@freepatriot My man, deregulating in order to reduce construction costs would actually make sense. We can’t have things that make sense. Because Whites naturally thrive in sensible circumstances; and so any/all circumstances must be rendered senseless by every possible means at the State’s disposal.

@reallyangry @KingOfWhiteAmerica @freepatriot No zoning and no building permits required outside municipal areas/city limits are a big reason why many rural parts of Texas have stayed majority white for such a long time. As a property owner, the only things you need a permit for in much of rural Texas are if you want to drill a well or install a septic tank on a property <10ac or in a water mgmt area.

@KingOfWhiteAmerica @freepatriot without regulations you'd basically have white people building their own homes and niggers living in mud huts can't have that.

@h4890 @kibcol1049 @Jonricha You are right to demand empirical proof. In science, theory and empirical data (experimental observation) work side by side. Ultimately, theory provides the explanation, but it must be supported by the data. Sometimes, that data can be very hard to collect. Maybe a new instrument is needed, and it must be invented first. That might take a very long time. If a theory is inherently untestable, it doesn’t contribute to science. Skepticism is healthy.
@meltedcheese @kibcol1049 @Jonricha Agreed! We have a harmonious and spiritual meeting of the minds here!

@freepatriot The problem is, how to get out without leaving things in a worse state than they were before Trump began. This is problematic.
Obviously we cannot accept an illegal tax on all boats through the strait. That problem has to be permanently solved before leaving, and since Trump created the mess, he has to fix it.

At the core of anarcho capitalist thought, is an emphasis on self-ownership and the non-aggression principle. Under the latter, individuals are free to go about their lives provided that they do not violate other people’s rights. That means people’s persons or property would be secured from external aggression.
This logic doesn’t just apply to interactions between individuals but also between society and the state.
@freepatriot This is the truth! Apply the thought experiment of private ownership, to things, and to yourself, and deduce your life and ethics from there, and you will discover the only ethical way to run your own life and society. In fact, one of the few, if perhaps only, way that is not ultimately based on violence and force.
I never managed to appreciate Wagner Operas until AI recommended me not to listen to them, but to experience the whole Opera with the visuals as well. Obvious perhaps, but not to me.
So I did. I downloaded The Ring and boy was it better on video with subtitles. I am surprised at how music which I always thought was bland and boring in isolation, all of a sudden fit perfectly with the scene and the setting.
I'm very happy I gave it a new chance. Currently half way through the rung cycle! =)
@meltedcheese @kibcol1049 @Jonricha The cure is after all very easy. Demand empirical proof, like science has always done. If this test is consistently applied, before "enobling" theories with the stamp of science, then a lot of these problems will vanish.
Today, billions are poured into nonsense since there is no empirical grounding.
@meltedcheese @kibcol1049 @Jonricha Read again my man. Yes, I do not doubt that physicists strive to find analogies and metaphors, but the probem is that many people are starting to believe that the map is the territory, and that is a serious error.
If physicists cannot communicate without making it seem that they have discovered parallel universes ,then perhaps they shouldn't communicate at all until better ways of explaining are found?
Right now, this is basically destroying science.
@kibcol1049 @Jonricha @meltedcheese Add to that the problem that modern science often leaves empirical evidence behind, in favour of "model wanking".
This is especially common in "climate science" and in theoretical physics, giving us such nonsense as multiple worlds and dimensions which some people seem to take a literal truth.
And don't even get me started on the environmentalists, the biggest sinners of them all.

@meltedcheese @kibcol1049 Honestly though, “follow the science” or “trust the science” are phrases that grate on me a bit, because they imply that the scientific consensus is always clear, unbiased and final, which it isn’t. Certainly, our sensationalist media make everything worse by glomming onto whatever latest (perhaps poorly done) study will get clicks. And some people are blockheads and ignore an overwhelming body of evidence, e.g. for global warming. But even…
@kibcol1049 Brilliant! Farage, like Trump, has gods protection!
