Wow, mega-kudos!
They've banned me after just 10 of posts.
I remmember you from there actually. We both entered aproximately at the same time. In fact, I only went there because of your thread, right after you started it.

I dunno...I kind of became fond of them. Especially after trolling White Nationalists. Boy are those deranged! Made me respect communists a bit more.

Photoshops / Re: What'd you add to *your* version of the Anarcho-Capitalist flag?
« on: November 06, 2009, 05:06:21 PM »Well, like laws of physics, they exist whether you "buy into" them or you don't. The basic idea is that certain social rulesets are necessary / ideal for civilization to flourish, including respect for individual rights. A society that routinely fails to punish theft and murder is very unlikely to make it past the hunter-gatherer stage of human development. The society that violates those rights the least has a competitive advantage over those that violate them more. What part of that escapes you?
The part where you actually prove they exist.
I certainly understand the advantage of having freedom, recognition of property and validity of contracts, but these are neither axioms, nor self-evident.
In order for natural rights to be natural then it would NOT require any sort of entity to enforce them. By such very definition, a free society requires the enforcement of the ideas it finds advantageous. But this means then, that such ideas are not rights , but merely privileges. And whether such entities act or not to enforce them means some will get the privileges while others won't.
Ultimately it all boils down to community agreements and intersubjective agreements. There is no such thing as objective rights.

(A) / Ⓐ reading a book - awesome!
I just wish there was something added to indicate rational understanding of natural rights, as per capitalism / propertarianism. Anarchy just by itself is something completely different.
Sorry, don't really buy into natural rights

« on: June 29, 2009, 05:08:11 PM »I thought those palm trees were wind turbines...which would make a lot more sense than palm trees on a platform chilling out in the middle of the sea.
interesting idea. While the option for a political refuge doesn't apply here, I also like the idea of using shipping containers to construct realatively cheap and potentially very interesting looking abodes.
also; link doesn't work for me.
Cool, i watched some guys building a sustainable house out of 3 containers in national geographic a while ago. cool pictures, thanks for sharing
also, link is fixed now. sorry for the inconveniance

General / Seasteading for Climate Change
« on: June 28, 2009, 03:37:14 PM »
Yes i know Seasteading has been spoken of before, but i bet you never thought it could have something to do with climate change/global warming
I think this article is interesting because it gives another reason why the development of floating platforms is important, provided global warming cannot be avoided (if its actually we who are causing it) and sea level rises as dramatically as the media makes so many people believe it will
LINK: http://digg.com/d1v6YL
further on,
So, what are your thoughts on this? If global warming is inevitable, this solution will provide a cheaper cost for climate refugees to live AND a cheaper cost for political dissidents to go live there. If global warming isnt that bad, then at least other political ideas will be cheaper to be tried.

The idea of floating cities that could one day house climate change refugees is not new. There have been some older news regarding that solution in case rising sea levels force people out of their homes. It is with great hope that a new idea will be shared.
further on,
Quote
It was with this scenario in mind, that an interest idea has sprung. The Seasteading Institute has as a mission “to further the establishment and growth of permanent autonomous communities, enabling innovation with new political and social systems”.
Quote
One of the main engineering problems faced by the Seasteading Institute was precisely how to reduce the cost of floating platforms in order to make the prospec of living in the sea more attractive. These and other concerns are mostly addressed in the Seasteading Institute’s Frequently Asked Questions.
Quote
Such advances in floating platforms will reduce the cost of building those platforms and will allow for more of them to be built and to house more climate change refugees. Let us hope the cost will be even more reduced by further developments on this field.
So, what are your thoughts on this? If global warming is inevitable, this solution will provide a cheaper cost for climate refugees to live AND a cheaper cost for political dissidents to go live there. If global warming isnt that bad, then at least other political ideas will be cheaper to be tried.

« on: June 16, 2009, 04:27:31 PM »
lol, that sounds plausible given todays environment. however, her portraits still sound heroic, as one was actually given the chance to defend himself, even if he refused, like he did. In any case, what Ian did when he was arrested can be viewed as a small attempt for one to equal hank rearden.
