Stephan really should try to keep the books in print. Even if they need to be run on demand at a higher price point. I can't stand reading things digitally and I like to highlight and write notes in my books. I would like to buy Art of the Argument paperback and some of his older books like UPB if I can find them anywhere. Preferably from Steph so he can make the monies on them instead of some random free marketer taking advantage of my needs.

Yeah. Spank her. Feminists love being put over a strong confident mans knee and getting spanked when they act up. Feminism is a giant shit test.

Not the wrong post. AI in terms of human or super human intelligence is impossible in terms of just coding it out and tada. Not going to happen.

I am going to call bull on the AI that made its own language that even people couldn't understand. They couldn't understand it because it was gibberish nonsense and the AI failed. They pushed it for publicity for a story. The end. I am a php developer.

Bwhahaha lol I think thats it.

I think you mean Charlottesville, VA

Feminists are women who are begging to be put in their place. Your feminist friends fiance needs to man up and show her thats not acceptable.

1. THOUGHT EXPERIMENT If it is possible, it can be created. Say we have an artificial body with parts that do not go bad in a clean room environment. Say we start a computer program, its a very simple one: PRINT <<Combination 1>> RUN IF END REPEAT with +1 to Combination So what happens is it runs "a" then "b" then "c"... etc then "djsdfkjd kr43jr3r9enf" etc every combination of characters. After some crazy amount of time, the code could be so complex that it could stop itself by having so much logic to RUN and to do such that its abilities are indistinguishable from an actual human life. Can a human type this specific code? No. Could it technically be possible somehow? Yes, in my thought experiment that would take too long to actually be useful in any way. 2. MIND EMULATION More importantly, what about mind uploading? They already do it with mice and stuff. They somehow record the brain patterns and such and then run it on a computer. Is this not artificial life? When they do it to humans, would it not be artificial intelligence?

The trick is make enough money fast enough to hire and support your own private militia before someone comes and gets you. Make money, hire guards, make more money, hire more guards. If you decide not to make money and hire guards that is your decision and I won't come to your defense. Just like be a starving artist, no money for health care, or be a doctor and have both money and preferred access to health care, the choice is yours.

I don't think that sentence will do anything. Personally I like to push leftism to the extreme on them. Example: They say: Black lives matters is about black lives mattering. All lives matters is racist because it ignores black lives. I say: If you really think about it, they are still shackled by their slaves chains to be called black. They aren't black. Just look at their skin, its not actually the color black. That term is actually oppression. They must be referred to by their national identities. ie African, Jamaican, American. (Notice this actually makes sense to call an "African American" an "American" ) They say: Hmm really? I say: Yes, You are being racist. They are internalizing their oppression. They say: But I am not racist! I support BLM. I say: You are supporting internalized oppression of minorities, that is racist. You are racist. They say: Omg, I don't mean to be. I am sorry. etc etc. ***This is where they feel the left eating the left. Like when the SJW is called out by the feminists or the transgender black is reeeeeee'd at for saying the "wrong" thing.*** When you push them too far they question their beliefs. They are thinking I am not racist but I did something that someone now thinks I am racist. Breaks their circular thought patterns.

Why did you ask if I was joking? I am telling you I am not joking. Doesn't everyone slap a girls butt? You seem so shocked, I figure you must have never done it or something.

You do not slap a girls ass when you have sex? Oh brother.

Error. Everything else though. Nobody is required to do anything of the sort. Who would require them?

Ok, so I watched the Pt 1-5 and skimmed a few parts of your treatise. I found it pretty interesting. So stay with me if you explained it somewhere and I didn't see it yet. 1. How are people infected? What is making the susceptible? 2. What is the treatment or cure? I don't think this is just some random thing happening, but part of evolution on a more idea evolution or epigenetic level, that would be why it changes so fast like a virus vs typical evolution. Where the liberal SJW side is attempting to remove what makes them dissimilar, as you mentioned, as an end goal of some kind of borg collective or bee hive or something, which is more degenerative as health, IQ and other things are not important anymore past a base level but being as dissimilar as possible and fitting into the group is the best quality. Then on the other side, when smarter, better people keep mating with smarter better people, eventually they will be that much smarter, healthier better, so it would be a more normal path of evolution for more complex and capable humans. If left alone for a very long time, the human species could diverge over this.

I agree with you. I am working under the assumption that if we HAD to have a government, how would you fix the flaw of democracy such as the majority votes for the minorities money? What I posted was my proposed idea. And to be honest, I have since thought about it and it would probably apply to anarchy. Say some revolution happened and instead of a new government forms, the NAP is written out real clear and one security force announces "we will enforce the NAP according to this document, which on it says it may not change". And thus anarchy is formed.

