Just imagine if we didn't have complete understanding of human nature. We might actually need an age of consent :very-intelligent:

    A modern state is already an ancap state, because their ideology forbids nothing and permits everything. Ancaps are okay with private corporations enforcing their own laws, enforcing their land ownership via private military, and restricting freedom of movement for people born on their land. They're just very confused about thinking they're somehow opposed to something.

        The only ancap I know is very well-read. There's some deeper disconnect there, like he doesn't believe in consequentialism, or the logical conclusion of an ideology is separate from the validity of the ideology, or something, I dunno.

          I sometimes think they know it's bullshit but their emotional reasoning tells them they would be a benefactor just because they're "chosen" or whatever. Unless they're rich, which in that case there's zero reason to not go full 1488 helicopter ride

          I mean, they talk about how we're all stupid and illiterate, and they seem pretty convinced. We're just pawns for (crony) capitalists, they say. Could it be we're all just misinformed?
