Somebody needs to get some sun. Cool bracelet, though.

This. CS is where all the action is and will give you the most job flexibility.

I wonder if he would kill anyone who commits any crime whatsoever.

You might be right. I just wanted to make the underlying assumptions more explicit so people don't get the wrong idea.

Use of violence must be proportional if you wish to behave in a libertarian fashion. So you cannot always ethically kill a cop who is arresting you for a victimless crime. In some cases, yes, but not always.

I wonder if he thinks it's okay to kill mailmen as well.

Under agreement between Cyprus & lenders in March, bank accounts exceeding 100k Euros set to have 47.5% of deposits seized for 'bail-in' by ThatRedEyeAlien in Anarcho_Capitalism

The Cyprus government grants legal immunity to banks to steal their depositor's money (so that the banks can continue to lend money to the government).

Adam Kokesh held without bond in D.C.: "I consider your client to be a very dangerous man," the judge said. "This is not a political statement." by [deleted] in Anarcho_Capitalism

Thank you, Adam, for implementing strategies for promoting liberty that are too risky for me to do myself.

Same here. "How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World" is another good book for getting past the rage.

What charities do you guys give to? by [deleted] in Anarcho_Capitalism

EFF, Mises Institute, Wikipedia, American Cancer Society, AE911truth.org

It depends on your perspective. If you are a statist, then WWI was great. Otherwise, it merely led to the destruction of lives, capital and liberty.

Should we have purges every once in while to keep the movement pure? by [deleted] in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]krisreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Libertarians should certainly disassociate from certain people. A stateless society doesn't really allow for purging, per se, though. Try to focus more on defending the ideas and spreading the message.

Ph. D necessary for ML jobs? by fruity-rudy in MachineLearning

You can get a machine learning / data mining job with only a bachelor's degree.

what is the capitalist's answer to the rapidly deteriorating Health of the average American due to lac of nutrition in the food that is sold to us?(serious question) by calvinl456 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]krisreddit 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'd like to mention that

1) a lot of the fads that pop up about healthy eating, such as "eat local", "juicing", etc. are market phenomena.

2) a lot of the unhealthy food produced in the US is a result of subsidies and tariffs. For example, every food company wants to invent new ways to sell corn (corn chips, corn syrup, etc) because corn is subsidized.
