HARSH WORDS FOR DREAMERS
—“There is a belief popular amongst people who’ve never accomplished anything in life, the idea that one must merely dream or think of what he wants, which is almost always material in nature, and as if by some act of divine will his subjective wants and desires will materialize, with little to no effort expended on his part. Achievement isn’t an act of wishful thinking, only western millennials have had the privilege to maintain such illusions– it is an act of physically imposing one’s will onto the external world. Anything else is an admission that one is devoid of any significant form of agency.”— James Augustus Berens.

Markets either facilitate our families, tribes, and nations, or they prey upon our families tribes and nations.
Markets and the consumption they provide us, do not create limitless goods. At some point we are no longer advancing our kin, but instead, preventing a future for them.

@curtdoolittle you think people have a secret desire to be controlled? Or is it possible that they have a fantasy to control?

LAWS ARE DISCOVERED, LEGISLATION IS MADE. MAN CANNOT MAKE LAW.
Humans create commands, legislation, and regulations. Laws, both physical and natural (cooperation), we can only discover. We cannot any more create a law of cooperation (natural law) than we can a law of nature (physical laws). The only difference between physical laws and natural laws is that since we have memories, we can cooperate across time rather than be limited to the moment of the difference in potential.
(That might be hard to catch without pondering a bit.)

Well, you know, most of what I say is just common sense. The difference is that now we have a century of evidence of democracy to prove it.
