I don't know of any other system that regulates the economy as good as capitalism and retain a certain amount of functional order.
Also we have been better off with it than other systems. So my support still remains.

2019-11-02 01:54:51 UTC  

Also The State only has few function under a true free market

2019-11-02 01:55:09 UTC  

You don't have to fear the things you are seeing today

2019-11-02 01:55:32 UTC  

Believe you are sending me hypotheticals and the same on my area.

2019-11-02 01:56:20 UTC  

I don't we have demonstrated how we will get a proper society where we will not have unwanted things we have today.

2019-11-02 01:59:03 UTC  

@Cúchulainn Moralist Grandpa lol
I don't particularily limit myself to one mode of thought.
My support for capitalism a strong support of private property which you guy's think is force and oppression.
I do not agree with the anarchists and communists here.
Otherwise I share all the values, at I can say mostly.
Now for the morality part, tell if there is no moral society would really want to live in it.

2019-11-02 01:59:34 UTC  

Also you deny human nature? What basis do you have for your claim.

2019-11-02 01:59:42 UTC  

There is no evidence for human nature

2019-11-02 01:59:45 UTC  

I must say you live in cave or something

2019-11-02 01:59:47 UTC  

It is nonsense

2019-11-02 01:59:49 UTC  

Hah

2019-11-02 01:59:57 UTC  

There is

2019-11-02 02:00:01 UTC  

Nonsense invented and imposed by the ruling class to preserve the status quo

2019-11-02 02:00:11 UTC  

It's quite observable

2019-11-02 02:00:39 UTC  

How do you presume they control you so well if you didn't have a nature?

2019-11-02 02:00:42 UTC  

To hell with these countless bloody anecdotes. All is the same when viewed through the proper lense, and your capitalist culture is your lens.

2019-11-02 02:01:17 UTC  

no you are trying to put me in a certain bracket

2019-11-02 02:01:18 UTC  

In what world do I require a static set of inherent behaviour in order to observe that I am being controlled?

2019-11-02 02:01:27 UTC  

You are already in a certain bracket.

2019-11-02 02:02:31 UTC  

Alright, then would you say the same for yourself.
How will I gain your kind of enlightenment then?

2019-11-02 02:02:39 UTC  

Can it be taught

2019-11-02 02:02:51 UTC  

or is innate

2019-11-02 02:02:52 UTC  

?

2019-11-02 02:02:55 UTC  

I have no enlightenment.

2019-11-02 02:03:01 UTC  

It can partially be taught, partially observed.

2019-11-02 02:03:17 UTC  

What I've learned I learned through struggle, and through paying a lot of attention for a very long time.

2019-11-02 02:03:35 UTC  

And for all I have done and said, it comes to less than a fraction of what some others have done and said.

2019-11-02 02:05:30 UTC  

Okay, I agree with what you may be pointing, but those others observations, but do they clearly represent an opposition do they or not?

2019-11-02 02:06:35 UTC  

My observations clearly represent an opposition to the sense of human nature.

2019-11-02 02:08:45 UTC  

I am similar in account only that I do not believe that human beings have a innate nature.
But do believe we share, certain characteristics that are definite to sense and not at the same.
I believe we are strongly socialized and there is a part nature too. But we don't know how much the tilt is on and on which side.
The old nature and nurture argument.

2019-11-02 02:09:13 UTC  

How much are influenced by our nature and how much are we programed to act in a certain way.

2019-11-02 02:12:09 UTC  

I don't understand how much nature or nurture has an effect on us.
There a primary nature
After that we are so complex, when it comes to ideas thought are articulation that we go way beyond the basic nature of our instinct. Even though the primary structure might be intact, but we articulate things in almost a contrary fashion.

2019-11-02 02:12:19 UTC  

Also unpredictable and random

2019-11-02 02:14:30 UTC  

So it goes

2019-11-02 02:15:31 UTC  

Also I wanted to argue with you about rationality and intellectualism, you pointed out long ago.

2019-11-02 02:15:45 UTC  

I agree with you about intellectualism

2019-11-02 02:16:04 UTC  

But about rationality, it's a little complicated

2019-11-02 02:16:14 UTC  

I am no position to defend it

2019-11-02 02:16:21 UTC  

I don't know much yet

2019-11-02 02:17:25 UTC  

But I feel reason, is a sort of guide way or method. Not a particular world view.
It's not always accurate and may not be the same thing for many people.

2019-11-02 02:17:38 UTC  

WAIT before all this
