    The purpose of religion is to construct norms (common property)

    If we were smart, church and state would collect separate taxed once again and church and state would return to their competitive positions. Each limiting the power of the other.

    We had it right prior to the enlightenment.

    HOPPE AS THE TURNING POINT FOR REACTIONARY THOUGHT – I DOUBT HE’D LIKE IT….

    …But I am pretty sure that’s how it will turn out. He will be remembered as the bridge between the failed libertine (Rothbardian) program, and the reactionary program. And If I am lucky (luck being all I can count on) then my work in Propertarianism, Aristocratic Egalitarianism, and Operationalism/Testimonial Truth, will be the transition from Reactionary rationalism to a fully ratio-scientific argument for liberty.

    PROGRESSIVES VS CONSERVATIVES – IRRESPONSIBILITY VS INCOMPETENCE.

    (I love how the socialists, progressives and the postmoderns have argued and transformed the language in favor of hedonism, and for irresponsibility for externalities; while conservatives argue for asceticism, stoicism and a prohibition on externalities, without having any idea that’s what they’re doing or why other than their moral intuitions.

    Everyone is talking past each other. Progressives are morally blind, and conservatives are rhetorically incompetent. Libertines are morally as bad or worse, and as morally blind as progressives.

    It’s no wonder we can’t resolve conflicts. )

    DRINKING AGE AND FIGHTING AGE?

    (worth repeating)

    In war you follow orders, destroy and kill, and are in the constant presence of others who can violently constrain you – even kill you.

    At home you have precisely the opposite conditions: you act on your own volition, are prohibited from almost every possible harm, you are in the presence of others who are by law limited in constraint of you.

    Liberty requires cognizance and alcohol and testosterone erase it. So no. Drinking at home, and fighting in war are very different environments. The two have nothing to do with one another as long as young males under the influence of alcohol continue to cause a disproportionate amount of damage.

    The question isn’t moral, and the environments are not commensurable. It’s empirical and the environments pose opposite conditions with opposite consequences.
