Ya think it's easy?

“A wary dog was neglected. A mean dog was abused. But a friendly dog grows love by loving, and he’s yearning to love you, too.”

The ideal of rational political philosophy is to achieve a stable equilibrium maximizing individual liberty and minimizing mob tyranny. But the way that is done is with stable, father-led, monogamous families. That is how trust is engendered – by literally imprinting moral goodness into us before we are capable of informed discretion – and it comes into existence in no other way.

Libertarianism-writ-large idealizes the well-fathered past without knowing it, seeking to replicate the consequences without the cause – just like any other Ci cargo-cult. It exclusively seeks Ci solutions to the on-going Ds problem – the emasculation of fatherhood.

Doesn’t matter in the long run – Ds wins – but all of libertarianism-writ-large looks like a psyop to me by now: Mountains of unreadable books, effectively zero reproduction. Ci is at war with human identity, and to the extent it is Ci, so is libertarianism.

In this context, crypto-currencies are an ineffectual and strategically-inverted stop-gap, much like freezing eggs: Better money will not buy you better fathers – the source of tomorrow’s wealth.
