Evolution and Economics/Anarchism

Borodog, an extremely insightful poster at the 2+2 politics forums, wrote this article that I think is extremely useful if you’re a believer in evolution and an atheist but having trouble with ideas of a stateless society (like I was about a year ago): First, I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Hans Hoppe, [...]

"We should take our ignorance more seriously"

I just overheard this quote, I don’t know who said it, but I think it’s great.

People who don’t go out clubbing and take these drugs probably didn’t even know they were on the market, such was the total lack of disturbance they wrought on communities but [...]
