CRITICIZING HALF BAKED LIBERTARIAN NONSENSE

(from elsewhere) (natural rights)

ACK!

Natural rights are those that we MUST GRANT EACH OTHER to live happily and prosperously together. They aren’t given by god, it’s just that because we evolved as we did, we NATURALLY TO GRANT THEM TO EACH OTHER. God in this sense, is evolution, the universe, or fate, depending upon your favorite analogy.

Natural rights are just property rights. And the property rights that we MUST grant one another.

Human rights, are AMBITIONS that states hold one another accountable for striving for.

Libertarians are too comfortable with half baked theories. Science is better than reason. And science uses evidence. Evidence is that morality is similar but varies by reproductive strategy (class and gender), reproductive organization (family structure) and the structure of production (economics).

Leave religion and justification to theology. We’re libertarians. We’re supposed to be the smart guys. Science, reason and falsification. Not morality, analogy and justification.
