Reality is based on certain fixed absolutes. If you make a choice a certain reaction will follow. Man should use reason to understand reality and interact with it to fit his needs and desires. One aspect of reality that a lot of existentialists forget is that even though man can interact with the fixed laws of reality, he can not remove them by not acknowledging them. just because you might not desire certain aspects of reality, does not mean that the do not exits.
@Triumphit1 Yes Ayn Rand was dogmatic and 2 dimensional but it seems that she was a bit of slutty..slutty.. amphetamine addicted party gurl....
I don't say this to be judgmental..after all I still use objectivism as the means to overcoming hart ache and hedonism but it's funny to know that Ms. Rand got her ass whooped by lust every so often herself.
to succeed. this is not at all a problem for me and thus i am an avid capitalist and a steadfast christian. unfortunately, the ladder half of my last statement may make some people scoff at my remarks, but Christianity does teach its followers about how to live morally, and, as i said earlier, this is the way that society must be run. without it society collapses. i dunno why i felt like posting this but please if anyone wants to feel free to reply and share your beliefs, i am curious.
well, being an ayn rand fan myself, i do watch your video with some bias. but, your argument to me is a matter of, simply, morals. you say you must not hold yourself back and that you may live freely (at least that is what i got from your commentary), meaning that you can do whatever you wish. now, at least to me, this obviously is not right. without morals society cannot sustain. ayn rand's views are much more grounded and military-like in that you must live morally, professionally, and strive
Ayn Rand was a terrible writer and shitty foundationalist philosopher with some objective morality mystical nonsense to boot. I really do not like Ayn Rand and feel her shittiness lead to the revival of Aristotle which has led to EVEN MORE SHITTYNESS.
I am still under the impression the Rand was mentally ill. She was a damaged person who had to grow up in fucked up Russia. Also, i'm not even sure if she really just didn't fall into her whole ethos and eventually had to stick to it due to her popularity. She might have been completely full of shit. Maybe, maybe not?
Huh.. It seems like the two people took two drastic different directions in the sense of rationality. Because to be rational, it would be a good idea to be open to different prospects and ideas. But to think you don't need to, is to think you're ultimately rationality - well that's what i think.
Watch me reveal some bullshit arguments in this video and refute them:
"Ayn Rand said people cannot value irrational aspects of things, therefore she was wrong."
What is an irrational aspect? Irrational=Impossible or contradictory. It is indeed impossible to pursue (or value) something that cannot be. Valuing requires acknowledging some facts about that which you value. If you don´t know anything about it (which requires reason) you can´t value it.
@hellteackrider so now your comparing us to other animals to humans. I'm sorry your right, they have higher level thinking. Oh wait they don't. That's what separates us from them. You cant sit there and compare them to us. If you don' want government, go live in the wild
It is the fact that we have a higher level of thinking and that we allow violence and force to occur daily and we accept the notion that someone else must lead our lives ... really shows who has more of a grasp on "Thinking"...
People do not think, they are taught from the get go (Public Education) to let authority figure think for them and follow the lead...
One day you will wake up and realize the fallacy that you have been living.
But I impose mi will not to smoke on my friends because their in the 8 grade and all my points are valid they just wanna be bad boys so I should be "allowed" to force my opinion on them because they are being rtards and even if they smoke they just take It easy they smoke like three black devils a day.
I think it's somewhat irrational to try to justify the world, universe and reality, I think it is more than us, more than we can understand. At the same time, I can see why people would want to understand or justify it, people need their reasons to live, they like to think they are more important than what they are. I'm not much different though, I too want my opinion heard, even if not understood, it is all very strange to me.
I am an Objectivist. I have read nearly all of Ayn Rand's work. And I have to disagree with you. There is nothing that cannot be rationally explained, or rationally agnostic. For instance; you may wake up and seemingly for no reason want something. That desire is simply caused by a chemical balance in your body. In a few years of following Objectivism, I have failed to find anything that escapes Randian rationality.
About art, I think you got something wrong here, and it may be something that Ayn Rand got wrong too. I think that the Objectivist point would be that whenever you enjoy a work of art, there is a underlying, rational reason that you enjoy it. That artwork is symbolic for something enjoyable, or maybe even painful, in your life, whether you consciously recognize it or not. That symbolism is what causes you to enjoy the artwork.

