"There is no greater misfortune
than underestimating your enemy.
Underestimating your enemy
means thinking that he is evil.
Thus you destroy your three treasures
and become an enemy yourself."
From the Dao de Jing

Also agree. Jordan Peterson and those like him think too much.
But... A lot of normies never even consider that they don't actually own their property because you have to pay rent through taxes to the gov't.

2024-07-26 19:43:01

- reply

I agree. But defining ownership and property is a very interesting topic. I'm not arguing with the retarded communists. I'm trying to understand my own position better.
When presented with a stupid idea it's good to know why it is stupid.
What is your definition of ownership?

2024-07-26 19:38:08

- reply

I wasn't very clear. I wasn't talking about just IP laws. But IP laws are based on the assumption that you can own an idea. Ideas aren't scarce.
As soon as you share or use an idea in the world it's no longer scarce. An idea multiplies and grows or dies.
It's different than your private key. You can use your private key without revealing it to the world.

2024-07-26 19:18:29

- reply

IP laws are garbage. Hard to enforce. Hard to define.
If you want a more robust explanation of ownership and IP see the writings of Stephen Kinsella. https://mises.org/library/book/against-intellectual-property

Define ownership. A good working definition is exclusive control over a scarce resource. If you keep your number secret you have exclusive ownership over your Bitcoin.
You won't get that kind of ownership guarantee for land or cars. Stop paying taxes or insurance and see what happens.

Good questions. It is very twisted. The dumb answer is that the whole system is run by a cabal of lizard people.
Closer to reality is probably complex power structures and really bad incentives driving the machine. Human traffickers are allowed to operate but don't pull back the curtain on the corrupt gov't.

Yes it's a constant battle in our culture. Church, school, grocery store, bank... Always it's a special treat.
We used to collect the kids candy they brought home from school and buy it back. We would fill up giant gallon pickle jars.
I brought up the topic in the community parent teacher council and they all said they don't see that much candy. 🤦‍♂️
After we started homeschooling 2 years ago we don't collect nearly as much junk.
The exception is Halloween. We offer to buy back 90+% of the candy. This last year all the kids pooled their candy and we bought them Tears of the Kingdom. They thought it a very worthy trade. It was cheaper than a single cavity filling.

My kids are more socially adjusted and have time to pursue and develop their interests. My young son loves to program. My daughter loves to cook. My other daughter loves to write books. In public schools they wouldn't have time or encouragement for any of that.
