It's not only ignored at the top, it's just part of the nature of The Beast, for the reasons you mentioned and more.

It's interesting how people supposedly vote to control the government, but then they're often rallied to beg and plead the government they're controlling through voting to please n…

So the CEO resigns over a vague disagreement about the office's location, as if that made any sense whatsoever, and some elite lawyer waltzes in to replace him. Sure. This is like …

What's the difference between not being able to tell the difference and being confused? I'd say it's not a meaningful distinction.

You sound like a rational person. May I suggest looking up Larken Rose's video "I'm Allowed To Rob You" on YouTube?

This is stupid. The guy said consumption "HAS TO" match production as if it's a law of nature or something. If you stop producing because you run out of money, that's not the same …

Whatever characteristics your business partner had that made you part ways with him, he probably still has them. I wouldn't do business with him, especially if he "dumped" you.

Sure, I may produce something just for myself, but that's completely irrelevant to the general claim that consumption "has to" match production. That's a straightforward claim with…

I'm sure the people playing with lasers appreciate the sentiment, but what about the vast majority of people that, given the choice , would not finance the endeavour? If one of you…

So you're telling me that if I produce a bunch of shit-sandwiches and no one wants them, for whatever mysterious reason, then if I produce some more anyway, suddenly I'm the sole c…

You're not addressing my post, where I tried to highlight the silliness of your earlier claims. How does consumption "have to" match production? How do you figure "money has no val…

You have no idea what you're talking about. Inflation is a tax on savings, but that's alright because money has no value?! But if money actually had no value, there would be no use…

A straw-man libertarian you met? Freedom just means that no one forcefully intervenes in your life, assuming that you're not harming anyone yourself, of course. Demoracy is just mo…

We keep having to tell people that having no ruleRs doesn't mean having no ruleS. If by "no system" you mean "freedom", that's fine with me. Sure, we need rules and negative conseq…
