Sorry it took a while to get back to you. I had to take a much needed brake from social media for a few days.
Thanks! Yes, I totally agree about Passio. Cultural indoctrination among many things are what fuel our enslavement. I agree these "Big picture solutions" are nothing but the majority imposing its will on the minority. (even if it's a minority of 1). We will never be free as long as people do not understand self ownership nor take responsibility for their own actions as well as the illegitimacy and immorality of government.
Morality and Social decay are inversely proportional. The less morality we have in society the more social decay we will have and vise versa. I realized a long time ago that unfortunately not everyone can be saved or see the light on these issues. If people argue with me with fallacies like that I no longer engage because they are not even open minded enough to consider what you are saying and are more or less a lost cause and not worth the time to help.
That is an interesting perspective about what law is. I will have to give that some more thought but I like your premise. I also agree that love is exactly what morality is pointing us at. Thanks again for your great analysis and insight! :)
Hey, wanna frustrate yourself? Here's a great example of the statist's inability to follow a chain of thought (as I'm sure you've encountered a million times). As Passio has stated, these people are literally broken (in more ways than one). They can’t think. That ability has been crippled by the misuse and atrophy of the relevant organ.
And the deeper problem is that they don't duly value the ability to think clearly. It's way cooler to be a sunglassed hotshot driving a sports car around the circular drive of his mansion than to be a lucid thinker. The philosopher is imagined as one who falls in the well while his eyes are on the stars. As though anything could be more practical than Truth. It's not going to get you the money, or the girl, though, so what use is it? What a deplorable state of depravity man has been conditioned to embody.
I could only watch about half of that before wanting to scream lol. I couldn't imagine how many times they went in an circle in the entire two hour conversation. Some people like that are not capable of seeing outside the purview of government.
It always comes down to "Yeah, but come on, man - we gotta have government." It's just assumed, and all pretense of argumentation is an afterthought. There's a blind spot - that's what it was for me. The second someone shined a light in that area, I immediately realized it. Some are less willing to release the deception. I often think of it as a malicious chemical sitting in the receptor site where imaginative, logical, moral social solutions should reside.
