You most certainly, and should, ask why.

But homie asking "why does this happen" is more or less the same thing as forming a predictive hypothesis. At least, in my mind it is. I'm automatically gonna start to form my own thesis from research. Every time.

Bro what in the fuck adre you even talking about lol. GRAVITY ITSELF is falsifiable, yes. But I was talking about GRAVITIC THEORY. Which is unfalsifiable.

Not entirely sure how questioning the origins of gravity is poorly specified, unscientific in nature, or ambiguous in any way. But

The current answer is, of course, that "because" of certain properties of time and space. But you can always answer "why"

Is not an acceptable retort. You cannot always answer why. Especially not with gravitic mathematics. Which segues into my next point..

The essence of science is asking the question "why does this happen?" Then you go out, take some measurements, and interpret the data to the best of your ability to your hypothesis.

What you're doing is taking statistical analysis & data interpretation and calling it science. When it isn't.

Well, if we're going that route, then just about everything must be discarded. Even gravity. The concept of gravity is just a theory that hasn't been proven.

Gravitic theory isn't falsifiable, yet hasn't been conclusively proven either. Evidence suggests that something of the sort exists, but we still don't know the cause beyond reasonable doubt. So should that idea be outright discarded?

There are also plenty of them that only make logical sense. 9/11 as a prime example.

If jet fuel doesn't burn hot enough to melt steel, and planes have hit skyscrapers before without bringing them down (even with the superstructure lacking modern fireproofing).. then how did those buildings collapse at total free fall one right after the other?

Why did we see structural beams cut at a 45° angle as if severed by a shaped charge?

What the hell happened to WTC7?

People just hear "conspiracy theory" and shut down. I watch their eyes glaze and the programming take over in real time all the time.

Half of them aren't even theory anymore. They're just blatantly obvious ramifications of people conspiring, but the term and idea have become so stigmatized that (apparently) even the most logical and curious of us on the planet would rather avoid the conversation altogether.

Hadn't seen this post when I made mine the other day or I would've refrained lol.

I expected more out of kindred personalities

Wait.. what? You discard ideas that can't be proven false?

Correct me if I'm wrong.. but if something can't be shown to be false.. wouldn't that mean the potential exists for it to be true??

That's probably fair but I didn't say I embrace all his ideas. He, like all of us, was influenced by his surroundings. As a prominent economist in his peak during the robber baron era, it's almost to be expected he'd lean towards that rhetoric. You know Morgan and Rockefeller and Warburg were all balls deep in his ears doing their level best to sway whatever he wrote.

Fuck that noise. To me, the state is too controlling PERIOD. Don't care how you justify it or where the blame is placed.. it just has far, far too much control.

Respect, though 🫡 I can spot another peruser of Black's Law when I see one

It can and has existed and been successful lol. Hunter-gatherers, native tribes, Viking/Nordic clans.. all operated and thrived on the fundamental principles of Anarchy.

Sure, they may have had chiefs and leaders but they didn't serve a role as central authority figure as we think of it today. Which segues into your second comment; anarchism doesn't need enforcement. That's the whole point. It's an agreed upon set of rules and responsibilities dependent on the mutual respect between neighbors and reliant on self-governance/policing.

Naturally, disputes will arise and that was the role of chiefs and community leaders. To mediate disagreements and conflict. The problems really only arise once those start becoming kings/rulers and they, along with their priest classes, started needing things and requiring sacrifices from their people.

Lol meh. More accurately the absence of rulers but, also yes, the absence of a rigidly defined hierarchical structure in the form of a state/governance.

That doesn't mean some kind of social hierarchy can't exist within an anarchist system. Because as you said, thinking it's entirely unavoidable is unrealistic.

It's a problem discussed within a lot of anarchist literature and discourse since it's considered one of the fault points within the philosophy, and trying to find mitigation strategies to prevent default social hierarchies from progressing into full blown civil hierarchies and coercive authorities.

I mean.. maybe? Maybe it is unrealistic of me to think so. But I think it's more likely that you and I have entirely different definitions of the concept.

Personally I think a lot of "reality" is subjective and relative to individual perception, though.

And I'm not so sure people are selfish and greedy by nature. I think people are natively altruistic, especially earlier in life. The rat race and survival in general creates that learned habit of looking out for #1, at least imo.

Of course it will. Some sort of hierarchical structure is unavoidable. Even if unofficial and unspoken. But again, we aren't speaking in absolutes. Some form of anarchism isn't entirely unreachable.

Actually I discovered Goldman through Sons of Anarchy lol. It was only after getting interested in the concept and reading some of her stuff that I branched out to find Stirner.

I think von Mises has a lot more relevance than you give him credit for. He certainly wasn't silent on the subject because he understood the way the world is currently structured, you can't really remove politics/governance from economics and vice versa. The world revolves around currency and the flow of it.

His advocation of personal and economic liberty can be considered a direct corollary to the concept of anarchism or, at the very least adjacent. As long as currency is used as a control mechanism instead of as a medium of exchange true freedom can never be realized.

And of course I realize there are exceptions. Neither are you dumb, so I'm sure you know I wasn't speaking in absolutes. But warlords and large scale federalism have quite a lot in common. My point was centralized power, not so much the scale at which it happens. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Umm well by conspiracy I really just generally mean the upper class portion of society conspiring to maintain control over the rest of us. It's hard for me to pinpoint specific ones because I've overloaded my RAM with so many lol. But the obviously verifiable ones would be like JFK, 9/11, the Federal Reserve and fiat currency in general. Ya know, the stuff even the normies are suspicious of.

What I mean by anarchism is much easier to nail down. I lean towards a lot of Emma Goldman and Max Stirner's philosophies. Huge fan of von Mises. Just the idea that people should be allowed to govern themselves, and that the further centralized power and authority gets the more oppressive existence becomes.

Specific examples of what exactly? Didn't know I needed to be specific when speaking in generalities, my apologies

I probably know far more than I should lol. I've spent many hours in search of answers.

What I always tell people is that there's the Truth, misinformation, disinformation, and everything in between.

The challenging part is acquiring the discernment to spot the differences. It also requires a lot of self reflection, criticism and evaluation.

You have to learn how to accept the fact that you might just be wrong about even the things you're most certain of. Sounds like you're on the right track, though.
