I don’t care if this has already been posted. Watching the MSM have an absolute meltdown over their ‘realization’ of Biden’s mental capacity has been so enjoyable.

Birth control is party of the patriarchy. I’ve never met a woman who was forced to take birth control. Required readings. Bunch of Marxist shit thrown in too.

The Thought → The Act → The End

• Privacy → Reciprocity → Autonomy
• Conformity → Entitlement → Uniformity
• Servility → Theft → Hierarchy

We cannot separate the outcome entirely. This is because the Individual values some outcome and each Individual is different.

Privacy-Reciprocity

The private Individual earns. He also owes debts. He interacts with others reciprocally, which means he trades or disassociates. If others do the same, the end result is autonomy of the Individuals. Exchanges or trade result in unity. Failed exchanges result in disassociation. The ability to disassociate results in progress as non-beneficial exchanges do not occur.

In both cases of exchange or disassociation, autonomy is the result.

Privacy → Reciprocity → Autonomy

Conformity-Entitlement

The Conformist does not earn but takes. Usually the Conformist takes via entitlement, or demands that the Group takes on his behalf. The end is Uniformity as the self interests of the Individual are absorbed into the interests of the group. Uniformity is the minimizing of differential outcome, in ownership and in contract.

One cannot be known to be conforming in private.

Entitlement cannot exist in reciprocity, and vice versa.

Uniformity is not unity.

Conformity → Entitlement → Uniformity

Servility-Theft

The Servile (or dominant) does not earn but takes. More specifically, the Servile takes via theft, or hopes his master will take for his benefit. The end is Hierarchy as self interests of the servile are dominated by the powerful. Hierarchy is maximizing differential outcome, in ownership and in contract.

One cannot be known to be servile in private.

Theft cannot exist in reciprocity, and vice versa.

Hierarchy is not merit.

Servility → Theft → Hierarchy

The Individual Chooses

The extent to which an Individual can change in thought (privacy vs conformity vs servility) is up to the Individual. A person can claim to not being conforming, yet if that person appeals to Democratic processes, majority claims, and other appeals of legitimacy via Group, then that person is conforming. A person can claim to not be servile, yet if that person appeals to Representative processes, Experts, or specific State officials, and other appeals of legitimacy via Dominance, then that person is servile.

The extent to which an Individual acts is the extent to which he/she is that act. A person can claim to not being entitled, yet if that person demands that the Top or the Successful be taken from, then that person is entitled. A person can claim to not believe in theft, yet if that person supports or submits to masters that rob, then that person believes in theft.

The Individual chooses to be a private, conforming, or servile Individual.

The Individual chooses the means of reciprocity, entitlement, or theft

Let's talk about the bottled water industry from a market perspective. We've got a product that's essentially identical (H2O), yet there's a huge variety of brands at wildly different price points.

Is this a triumph of marketing over substance? A demonstration of the power of branding? Or perhaps a market inefficiency waiting to be corrected?

Curious to hear some points of view.... Is there a libertarian take on the economics of water?

Trying to think of a good drinking game for the debates, since there is no way you can watch sober. Who has any good rules?

I'll start with some I've been thinking of:

1. Take a drink if Trump says he did something "The best" during his presidency. Extra drink if it was actually the worst
2. Finish if Moderators/Biden use the term "convicted felon" to describe Trump
3. Chug beer if by end of debate the national debt is not brought up by anyone on stage
