24Jan08

From: Liberating Minds, where I post regularly… Laird wrote: I’m not sure if all the folks on the board agree with me on this, but I don’t like his whole business of being anti-social towards people with wrong or confused political views (you know, statists). Instead of showing them towards the light, we should shun [...]

22Jan08

Discussion of the internet as metaphor for anarcho-capitalism, and also, quite incidentally, Joomla 1.5 Stable’s release today! I continue to document my progress in website design, planning, and implementation, and take a break to discuss anarchy. I seem to have chosen well: Joomla 1.0.x vs. Joomla 1.5.x was a tough one. But today Joomla 1.5 [...]

Sociology finished in 3 words.

19Jan08

From a Liberating Minds discussion on “Sociology: What’s it Good For?“ Response and Intro: Some of you may get this. Others will see it as ludicrous. I don’t care! Let me debunk sociology in three words: Groups don’t exist. I’ll be signing autographs after the lecture. Thanks you very much… I think I first really [...]