I personally dislike Aristotle because he used his great influence over the Greek people to get people to believe what he believed. One example were his ideas about the atom, he was completely wrong yet everyone listened to him while other scientists that actually knew what they were talking about had their ideas ignored for years. This is why I dislike Ayn Rand as well. She wants everyone to believe what she believes.
Alright, now I've watched the video and i'm making a comment about how i agree with what you said. People should be able to do whatever they want, and other people shouldn't uselessly attack their morals.
@CodyAllenmusic Elitism is necessary. There needs to be something to differentiate between who is strong and who is weak. The finer things in life are not for everyone.
Elitism isnt necessary at all...Elitism is essentially what America - and all other Governments - are; this places the "power" into the "Elites" ... by doing this, you are concluding that those under control are not capable of being individuals and are destined to be slaves - because they are not in the Elite group.
@helltrackrider The powerful will be able to overcome the slavish role that they will take if they are truly powerful. If they lack power, then they will stay at the bottom as nature dictates. Humans lord over animals, so within humanity the strong must lord over the weak. Not as outright slavery, but as the inevitable outcome of every exchange.
@Shadow9392 Can you explain what you mean by a powerful person? I mean if it is someone who is tenacious, hard working and ambitious powerful, or is it that you are powerful through your intelligence, connections and education. Because if it was the latter the wealthy, or those born into wealth,will always be powerful, the former means everyone can become "powerful". That changes things.
Humans have one thing that most of nature doesnt...a Conscious.
It is the fact that one is aware of his/her own existence...aware of actions/reactions...aware of (although not in todays world - thank governments!) morality...that breaks humans apart from all of natures offerings.
Any "Lording" assumes that one being is superior to another; that ones conscious is superior to another...obviously, there is lee-way when referring to retards or other mentally incapable people.
But...this lee-way extends for beneficial purposes only to the mentally incapable as the mentally incapable are not able to perform and made profit from by being slaves.
Whereas, any full conscious human is profitable - and given that "Power" is the driving factor behind Eltism (as is it is in all forms of Government); ultimately - the Elites slave over the "weak"...this is not progress, this is not Civilization...this is unfortunately today.
@Shadow9392 Something about that makes me object. I am not convinced my objectivism, therefore I am not sure who gets to decide what makes someone "elite" and why they get to decide that. I am still in my undergrad with this though.. I would like to get a PHD in Philosophy. I can only imagine that my viewpoints will radically change in the future, lol.
@Shadow9392 Makes sense; and I do not mind that form of elitism. The form of elitism that I object to is the elitism displayed in Plato's "The Cave". Although this is completely different. Thinking about Nietsche's elitist view really doesn't seem bad if you think about it in relativistic terms as I am sure Nietsche did.
I do think that it's a problem as long as elitism comes with a humble person. just because you believe that you're better than others (i do in 99.9% of the cases i'm involved in) doesn't mean that you've got to rub it in their faces. Nietzsche maybe did this by writing but i don't believe that he was a complete ass because of his thoughts. Just because "there are no morals" doesn't mean that you can't make your own rules of living.
Philosophy doesn't interest me. Nothing has been written in a philosophy book that me or someone else for that matter is not capable of thinking on their own. Same cannot be said of a math or science book
Philosophy doesnt interest you due to Public Education...Public Education holds back Logic and Reason and Critical Thinking.
If you were to place the largest entities on Earth, Governments, into the philosphical realm - a person capable of logic, empiricism and reason would easily conclude that 1) Government is NOT necessary 2) Government is hypocritical and 3) Government is immoral
This is why Philosophy is not a mainstay in peoples lives, it would bring out the Truth.
Check out Freedomain Radio and you will be drawn to how easy something as simple as Philosophy can bring down the entire way of thought of humans today...remove the violence, aggression and force of governments and people will be free; unlike today - everyone is a slave to the Governments due to fear of violence and force.
By proper education...i mean teaching based on morality, non-violence, reasoning and allowing the "student" to conclude their own outcomes based on empirical thinking...critical thinking.
This doesnt happen in Church...this doesnt happen in School (Government Schools)...taught in these institutions is obedience, compliance, subordination to authority, collectivism...etc.
@helltrackrider lol whose morality should be taught? Your's? Jesus's? Gandhi's or Hitler's? Philosophy has existed since the dawn of time. It's not rocket science
I spent my younger years in a private catholic school. Yet I figured out religion is false before I hit puberty. And government is perfectly logical, unless you are capable of surviving independent of society. See this is where real education comes in handy, if you know the history of human evolution, collectivism played a pivotal role
Morality as in universally accepted right and wrong.
Theft...wrong
Force...wrong
Coersion...wrong
Murder...wrong
Extortion...wrong
All of these, the Government (which you seem to think is necessary) practices on a daily basis.
It is illogical to think that theft, murder, extortion and coersion is moral.
