimes it gets difficult to follow since he uses the Post Modern rhetoric to explain their tools. The class struggle concept was cleared up to me once I learned Mises' Polylogism.
The idea that there is no such thing as absolute truth, but class truth.
Proletariat Truth and Bourgeoise Truth
White Truth and Asian Truth
Man Truth and Woman Truth
People who believe in Polylogism cannot be reasoned with because they can say, "This is MY Truth" and dismiss your perspective due to belonging in the 'wrong group'
Funny to think, since Polylogism is probably the reason for TRUE Racism or Sexism
