re: Weakness/lack of proprioception in left side
Posted by AllbyMyRelf on 7/13/26 at 11:19 am to hall59tiger
When you say weakness, do you just mean there’s an imbalance and your left side isn’t quite as strong, or do you notice an actual deficit on your left side? If the latter, it might be prudent to check with a neurologist to see if there’s some neurological factor involved.
Any numbness or tingling?

Pretty obvious State will finish in the top 3.

Eliminating 30% of the increase isn't going to do much, especially with the stratification of the impact over the types of properties involved...at least for your typical demos on this site.

quote:That’s what Adrian Vermeule wants to do, but with Catholic integralism.
So you want the USA to amend the First Amendment, removing the Establishment of Religion Clause, and then you want the FedGov to pass laws that actively promote your Reformed Covenanter Church religion to the exclusion of all other denominations and religions? That's exactly what John Calvin did in Switzerland! He established a Governmental Theocracy. I don't see how that could work out.
But also I don’t think removing the establishment clause makes you a theocracy. Otherwise the UK would be a theocracy with its established Church of England. Even England of the 1500s I wouldn’t describe as a theocracy—but maybe you disagree

If you haven’t read it already, I think you would benefit from Harold Demsetz’s article, “Toward a Theory of Property Rights”.
It’s really good. JSTOR link below.

quote:Let’s say someone is cut out of the will. We can still dispose of the property as set forth in the will. The person cut out is no worse off than they would be if the property was destroyed.
Humans are selfish, irrational and vindictive. Potential logical heirs are often intentionally immitted from wills, resulting in intense conflict and litigation.

quote:I can’t agree with that. Inheritance rules are a solution to conflict by clearly outlining who gets what, thus reducing extraneous claims to the property, all while preserving the property.
If the stated goal is conflict avoidance, destruction of property seems to be the best way forward.
Your destruction rule makes everyone poorer while solving no obvious problem.

quote:Why would the destruction of wealth be the best way forward? We have a path of disposition that preserves the value of the property while also being relatively low cost to implement (wills and intestacy laws)
Maybe just destroying the property is the best way to avoid/alleviate societal conflict?

quote:I think they exist narrowly to the extent people owe duties to another. For example, if someone’s duty is to provide for their family, then I think they have a right to work and obtain property so they can fulfill that duty.
So you are NOT a proponent of natural rights?
But no, I do not hold to the natural rights concepts that you see in liberal enlightenment philosophy.

quote:Agreed
Granted — but doesn't the prohibition on using others as mere means ultimately rest on the fact that they have a claim to their own body and the products of their labor that you cannot override?
quote:Can’t immediately think of a scenario where I disagree, so agreed.
Whether you ground that claim in self-ownership or in the idea that each person belongs to God and therefore cannot belong to you, the practical conclusion is identical: no one has the right to direct another person's existence toward their own ends.
quote:Mostly agreed, except the reason I engaged on this topic is because I disagreed with how natural rights were being portrayed/ justified.
From a political philosophy standpoint the two views converge almost entirely. The meaningful divergence is narrow — suicide, and perhaps a few other cases where a person's choices affect only themselves. That's a real disagreement, but it doesn't touch the core of what we've been discussing. On property rights, plunder, and the wrongness of slavery, we're describing the same structure from different foundations.

Yes, but philosophically speaking, wills are pretty much universally known, and the intestacy laws are public and available. So can we not just deem that people that die without their own will knowingly accept the default?
re: The Law by Frédéric Bastiat
Posted by AllbyMyRelf on 6/23/26 at 1:39 pm to stuntman
Everyone has a will. The question is whether they made it themselves or if they’re using the default set forth by legislators in the intestacy code.
