It’s not your job to save people, it’s your job to speak truth and do right. The people who are going to come through better than most are the ones who decided to listen. Maybe not to you but to someone.
With any kind of evangelism you’re going to fail a whole lot more than you succeed, it’s just something that comes with the territory. That can definitely be depressing, but I’d suggest reading something like the old Isaiah’s Job article. It’s a whole lot better for your mental health to stick to a “reach the remnant” mindset rather than “reach the masses”, the latter will always disappoint.

If these are examples of his thinking then I believe my original critique was spot on.
TL;DR - The more thoughtful right wingers, and I would count Auron MacIntyre among them, would do well to read more Hans-Hermann Hoppe. https://cdn.mises.org/What%20Must%20Be%20Done_7.pdf
"The mistake here lies in the order of operations, assuming that virtue is the result of liberty rather than understanding that liberty can only be enjoyed by a people who have first cultivated a high degree of virtue."
The mistake is in the order of operations, but it is not mine. Virtue without liberty is forced virtue, which as I said originally, is an oxymoron. Forced virtue is simply unthinking compliance, and unthinking compliance is not a virtue. Even God wants us to think as we attempt to comply with His law. However, order and virtue are not the same thing and we should consider the two separately.
"For Machiavelli, the key factor that made Republican government possible was the virtue of the people. Under a monarchy, the people didn't need to practice a high degree of self discipline. The king provided order, and that order allowed the people to prosper even if they didn't have the character to rule themselves."
This is exemplary of the propensity of right wingers to use the word "order" without defining it. Order is the degree to which individuals can be comfortable that their person and property are not in imminent danger of being violated. Some kings may have provided some degree of order at some times by providing a level of protection of persons and property from violators other than the king and his agents, but it is important to remember that each king is also to a lesser or greater degree an agent of disorder himself. The private thieves and murders which the king would, on occasion, protect individuals against were not the only violators of person and property, but the king himself obtained his vast wealth by performing the same type of violations he claimed to protect against.
"Order is more necessary for human flourishing than freedom, a lesson
that many who have always lived under the benefit of a stable civilization often forget."
Order is more necessary for human *survival* than freedom, but for human *flourishing* liberty is more important. Order predates widespread material prosperity, which is what I assume is meant by human flourishing in this context. If order alone were sufficient for increases in material prosperity then we should expect the historical record to reflect material prosperity increases commensurately with increases in order, and this is demonstrably not the case. Order is necessary to maintain what has been achieved, but to go beyond that and build something new liberty is required. Increases in material prosperity require trying new ideas or techniques for production, which is the job of the entrepreneur. Neither a king nor a modern nation state can effectively do the job of an entrepreneur and entrepreneurs can only exist within a framework of not only order but also liberty, as they must be free to experiment and take risk (liberty) while also perceiving no imminent threat to their person or property (order).
"Without order, we can't have community or understand our role inside of it. Order is a precondition for community. Community is a precondition for virtue. Liberty is the rare and delicate fruit of a society which is virtuous."
I don't think this framing is correct, I think this is a far more accurate summary:
Order and community are inextricably linked, there is a causality going in both directions. Order cannot be obtained by an individual alone, nor can a community be maintained if people are not secure in their persons and property to a large degree. Community and order are both preconditions for liberty, as without the assurances of security in person and property (both physical security as well as normative security) provided by the community then the exercise of liberty is impossible as the struggle to survive is all-consuming. Liberty is a prerequisite for virtue as virtue can only truly be achieved when the vast majority of the individuals within the community choose to be virtuous of their own volition. This choice is only possible when unvirtuous choices are both presented (liberty) and declined (true virtue), otherwise any virtue is merely forced virtue, which is not virtue at all.

Full disclosure, I’m basing this statement off other podcasts that I’ve listened to with Auron MacIntire as a guest. I haven’t yet listened to this particular episode. Perhaps he explains his position more thoroughly.

2024-08-12 17:36:00

- reply

It is certainly true that liberty without virtue is ruinous. However what I’ve never heard the right wingers making this argument explain is how you can build a virtuous society without liberty?
Liberty is a necessary (though insufficient) prerequisite for virtue, because virtue cannot be real without both the availability of the path to dishonor and the choice on the part of the individual not to take that path. Forced virtue is an oxymoron, anyone arguing for it has the causality reversed at best.

Were there massive thefts as a result of the US regime’s wars in the Middle East?Absolutely.
However I seriously question these numbers. The entire market cap of gold is around $16 trillion. Let’s be exceedingly generous and say that 1/4 of that was stolen.
That would still leave $46 trillion left of the claimed number that was stolen in Iraq. The worldwide annual production of oil is ~$2 trillion. Again let’s be exceedingly generous and say 1/4 of that was stolen too. At that rate of theft, you’d still need 96 years to completely close the remaining gap to get to those claimed numbers. Given that the US invaded Iraq in 2003 then they’ve just passed 20% of the way there.
Even assuming the entire $16T market cap of gold was stolen and the entire $2T worldwide annual production of crude oil was stolen, that would still take 17 years to add up to $50 trillion. It would’ve taken from 2003 to 2020 where there was absolutely zero gold anywhere and absolutely zero gasoline and other petroleum products. We would have noticed that one.
This is besides the fact that if Iraq had $50 trillion dollars in wealth in 2003 they’d have certainly been able to fund a military that would’ve been a far more serious threat in the conventional sense to the invading US forces. This also clearly did not happen.
Yes you should question the regime and its horrific policies. Yes you should assume that those operating the regime are acting out of bad faith and for personal gain. However when you throw out claims that are so out of line with anything that is even close to plausible reality you end up hurting your case far more than you help, as you seem like a crackpot to anyone with the patience to spend 5 minutes using a search engine.

Storage is cheap, but the UTXO set has to be kept in RAM, not on the hard drive. All the degen stuff over the last year has bloated the UTXO set significantly. Right now RAM is probably the hardware component of greatest concern when considering the cost of a full node.

For every fiction podcast @npub1e2r…lx8t recommend, I will counter with another podcast episode from the Mises Institute.
This one has only been queued up so I haven’t listened yet, but it sounds interesting. Possibly also relevant insofar as refining the framing of ideas is likely to improve argumentation.
Going in I’m personally more in agreement with the Hoppe position, though I don’t think the case is as rock-solid as some influencers might argue.

Both this and the original note are over generalizations. There’s specific women and specific men who are absolutely terrible to each other, both online and in real life. Those specific people bear full responsibility for their actions and rhetoric.
However I’m not responsible for the father that leaves his family for a side chick. His terrible decisions shouldn’t reflect on me. The same is true of the women who don’t buy into men-hating woke BS, they aren’t responsible for the ones who do.

Assuming you’re referring to Matthew 20:1-16, I think it’s about two things.
1. An instruction not to be jealous or resentful of others. Most prominently to not be resentful of those who are latecomers to God, especially if you’ve been following Christ and working for His kingdom for many years, but I do think more generally as well.
2. The sanctity of contracts and agreements. Each one of the workers agreed to the offer presented, both those who were hired in the early morning and those hired at the eleventh hour and they all received what they agreed to. Verses 13-15 especially highlight this.
Hope you’re having a blessed day!
