I had a nice long Skype chat with Stephan Kinsella yesterday, and it got me thinking about what my political philosophy means.
It is not my religion.
I don’t get my meaning of life from it — though my sense of life does indeed show through it.
It does not substitute for a personal philosophy, or ethics.
It is not my prophecy for the future, as it may have been for Herbert Spencer and Gustave de Molinari.
This is what I think it is: it is my best advice for reducing conflict, and it is my preferred terms for human interaction.
That latter is pretty important. So, it is signaling. My libertarian ideas send a signal. The signal is TIT for TAT: if you play nice I will; if you play nasty, I may bite.
That conversation with Mr. Kinsella is up on YouTube as well as in podcast (Apple, Google, Spotify, SoundCloud) form:
Very good conversation.
More on Meinong, please.
I did not know about you or this podcast. Thank God I’m always keeping and eye Kinsella.
