It's pretty much impossible to not support criminals in some small way by virtually every single act on the free market though. That's just how markets work: they benefit everyone in ripple effects. If you trade with someone using bitcoin before they even have bitcoin, you are still increasing that person's wealth and ability to create with other people, and that increases the overall wealth which increases the tax/inflation base. So avoiding supporting criminals, you can sometimes do that directly, but you cannot do it for many many multiple steps.
What is needed for criminals then is a targeted system of identification and discrimination, and competitive networks of insurance agencies that can compel those individuals to pay for their crimes according to some due process standards and to industry best practices that will have developed. Your use of bitcoin, for hodling or for trade, will be benefiting governments and central banks indirectly. It will also be benefiting the people and institutions fighting against them. With your bitcoin, you can choose who to support more though.

Yeah it's pretty easy to understand. Alan here is emphasizing an accept the inevitable stance, which I agree with, but he is also equating that with having no ill feelings about circumstances and such an immoral leviathon being afforded another lifeline. These do not necessarily go together. Acceptance may come with some healthy negative emotions along the way.

You're right that he is failing to engage with your argument. But you are also overreacting and engaging in attacks on his presentation that are probably not relevant and definitely not helpful toward getting him to engage in the real argument you made originally.

Hoppe came out with a glorious takedown of Milei.

This is why we need PRIVATE, DECENTRALIZED, COMPETITIVE markets. This is why we follow the NAP and build the Agora on nostr & Bitcoin.

2025-02-19 21:38:59

The tragedy of the commons is not solved by a consensus on rulers. It is solved by a consensus on rules. When a king establishes order, it is only because his rules, which the monarchists have assented to follow, are simple and more functional than the prior order.
As an anarcho-capitalist, I assent firmly to the NAP. As a bitcoiner, I additionally assent to rules communicated and enforced in part by my Bitcoin node. These rules are enforced by rational actors on the Market who agree, as well as by actors who effectively agree, that is, who carry out actions that assist with the goal, even if they are not directly intending that same goal. They may be intending something similar or something else entirely, may have no concept of libertarian property rights.
Yes, even people who are not full-blown libertarians help to enforce the NAP even more than they carry out actions that work against it. The Market provides, and can lend itself to consensus on information, including information regarding property rights and property rules/contracts/ownership.

I do nothing of the sort. I'm a believer in objective truth. I just don't go about expecting everyone to conceive of it exactly the way that I do before even entertaining their conversations to understand them. No one has the exact same understanding as you. A good epistemology and good discussion skills must account for this. It often seems to me that Objectivists fall pretty short of this one thing, though honestly, let's be real, basically everyone does.
My thing is that I try to understand a concept by trying out different frameworks of thought, perhaps one my interlocutor is using, perhaps one they haven't even thought of yet, so that I understand the actual meaning of the concept, before I reject it or make assertions about it that are likely to be irrelevant or unproductive.

Well said!!!! I didn't realize that was the full parable of the eye of the needle! Much much more meaning I can discern from it now. Risk losing the things you are beholden to (say, unjustified claims to knowledge that you have left unchallenged) to discover the truths, the greater riches, the opportunities that cone with inspection, with the unknown.

I was in the library recently. I thought the fiction was real, until it hit me, this frickin' thing is a fiction! What a friction it caused in my mind! So I deliberately sought a book in the nonfiction section, on friction. But the example description within was the classical frictionless example of a block sliding down an incline. Nonfriction, if I may use such a line. I thought, I am seeking out nonfiction on friction, not this fictional account of nonfriction that defies intuition! So I threw the book at the table across from me and it slid all the way along the surface and off, you see. I thought, mein Gott, that nonfriction diagram was not fictitious at all! It was, in point of fact, nonfiction nonfriction!!!! At this point I wondered whether I was living in a fictitious simulation of negligible coefficients of dynamic friction, but I couldn't be, because the fiction had both dynamic and static friction, as did the nonfiction, in my hand in the moments before my loss of conviction. The fiction and nonfiction and their respective frictions were most definitely real, of this I have much stronger conviction.

If they want to play, they will learn to play in a way that people will want to play with them. It doesn't need to be forced, because they will want that social interaction, and they will, if they are anything like me, value the other person's happiness too.
Divide and choose, very interesting. This sounds like a specific application of Coasian side bargaining, or of the homesteading principle wherein equal claims are granted, or the original acquisition is in dispute, or the acquisition is contractually agreed in advance to be determined by this method. Game theory offers truly wonderful insights into specific problems in matters of libertarian property rights and utilitarian questions, with immense wealth even in what little bit I am aware of.

> Children have to operate in a world that's actually that complex, but they're not smart enough, and neither are you. So they build partial representations that sort of work, and the parents scaffold them.

If an intellectual good is proprietary, virtually the only way it's a good one is if it is not enforced by a government. If it is closed source but doesn't rely on legal battles over IP laws, and simply hides its source from other companies, etc., then it's ethical, and ethical action is usually a sign of a good company that makes good products.
The moment a company or actor relies heavily on IP laws, it goes to shit.

Oh and some of the whole forcing Jews out of their society thing, that can be for lots of reasons. Jews often have lower time preference and go for financial middlemen jobs. These jobs are seldom understood by most people, who are typically economically illiterate. The Jews are easily demonized due to initial hindrance and being different and not well understood. So there is just irrationality on the part of the society they're trying to find useful functions in too.
Anyway, thank you for expressing yourself and giving me a chance to understand better. Sorry for jumping to conclusions. I very much agree with you on not being ruled by anyone 🤙

Regardless, there are elements in basically all cultures, Jewish culture included, that are evil. In fact there's a bit of evil in every person. I think we can determine rationally what these evils are, and single them out more specifically rather than leaving it as this group is bad mojo. I think statism and the slavish ethics of forcing responsibility onto other people are chief among those cultural evils.

2025-01-23 05:28:48

- reply

That's a much more level headed understanding than I expected. Thanks. I have noticed the Zionist element too. I think Zealot is a good word for statist/militant/aggressive Jews in general. That was what they called the violent revolutionary Jews in Jesus's time, I think. But I just say statist if I'm trying to be more general than Zionist. "Jews" refers variously to a broad cluster of cultures or ethicities and they vary quite a bit, just as any other cluster in modern times, in how statist, gullible, deceptive, rational or irrational, etc. that they are, and it's hardly instructive or meaningful to point out Jews in such a general fashion. It seems decidedly irrational to me to attribute this madness to them in particular, when it's really statists that are doing this/enabling it, perhaps Zionists coordinating certain key elements specifically.
