I listened to the determinism discussion today. I couldn't help myself to comment on it. I'm not a determinist but I needed to comment. The issue is mere semantics. From what I gathered Stef has deduced that choice is an emergent property - humans are able to compare pleasure with pain and therefore...

The market developed the credit score for assessing financial trustworthiness. Could it likewise assign degree of accountability for actions and harshness of penalties, and bestow permissions/priviledges? Two edged sword - you'd want to score high to buy guns, booze, and a house but low to get a...

Hello everybody! I’ve been an avid listener of FDR for almost 2 years now. I became a donator maybe about 8 months ago but hadn’t gotten around to getting on the forums until the beginning of this year. Even still, it’s taken me this long to make my first post - long overdue. I finally...

[quote user="DaProle"] In order to state that God doesn't exist we have to have absolute knowlege which we don't have. The most scientific statement I could think of would be that science can neither confirm nor deny the existance of God. Isn't this un-scientific simply deny the...

I listened to last Sunday's (1/20) podcast today and in the long discourse regarding the shitstorm over Stef's "$2 donation" lament on Facebook, he also lamented the 1-2% rate of money donors compared with podcast listeners. He compared them with the (presumably) much higher rate of...

Hello I'm brand new to the board here, although I've been listening/watching Stefan on Youtube for a while. My journey to anarchism and specifically anarcho-capitalism came through conservativism, I was an evangelical Christian conservative throughout my young adulthood. My introduction to Christianity...
