Curiously nobody has yet to mention differences concerning their tolerance to sunlight as a result of being indoors all day, their lack of physical ability or their lack of any recognizable social skills.
Who knew so many people on this forum happened to be lumber jacks with incredible social skills whilst reading Mises.org in their spare time.

Wow...... So you guys really do look at this site as being kinda an elite thing that no normal hardworking person would read from or look at. If you really do view Mises.org in that fashion, this site and ideas might as well be dead.

Pfffffft.

That's not at all what I was saying.

"The power of liberty going forward is in decentralization. Not in leaders, but in decentralized activism. In a market process." -- liberty student
Just saying that, I think the mindset of a libertarian is as much a subjective thing as it is an objective thing. I am not all together sure it is possible to objectively convince a person who for subjective reasons has rejected the free market as the way that society binds together.
Thus, I believe you could run into alot of people who have only a subjective acceptance of the freemarket and are not educated in economics but are normal hardworking individuals that may run into Mises.org and fashion rational arguments to there subjective understanding for a more total understanding, but are libertarians at heart, like I think I am.
I think that this is some kind of genetic trait, where some have a genetic tendacy to be libertarian. I am wondering if anyone here feels the same? Or were you asthetically a socialist who was objectively converted to libertarian philosophy?
Does anyone still feel at odds with the concept of liberty, not subjectivly accepting it, but forced to by logic?
Check, check, but no to the last.
To darkness I condemn you...

I think I covered the last one, but maybe I was too subtle.
Does this apply to yourself? I am wondering because you have over 2,800 posts.
Not that it even matters. "Tolerance to sunlight" and "physical ability" are irrelevant. I would also expect most people here to have great social skills.
Well I was talking with a coworker the other day. He told me a story about how he was laid off from a union job, and was out of work for a year. Then he told me that if our current employer unionized, then we would be making 2x what we make now. I had to explain to him the absurdity of this claim. He just lost his job as a union worker, now he wants to be unionized?! Sure, if you like losing your job and bankrupting the company. So yes, this site helps me explain economic phenomenon to people
do we get free cheezeburger in socielism?

Top quality ones at that. And no it's doesn't, I'm nine foot tall and have the looks of George Clooney, the wit of Oscar Wilde and the charisma of Barack Obama.

Says you.
Obama minus teleprompters equals zero. I'd prefer Nigel Farage's forceful way of presenting his views to Obama's so-called charisma.
I feel like I can understand logic better, too.

I prefer J.R.R. Tolkien spoke over Obama or any politician's manner of speaking. Just search for Tolkien speaking and LOTR on YouTube and you'll find much epicness.

Jason:Maybe about the way your mind works to solve problems versus othere, like family, friends or co-workers? Sometimes I think I have a better understanding or ability to understand logical arguments than others. My mind works in a global sense. I cannot compartmentalize my thoughts like others can. I see the world, operating according to universal immutable law. I see law where others see chaos.
Isn't that the definition of being an austro-libertarian to some degree?

PS If you note that I included an overt reference to BSG, that should tell you everything you need to know about my social unlife.
I have found myself growing increasingly afraid of the irrationality around me. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is watching his back.

Jon Irenicus:Obama minus teleprompters equals zero.
I think that's what everybody is slowly realizing. He doesn't have any executive skills, and he's not a task-oriented professional either. Really, he just runs a permanent campaign (Jay Leno! Virtual townhall! Take the Obama pledge!).
Also surprising for a well-connected Ivy League grad: he has no sense of humor or social savvy.
And another unpleasant surprise: for all his diversity-multiculty-citizen-of-the-world schtick, he's appallingly Amero-centric. Hasn't a clue about anything outside his little elite US lawyer-class bubble.
