Humanity Is The Miracle

The Revolution is Love, Obedient Drone Robot Hands a   Flower To Another Obedient Drone Robot

Nature is not fragile, delicate, and easily broken. Humanity is not evil, immoral, or a parasite on the planet. Nature is not the miracle. Humanity is the miracle! For most of human history up until the 20th century, people have lived on the brink of starvation and in abject poverty according to today’s standards. Now we can support 7.4 billion people. This was unthinkable just a few decades ago.

This overwhelming success is due to humanity’s fierce desire to thrive and prosper in the face of the unrelenting and savage reality that is the natural world. The natural resources have always been present. What has changed is the knowledge and technological tools to access, refine, and utilize these resources to the benefit of our fellow brothers and sisters. The flourishing of humanity is entirely dependent on the development and free flow of ideas in the Free Market. The more this process is facilitated the easier our lives become.

It is only through respecting each other as human beings that we can continue our magnificent journey to the stars and beyond. It requires the abandonment of antiquated and dogmatic ideas such as Nationalism, Statism, and the belief in authority. There are so many reasons for us to fail and fall into oblivion. Our existence rests upon a razor’s edge. Rejoice life every day, for the comforts you enjoy were provided to you by intrepid entrepreneurs and passionate inventors who fell in love with humanity! Fall in love, not in line!

What Is At The Root Of Self-Ownership?

Teach Non-Aggression and Self-Ownership

“What is at the root of self-ownership?”

Self-ownership is the assertion that one is responsible for one’s actions and the direct consequences of one’s actions. This is a both a tautological redundancy and a self-evident statement. If one is to rationally function in the real world one must inherently accept the idea of self-ownership. If I strangle a hobo, it is commonly understood that I get punished and not my hands, as I own my hands and all the actions they perform. Moreover I also must own the death of the hobo as that is the direct result of my actions.

To state “I do not own myself” is to be committing a performative contradiction. One must first claim self-ownership in order to then claim one rejects self-ownership. Furthermore, if one claims to reject self-ownership or that humans do not possess it, who does? That is, who is responsible for the actions of immoral and wicked actions if not the individuals who are committing the actions? God, Mother Nature, the collective, Shiva, Buddha, Jesus Christ? Someone must be held accountable for evil. Diffusion of responsibility is one of the greatest scourges to plague humanity and has allowed for the most horrific atrocities. When everyone is to blame, no one is to blame. The assumption of individual self-ownership is the foundation of a civilized society.

 

Whose property is my body? Probably mine. I so regard it. If I experiment with it, who must be answerable? I, not the State. If I choose injudiciously, does the State die? Oh, no.

Mark Twain

Every national border in Europe, marks the place where two gangs of bandits got too exhausted to kill each other anymore and signed a treaty. Patriotism is the delusion that one of these gangs of bandits is better than all the others.

What Is Money? Is It Immoral?

Fiat Money vs. Real Money

“What is money? Is it immoral?”

 

First of all there must be a clear distinction between currency vs. money. Currency is something that is portable, durable, divisible, fungible, medium of exchange, and a unit of account. Historically many things have been used as currency such as cows, sea shells, beads, exotic bird feathers, spices, sugar, salt, copper, cigarettes, lumber, nails, stamps, candy etc. They have all come and gone for various reasons such as lack of coincidence of wants, lack of common measure of value, lack of standard of deferred payment, difficulty in storing wealth, and indivisibility of goods. This is an extended topic in itself.

 

Money contains all these characteristics plus being a store of value over a long period of time. This singularly significant attribute is what catapults money light years ahead of currency. Over thousands of years of voluntary consensual trade, gold and silver have emerged as superbly suited. They have been chosen through the natural selection of the market as the preferred commodity to facilitate trade. This function has been served splendidly until agents the State took control of it, thereby subverting these most enviable characteristics and perverting them to fulfill the wicked desires of those in power.

 

 

Second of all a clear distinction must be made between forced vs. natural currency. Forced currency is that which occurs by State decree or legislative mandate. It is the most horrid of all forms of currency as it exists only to serve its master, the State. Natural currency is chosen by free people to trade in but which is eventually abandoned due to its inability to satisfy all the needs of a successful currency.

 

Money is simply a tool to facilitate trade. It easily transfers value from one party to another for the purposes of a transaction. It is one of the most useful and beneficial of all human inventions. It’s existence should be celebrated not maligned.
