Entertaining discussion, but I'm legitimately interested in this project... has anyone that was at the conference kept in contact or heard from the OP??

Insofar as AnCaps like Rothbard claim to know what an ideal society would look like (it would/wouldn't have intellectual property, etc.), they contradict themselves. However, it is entirely unnecessary for an anti-statist to claim they know how society should ideally operate; consistent AnCaps understand that the market (the natural order of society) will determine everything. Great debate on this exact point: http://wwww.qjae.org/community/forums/p/10277/273307.aspx#273307Thanks for actual content, but being that this discussion started back in 2009 it will take me awhile to get through it all... great discussion so far!! |

I have read Marx... I was simplifying/dismissing the Marx comment because I wasn't interested in getting into that argument on this thread I was specifically looking for others opinions on the Friedman/Rothbard issue presented in these posts.
My understanding of Marx's economic and philosophical positions can be summed up as this:
-a historical dialectic grounded in materialistic metaphysics
-a contemptuous view of the results the division of labor has on society
-the inherent class struggle found in a capitalistic political economy due to the division of labor and labor theory of value
-the fruition of these positions resulting in the alienation of man
Now if you want to get into any of these discussions I would be happy to entertain in a different thread, but I would LOVE it if we could keep this post on topic.

Well apparently this is a series... specifically dealing the with the minarchist/anarchist issue. The next post is rather interesting... http://analyticaleconomist.blogspot.com/2013/06/anarcho-capitalistic-dogmatism-part-ii.html"A general principle to follow when critiquing somebody elses views is you have to properly represent what they have said. If this principle is not followed you will miss your mark and fail at your endeavor. There are various degrees to how far a person can miss the mark but if you aim small you will miss small. At one end of the spectrum you have the complete straw-man where the critical analysis does not even give the slightest impression the critic desired to accurately portray the view under scrutiny. Usually when this happens it has the distinctive whiff of a smear job and should not be taken seriously. On the other end of the spectrum you have the case where the critic takes the view under analysis quite seriously and strives to accurately portray it in order to allow a proper hearing. The judiciously constructed critiques are much more difficult to write because it requires meticulous attention to detail and careful intellectual craftsmanship." ... I'm not going to get into the comment about Marx, the idea that his work is philosophically enlightening is silly. But I'm more curious about what anarchists have to say about this matter in that I am on the fence on some of the minarchist/anarchist issues. |

"Yet another problem is the Neo-Austrian/Neo-Rothbardian anarcho-capitalist rejects model theory in economics because they believe that models cannot properly capture reality
A healthy dose of cynicism about models can go a long way towards not falling into ANY kind of dogmatism. The map is not the territory. That's silly you can be dogmatic in rejecting models... there's a "healthy dose" and then there's complete rejection. |

So for example, the perfect competition model shows what an economy would look like given these assumptions: Infinite buyers and sellers Zero entry and exit barriers Perfect mobility of goods and services Perfect information Zero transaction costs Profit maximization Homogeneous products Non-increasing returns to scale Property rights All economists realize that these factors do not exist in real-time but nonetheless, it is a theory that can be utilized for advancement of a free society. Here is the problem for the Neo-Austrian/Neo-Rothbardian anarcho-capitalist; while rejecting models for lack of realism, the perfect competition model IS the anarcho-capitalist theory of society. This, of course, is highly problematic." thoughts??...

Bitcoin needs more ENTJ's to explain and persuade the sheeple |

Nerds do "have a chance"... intelligence is attractive and females are far less visual then males when it comes to choosing a mate. But this... I mean, if Ravin Tavin was hanging out at a bitcoin conference, I certainly wouldn't be paying heed to some pasty basement nerd droning on about cryptography...I'd be leering at her and imagining dem titties bouncin' in ma face!
... is probably why Bitcoin is still a boys club She takes her clothes off for bitcoin, you twat. It's all about context, my man. Were she there in business attire lecturing about emerging crypto-algorithms, I'd be paying attention to something else. That and she is just fucking staggeringly beautiful. If you aren't paying attention to women like that, you are just a neutered friggin' husk of a human. Context is important... like knowing when you're replying to a male or a female in a thread post... my man  So as a woman, you think it is sexist for me to ogle a woman who is literally employed by that very action? Seems natural on my part, and empowering on her part. Enjoying human beauty is not something that is restricted to men. My old lady likes vagina just as much as I do, and she'll be checking out the hot women and the room right along with me. Is that sexist, too? If you re-read my comments you'll realize I never called you sexist... the gay guy did As a complementarian I could care less about pointing out or dwelling on sexism. I did, however, make an objective observation as to why there could be a gender disparity which is still relevant. Your lady sounds lovely, but discretion has its benefits as well (think lady in the streets freak in the sheets) |

Well now you're just forcing your definition of nerd on others... we should probably start talking about the evolution of language now |

Nerd does not imply intelligence, just lack of social skills. Please don't raise people to have low social skills.
I'd be careful with the use of "social skills"... more often then not its a sociocentric platitude used to justify government indoctrination. Social health should be viewed through the lens of a child's individual temperament. This is where the non-aggression principle applies to parenting... if your kid is an introvert don't force them to be an extrovert |

there are many ladies in finance and computing industries. but they know from experience most of these nerd conventions end up as being a bunch of guys hounding them and trying to act smart, thinking they can get into the girls pants because she has similar interests.
most women don't want to be hounded at such events, they go there for the professional reasons of learning the economy. most guys though at first go there for the same reason, but due to the fact that most nerds are single.. it soon changes to a mood of chasing girls.
Couldn't agree more... this was more or less my experience at the conference. Bitcoin does not require heavy knowledge of computers though. I got into it because of the finance/politics of it, and I'm learning about the technical stuff as I go. I like the advice of having daughters and raising them to be nerds. I'd say as long as you keep them out of the public school system they'll be fine  |

$2500 when I first got in and I'll add about $200/month from here on out... I have a healthy aversion to banks and USD |

28, I deal with compliance in the finance industry... heard about bitcoin on zero-hedge and have been hooked ever since. I also needed a freedom outlet after Ron Paul retired |
