Welcome to the first day of 2026. Think for yourself. Lead yourself. Be ungovernable.

That's what all states want—us vulnerable and them holding the weapon. This is why there is gun control. This is the same exact thing for infotech. Its AI control.

There is tons of quality beginner chess content on the internet, but I find there is very little excellent intermediate stuff. This guy is superb at it: youtube.com/@Pegasus-Chess

Anarcho-captialism (the only anarchism) can't crony without the collectivist cronies of the state.

What other people own is not up to you, looter. The pollutant is the coercive political institutions. Without them there to be co-opted, the customer becomes king, and capitalism, the philosophy of consent, property, and life, will be free to improve everyone's lives.

Literally backwards. It is the lowest common denominator that allows people with the largest differences in behavioral norms, IQs, and cultures to understand how to interact with one another peacefully. When that peace is broken you are free to defend yourself.

Nonsense. Real capitalism happens every day, all the time. Consent, property rights, trade. It is the philosophy of life. It works even in the face of all the collectivist perversion, looting, and violence. 💛🖤💛🖤

The things I want to bring to the world right now are super hard to raise funding for and monetize. 😔 Might be time to find some new projects and stop trying to fix the world. 😂

I'm not saying that there aren't good reasons to be an anon nym on this website... But if I were running one of those accounts I would try to be extra charitable, mature, and ingenuous if I wanted people to take me at all seriously, instead of insta blocking. There's so much noise generated. And I know, I know, some of you are the good ones... I'm not talking about you.

People scoff when we tell them that every single law, no matter how minor, is a death threat.

It's the only consistent one, and the only moral one.

I gave both of my children access to their own Hermes AI agents. One is already well into writing a video game, the other is role-playing through an epic week-long Monster Cats saga. They need access to learn the tech that is changing the world during their lifetimes just like I had when I was 12. Guardrails for kids is something I've been working on with Hermes for a while now.

Some of this is accurate, but a lot of it is not. - Freedom does come with an exclusion list, namely communists and other people that reject freedom, property, and consent. 1. You can be socially 1950s and be a libertarian just like they can be socially 2026 and be libertarian. You just have to not try and control the other people. 2. People don't have to shut up about it, just like the skittles people don't have to shut up about it. What matters to a libertarian is whose property it's happening on, and what the owners want. 4. This is another sort of irrelevant contradiction. One side says don't shove it in my face and wants people to hide who they are, and the other side often wants to shove it in people's faces and be very loud about who they are, and NONE OF IT is relevant to libertarianism. The only question again is whose property is it happening on, and what do the owners want? 7. Again, irrelevant to libertarianism. One can be absolutely homophobic or absolutely homosexual and still be a libertarian. 6, 8, 9, and 10 seem to be targeting some specific set of minarchists or statists that actually want to ban the gays. So if that's the case, then they're correct. But if they're doing the forced inclusion in same-sex sports or trying to force property owners to let trans people in their bathrooms or other bake-the-cake type stuff, and calling that equal rights, that is also a problem. Generally speaking, people need to stop bringing their ideological baggage from both sides into what is a very simple set of ideas around consent and property.
