So satisfying.

I feel irritation when I read these words used in an argument: "honestly": "really" "actually" "it seems" "it comes across as"

Discussions of "how we get there" can get tedious, because, who knows. BUT, for my money, anarchy will first be established by a 'knowing few' in a small geographic region- - NOT by dismantling any current state. When this new AnCapistan has shown to be perfectly feasable, the idea will enter public discourse. Then, as states collapse, there will be various small chances to try this 'new' idea everybody is talking about. This will happen no sooner than 2050. This type of change is happens vertically, ie, generationally. We will all be long gone before we see this.

Hi Yuanqucious! Welcome to the boards. I live in Austin too (far North, near Plugerville) AND I lived in China for about 8 years. Do you wanna meet up? If so, message me!

If I ever see something that is beyond known physical laws, the first explanation would come to mind is superior alien technology.

Here's the math your brain does: Thin = Youth Youth = Lots of Eggs Lots of Eggs = Sexy For myself, I don't even like big breasts. I like extremely skinny women. These ad campaigns that say "everybody is beautiful", that's just visual socialism. Nope, not everybody is hot. Sorry.

Free money hurts people. Look at people who are IN the welfare state.

I live in #12...Austin, TX And yep, 70% of my decision to NOT do fun things is traffic related. I can't wait for the market to produce: 1. Self driving cars 2. High quality hologram type meeting space so you can socialize without leaving your house.

Nice ( :-D ) video. Well said. Niceness is (so often) cowardice, in virtue's disguise. --- My mom is the nicest person you'll ever meet. And she'll rip you to shreds when you're out of the room. You're her BEST friend and confidant, until she's with somebody else...and boy will she have opinions about YOU.

If the Earth was split into 2 massive states (hemisphere A "Communist State", and hemisphere B "Fascist State"), would you be "free to choose"? Choosing isn't necessarily = to freedom. The point is moot anyway, because no organization has the right to impose debts on the unborn.

Volunteerism is the only moral and practical way to improve society.

To protect and serve ....the slave owners.

You are the only person who others are legally REQUIRED to discriminate against. Proof: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_class In the eyes of the law, white males are the lowest form of life. Welcome to privilege.

Hey Jpahmad, That was a good presentation. Thanks for that. I'm in Austin too. Do you live here? Are you interested in meeting? I live up North near Plugerville.

What opportunities (if any) does this create from an investment perspective?

Either arguments matter, or they don't. Free will is a red herring.

Thank you for that. I felt a strange wave a relief flow over me knowing somebody else experienced this kind of childhood.

The very fact that a song can "work" is testament to the fact that beauty exists, and is undeniable.

Knowing when to quit is so important: For example: I started learning Chinese in Shanghai. Then I quit. It would have taken 2-4 years to get fluent. Instead, during that time I wrote songs and recorded albums. Now, I have a whole life that revolves around my music and playing shows/parties. If I had stuck with Chinese, I'd have a stupid party trick.

The Bible of health for me: 1. Diet is WAY more important than exercise to your weight. 2. Low-ish carb. 3. High-ish protein 4. Get your heart rate past 150 three times a week to FEEL happy.

I worked at a hotel where we'd refer people to other hotels if/when we were full. We were happy to do that. Ditto with the other place.

How does this apply to over-airconditioned work spaces (it's freezing in my office). Does this work if I just take a hot bath?

Strike the root: There are 1,000 striking at the branches of evil to one who striking at the root. Get DEEEP. If people can't be trusted to trade....how can they be trusted with violence, money printing, education, war, HEALTH CARE....etc.