Collectivism played no role in human evolution...Collectivism came about primarily due to our conscious seeking further knowledge - How did we get here.
@helltrackrider As much as I hat to say this, Government is needed. Without it, Anarchy would take over, and no matter how much you say you want Anarchy, you don't. It's a horrible thing. Government provides structure because at the end of the day people crave it.
Is anarchy a horrible thing?...who told you this?...your teacher?
How do you conclude that something is "horrible" without factual evidence?
People do not crave structure...people "crave" happiness. Unfortunately, today ... people see that theft, murder and violence is an acceptable form to achieve happiness - thanks to the actions of Government and the justification of these actions.
Since when is it acceptable to murder someone wh has done no harm to you?
I see you are 17...5-10 years from now; you will look back and see that you were wrong - not by your fault, because this is what you were "taught" (whether from school, parents, religion or the news)...trust me, all of these are worthless when you find out what educating yourself is.
Ive been down that same road thinking that Governments are necessary; they are evil...masked as good intentions and "structure" as you say.
@helltrackrider Did I say anything about the government being good. No, not really. I hate the way this world is structured, hell I am all for changing it, however we need something to keep people in check or else we switch into survival mode and become a lot more vicious...and yes I am 17 but that hardly has anything to do about it. I think all the time about this stuff. I wish we didn't have to live this way, however, we just can't take that away
Look no further than the website you are viewing...Youtube, it is structured...this was not provided by government.
Youtube has changed over the years to meet the needs of the consumers (you and me)...as has essentially every website - without the guide or approval of the Government.
So, why can all of "society" not exist without Government?
@helltrackrider Do you think this website would be structured if not for people who reflect structure on others. Indirectly the government structured this. There are people who want to watch this world in flames, but for most they want order, because they feel afraid without it. Hell if it wasn't for structure government in the past and present has provided, there would be no internet or much else.
The "Government" didn't create anything - it doesn't create anything; at best, it destroys progress by reallocating potential investment and market wealth into the control and destruction of humanity.
Any scientist within the government are individuals; they sought out at a young age to further progress theirselves in science - they didnt ask the Government, what should i be when i grow up?
@helltrackrider Perhaps your judgement of the good intentions of people is clouding your mind. A good chunk of people are naturally evil not good. We created government, yes, but we created it because we wanted structure. Sure government has become corrupted but nevertheless we need something. Without it people get out of hand. I don't know what perfect reality you're living in but it isn't on this plane. I would love to change government, but we need it, or people loose control of themselves
You fail back to "Structure"...does any other branch of mammal, reptile or fish or whatever have structure on this Earth?...yes.
Do they have forced collectivism?...No.
Your structure argument fails...bad.
Structure, should it be necessary, would take place via voluntary interactions with each interactions entered into for one thing ... personal gain (which includes helping others - as some get personal enjoyment in this action)
The people who want to watch the world in flames...are the ones voting and pandering to the right-left paradigm; they are the people who feel as if they are entitled to another individuals labor or wealth...they are the people who feel they are supreme leaders and all shall follow...they are the people who actually think that Government is good.
@helltrackrider and those are the people who want to be able to go home safely at night. We all have the right of life and without the government they feel that there life is in jepardy(s/p), which is has the potential to be. We can't trust other to be good. I would love a government where people give and receive, but the government needs to be there to provide control, or people will want to revert to taking
@helltrackrider no that's what causes people to steal. That's the cause for most thefts. Survival. For most, others it's for the thrill, but that is a small portion. Hell that's is why we do a lot of things today. Survival
Survival would deem "Structure" necessary...people would need goods and services from others...as such, structure would form to provide these goods and services efficiently, lower cost and better product.
@helltrackrider Says who? In an anarchy structure crumbles. Production comes to a standstill. What else is there to revert to than stealing? And people like me would always be able to kill and loot the defenseless
In anrachy...production would excel...Why?...profit motive.
Structure would be driven by the need to depend on others for certain goods / services...it doesnt take a Government to provide "Structure"...not at all.
What personal gain would you get "killing the defenseless"?...the other participants would exile you and thus you could not interact or exchange with them...leaving you isolated and to provide for your own; not very beneficial.
@helltrackrider There wouldn't be any structure, b/c there wouldn't be anyone to protect it. We tend to take the path of least resistance. Stealing is much easier than producing. Your logic makes no sense. Anarchy only works for the powerful
You fail to understand...sorry, that is your fault though for not seeking out to further educate yourself.
