| I'm an ancap, and found these forums linked from 8chan's /liberty/ board in a discussion about the great, all knowing Molyneux :P
I'm influenced by Rand, Rothbard, both Friedmans, Hayek. I'm not a natural rights ancap, more of a Friedmanite in that respect (tbh I'm a moral subjectivists so I don't think any system, anarchist or otherwise, can be said to be objectively moral).
I'm majoring in economics with a minor in math at a regional state school in the Soouthern USA. Hopefully this forum will be interesting. |

Have you read any Mises?

If a system is based upon reasoning in proportion to biological facts, we may rightly call that system objectively moral. |

| Nemo, I don't think we're gonna settle ethics on an internet discussion board :P And I haven't read much Mises beyond some essays on Mises Institute and excerpts. His books look dense. I've read a couple of Rothbard's books, For A New Liberty and The Betrayal of the American Right. Rothbard is actually the writer who "converted" me back in middle school when I stumbled onto libertarianism and read FANL.
CovOps: I don't even remember, it was just a thread dissing ancaps because Moly is one, obviously posted by a troll, but someone linked this board as a place where ancaps had criticized the guy. And I'm always up for making fun of the nutcase :P.
Thanks for the welcome!

I'm surprised by your statement, in light of you having been exposed to Rand.
Our in-house reeducation camps are a delight, you'll love them...
;)

;) I love Rand's novels and such and she really made an impact (especially on my religious views) but, after giving it a lot of thought, I'm a thorough-going subjectivist morally. Although I'm also agnostic on the subject, there could be objective morals but I haven't seen them. :P

If you were thirsty and offered a glass of hydrochloric acid, would you drink it? |

If you were thirsty and offered a glass of hydrochloric acid, would you drink it? No. Is that an arbitrary decision, or a reasoned one based on facts? If the latter, do tell why you think that's not an instance of objective morality. |
