I'm not saying the government shouldn't be held accountable, merely that the due process clause of the 14th amendment is the wrong vehicle. The right to due process in the case of deprivation of life does not mean any…
The second amendment is a pretty well articulated negative right in the same manner as the first or the fourth in the classical liberal school of thought. These are natural rights that individuals have and the bill of…
> “He’s correct. … Why wouldn’t it [evolution] apply to universes when it applies to everything else?” I kind of wish the article touched on "everything" a bit more. Biological evolution is not the only process…
“The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design. To the naive mind that can conceive of order only as the product of deliberate arrangement, it…
How is there a big difference between those two things? People want Netflix, people also want the output of AI whether that is lobster Jesus or something else. This seems more like substituting what people want, which…

That's not what CU held. The idea that corporations have legal personhood with some degree of rights is much, much older than Citizens United. Citizens United was a non-profit corporation that created Hillary: The Movie…
There are roughly two orders of magnitude more microcontrollers in the world running code than application processors. GC is not acceptable on a microcontroller due to the extreme resource constraints. The GP post is…
Perhaps you could expand upon the parallels you’re seeing as it seems like you’ve fundamentally misunderstood my post.

UBI would be pure deficit spending which would basically double it. Our interest is already the #2 federal outlay at $1 trillion (defense is #5 last I heard) and we're already in fiscal dominance. So the end result is…
I also don’t think people should vote like that, the problem is there’s no way to enforce such a pattern[1]. Everyone benefits from voting as you describe, but that’s precisely where the prisoner’s dilemma comes into…
Voting is meant to allow a community to police itself to some extent, although the downside to that is it incentivizes controlling the discussion over contributing to it. It’s a lot easier to vote in accordance with…
As I’ve grown older I’ve come to realize that there are no solutions, merely tradeoffs. Saying something is “free” is selling a solution which rhetorically works well with a voting populace that has little, if any,…
You’re using multiple definitions of “free” here. One is freedom in the Lockean sense, the other is freedom from the properties and consequences of an emergent system. It’s a bit like saying you are free to choose your…
You’re only considering one part of the system, not the whole. As the GAO puts it[1]: > Intragovernmental debt holdings represent federal debt owed by Treasury to federal government accounts—primarily federal trust…
I want to highlight your point because you're correct and this is something that a lot of people don't understand about economic systems. We exist in a resource constrained system. There are finite medical workers,…
I fully admit what I said was simplistic and not meant to indicate the true complexity of the system. I agree with everything you’ve posted as inflation is not immediate merely because the money exists. I was presenting…
I don’t disagree with your first point, but your second point may have been a misunderstanding of what I said or I don’t understand what you’re saying. I’m not suggesting when you spend money it goes away and can’t be…

It's no different than the South in the US which does not include Texas, New Mexica, Arizona, or any other states that are geographically South in the modern day US. Once you understand the historical aspect of the…
Sorry for the double reply but I think a concrete example might elucidate what I am discussing. I have had to deal with close friends being addicted to heroin. I believe the free market is harmful when it comes to hard…
I didn’t miss their point, I challenged the foundation upon which it rested. You are asserting that a free market is unstable and will inevitably lead to a monopoly. Even if I take this as a fact for the sake of…