Stealing is NOT easier than trade...stealing does not promote personal gain; stealing isolates you from everyone else...stealing removes your trust from all future interactions of which would promote personal gain.
Goods and services are essential to life and pleasure; stealing reduces the odds of recieving any future goods and services.
@helltrackrider Wow that has to your dumbest argument so far. Stealing is NOT easier than producing? Now what can I even say to that?
Stealing removes trust? You don't say. Yes goods and services are essential, and those can be attained by force, you don't need to be on good terms with someone to receive them. That's how anarchy works, there is no ethics, no morals, no law...only the powerful rule
By seeking "how did we get here" ... the inept tribes / groups of people sought to a deity - the easy solution ... and really the only solution for them, as they did not have the technology of today...from this, they deduced that they were subordinate to another entity - good bye individualism.
Others took advantage of this and claimed that they had "spoken" to the higher power, or were "sent" by the higher power...there is your history of government.
@helltrackrider lol I didn't know if to reply or laugh at the irony. All the morals you mentioned are established and maintained by the legal system..you know the government! Doubt that you'll be able to assert those in an anarchic society.
lol did you miss the day in school where they taught you that humans are social animals? Even most mammals are social, a key to survival. A trait easily observed in our fellow primates. Collectivism existed even before we had the brains to conjure up religion
Social interaction cannot occur without Government?...it occurs EVERYDAY on a voluntary basis...without the guide or approval of government.
Anarchic society doesnt mean that ordered will not exist; it removes the Authority as it is not necessary. Justice can easily be provided in an anarchic society - by competing factions; unlike the monopolistic form offered by Government.
Im not a narcissist, so i cannot say exactly "how" things will occur with the removal of Authority, but i can say Government is evil in principle and in its actions...Government is the scape goat for theft, violence and force upon individuals. Remove the term "Government" and you have One person robbing another person; one person murdering another person; one person imprisoning another person...
@helltrackrider Personally I would love the idea of a zombie apocalypse anarchy. But most won't be able to survive. lol how would there be order in an anarchy? Authority will rest with the powerful, atleast in a government, those in authority are accountable. The choice is pretty simple and logical
See...here is where you are proving that Government is evil and essentially unnecessary; it is NOT accountable for its actions.
I showed just one instance (of many) and you can find not one individual accountable...due to the protection from the term "Government"
Every soldier that willingly joined the military and willingly participated in murdering another individual is accountable; Every superior officer is accountable for aiding in murder.
@helltrackrider You have showed nothing. Many troops are in jail for war crimes. Moreover we have a pretty good system that keeps the government in check. Maybe you should read up on how it works. Sadly not many exercise their right to vote and even those that do are not very informed. That is NOT the fault of the system
Bottom line you have showed 0 reasons why anarchy with no order, justice or accountability is better than a government with accountability and order that protects liberty.
Explain...how Government protects Liberty and is Accountable for its actions...voting does nothing, the the past has shown.
Government still extorts, still murders and still coerses everyone under its "Rule"...how many votes have there been in just America's history alone?
I have told you how Anarchy would have order, justice and accountability...you are pre-determined that anarchy is "Evil" and Government is "Good"...when facts show the opposite.
@helltrackrider Well for one we have a constitution that guarantees our freedom and liberty. What does anarchy offer? I have no pre-determined notions. These are just facts
@helltrackrider Trial of peers=a jury. Income tax=outlaws slavery and involuntary servitude. Patriot Act=did not completely get rid of search privacy, but instead dramatically decreased it.
How many troops have been imprisoned for war crimes?...minimal amount compared to those that have murdered people based on the idea that they are "terrorist" and as wikileaks showed from the Governments own documents - for every labeled insurgent killed, many more innocent lives were taken....and noone to be spoken of was held accountable...matter of fact, the Government tried to villify Wikileaks and imprisoned the soldier who leaked the documents...Accountability? Try again.
@helltrackrider lol I find it ironic that you're defending anarchy yet argue for the innocent. Isn't that how anarchy works? The powerful kill the weak
Anarchy is the removal of authority...it is not the "power"ful kill the weak...as no "power" exist.
You are referring to Government...the initiation of force...this is the "powerful" kill the weak...most of the times not kill; but , exploit the weak...without consent.
@H1TMANactual Maybe you'll wake up one day and just except what we live in and realize how much time you have wasted worrying about it. If you don't like society then go live in the woods. Like I said.
Reality is based on certain fixed absolutes. If you make a choice a certain reaction will follow. Man should use reason to understand reality and interact with it to fit his needs and desires. One aspect of reality that a lot of existentialists forget is that even though man can interact with the fixed laws of reality, he can not remove them by not acknowledging them. just because you might not desire certain aspects of reality, does not mean that the do not exits.

