The immediate experience that you think is most personal are caused by societal myth. The emotions that you are glad you feel or hate that you feel are created by powerful institutional actors.
I read on the internet that Alex Jones is a secret jew who rapes children in his personal parlor found in a basement book store. Is this true! I'm just asking questions?
Except logic and reason. I know those; something clearly missing among the people who prefer to imagine an impossible conspiracy than embrace the real horror of the world:
Yes child trafficking is not a real world thing, right you Morton?
Sure it's real. But it's not in the basement of a pizza place that has no basement, or being run by people who would just go on "vacation" instead of bothering with human trafficking.
This legislation path is a slippery slope of control. Every1 agrees, harming/ selling your child is wrong. (If everyone agrees why do you need the law?)
We do evil not from confusion, but for what it gets us. Scientists studying consciousness agree pigs are conscious and killing conscious beings is wrong, but they are not all vegan.
Online it works - in meat space you can hire an assassin or take my PK. Bitcoin IS cash and WHEN we all go to it, we'll need someone to stop phsycial crime - and someone to decide what crime is.
Humans are rules making creatures. We all create rules we live by. Liberty, freedom from other's nonsense rules, is HARD FOUGHT. Left or right, we mustn’t let the authoritarians take our liberty.
This is not true. Investment will always be made as long as the expected risk/return is better than the rate of inflation. That holds true even if the rate is negative (deflation).
Inflation @ 3% example. O1: Invest at -1% after inflation O2: Do nothing ** Deflation @ 3% example O1: Invest at -1% after deflation O2: do nothing ** Inflation drives bad investment.
This is not true. Investment will always be made as long as the expected risk/return is better than the rate of inflation. That holds true even if the rate is negative (deflation).
Even if the risk/return is worse than inflation investment will be made - as long as it's not a more-negative risk/return than inflation. Deflation sets a positive return for nothing.
I am NOT making an “ought” argument regarding these assertions; I am saying that without consideration of these costs we will not have a full picture of how to help the unfolding of the future.
A3) Government does not seek efficiency, it seeks effectiveness. Efficiency is minimum resource usage for a singular goal (profit). Effectiveness balances stakeholders (investment in basic science)
I think you are inadvertently engaging in a Motte and Bailey form of argumentation. tinyurl.com/y7267k9x Reverting to an easier to defend position (fiat is bad/gov is too big) to 'disprove' my point.
Capitalism only works if there are ownership rights. Ownership requires violent enforcement. The government monopolizes violent enforcement. Without this monopoly enforcement requires more violence.
