Hmm, interesting. Well I looked up the word "doxy" on the Google Dictionary. Based on what I found there, I had no idea what you were getting at.

I thought of the word one day, I thought it sounded cool. Neodoxy, a new school of thought, a similar process to the worldview which I have been forming over the past 3 years where I see my thought processes affected from all areas of thought from Mises to Nietzsche to Compte along with whatever I derive from these thinkers. A neodoxy is forming within me, and I find my views to always be neodox, if only because my views on matters are changing so constantly.

So I thought it was a cool username, and it has the unforeseen benefit that people occasionally put up pictures of Keanu Reeves while talking about me, and I'm down for that.

I'm a little curious as to what you mean when you call yourself Neodoxy.

I'm glad that you guys like me more than my brother... Paleodoxy

He's an ultraconservative who studies sociology.

Neodoxy is awesome. Just like the old doxy, but new and improved and totally different.

Why thank you very much. Although I must say it is a little intimidating when you say "just. for. you."

Just kidding.

Yea I edit stuff I post right after I post it all the time and correct grammar crap.

Anyway, just for you I did some digging and I found his profile. I'm glad that he's been posting since I left the forum, disturbed that he hasn't posted in a month. I had the spelling of his name slightly off... And remember, I did this just. for. you.

And yea, as I indicated leftrev is probably a bad idea.

SkepticalMetal — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 02:59:50 GMT

And no, I tried finding some of his posts, but I couldn't find any. I just made those comments on the way you celebrated his knowledge of libertarianism. And personally, after looking at a Google Preview of Leftrev, I really don't think I want to go on there, haha. Too many loons in one location.

Holy crap. I should start re-reading some of the stuff I post on here. Geez.

Re: Debate locations

Neodoxy — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 02:56:29 GMT

Lol

1. Did you see some of his posts?

2. That was worded very awkwardly. Just saying :P

Re: Debate locations

SkepticalMetal — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 02:52:54 GMT

Wow. Even though he nor I doesn't believe in the state, I'm almost inclined to say "Absolute Voluntaryist 2012."

In the original spirit of the thread:

I thought that you might find this interesting:

If you're looking for somewhere online to debate and you're thinking about suicide due to loss of faith in humanity then go to left-rev. If you're looking for a slightly slower death with a wider ideological spectrum go here:

There was a Marxist who used to frequent the forums by the name of "Daft Punk"... If he's still there then give him my regards. Anyway, marxists and radical socialists aren't exactly a large part of the forum but they made a pretty f***ing large vocal minority as far as I remember. You'll also meet some really smart libertarians. If the user "Absolute Voluntaryist" (I believe that is his name, he had a Spooner avatar) is still there and you see him in action then bow down and prepare to be in awe. He's one of the few libertarians who I have seen who is not only very smart but who is also genuinely good at debating, and doing so in an intellectual manner.