Burden of proof on the one who claims it. How is having a baby an initiation of force, such as it can be compared as equivalent to knocking someone out with physical violence?

Sorry but that is just stupid. Having a child is not an initiation of force such as its comparable to knocking someone out. If it is then just throw the whole concept of NAP out, its useless as an idea.

How do other video sites work and make enough money? Vimeo or even pornhub? Somehow they run tons of video. Hmmmmm.

1. Personally I only find Economic freedom and Moral Population the only relevant factors you included. 2. The countries vary so much, certainly some are better than others in terms of an ancap paradise HOWEVER, specifics of many of these countries will determine it for each individual. Just like New Hampshire has the Free State movement and yeah they do some great stuff up there BUT, I hate the cold, so I wouldn't live there no matter how free it was. Some of these countries are terrible for certain kinds of business so while it may be perfect for all, the geography or the laws they do have may not be ideal for ME or for YOU to go there. That being said I picked Chile, Switzerland wins based on the stats but like I said, I hate the cold so Chile is 2nd place by the numbers I was looking at and warm.

Two big flaws in your argument. 1. As business gets bigger it becomes less efficient, this is how start ups are able to compete so well. Sure buying power creates discounts but communications becomes inefficient. So if you owned 90% of all business in the world, you, such a smart powerful person, could not possibly manage all of your holdings, you leave that to other people, who manage other people who manage other people etc. Nobody cares as much as you do for yourself when it comes to capital management, since its your capital. So when an opportunity presents itself, John tells Samantha, who tells Mark who says no. Then John does more research and puts together a more formal proposal and sends it direct to Mark and Marks boss Kevin, etc etc.... meanwhile startup Y the guy Jeff just did it already and the product is halfway to market. 2. Nobody is even close to owning the world. Even Besos, Zuckerberg and Gates combined aren't even close to owning the world. There is insane magnitudes of value that is unowned, owned in commons, or privately held by individuals. Even governments are valuable... for example, that which is the US Military, if it was to be offered for sale, how much would it cost? I don't have a good number off my head but Besos would have to buy it before he owned the entire world. I can give you a good real estate example too, quick Google search says there about 120mm single family homes in the US and the average price is $188k, which puts all single family homes in just the US at 22.5 trillion dollars, by comparison Besos is worth $84 billion. So no he couldnt buy all those houses. Last point on this, even though he is worth $84 billion, he doesn't actually have $84 billion dollars to go buy stuff with. So in terms of buying power he is nowhere close to go buying the world, let alone the US. Maybe he could buy a city in Africa but he cant even buy a country, the violence used to create countries is so valuable, no country in the world ever would sell their governance of their land for really any price.

That works in the short term. Answer me this, if government does X is the correct moral best necessary thing to do.... why would it need to be voted on or changed? The fact that change is allowed, then allows for literally anything to later happen and always brings about the excessive governance we see today. Even the damn roads. Say the government is going to build the roads. It could be accomplished like this: A 1% tax will be collected to build and maintain roads. No other methods can be used to fund road building or maintenance. The final road plans will be approved by the road commissioner who is to be elected every two years by popular vote. ANY ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THIS PROVISION WILL RESULT IN A DEATH ORDER. Now the roads are done. Nothing to do. No gas taxes, increase of taxes, tolls, car taxes... simple. Then when some wannabe senator type person says hey lets increase the taxes to 2% someone will just blast the dude. I think this would be a much better system than one that can be changed or voted or whatever, both popular or via land owners, or any other method of segregating out people.

I am mostly K however if there was no child support id have a million kids but one family of kids I would pour all my resources into, the rest... well good luck. Best of both strategies. Sometimes I think about going to like Africa or Thailand to accomplish that goal in its entirety. I am still trying to figure out how to fulfill myself in terms of family, so I am sure things will change.

The only way I see a government working would be a document that said like "No murder, murder is X" "no theft, theft is this y" like just spell out the NAP. Then say, if you break the rules, write in restitution or whatever specifically. LASTLY, if anyone tries to change such document to add or subtract even the most minor change, a forever kill order is places on them, free for all anyone can do it. There are still many problems with this BUT we know every other type of government doesn't work very well, I do think this would work better, and I still have many issues with it.

Don't. You aren't arguing with anyone, just repeating yourself like a broken record. You admit a fetus is not a moral agent, then say killing a moral agent is murder. You are missing a GINORMOUS hole in your logic. Either fill it or just keep spitting out commie logic. (ex. Taxes are not theft because roads... um what?) If you knocked a man into a comma, you do have a contractual obligation for damages according to NAP. Which would at minimum be providing care so he would wake up. He has agency. A fetus does not have agency, as you admit. That is a big difference. Another big difference is pregnancy is not "damages" whereas hitting someone in the head such as they are knocked out is damage.
