I asked the Gemini AI “What would an interstate highway system created by libertarians look like?” and got the following answer, which lays out, I think, why libertarianism won’t work: Nobody would like the result!
Libertarians generally advocate for minimal government intervention in the economy. So, an interstate highway system designed with…[Read more]

The basic idea of Libertarianism is Individual Rights to Life, Liberty, and Property, exercised through a Free Market, with the only purpose of Government being the protection of those rights.
Yeah… I get that. That’s an is, not an ought. WHY should that be the basic goal of “Libertarianism” (and why the capitalization,…[Read more]

Up, up and away to the atheist meetup today. Up so high in the quest for shoe fly pie. Below the spaghetti monster flies by. Me oh my, up so high, never knew dialogue and polemics could make me fly. Be contentious without a clue spewing narratives is what we do. Freethinkers are chimerical tinkers. We are determined and blinded in blinkers.…[Read more]

Jake,
It sounds like a wonderful dish from a beautiful server, but until the steel-plated or vat-grown pancreas arrives in the mail, I could only have a sliver on my plate. I’d savor every crumb and morsel, tho.

Unseen,
I would not have been as charitable to Bernie as that executive. I would have said:
“Bernie, if you want 40 hours pay for 32 hours work, then scrunch 40 hours of work into 32 hours the way that humans have always done it: with labor-augmenting and labor-saving technology that humans invent and create when they are free to use their…[Read more]

Unseen,
If Libertarianism is a “cult,” than it is the most contrary, cussed, cantankerous, contentious, quarreling “cult” that ever existed! Herding Libertarians, much like herding Atheists, is like herding cats.
For one thing, it didn’t begin with Any Rand, who denounced Libertarians as “Hippies of the Right,” even though many Libertarians…[Read more]

Enco, read about adverse possession. It is English in origin and dates back to 1600 or so. It really is contrary to our sensibilities. Or is it further back from the 14th century during the plague years? That would make for a good story. I can’t remember and i aint looking it up. But it is like legal theft.
In usa states have statutes that…[Read more]
