You cannot model meaning. And without meaning—without ends and values—you do not have economics, you have pseudoscientific astrology in disguise.

The myth of the State as protector is the most dangerous superstition - it is not your guardian, but your master.

From the time we were in school, we've been led to believe that the state is something other than it is. Sponsors: Go to OmahaSteaks.com to shop de...

War has always been the health of the State—but today, war wears many masks. It’s not just fought with guns, but with fear campaigns, financial controls, censorship algorithms, and endless 'emergencies.' Each crisis—real or manufactured—is a pretext for expanding power, deepening surveillance, and tightening the noose around peaceful people just trying to live freely. As the old systems crumble under their own contradictions, the State grows more desperate—more authoritarian—cloaking its decay in patriotic slogans and moral crusades. But no amount of control can replace what it never had: consent. Those of us who believe in liberty must not get swept up in the calls to ‘unite and obey.’ Our revolution is not one of blood and flags—it’s of withdrawal, refusal, and the quiet building of parallel systems rooted in voluntary exchange and human dignity.

It is in war that the State really comes into its own: swelling in power, in number, in pride, in absolute dominion over the economy and the society - Murray Rothbard

Life, as they say, has its ups and downs. At times, the waves may taunt you, tossing you in their swells. But take heart. It's hard to stick with it and make it on your own. But even a couple of losers can survive most things if they're together. So listen, take some advice and have children as soon as you can. Children are the best reasons for riding out life's storms. Nowadays, people say child-rearing is challenging and difficult, but we've done it from time immemorial. Children grow even without parents. So hold them close to your heart as they crawl, then walk. They'll be fine.

Our mind is one of acting persons. Our mental categories have to be understood as ultimately grounded in categories of action. … It is through actions that the mind and reality make contact.

You were not born to find meaning. You were born to see that meaning grows wherever you walk.

Existentialism stares into the abyss. Taoism sits down beside it and watches the clouds go by.
