Remind us Lex, what is that formula... for controlling your government?

That's what's missing. Your formulas have been about developing natural control within the market itself, but nothing about government controls... which you must have.

What's weird is that, even with regulations relating to financial disclosure, environmental regulations, health and safety etc, we still get businesses taking short cuts and trying to screw over the consumer for their own gain. Yet somehow thinks that the way to solve that is.....less regulation? :oops:

Part of the formula is secession i.e. economic boycott and social ostracism.

This part has not been mastered on the part of those who should know better.

Because, even if you can show that there is an economic formula that works 100% to the extent you follow it, free will means some may not accept it.

So, you need a plan B.

That plan B, is to separate from those people..... otherwise they will hold you back.

It's rocket science.

Does it make a single jot of difference to his dogged disbelief in adhering to a formula that gets results if you just stick to it?

Except we have the real world examples of people making tea billions of times in the past to attest to the fact that the formula for making tea works.

Your "formula" involves something different to what any other society has ever done, risking the prosperity, safety and wellbeing of perhaps thousands or millions of people for something which has massive and glaring flaws which you cannot provide solutions for. Why should anyone take you seriously if you cannot even articulate actual solutions for massive issues with your proposed world view?

No.

The formula is only for those who don't consider it a risk.

Yet again.... hardly the first time I've pointed this out.
 
Ok, I'm done.

I have great appreciation faith in people who try, with real heart. I wish those attempting to make Libert. work all the best, really do.

No, you see, there you're doing it again - avoiding the actual question. But that's fine, you're entitled to do that.


Can't recall what that means. Not sure it matters

I have to leave you be, Brian_G.

I am but one man, who doesn't have the skills to fix Biological Reductionism on the spot.

I only know one way to fix that. I wish I could say otherwise.

Any change comes with risk Lexity. The idea is to fairly evaluate those risks and mitigate them if you want to convince people to change. Saying that your formula contains zero risk is a whole new level of delusion.

like that failed town in new hampshire, called grafton - that place overrun with bears and libertarians - where the church burned down

That place doesn't count apparently..... because reasons.

Self-delusion, Lex. Me a biological reductionist with all you know about me??

Better not to self-delude my man, more chance you may actually see things clearly then, yes?

Fine... who don't consider it a show-stopping risk.

After all,it's not as though the current Marxist trajectory you are on isn't itself a risk.

As you were.

yea
reasons: a terribly inconvenient window into the defective reality of libertarianism.

It's a poor example, was mostly inhabited by hippy types. But yes, it did show up some flaws anyway.

no
its a perfect example - and there are more. every attempt has failed.

oddly, there is not one example of a successful town based on libertarian philosophy, not one.

I can't comment, haven't come across that. But then it would suggest that hippy types (those preferring not to work) are most attracted, so they would trip up many attempts.

However, if there was strict control of who could join, that could be another matter..
