Andrew, Some good questions. I don't know all the ways in which a free society would answer these questions, but I will give you my ideas. We should of course start with 1st principles and UPB. My take on a UPB principle of land/uncreated resource is that you don't get to exclude someone from...

Unfortunately, I am usually located in a timezone that makes calling in to the Sunday show impractical. Ill be traveling to the central time zone in a few weeks (June 17), that would make it more doable, though I'm not sure I'll have proper bandwidth for skyping. Have you seen Nima's page...

I’ve been trying really hard to simplify and explain UPB in a way that makes sense to more people. I’ve had some luck with the below explanation. I feel it is a more concise way to explain UPB without having to get into the whole “I prefer truth over falsehood” thing that seems...

These are questions that seem most clear and potentially insightful to me, with respect to UPB. Can any UPB masters tell me if these do in fact hold the keys to UPB? Or if these questions can be made yet simpler? Or if there are simpler unrelated questions to meditate upon? *Can a man and a woman mutually...

I haven't officially sent a letter to my family of origin yet, but in the past two weeks I haven't responded to their texts or emails. I picked up a phone call from my father and told him I felt anxious and angry when I saw he was calling. I attempted to RTR, just repeating how I was feeling...

In much the same way, you can...

Is giving birth the initiation of force? We force our babies into existence where they will inevitably feel physical and mental pain (and pleasure of course). Is the continuity of the species universally preferable? How does it affect me that others come after I die? After I die, I won't even have...

This is meant to be a list of arguments for UPB, positive statements that support UPB, and methods of arguing for UPB. Please add to the list. Please don't argue pro or con here, but do link to discussion threads. Thx Performative contradiction - to argue against UPB is to argue for it. Two guys...

I heard a while back that most people grossly misuse the phrase "beg the question", so I decided do the sensible thing and educate myself via Wikipedia. I find this: Begging the question (Latin petitio principii , "assuming the initial point") is a type of logical fallacy in which...

I'd like to call "dibs" on being Sefan's biggest fan, next only to his wife and daughter! I listen to his teachings daily and they provide me with a great sense of comfort!! I heard about Stef via Bill Buppert, founder of Zerogov.com. Bill spoke at the Jose Guerrena memorial service...
