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.
Objectivists would probs prefer Rothbard over Mises.
Why is Donald Trump president? Because the leftists continued to insult people and shut them out. Trump gave them a voice.
Trump is president because we rejected principles
Hes a pragmatist
The swing of the pendulum, and the backlash against any force will nearly always end up reversing progress.
Of course pragmatism is the result of Kant's attack on reason more specifically existence, identity, and consciousness
Build the iron curtain.
Sounds like a misreading of kant tbh.
No, its not
Have you never talked to a Skeptic before?
Did you read kant, or just hear about his views from a leftist?
Yes, I have read some of his stuff
Kant didnt go all the way but he opened the way to it
Good discussion gents. I really have to get back to my studies. My autodidactic side is conflicting with my procrastinating side.
@halfthink Have you read any philosophers?
You never answered my question unless I skimmed over your answer
Yes.
Which ones?
Others too, but not whole books.
I wouldn't count any of the Hegelians or postmodernists as philosophers, but I have read some of those too.
Hegel was a philosopher
Nah. Hegel was noise.
What do you mean?
Incoherent.
Meaningless.
Kant was incoherent
Kant started post modernism
You definitely get your ideas of Kant from the left.
The left took Kant to its logical extreme
Except not exactly as the only way to accept his ideas is to shut your mouth, expound no theories and die
If you cant trust your senses or reason, there is no way to know anything
Try reading this, it's only 2 hours and will give you a very different take on Kant than you will get from the left.

Just summarize it
It basically is a summary. Can't condense it much further.
I might watch it eventually but 2 hours is quite long
For philosophy, that's pretty damn short.
Have you read The Critique of Pure Reason?
Most of it.
