With cryptocurrency you can travel across a border with a million $ worth, by just keeping a 12-word recovery phrase on you. Cryptocurrencies can never be stopped, and will more likely outlive governments than vice versa. Long live tax evas

Like my body is my property are the bodies of others also property of theirs, and I have no right to violate their property right. It is instead right to proportionally defend rightfully owned property.

Our natural rights are God-given and true since all men are equal children of creation, and thus no man has the right to stand above any other and deny them their right to speech or to gather. I am the property of myself and have the sole r

> Your translation means "coronavirus did not result in an increase in deaths in 2020" That’s simply a lie - you are deliberately taking the “yet” out and replacing “showing” with “result”, which indicates total certainty, from

Is the part we are disagreeing about what “not _yet_ showing any change” means? I doubt hospitals have ten thousand deaths which they procrastinated reporting. More likely the author meant that November and December is not yet counted, and

We agree. Reread my comment - I said it was “just like” the similie. Just like East Germans lived under forced government monopoly and regulations in the car market but most could dream of Benzes and BMWs, you and I can dream about a world

You and I have a thread above where I replied why ethics must be universal if they exist - I welcome you to prove me wrong there, or to boldly argue that might is right!

To downvoters - I welcome your disapproval like Socrates welcomed his hemlock ;) I claim that ethics if they exist must be universal. If ethics are not universal, ie it is right to steal from some but not from others, you will never find a

Are you objectively sure it’s subjective? Ethics must be objective/universal, although cheating it is common and alluring. Because ethics are universal the rules make sense even for children. It is wrong to lie, steal, rape, and kill,

If you follow to it’s end the principle that makes gifts moral but theft immoral, or sex moral but rape immoral, or work moral but slavery immoral, yes you reach “anarcho-capitalism”

If you are interested in universal morals, the effects of incentives, and a world without coercion, I’d recommend checking out the website of the Mises Institute or the podcast of Stefan Molyneux. Good night from a small socialist European

If ethics exists it must be universal - otherwise ethics is just = power. If ethics is universal, rules apply equally to anyone. Let’s say theft is not moral, unlike receiving a gift. Both are cases of receiving without payment - the differ

The best case would be a parallel economy developing, where you can hide yourself from government. No burglar can cost you as much as government. I sadly have yet to find a client for coding who wants to pay in crypto and not report it to t
