ON FB FRIENDS
Friends keep increasing but the demographic is different.
I’m continuing to drop the old employees that I have nothing in common with. Its not like I’m going to get back into the agency or consulting business any time soon. I have the freedom to express myself now that I didn’t have as an American CEO. And while the technology business is a bit libertarian, the agency business is almost entirely socialist.
I did manage to piss off a few people with Buddhist Interest with a few of my sketches. I guess if I want to promote scientifically based morality that I’m an equal opportunity offender. I try not to actually get into religion where it’s arational but still consequentially positive for economic cooperation. I try only to attack religious ideas that are IRRATIONAL and consequentially negative for economic cooperation. But I still manage to dig a hole.
the entirely sentimental libertarians that I seem to offend now and then, well, I ‘m sorry but I’m kind of happy to offend them. I am OK with every religion doing it’s thing, but libertarianism is a pretty weak religion if that’s how you approach it. But some people take it as sacred and when I slay libertarian sacred cows now and then, I expect to lose people.
Women friends are interesting because I actually value their criticism pretty seriously for reasons that are too difficult to go into here. If the canary makes noise I know that I’ve done something wrong. If I say the truth and the truth is what it is, it should be disturbing, but still obvious that it’s true, and that it’s not my fault that it’s true. It’s true that marriage isn’t very good for a lot of women, and its probably disproportionately more satisfying for men. However, our economies depend on marriage and the nuclear family for our political institutions that govern by majority rule, to operate as designed and intended. And redistribution only can function if it’s not from married people to unmarried people and that’s what’s happening. Class is one thing. But if class means married and unmarried that’s going to have pretty serious consequences.
But the number slowly grows.
I can’t imagine there are more than a few hundred people out there that are really interested in libertarian philosophy at any level of detail.
I can’t imagine that there are that many out there who understand that we need a reformation of libertarianism.
I can’t imagine that there are all that many who could understand the argument and solution (although that is what I try to do.)
So I don’t particularly seek numbers, I seek a certain class of individual who is interested in the detail, the reformation, and the solution.
