Hasidic Jews and the Bane of Humanity

Posted on September 16, 2017 by Danilo

Is it immoral and evil for Hasidic Jews to populate a region, take over control of town and State governments, get on school board of education, and slowly reform the public school system?

No because there is no moral way to utilize the State at any level. The problem is not that bad people take control of the guns of “government”. The problem is that the State exists at all. The problem is that people believe that the State AKA the initiation of force can solve any complex societal problem.

It is not that some are unfit to rule, all are unfit to rule. We do not condemn the lioness for hunting and killing gazelle. It is in their nature. We must not condemn those who seek to use State power to advance their own ends because it is in their nature. The problem is not who sits on the throne. The problem is that the throne exists at all.

Tragedy of the Commons and Potato Chips

Posted on September 4, 2017 by Danilo

An analogy can be drawn of the tragedy of the commons as it relates to giving many children a pile of chips and letting them free to fight for the chips. Everyone hordes as many chips as possible for himself/herself. The strong always beat the weak and take the most, fighting often ensues.

The solution is private property where everyone is allotted a specific amount of chips, no fighting ensues. Everyone understands that there is no public pile of chips to fight over.

In a world of scarce resources and infinite desires there must be a rational way to allocate these scarce resources so their value is not wasted and plundered. Private ownership by means of 1st user rights, homesteading, or gifting may solve this problem. Individuals take care of their property and ensure that it remains viable and sustainable for future use.

Kids Are Born Anarchists

Posted on August 27, 2017 by Danilo

Kids enter this world not knowing authority, laws, taxes, or regulations. Their true nature abhors such spiritual restrictions. They are endowed with abundant curiosity for the unknown and a profound fascination for the simple. Their mind knows no bounds. All is possible.

It is our job, as parents, to encourage this delightful wonder into as many aspects of life as possible. The extent to which we impose what we believe is necessary for them to learn is the extent to which we destroy this fragile beauty. The gorgeous flower can only be appreciated by leaving it be. Once it is picked, the deathly wilt has already begun. Enjoy the magnificent by leaving it be. Kids will thrive when left uninterrupted. Success and mastery are natural consequences of an unimpeded curiosity.

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.

Frederick Douglass

Suffering Is The Greatest Teacher

Posted on August 20, 2017 by Danilo

Many of us tend to shy away from and avoid suffering, hardship, and pain. It is only natural since our bodies are constructed to desire pleasure and shun discomfort. It is our biological imperative.

Nevertheless sometimes it becomes necessary to override our limbic system base desires in order to attain a nobler goal. Forward thinking and the ability to contemplate abstract thoughts allows human beings to plan and execute complex strategies. This is the genesis of the great wealth that has been created that has lifted so many out of their default state of poverty. This is the enduring legacy of our forefathers.

The deferral of gratification is what separates the human being from the beast. You are part of a great human tradition.

The soul would have no rainbow, if the eyes had no tears.

Native American proverb
