The businesses can either set up a counter where you come in and exchange your goods for their in-store currency. Or the surrounding city has developed an e currency that has conversion rates set up. The hypothetical of what will happen is unknown as when the restraints are removed we could switch to an energy based economy or even one that is based upon something else. But I believe currencies generally come out of the commodity market, if you've played fallout 3 they use bottle caps. Other things that we will still have access are commodities like cloth and wood and most of the junk that would normally be dumped would probably end up having people come and pay for it. I believe that a gold standard could be used if banks manage to switch to a freer market system. Or people could set up currency exchange barter shops where they have a number of different currencies and can make decisions on buying the large variety of things people have.

I'm Anarcho-capitalist I'm Atheist Sexuality is unimportant. Abortion is situational, and subjective. Religion will hopefully fade away as all other superstitions have. Rationalizing non-sense to fill gaps in understanding has to end at some point. In an anarcho capitalist society intellectual property would have value and would be like other commodities. I do not think that "we" can, but as individuals I believe that it will happen. I like Peter schiff's idea behind allowing the consumer to dictate what the currency they would like their wealth stored in. If more banks did this we could see a rapid deployment of gold backed currency to compete with the dollar. I disregard the concept of fate/predestination.

My name is Dax. Not really but If my real name is important I can bring that to bare at a later time. I am interested in a wide variety of topics and have recently been swamped with time to research whatever I would like, and after a few 15 minute sessions over at khanacademy and listening to several videos and reading a couple of books. I am at least here. What happens next is anyone's guess. I am very new to some of the material but some of the premises behind the arguments are very well done, and I hope to contribute and learn.

I'll just apologize for the length of my posts now. I am really bad for typing to fast and adding too much details. Enjoy. The major influences have been: Father's military service My uncles death when I was 7. Dungeons & Dragons starting back in 1994. I was ten Learned about computers and played more D&D, and console games. I was 14 My school had arrived in the information age, and we were taught how to establish emails, and took typing courses. I was 15 My experience in high school should have driven me to be more violent but it never manifested, and I was given the option to leave the school district and live with my sister. I was 16-17 Living with my sister and working during my school year wasn't bad at first, but Sept 11th happened, I had been required to take government class again, it was an introduction to the structure and scope of the government, but unlike missouri I paid attention. I was 17-18 My instructor essentially gave me the first introduction into a strict constitutional framework, At the time I was impressed, and proud. So I sought to join the military, but after an encounter with my sisters husband, he was stressed because my sister was pregnant and upset about me speaking to a Marine recruiter. He threatened to kill me if she lost the baby, so I didn't join. It created a division, that made the next part, where my sister and brother in law manipulated my (suffering but undiagnosed bipolar schizophrenic mother) using the grandchildren as leverage and accusing my father of rape. It tore my entire family apart. The animosity I have for them is ridiculous now, but I still cannot believe that they would be that selfish. (I have learned that neither my father at the time, nor my mother would have split without assistance.) My father was then diagnosed with clinical depression, but not just at the time, he had been suffering for 20 years. (I know there was a significant amount of abuse while he was growing up). Then I left. I returned to where I had graduated 700 miles away from anyone in my family. I reconnected with a girl that had very much caught my attention and wanted to attend college. So after bumming shelter from some ex-friends to my sister for 9 months. I moved into a house with a family that began me on the path to find liberty. The husband had taught me that my time and my money and my skills were mine, and what I did with them produced value. And for the first month and a half rent, I did landscaping projects. Then I met my first atheist, a russian immigrant, nationalized, and attending schools to pursue physics and science. He sparked my curiosity in the natural world and encouraged me to attend community college. Intercollegiate debate, introduction to philosophy, and macro economics, were my first three classes, but seeing the time as not fast enough I joined the National Guard to get school paid for because my interests had expanded. This was when I encountered my own demons, suffered for a year or so with drugs, and found a light, some crappy self-help books that helped me continue digging until I found cognitive behavioral therapy. And I was cured. Understanding the self-talk that undermines my goals, and really helped push me to do more, so between d&d, gaming, CBT, and the national guard. I woke up only to be instantly distracted, I had been getting tutored by my russian friend to fill the gaps in my education. Rounding it out in history, world religions, math, sciences, and a great introduction to libertarian thought. Then Ron Paul came up, and I spent the next 3 years crawling out of my coma. My last hurdle was being stuck without a good argument to fall off the fence between libertarians and minarchism, had I just known why that wouldn't happen. That is where Stefan comes in, yesterday I watched 18 of the videos for philosophy and have read two books. I am generally very socially self conscious, overly critical, and have some odd fear of failure. I am still working through that but have found this very inspirational.The explanation and then use on facebook, of some of the philosophical arguments has already helped me see those on my friends list as they truly are, or at least politically. (since that encompasses 95% of my friends list) (mixed between ron paul supporters, ows protestors, 3%'rs, voluntaryists, and republicans.) I am self conscious because I get comfortable and have a very non-existent filter when it comes to details about my observations of reality. I wrote a paper that I will be reviewing and hopefully reposting here to help me with my fear of being judged socially, and found out to be less intelligent that I think I am. (I started writing this 2 hours ago and have gone through at least 3 different versions. I tried not to add too many irrelevant details but it just comes out when I start typing.) I am open about some of my weaknesses as more of an assistant to myself so that I am less awkward and anxious when I get my web cam going and maybe even call in. I believe I would see if my reasoning about the philosophy of perception holds.