I think it's somewhat irrational to try to justify the world, universe and reality, I think it is more than us, more than we can understand. At the same time, I can see why people would want to understand or justify it, people need their reasons to live, they like to think they are more important than what they are. I'm not much different though, I too want my opinion heard, even if not understood, it is all very strange to me.

I am an Objectivist. I have read nearly all of Ayn Rand's work. And I have to disagree with you. There is nothing that cannot be rationally explained, or rationally agnostic. For instance; you may wake up and seemingly for no reason want something. That desire is simply caused by a chemical balance in your body. In a few years of following Objectivism, I have failed to find anything that escapes Randian rationality.

About art, I think you got something wrong here, and it may be something that Ayn Rand got wrong too. I think that the Objectivist point would be that whenever you enjoy a work of art, there is a underlying, rational reason that you enjoy it. That artwork is symbolic for something enjoyable, or maybe even painful, in your life, whether you consciously recognize it or not. That symbolism is what causes you to enjoy the artwork.

I personally dislike Aristotle because he used his great influence over the Greek people to get people to believe what he believed. One example were his ideas about the atom, he was completely wrong yet everyone listened to him while other scientists that actually knew what they were talking about had their ideas ignored for years. This is why I dislike Ayn Rand as well. She wants everyone to believe what she believes.

