It is not the speech that is valuable; it is the freedom of speech that is valuable. Both censorship and freedom of speech will be abused, but we must...
I like it. I would worry about equivocating between “true” and “the truth”. One is a description; the other is the nominalization of that description....

What if human beings are the brick and mortar of said goal, for instance in the former Soviet Union? Mao’s China? The ends did justify the means but t...
Because people would litter is not an indictment on anarchism, but an indictment on the morality of those who would litter. I know of many people, mys...
I don't think we can trust any spokeswoman as a matter of principle, but I think that's a fair analysis. My use of the quote regarding December 2018 w...
I'm fully willing to debate the topic if you ever want to. But yes your irrelevant tirades against me are a complete waste of time. So which question ...
I did answer the questions. Perhaps you missed my post above. Engage you respectfully? Have I attacked you as a person? Have I questioned your motives...
What obstruction? What civil unrest? Deficits aren’t necessarily a bad thing, especially when a country is working on domestic production. His tax rec...
Yes, and that people are trying to stop it is a sign of man’s hubris. I predict mass loss of life will come from man’s tinkering with nature long befo...
It was the reason why, as evidenced by the transcript, Trump’s own statements, Mick Mulvaney, and now the OMB (I wonder why Sandy wasn’t called to pub...

I think he could say that if, by his own faculties and labor, he created the property. This would necessarily lead to property disputes given the boun...
One cannot just assert "it's my park too" unless the space has been designated as such by some state or authority. In order to do that the state or au...
Like I said, a "public property" necessarily requires a state (or some group of left-libertarians) to enforce the property conditions imposed on it. S...
I wouldn't say that, but I would say defending one's property is a natural right, whether there is a government or not. I don't think we defend things...
I've never read George but I'll surely look into him. I read your essay as well. That sounds sort of what China now does. https://www.loc.gov/law/help...
By that measure it sounds like "public ownership" is in fact state ownership, because some state or other would be required to determine and enforce w...
In your estimation, would the product of one’s work be publicly owned? Or do these become public property after a certain time? It appears that saying...
The benefit of a forum for a philosopher is the immediate criticism. One can gauge from what angles his own ideas can be attacked and work to strength...
Mr. Castor: (01:08:42) I want to turn back to your opener on page five under, when you talk about in the absence of any credible explanation for the s...
At one point you’ll become bored of reading and studying other people’s philosophy and begin to create your own. There is a difference between those w...
Perhaps you’re just losing the argument. Those pangs are the cognitive dissonance. You know I still get a notification every time you respond to me, p...
I take no issue with any of that thinking except this part: “was understood to be an investigation into the Bidens”. Sure it was understood, but wrong...

It also underscores that he never sought dirt on his political opponent. He mentioned a few things regarding Ukrainian meddling, the DNC server and Bu...
None of which has to do with seeking political dirt on Joe Biden. If you’re arguing he held back aid to make sure we aren’t giving tax-payer dollars t...
Might does not make right in my estimation. I thought your thought experiment was important. As for your last paragraph, yes the questions you posed m...
