I am a paleo libertarian by nature, and a classical liberal by intuition – I just understand that the rightists are right…. so to speak. The right is right. I can’t argue with the truth. It is what it is. So yes, I have high openness, High Loyalty, and High Disgust. I suppose if I wasn’t a bit of an aspie I would also like hierarchy more than I do. But since aspies consider everyone the the same level, maybe that’s the difference. And since everything has to ‘fit together’ in my systematizing aspie brain, and aspies are info-vores my libertarianism is probably more do to the aspiness and my instincts more conservative.

You don’t dump toxic wastes in it (lies). You don’t dump unknown products in it (speech lacking due diligence). Doesn’t matter if the polluter intended to cause damage, we simply don’t tolerate it.”—Vengefül Bobmoran

When there is no buffer between choice/action and consequence reality/nature is the best teacher, experience the best path to wisdom. Only clinically insane and deeply mentally challenged people wantonly put their hand in the fire a third time… Those are the people you need to remove from the commons for their own safety and ours.”—Anne Summers

    (FB 1547748265 Timestamp) NATIONALIZING VISA AND MASTERCARD WILL BE A NECESSITY We are going to nationalize visa/mc with a controlling govt interest rather than regulating it. Why? With the end of consumer interest, the businesses will collapse, and the organization survive entirely on transaction fees. This organization is necessary for the distribution of liquidity, the transfer of payments, and the purchasing of goods, services and information. When this occurs, it will no longer be possible for the card companies to intervene in the process of political speech. Consumer Banking as we know it will largely collapse, and the services will be picked up by grocery stores and drug stores. Private companies will also no longer be able to play credit games with consumers nor issue their own credit, because it will be uncollectible (unenforcible) debt if they do. This will cause a shit-storm. There is nothing in consumer credit that is not purely actuarial (computational). Nothing. There is very little need for enforcement when liquidity is distribute to consumers instead of through the financial system, and consumer debt is paid down from that distribution. The regularity that this will add to the commercial cycle as we can adapt to shocks almost instantaneously will be as historic an improvement as was use of shares in the economy as a money substitute.
