"Classical liberalism regarded those laws best that afforded the least discretionary power to executive authorities, thus avoiding arbitrariness and abuse. The modern state seeks to expand its discretionary power. Everything is to be left to the discretion of officials."

Ludwig von Mises

TU NE CEDE MALIS
Age: 37
If you overesteem great men,
people become powerless.
If you overvalue possessions,
people begin to steal.

The Master leads
by emptying people's minds
and filling their cores,
by weakening their ambition
and toughening their resolve.
He helps people lose everything
they know, everything they desire,
and creates confusion
in those who think that they know.

Practice not-doing,
and everything will fall into place.

- Lao Tzu

There is no right. There is only one wrong. Everyone has a not fully knowable nature. Some are profound, most are very humble. The best that can be done, is to be quiet, so as to hear it & then automatically move in harmony with it. Unharmoniousness is unhealthiness. The only wrong is to succumb to the ego (or whatever you wish to call it) & try to violently force one's way on others.

Country: United States
Interests and Hobbies: The philosophy of liberty and great American music embodies it.
Music: "Louis is really the tradition, we haven't caught up to it yet. He created our colloquialism. Every musician I know, of worth, in popular music, or jazz music, is stung by Louis Armstrong." - Tony Bennett - "The true revolutionary is one that's not apparent. I mean the revolutionary that's waving a gun out in the streets is never effective; the police just arrest him. But the police don't ever know about the guy who smiles and drops a little poison in their coffee. Well...Louis, in that sense, was that sort of revolutionary, a TRUE revolutionary" - Lester Bowie
Books: Frederic Bastiat, THE LAW - 1850: "The state is that great fiction by which everyone tries to live at the expense of everyone else." - "See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime...Then abolish this law without delay" - "Life, faculties, production—in other words, individuality, liberty, property—this is man...[they] do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place." - "...look at the United States. There is no country in the world where the law is kept more within its proper domain: the protection of every person's liberty and property. As a consequence of this, there appears to be no country in the world where the social order rests on a firmer foundation." - "Slavery is a violation, by law, of liberty. The protective tariff is a violation, by law, of property." - "Do not listen to this sophistry by vested interests. The acceptance of these arguments will build legal plunder into a whole system. In fact, this has already occurred. The present-day delusion is an attempt to enrich everyone at the expense of everyone else." - "the relationship between persons and the legislator appears to be the same as the relationship between the clay and the potter." - "Ah, you miserable creatures! You think you are so great! You who judge humanity to be so small! You who wish to reform everything! Why don't you reform yourselves? That would be sufficient enough." - "...legislators and do-gooders, reject all systems, and try liberty."

Adam Curtis' acclaimed series examines the rise of the all-consuming self against the backdrop of the Freud dynasty.
I believe that the categorization of music is terribly stifling or limiting, & in some cases, even racialist in origin & practice. I divide music only by the more cerebral & the more physical. Naturally, there's always a mixture, but this is just my opinion on which way they lean. The more physical of course will always be more popular. The more cerebral require varying degrees of attention span, study & concentration to be as enjoyable.

You know the direct, legitimate fruit of consciousness is inertia, that is, conscious sitting-with-the-hands-folded. I have referred to this already. I repeat, I repeat with emphasis: all "direct" persons & men of action are active just because they are stupid & limited. How explain that? I will tell you: in consequence of their limitation they take immediate & secondary causes for primary ones, and in that way persuade themselves more quickly & easily than other people do that they have found an infallible foundation for their activity, and their minds are at ease & you know that is the chief thing. To begin to act, you know, you must first have your mind completely at ease & no trace of doubt left in it. - Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from the Underground

A nation of slaves is always prepared to applaud the clemency of their master, who, in the abuse of absolute power, does not proceed to the last extremes of injustice & oppression.

The various modes of worship which prevailed in the Roman world were all considered by the people as equally true; by the philosopher as equally false; and by the magistrate as equally useful.

[T]he laws of the barbarians were adapted to their wants & desires, their occupations & their capacity; and they all contributed to preserve the peace, and promote the improvements, of the society for whose use they were originally established. The Merovingians, instead of imposing a uniform rule of conduct on their various subjects, permitted each people, and each family, of their empire freely to enjoy their domestic institutions; nor were the [remaining] Romans excluded from the common benefits of this legal toleration.

"Say: O ye unbelievers! // I worship not what ye worship, // And ye are not worshippers of what I worship; // And I am not a worshipper of what ye have worshipped, // And ye are not worshippers of what I worship. // To you your religion; and to me my religion." - Quran, Sura cix

The greater productivity of work under the division of labor is a unifying influence. It leads men to regard each other as comrades in a joint struggle for welfare, rather than as competitors in a struggle for existence. It makes friends out of enemies, peace out of war, society out of individuals.

Now the greatest accomplishment of reason is the discovery of the advantages of social cooperation, & its corollary, the division of labor.

Western civilization is based upon the libertarian principle & all its achievements are the result of the actions of free men.

To the man who adopts the scientific method in reflecting upon the problems of human action, liberalism must appear as the only policy that can lead to lasting well-being for himself, his friends, & his loved ones, &, indeed, for all others as well. - Ludwig von Mises

For just as bodies that are in a good state with respect to health, or ships that are in a fine condition for a voyage with respect to their crews, admit of more errors without being destroyed by them, while bodies that are in a diseased condition & ships with loosened timbers & a poor crew cannot bear up even under small errors, so too in the case of regimes the worse need the most defense. - Aristotle

In a state where we seem to see nothing but commotion there can be union -- that is, a harmony resulting in happiness, which alone is true peace. It is as with the parts of the universe, eternally linked together by the action of some & the reaction of others. But, in the concord of Asiatic despotism -- that is, of all government which is not moderate -- there is always real dissension. The worker, the soldier, the lawyer, the magistrate, the noble are joined only inasmuch as some oppress the others without resistance. And, if we see any union there, it is not citizens who are united but dead bodies buried one next to the other. - Montesquieu

"...never [enter] into dispute or argument with another. I never saw an instance of one of two disputants convincing the other by argument. I have seen many, on their getting warm, becoming rude, and shooting one another. Conviction is the effect of our own dispassionate reasoning, either in solitude, or weighing within ouselves, dispassionately, what we hear from others, standing uncommitted in argument ourselves." - Thomas Jefferson
mpolzkill | June 24, 2008
{The system man] is apt to be very wise in his own conceit, and is often so enamoured with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government, that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it. He goes on to establish it completely & in all its parts, without any regard either to the great interests or to the strong prejudices which may oppose it: he seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chess-board; he does not consider that the pieces upon the chess board have no other principle of motion besides that which the hand impresses upon them; but that, in the great chess-board of human society, every single piece has a principle of motion of its own, altogether different from that which the legislature might choose to impress upon it. - Adam Smith
