Libenter quibus nos vincant epulamur

*pinches bridge of nose* I promised myself I wouldn’t blog about this

It’s been a long time since I cared enough to know what was going on in the “ancap” space and I’m not sure I’d know how to find out where those conversations are happening now, or do whatever I needed, join whatever Discord or whatever, to follow them. I was definitely exposed to the nastier (LvMI) strain, and it’s only in the past few years that I’ve come to realize that there was another strain at GMU that is more circumspect and less dogmatic about it, and more interested in addressing itself to the Left. But, as far as I can tell: not very successfully. I mean, how could they be? “We’re basically like mutualists, except we think profit, interest, rent, and wage employment play beneficial roles…….” I’d like to learn more about what’s up with them, and I do have a book that touches on some of it waiting for me to get to it, but I suspect there’s only so much I’ll glean from books.

This week’s writing exercise is to try to reduce all of the things I want to say with my system to a list of theses. So far I have 128, but some of those might be redundant and some might be complex enough to warrant splitting up. Anyway, I’m not done.
