My question goes to people, that claim "Taxes are theft"
Do you belief every human being, no matter what race, nationality or age, should get the opportunity for good education?
Since I totally agree to lower taxes on security expenses, which are easily targeted against the tax payer.
I am unable to see, how it could be justified that a person, which is selfsustaining, could at the same time not participate in supporting education and on the other time profit from the merit of educated people.
Independent if the person profits from services and products or scientific advances coming from educated people or the balance of power that stems from educated citizen.
It is the natural result, that families with small children have got less economic power, than working adults without children.
So where should the money come from to pay education of any form, when not from all of society?
I am all open to have diverse programs of education, which compete with eachother.
But I also highly support, that all people that make profit should participate in supporting this education.
What is the alternative, when Taxes would be no option?
Something like a Proton subscription? Where many people that can pay something, so there is a free plan, for those who can not afford it?
Can such a system ensure, that every person gets a fair opportunity to educate their mind?
I ask, since I often sympathize heavily with Anarchic systems. As many nostriches, I love the idea of sovereign individuals.
But I see also, that education is effort. And good education needs didactic.
Clearly some are more talented and might learn mostly by selfeducating.
But many people need some kind of support. A person that helps, when someone does not find a good way to a solution.

How to learn my philosophy:
Start with some critical thinking on youtube with "TEDed the deomon of reason" miniseries
Start with Immanuel Kants techings, follow stoics, also very nice to read "happy" by Derren Brown, add dao techings to it
Follow this up by Podcasts like Darknet diaries and Jon Harbinger
On Youtube watch TEDx talks, Veritassium and Huberman Lab
Chronically offended by The Beave π
Great illustration. For everyone, thinking they might want to try fasting one day π

Lets throw away the idea to support rich people. Lets not support those. They can simply pay the support they need. Lets quit the imagination, that rich people are rich for their merit.
Very rich are mostly where they are for the abuse of authority, theft and refusal to use their wealth for greater good.

Really like tat they mention the difference between economic exchange and currency exchange.
Money for a service or good offers an increase for both sides. The shopowner needs money and the client needs the apple he is buying. Both exchange a less valuable thing for a higher value thing from their perspective.
But with currency exchang it is a zero sum game. Whoever gets the coin that increases in value, will win the trade.

Here I wrote a personal summary about Marko Passioβs 9-hour presentation about natural law.
Whoever got the time, I can really encourage to listen to it too. But Marko also mentions a Book, which is named "The end of all Evil".
So it can also be a good start into the topic, to read this. Only 32 short pages. It comes with heavy claims for a selfconsidering democrat (system not the party) as I am one.
But to me it opened my eyes in a way, so I will never look on authority of any kind the same way again:
