Force and the threat of it, and the threat of fraud throttles reason. Reason is the uniquely human means of dealing with reality in order to flourish, yea, in order to survive. If reason is shut down by fear of force, man is [...] March 4th, 2009 | Tags: credibility, Dean Striker, democrats and republicans, Hippies, libertarian, Libertarianism, morality101, Objectivism, philosophy, reasoning, unified image | Category: Morality, SocialSites | One comment By Striker, on February 5th, 2009 Being a libertarian means living with a level of frustration that is nearly beyond human endurance. It means being subject to unending scorn and derision despite being inevitably proven correct by events. How does it feel to be a libertarian? Imagine what the internal life of Cassandra must have been and you will have a [...] February 5th, 2009 | Tags: anarchy, force, libertarian, philosophy | Category: Morality, SocialSites | Leave a comment By Striker, on December 10th, 2008 It’s called the non-initiation, or non-aggression principle, and it is the only philosophical framework and ethical system that doesn’t require either an appeal to divine authority, or appeal to collectivism… (actually perhaps it should best be stated as simply not requiring an appeal to authority at all), to be internally justified and consistent.

The right and good is that which contributes to my life and the wrong and evil is that which destroys it. Every action I take must pass through the gates of identification before being pursued as a value which I understand will contribute to my life.

That comment perhaps gave a slightly wrong impression, that I am leaving Digg. No, I am merely pulling (partly) back from Digg, because it seems more important to me that I have time to [...] October 18th, 2008 | Tags: altruism, America, atlas shrugged, Ayn Rand, Communist, Digg, fascist, FDR, individual freedom, libertarian, morality, morality101, objectivist, philosophy, progressive, socialist, Striker, Striker101 | Category: Morality, StartingOver | 2 comments By Striker, on April 7th, 2008 Objectivism is the moral philosophy defined by Ayn Rand in numerous writings, of which her book ‘Atlas Shrugged’ is probably best known.
