INTERESTING THOUGHT ON THE FUTURE

We know that the vast majority of people rebel against operational language, science, liberty, property rights, risks to their identity and status. We know, as my friend Adam Voight keeps reminding me, that meritocracy is painful for those who can’t or dont’ desire to compete in it. And that they need a way out.

Now, if property rights basically forbid free riding and rent seeking, and forbid illusions about our value to others. If propertarian and praxeological language forbid or ability to steal by political means. If Science and naturalistic philosophy forbid our ability to lie to ourselves to seek comfort. If even MORE property is transferred from material to abstract objects, thereby prohibiting theft. If governments can see into every aspect of our lives, and forbid us our vents. IF rather than just prevent the vent of violence. What if governments prevent the vent of self deception? If.. they cause us to confront reality, absent all the comforting lies we tell each other?

I can’t believe that this state of affairs is possible. I only believe that the government bureaucracy will profit from trying to MAKE it possible.

And I think I know what that means.

It is an interesting way to look at what a polity will tolerate.
