“Und doch weiß ich nicht, was (…) verhängnisvoller (…) ist, die Kriegstragödie oder die Geldkomödie.” - Argentarius
“Es werden wohl immer nur ganz Vereinzelte sein, die erkennen, dass zu wenig Geld ein Widersinn ist. Geld ist der Maßstab, nach dem sich die vorhandenen Güter auf die Bevölkerung verteilen, und man kann die einzelnen Gü-terportionen nur vergrößern, indem man die Gütermenge erhöht, nicht aber, indem man den Maßstab verlängert.” - Argentarius #GM
Every time I think about NAP and argumentation ethics, I think about the the Impossibility of arguing for Initiatory Violence. Maybe that’s trivial but I have never read it in a clear and simple term. Maybe you finde the following valuable: The Impossibility of Arguing for Initiatory Violence To argue for something means to justify it as generally acceptable. This implies that I would have to accept it even if I myself were affected by it. Initiatory violence, however, is by definition an action taken without or against the consent of the affected party. It excludes consent. Anyone who claims to support initiatory violence would therefore have to accept being subjected to it themselves. Yet this is impossible: Either the affected party consents, in which case it is not violence. Or they do not consent, in which case, by definition, one cannot support it. It follows that initiatory violence can be carried out, but it cannot be consistently endorsed or defended through argument. Any attempt to do so collapses conceptually. @Max Isn’t this a descriptive, logical truth that nonetheless imposes normatively binding rules? Sometimes this thought feels important sometimes I think it’s trivial :D
Which privacy score you are using normally? f.e. Last time when I used “maximize” privacy the value was 37. In this post you say 50 is sufficient for a forensic analysis, so the default from Wasabi was lower…
“It is to be pointed out, however, that protectionism, socialism, and communism are basically the same plant in three different stages of its growth.” - Bastiat
“[Law] has acted in direct opposition to its proper end; it has destroyed its own object; it has been employed in annihilating that justice which it ought to have established, (…) it has converted plunder into a right, that it may protect it, and lawful defense into a crime, that it may punish it.” - The Law, Bastiat
“Under customary law, individuals had reciprocal incentives to recognize their rules of obligation and to participate in enforcement of such rules. The adversarial nature of authoritarian law that pits group against group in the taking/transfer process promotes disorder rather than order. Indeed, under government law, individuals have incentives not to participate in a cooperative effort to maintain order.” - Bruce L. Benson
Only the sick eye constantly turns toward the self; the healthy eye looks outward, toward the world and toward others. #GM
„When justice becomes discretionary it becomes arbitrary.“ - Bruce L. Benson #GM
“Doch auch Gewaltherrschaft ist ohne Macht, die Geister gefügig formt, nicht denkbar. Wer Gewalt im politischen Verbande anwenden oder zur Verwendung bereit halten will, muss sich auf das freiwillige Mitwirken von Menschen stützen können. Er muss, in einem Verbande Macht-herrschaft ausüben, um in der Unterstützung durch diesen Verband die Mittel zu finden, die ihn zur Vergewaltigung anderer Menschen in einem größeren Ver-bande befähigen. Der Einzelne kann, allein auf sich gestellt, nie Gewaltherrschaft ausüben. Der Tyrann muss über eine Gefolgschaft oder Garde verfügen, die kraft einer Ideologie seinem Befehle freiwillig folgt. Ihr freiwilliger Gehorsam bietet ihm den Gewaltapparat, dessen er zur Unterdrückung der anderen bedarf. Ob es ihm gelingen mag, mit Hilfe dieses Gewaltapparats seine Herrschaft dauernd aufrechtzuerhalten, hängt von dem zahlenmäßigen Verhältnis der beiden Gruppen ab, derer, die sich ihm freiwillig zur Verfügung stellen, und derer, die er vergewal-tigt. Obwohl ein Tyrann vorübergehend durch eine Minderheit regieren kann, wenn diese Minderheit bewaffnet ist und die Mehrheit nicht, kann auf die Dauer eine Minderheit die Mehrheit nicht vergewaltigen. Die Unterdrückten werden aufstehen und das Joch abschütteln.” Ludwig von Mises
@Max Can the law of comparative advantage be considered a praxeological a priori law if it depends on the empirical assumption of human heterogeneity (as this is one of the most important praxeological (?) laws, as it is the glue for a peaceful social society and the division of labor instead of favoring aggression of the strongest) ?
