    LIBERAL ARTS?

    Um…. My undergrad degree is in Fine Art (BFA in art history). All the business and engineering stuff is just to make money to consume and experience beautiful things. I had no intention of being a ‘starving artist’. Are you kidding? Poverty sucks.

    (Same for academia. Why On Earth Would You Do That? )

    Philosophy, Economics, History, Science VS Art and Literature.

    The first three are necessary to comprehend the last two. Otherwise, they’re just masturbatory entertainment under the guise of study.

    I must be doing something right if the old-guard-progressive-libertarians shy away. 🙂 ‘Cause they got ‘nuthin. That’s why.

    Thank you Vincent J. De Roeck for the multiple bits of insightful advice you gave me at PFS. In particular (a) on the church (b) on progressive libertarians.

    THE INSIDIOUS LOGIC OF PAUL KRUGMAN

    It is perfectly fine to overpay a corrupt government because it creates high paying salaries and consumption, despite not producing a good. But it is not perfectly fine to overpay healthcare workers for providing the best healthcare in the world in order to create consumption.

    Ostensibly we assume that its because he is a lying political hack.

    But the truth is, he is a racist who just hates white folk. And everything else is just a vehicle for his hatred.

    CONSERVATISM IS FAMILY-ISM

    Its not rocket science. Conservatives breed more and spend more on family. More time, more attention, more money, more land. THats why conservatives outbreed progressives. Selfishness is not a good evolutionary strategy. 🙂

    I don’t know what the difference is between you controlling your body and me controlling my money. Why is it ok for you to have control over my productivity if I can’t have control over your productivity? I mean, isn’t my productivity the equivalent of your reproductivity?

    “The error almost always linked to Kahneman’s attribute substitution: always reduce the problem to something easier to communicate, at the expense of transforming the meaning, Procrustean Bed style. “We underestimate randomness” turns into “It’s all random”.

    De-Americanize The World.

    As long as it means we pull our military out of all foreign land bases, then I’m all for it.

    We can’t get Europe to behave intelligently as long as we subsidize them. Enough coddling. The war was over a long time ago.
