He seems concrete bound

2019-02-13 00:05:00 UTC  

I might check him out eventually to larger extent

2019-02-13 00:05:44 UTC  

Does he every advocate for a morality for capitalism?

2019-02-13 00:06:03 UTC  

Read him. You won't be disappointed.

2019-02-13 00:06:44 UTC  

interesting that that book is free to read lol

2019-02-13 00:07:06 UTC  

Damn

2019-02-13 00:07:22 UTC  

Everything in the Mises library is free.

2019-02-13 00:07:26 UTC  

This guy is better than I expected from someone who's not an Objectivist

2019-02-13 00:08:49 UTC  

Hes still concrete bound though

2019-02-13 00:10:40 UTC  

What isn't concrete-bound?

2019-02-13 00:11:44 UTC  

Ayn Rand saw the events and the ideas and why they happened and could pinpoint the exact philosophical problems

2019-02-13 00:12:01 UTC  

Same with Peikoff

2019-02-13 00:12:06 UTC  

All of those gay people who marched for gay marriage couldn't accomplish shit! Why is it legal now? Because people made a law against it, and it was brought to court and found to be unconstitutional. The unintended consequences are what undermines our country.

2019-02-13 00:12:30 UTC  

Objectivists would probs prefer Rothbard over Mises.

2019-02-13 00:13:05 UTC  

Why is Donald Trump president? Because the leftists continued to insult people and shut them out. Trump gave them a voice.

2019-02-13 00:13:32 UTC  

Trump is president because we rejected principles

2019-02-13 00:13:43 UTC  

Hes a pragmatist

The swing of the pendulum, and the backlash against any force will nearly always end up reversing progress.

2019-02-13 00:14:58 UTC  

Of course pragmatism is the result of Kant's attack on reason more specifically existence, identity, and consciousness

2019-02-13 00:15:06 UTC  

Build the iron curtain.

2019-02-13 00:16:31 UTC  

Sounds like a misreading of kant tbh.

2019-02-13 00:16:45 UTC  

No, its not

2019-02-13 00:16:57 UTC  

Have you never talked to a Skeptic before?

2019-02-13 00:17:18 UTC  

Did you read kant, or just hear about his views from a leftist?

2019-02-13 00:17:36 UTC  

Yes, I have read some of his stuff

2019-02-13 00:18:05 UTC  

Kant didnt go all the way but he opened the way to it

2019-02-13 00:18:30 UTC  

Good discussion gents. I really have to get back to my studies. My autodidactic side is conflicting with my procrastinating side.

2019-02-13 00:21:39 UTC  

@halfthink Have you read any philosophers?

2019-02-13 00:21:57 UTC  

You never answered my question unless I skimmed over your answer

2019-02-13 00:22:14 UTC  

Yes.

2019-02-13 00:22:22 UTC  

Which ones?

2019-02-13 00:23:38 UTC  

Spinoza, Hume, Kant, Mises, Rothbard, Hoppe are some.

2019-02-13 00:24:23 UTC  

Others too, but not whole books.

2019-02-13 00:26:19 UTC  

I wouldn't count any of the Hegelians or postmodernists as philosophers, but I have read some of those too.

2019-02-13 00:26:42 UTC  

Hegel was a philosopher

2019-02-13 00:26:52 UTC  

Nah. Hegel was noise.

2019-02-13 00:27:03 UTC  

What do you mean?

2019-02-13 00:27:11 UTC  

Incoherent.

2019-02-13 00:27:21 UTC  

Meaningless.

2019-02-13 00:27:30 UTC  

Kant was incoherent
