I love, freedom, philosophy, music,books,and comedy. I write stuff, and rarely try to publish it. My short fiction blog is: http://www.hardflash.blogspot.com
1.Everything is the way it is because it got that way. - Leslie Orgel or D'Arcy Thompson (unclear)
2.To live effectively is to live with adequate information. - Norbert Wiener
3.There are no solutions; there are only trade-offs. — Thomas Sowell
4.The more any quantitative social indicator is used for social decision-making, the more subject it
will be to corruption pressures and the more apt it will be to distort and corrupt the social processes
it is intended to monitor.
- Donald T. Campbell
6. Disparate outcomes do NOT necessarily imply disparate treatment.
7. Correlation does not necessarily imply causation.
8. A managed democracy is a wonderful thing... for the managers... and its greatest strength is a 'free press' when 'free' is defined as 'responsible' and the managers define what is 'irresponsible'.
- Robert A. Heinlein
“To stand up for truth is nothing. For truth, you must sit in jail. You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me. The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world. In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago, 1918-1956
I can no longer recommend using the minds app, as it is broken as fuck...
"Things fall apart, the center cannot hold.
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned.
The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity." ~~~ Yeats

“No man escapes
When freedom fails,
The best men rot in filthy jails;
And they who cried: “Appease, Appease!”
Are hanged by men they tried to please.”

I am an agorist. I do not fall for the left-right paradigm. The only thing that matters is up and down: Down to the abyss of complete government control, or up to the pinnacle of complete individual liberty.
