Yaron Brook hits the nail on the head while critiquing Yuval Harari, from a talk a few years ago. The bureaucratic leaders believe in fabricating narratives that have no incentive nor requirement to align with reality, based on some limited, echo-chamber assumption of the 'greater good'. Since they don't believe in truth and logic, their only solution is forcing everyone onboard a top-down narrative that they have crafted, regardless of its faults, problems and harms that can be objectively predicted and observed. Without listening to critique or paying attention to consequences. #Objectivism #AynRand #YaronBrook #Liberty #Individualism #Woke #Wokeness #WEF #Yuval #Harari #YuvalHarari #Agenda21 #Agenda2030 #Bitcoin

Average monthly surface temperatures 1940 - 2024. Slightly more mild winters at the tail end of an ice age is what the alarmists refer to as a global climate armageddon. #Climate #ClimateAlarmism #GlobalWarming #Propaganda #Agenda21 #Agenda2030 Credit: Pedro Domingos

"If any man's money can be taken by a so-called government, without his own personal consent, all his other rights are taken with it; for with his money the government can, and will, hire soldiers to stand over him, compel him to submit to its arbitrary will, and kill him if he resists." / Lysander Spooner (Credit: Stephen Ituruka) #Quote #LysanderSpooner #Lysander #Spooner #PropertyRights #Property #Rights #Liberty #Freedom #IndividualRights #Individual#Liberty #Individualism #SelfDefence #AynRand #Objectivism #JohnLocke #Bitcoin #Libertarian #Libertarianism

A Polish 19th century building in Warsaw was revently restored to its pre-war condition. This perfectly illustrates the value of good architecture. Suddenly the facade exudes space and elegance. The prior flatness was reminiscent of a prison wall. Credit: Stefan Tompson #Architecture #Art #Brutalism #Aesthetics #Poland

--- Ayn Rand vs DEI --- Article by Nikos Sotirakopoulos. ----------------- "Every culture war issue is, at root, a philosophical issue. Failure to treat it as such ensures defeat; now, or in the not-so-distant future. Case study: DEI. How mainstream philosophy sees DEI, and why an objectivist lens is the alternative: Metaphysics DEI says: Out there are are groups, tribes, collectives; pools from which individuals/avatars-of-their-identity will be chosen. Objectivist view: only individuals exist, think & act. Such individuals can form teams and cooperate, but every act is an act of an individual. Application contra DEI: any work is the work of individuals, not of ‘representatives of groups’. Epistemology DEI says: individuals bring with them their ‘diverse experience/knowledge’. Objectivist view: human beings know via reason; thinking is a solo act of independent judgment. Application contra DEI: when you hire, you hire an individual mind. You don’t hire ‘diverse experience’. Morality DEI says: Your goal in life is promoting ‘the common good’. Objectivist view: my goal is my happiness and living my best life. I don’t sacrifice to others, and don’t want others to sacrifice to me. Application contra DEI: my work, and my business, exists to serve my goals and values. Division of labour/cooperation means I deal with other people; such dealings can exist only in a voluntary win-win context - aka the ‘trader principle’. The case study of justice DEI says: equity. ‘…to each one according to his needs’. Objectivist view: reward individuals according to if/what they contribute to your stated goal. Application contra DEI: reward people to the extent they contribute to your stated goal, as mutually agreed. Politics/economics DEI says: a business serves a ‘social goal’. Private property is ‘entrusted’ to the owner, on the condition he pursues x social goals. So your business is not really yours. And the goal of your business is chosen by others: the ‘stakeholders’. You, businessman, are a social activist for causes designated to you ('social justice', climate change etc), whether you agree with them or not. Objectivist view: I have a right to pursue my own happiness, and property rights means I can deal with my own labour/property as I fit. The goal of my business is to serve my own purposes. I cooperate with those who choose to cooperate with me, and whose interests/values align with mine. Application contra DEI: I work for my profit and the profit of my shareholders/partners. I’m not a social activist (unless I chose so, and for the causes I value). No one’s ‘stakes’ gives them a say on my business, unless it somehow directly impacts them (e.g. I’m dumping waste on their fields). That’s the only way to fight DEI. Challenging its philosophical core. 'Any disagreement that does not challenge fundamentals serves only to reinforce them' (Ayn Rand)" Source:

Alan Greenspan, Gold and Economic Freedom (1966)

This article gives a deep insight into why Bitcoin is opposed by the establishment and by hysterical socialist proponents such as Elizabeth Warren. A few excerpts: ------------------- In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. ------------------- ------------------- The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. ------------------- -------------- This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard. -------------- ------------------- "An almost hysterical antagonism toward the gold standard is one issue which unites statists of all persuasions. They seem to sense — perhaps more clearly and subtly than many consistent defenders of laissez-faire — that gold and economic freedom are inseparable, that the gold standard is an instrument of laissez-faire and that each implies and requires the other." ------------------- #Bitcoin #AlanGreenspan #AynRand #Objectivism #AustrianEconomics #Austrian #Economics #AustrianEcon #FreeMarkets #Capitalism