Nietsche is the man... except for the fact that he's an elitist.
CodyAllenmusic 1 year ago
@CodyAllenmusic Elitism is necessary. There needs to be something to differentiate between who is strong and who is weak. The finer things in life are not for everyone.
Shadow9392 1 year ago 2
@Shadow9392
Elitism isnt necessary at all...Elitism is essentially what America - and all other Governments - are; this places the "power" into the "Elites" ... by doing this, you are concluding that those under control are not capable of being individuals and are destined to be slaves - because they are not in the Elite group.
Elitism is slavery...nothing more.
helltrackrider 1 year ago
@helltrackrider The powerful will be able to overcome the slavish role that they will take if they are truly powerful. If they lack power, then they will stay at the bottom as nature dictates. Humans lord over animals, so within humanity the strong must lord over the weak. Not as outright slavery, but as the inevitable outcome of every exchange.
Shadow9392 1 year ago
@Shadow9392 Can you explain what you mean by a powerful person? I mean if it is someone who is tenacious, hard working and ambitious powerful, or is it that you are powerful through your intelligence, connections and education. Because if it was the latter the wealthy, or those born into wealth,will always be powerful, the former means everyone can become "powerful". That changes things.
whosthisguythinkheis 1 year ago
@Shadow9392
Humans have one thing that most of nature doesnt...a Conscious.
It is the fact that one is aware of his/her own existence...aware of actions/reactions...aware of (although not in todays world - thank governments!) morality...that breaks humans apart from all of natures offerings.
Any "Lording" assumes that one being is superior to another; that ones conscious is superior to another...obviously, there is lee-way when referring to retards or other mentally incapable people.
helltrackrider 1 year ago
@Shadow9392
But...this lee-way extends for beneficial purposes only to the mentally incapable as the mentally incapable are not able to perform and made profit from by being slaves.
Whereas, any full conscious human is profitable - and given that "Power" is the driving factor behind Eltism (as is it is in all forms of Government); ultimately - the Elites slave over the "weak"...this is not progress, this is not Civilization...this is unfortunately today.
helltrackrider 1 year ago
@Shadow9392 Something about that makes me object. I am not convinced my objectivism, therefore I am not sure who gets to decide what makes someone "elite" and why they get to decide that. I am still in my undergrad with this though.. I would like to get a PHD in Philosophy. I can only imagine that my viewpoints will radically change in the future, lol.
CodyAllenmusic 1 year ago
@CodyAllenmusic It's not decided, it plays out naturally by those who are given superior qualities genetically and then express them to the fullest.
Shadow9392 1 year ago
@Shadow9392 Makes sense; and I do not mind that form of elitism. The form of elitism that I object to is the elitism displayed in Plato's "The Cave". Although this is completely different. Thinking about Nietsche's elitist view really doesn't seem bad if you think about it in relativistic terms as I am sure Nietsche did.
CodyAllenmusic 1 year ago
@CodyAllenmusic What's the problem with being an elitist?
I do think that it's a problem as long as elitism comes with a humble person. just because you believe that you're better than others (i do in 99.9% of the cases i'm involved in) doesn't mean that you've got to rub it in their faces. Nietzsche maybe did this by writing but i don't believe that he was a complete ass because of his thoughts. Just because "there are no morals" doesn't mean that you can't make your own rules of living.

Philosophy doesn't interest me. Nothing has been written in a philosophy book that me or someone else for that matter is not capable of thinking on their own. Same cannot be said of a math or science book
H1TMANactual 1 year ago 5
@H1TMANactual
Philosophy doesnt interest you due to Public Education...Public Education holds back Logic and Reason and Critical Thinking.
If you were to place the largest entities on Earth, Governments, into the philosphical realm - a person capable of logic, empiricism and reason would easily conclude that 1) Government is NOT necessary 2) Government is hypocritical and 3) Government is immoral
This is why Philosophy is not a mainstay in peoples lives, it would bring out the Truth.
helltrackrider 1 year ago
@H1TMANactual
Check out Freedomain Radio and you will be drawn to how easy something as simple as Philosophy can bring down the entire way of thought of humans today...remove the violence, aggression and force of governments and people will be free; unlike today - everyone is a slave to the Governments due to fear of violence and force.
helltrackrider 1 year ago
@helltrackrider Wrong. Logic doesn't require any kind of education.
H1TMANactual 1 year ago
@H1TMANactual
Logic does...being misguided and miseducated; as people are today, produces "ill-logical" people...
For instance...look at Religion and Government as prime examples...
It is illogical to "believe" that any God (or form of God) exist; It is illogical to believe that Government is moral.
Yet, how many people today believe in God?..in the morality behind Government?..Both are illogical and yet these people cannot conclude this.
Proper education would have offset this.
helltrackrider 1 year ago
@H1TMANactual
By proper education...i mean teaching based on morality, non-violence, reasoning and allowing the "student" to conclude their own outcomes based on empirical thinking...critical thinking.
This doesnt happen in Church...this doesnt happen in School (Government Schools)...taught in these institutions is obedience, compliance, subordination to authority, collectivism...etc.
helltrackrider 1 year ago
@helltrackrider lol whose morality should be taught? Your's? Jesus's? Gandhi's or Hitler's? Philosophy has existed since the dawn of time. It's not rocket science
I spent my younger years in a private catholic school. Yet I figured out religion is false before I hit puberty. And government is perfectly logical, unless you are capable of surviving independent of society. See this is where real education comes in handy, if you know the history of human evolution, collectivism played a pivotal role
H1TMANactual 1 year ago
@H1TMANactual
Morality as in universally accepted right and wrong.
Theft...wrong
Force...wrong
Coersion...wrong
Murder...wrong
Extortion...wrong
All of these, the Government (which you seem to think is necessary) practices on a daily basis.
It is illogical to think that theft, murder, extortion and coersion is moral.
Collectivism played no role in human evolution...Collectivism came about primarily due to our conscious seeking further knowledge - How did we get here.
helltrackrider 1 year ago
@helltrackrider As much as I hat to say this, Government is needed. Without it, Anarchy would take over, and no matter how much you say you want Anarchy, you don't. It's a horrible thing. Government provides structure because at the end of the day people crave it.

@XSnipeXBennyX
Is anarchy a horrible thing?...who told you this?...your teacher?
How do you conclude that something is "horrible" without factual evidence?
People do not crave structure...people "crave" happiness. Unfortunately, today ... people see that theft, murder and violence is an acceptable form to achieve happiness - thanks to the actions of Government and the justification of these actions.
Since when is it acceptable to murder someone wh has done no harm to you?

@XSnipeXBennyX
I see you are 17...5-10 years from now; you will look back and see that you were wrong - not by your fault, because this is what you were "taught" (whether from school, parents, religion or the news)...trust me, all of these are worthless when you find out what educating yourself is.
Ive been down that same road thinking that Governments are necessary; they are evil...masked as good intentions and "structure" as you say.
helltrackrider 1 year ago
@helltrackrider Did I say anything about the government being good. No, not really. I hate the way this world is structured, hell I am all for changing it, however we need something to keep people in check or else we switch into survival mode and become a lot more vicious...and yes I am 17 but that hardly has anything to do about it.

Look no further than the website you are viewing...Youtube, it is structured...this was not provided by government.
Youtube has changed over the years to meet the needs of the consumers (you and me)...as has essentially every website - without the guide or approval of the Government.
So, why can all of "society" not exist without Government?
helltrackrider 1 year ago
@helltrackrider Do you think this website would be structured if not for people who reflect structure on others. Indirectly the government structured this. There are people who want to watch this world in flames, but for most they want order, because they feel afraid without it. Hell if it wasn't for structure government in the past and present has provided, there would be no internet or much else.
XSnipeXBennyX 1 year ago
@XSnipeXBennyX
Nevermind...you are too young to comprehend.
The "Government" didn't create anything - it doesn't create anything; at best, it destroys progress by reallocating potential investment and market wealth into the control and destruction of humanity.
Any scientist within the government are individuals; they sought out at a young age to further progress theirselves in science - they didnt ask the Government, what should i be when i grow up?
helltrackrider 1 year ago
@helltrackrider Perhaps your judgement of the good intentions of people is clouding your mind. A good chunk of people are naturally evil not good. We created government, yes, but we created it because we wanted structure. Sure government has become corrupted but nevertheless we need something. Without it people get out of hand. I don't know what perfect reality you're living in but it isn't on this plane. I would love to change government, but we need it, or people loose control of themselves

You fail back to "Structure"...does any other branch of mammal, reptile or fish or whatever have structure on this Earth?...yes.

Structure, should it be necessary, would take place via voluntary interactions with each interactions entered into for one thing ... personal gain (which includes helping others - as some get personal enjoyment in this action)

@helltrackrider and those are the people who want to be able to go home safely at night.

XSnipeXBennyX 1 year ago

Survival would deem "Structure" necessary...people would need goods and services from others...as such, structure would form to provide these goods and services efficiently, lower cost and better product.
helltrackrider 1 year ago
@helltrackrider Says who? In an anarchy structure crumbles. Production comes to a standstill. What else is there to revert to than stealing? And people like me would always be able to kill and loot the defenseless
H1TMANactual 1 year ago
@H1TMANactual
In anrachy...production would excel...Why?...profit motive.
Structure would be driven by the need to depend on others for certain goods / services...it doesnt take a Government to provide "Structure"...not at all.
What personal gain would you get "killing the defenseless"?...the other participants would exile you and thus you could not interact or exchange with them...leaving you isolated and to provide for your own; not very beneficial.
helltrackrider 1 year ago
@helltrackrider There wouldn't be any structure, b/c there wouldn't be anyone to protect it. We tend to take the path of least resistance. Stealing is much easier than producing. Your logic makes no sense. Anarchy only works for the powerful
H1TMANactual 1 year ago
@H1TMANactual
You fail to understand...sorry, that is your fault though for not seeking out to further educate yourself.
Stealing is NOT easier than trade...stealing does not promote personal gain; stealing isolates you from everyone else...stealing removes your trust from all future interactions of which would promote personal gain.
Goods and services are essential to life and pleasure; stealing reduces the odds of recieving any future goods and services.
helltrackrider 1 year ago
@helltrackrider Wow that has to your dumbest argument so far. Stealing is NOT easier than producing? Now what can I even say to that?
Stealing removes trust? You don't say. Yes goods and services are essential, and those can be attained by force, you don't need to be on good terms with someone to receive them. That's how anarchy works, there is no ethics, no morals, no law...only the powerful rule

@helltrackrider lol I didn't know if to reply or laugh at the irony. All the morals you mentioned are established and maintained by the legal system..you know the government! Doubt that you'll be able to assert those in an anarchic society.
lol did you miss the day in school where they taught you that humans are social animals? Even most mammals are social, a key to survival. A trait easily observed in our fellow primates. Collectivism existed even before we had the brains to conjure up religion
H1TMANactual 1 year ago
@H1TMANactual
Social interaction cannot occur without Government?...it occurs EVERYDAY on a voluntary basis...without the guide or approval of government.
Anarchic society doesnt mean that ordered will not exist; it removes the Authority as it is not necessary. Justice can easily be provided in an anarchic society - by competing factions; unlike the monopolistic form offered by Government.

@H1TMANactual
Im not a narcissist, so i cannot say exactly "how" things will occur with the removal of Authority, but i can say Government is evil in principle and in its actions...Government is the scape goat for theft, violence and force upon individuals.

helltrackrider 1 year ago
@helltrackrider Personally I would love the idea of a zombie apocalypse anarchy. But most won't be able to survive. lol how would there be order in an anarchy? Authority will rest with the powerful, atleast in a government, those in authority are accountable. The choice is pretty simple and logical

See...here is where you are proving that Government is evil and essentially unnecessary; it is NOT accountable for its actions.
I showed just one instance (of many) and you can find not one individual accountable...due to the protection from the term "Government"
Every soldier that willingly joined the military and willingly participated in murdering another individual is accountable; Every superior officer is accountable for aiding in murder.
But noone is in jail.
helltrackrider 1 year ago
@helltrackrider You have showed nothing. Many troops are in jail for war crimes. Moreover we have a pretty good system that keeps the government in check. Maybe you should read up on how it works. Sadly not many exercise their right to vote and even those that do are not very informed. That is NOT the fault of the system
Bottom line you have showed 0 reasons why anarchy with no order, justice or accountability is better than a government with accountability and order that protects liberty.

@H1TMANactual
Explain...how Government protects Liberty and is Accountable for its actions...voting does nothing, the the past has shown.
Government still extorts, still murders and still coerses everyone under its "Rule"...how many votes have there been in just America's history alone?
