Shadow of the Austrians: Researchers Making Similar Conclusions to AE Economists

[ladyattis]

@AxiomaticLiberty Pretty much. Just as the ideas of a secular state were first put forward by Locke, Hobbes, and company. Anarchy as a general concept needs to be put forward in a coherent fashion to stimulate discussion on the matter of alternatives to the current operation of society.

@ladyattis Please ladyattis can you make a video response to his recent vid watch?v=V3SQuFB_LxM&feature=ch­annel_video_title and SLOWLY explain to him that empiricism as a methodology is not always valid for every human discipline(i.e. mathematics, ethics, philosophy etc) and that the peer review culture is very much prone to corruption more than what is believed . I would myself but he blocked me from his channel(on both yt accounts).

[ladyattis]

@Pentazoid111 He's making the accusation that I'm FE's troll-operative. I'm done with him. Maybe when he takes a xanax or something, then we can discuss this further.

[Christ724]

@Pentazoid111 I think he definitely overreacted with this latest video. I can't say I blame him too much though, seeing as FE has a billion sock puppets and cult followers, it's just really surprising that he would lump you with them. =/

[fringeelements]

@Christ724 lolwut? Name one sock puppet I have. And what's a "cult follower"? I make videos and write blogs and have people who generally agree with me. This is stupid.

[TennesseeOwnsMyBones]

@fringeelements That is correct... It is stupid anyone would agree with you.

BrainPolice:"You obviously have bots and several different accounts in your subscribers, theres no way you got that popular within a few weeks." You: "Oh no, somebody call the WHAMbulance for this guy down here. Suck it up buddy, the odds are against me and im just evening them out"

You don't know what a cult follower is? Wow, you must be super retarded

[ladyattis]

@AxiomaticLiberty I don't think they would form in the current civilization because the social institutions and norms are not present to facilitate such a transition. If anything, it could lead to conditions worsening if we dismantled the State.

[ladyattis]

@AxiomaticLiberty I think that governmental interventions are ultimately doomed to fail on the grounds that human beings are not farsighted. And really, no human being can be farsighted on complex matters. The best one can hope to do is to diffuse the impact of bad decisions, so that the social costs are minimal. That may include regulation and even deregulation, but it doesn't include necessarily the abolition of polity entirely.

@AxiomaticLiberty lol

[ghostbuddy]

I posted three comments, and he blocked me within a couple of minutes. No discussion - no debate - not so much as a warning. Really lame.

[ladyattis]

@AxiomaticLiberty That all government intervention is bad and that big business is good in all cases. This is where my views veer left from LvMI.

[ladyattis]

@Ujamesl978 Half-way through the video. It's a hasty generalization that some people make because it seems LvMI makes similar statements. What makes LvMI different, and possibly more dangerous, is that it doesn't explicitly advocate any position in terms of political policy.

[Audiofalcon7]

@AxiomaticLiberty Do you have peer-reviewed, scientific journals to prove this point, or am I suppose to take it on faith?

[Audiofalcon7]

About to take my own stab, as well. Thank you. Wonderful video. :)

Add an 'l' on the end of the econtalk url.

Great vid.

@machwon Thanks, I suck at copy and paste.
