"It is the Communists' intention to make people think that personal success is somehow achieved at the expense of others and that every successful man has hurt somebody by becoming successful. It is the Communists' aim to discourage all personal effort and to drive men into a hopeless, dispirited, gray herd of robots who have lost all personal ambition, who are easy to rule, willing to obey and willing to exist in selfless servitude to the State." - Ayn Rand, "Screen Guide for Americans," *Plain Talk*, Nov. 1947, 39

"How ironic that monarchism was destroyed by the same social forces that kings had first stimulated and enlisted when they began to exclude competing natural authorities from acting as judges: the envy of the common men against their betters, and the desire of the intellectuals for their allegedly deserved place in society." - Hans-Hermann Hoppe, "Natural Elites, Intellectuals, and the State" (2006), *Mises Institute* https://mises.org/mises-daily/natural-elites-intellectuals-and-state #AnCap #Libertarian #Antistate #Etatism #Ownership #VoluntaryExchange #Aristocracy #Quotestr

Compulsory education is enslavement.

In a meritocratic society that is dominated by private ownership and voluntary exchange, there is bound to be a group of people that will rise to power as "natural elites" or a "natural order" due to being very trustworthy, competent, and productive. In contrast, a democratic society where people are elected will often have them without these traits, leading to the detriment of everybody's lives as they are always at risk of expropriation.

The problem with democracy is that it invites both those who are productive and non-productive to participate, and thus anyone who has skin in the game has to bear the responsibility for those who don't. It is the ultimate tragedy of the commons.

I wonder how Liara T'Soni would feel if I gave her a copy of Human Action.

If I had $5 for every time someone took Hoppe out of context I would be able to pay off the national debt.

As woke as it is, Mass Effect sure can be based sometimes.

"Mathematics has a significance in the natural sciences altogether different from what it has in sociology and economics. This is because physics is able to discover empirically constant relationships, which it describes in its equations...Whatever can be established in this way [for human action] has only historical significance, whereas the ascertainment of the specific gravity of different substances, for example, has universal validity." - Ludwig von Mises, ***Epistemological Problems of Economics*** (2003) p. 128-129 https://library.freecapitalists.org/books/Ludwig%20von%20Mises/epistemological.pdf#page=209 #AustrianEconomics #Praxeology #HumanAction #Mises #Methodology #Mathematics #Epistemology #Quotestr

Equality is intended to be used as a measurement, not a moral standard needing to be met. And even when it is used for measuring, it is unreliable because of the fact that quantitative relationships cannot be shown from purposeful behavior. Equality may sound like a good idea, but it's always important to look at the context first before determining whether it is good or not.
