    SMART

    –“Most opinions we find stupid or insane are usually just the result of the opinion-holder discounting the value of a cost we find to be expensive. I need to remember this before I start hating on people for their stupid, insane beliefs.”–

  • Philosophical Matchsticks

    [P]hilosophy is too much like giving children matches to play with. And as Durant said, there are really no answers there. History is the only evidence of the nature of man, and the answers to our political nature are there. Philosophy is, at best, just a tool that helps us reduce our ever-present tendency to err. It is more often a tool by which we increase our errors. At its worst, it is a tool for self deception, or the deception of others. BUT If I succeed with a logic of cooperation, and the morality of stating philosophy operationally, I think that I will have ‘cured’ discourse.

  • How Much Longer Will You Trust Your Liberty To Your Fellow Man?

    –“Rights” are the terms in which the weak couch their desire for a liberty they have not the might to secure.”–Eli Harman

    [Y]our fellow men and women do not desire liberty. They desires consumption, status, and ease. Liberty requires great expense, revolt against the masses, and constant diligence. The source of liberty is the organize application of violence to deny access to others, that which you have labored to obtain by voluntary means. The left’s irrational utopian vision is no worse than the rothbardian irrational libertarian utopia. Aristocratic egalitarians invented liberty. And the manufactured it with organized violence.

  • The first question of politics: “Why don’t I just kill you and take your stuff?”

    The first question of politics: “Why don’t I just kill you and take your stuff?” We don’t have to LIKE that this is the first question of politics, any more than we have to like that the first question of philosophy is why we do not commit suicide. But that is the first question, and it’s merely dishonest to start elsewhere.
