I am sure she would love to hear you say that. Do you follow her?

I just started following her. Algorithm Ghetto is simply amazing. Song sums up what takes me pages and lots of blabbering to express. She is super talented.

We need the songs for the inspiration and our blabbering for the details. You are doing important work too.

I am sure she will be delighted to hear that you like her work!

I found these on the Wikipedia page for international relations theory: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_relations_theory

Statism: Realists believe that nation states are the main actors in international politics.[11] As such it is a state-centric theory of international relations.

Survival: Realists believe that the international system is governed by anarchy, meaning that there is no central authority.[9] Therefore, international politics is a struggle for power between self-interested states.[12]

Self-help: Realists believe that no other states can be relied upon to help guarantee the state's survival.

The paradox of replacing state realism is not in refusal of the state, for then we will be at the strongest state's mercy, but in the formal displacement of its locus from country-mechanisms into an Internet worked state function. Okay, I know what I have to do the next 3 years.

Godspeed.

By the way, I was listening to this video yesterday and I thought of you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=676Hzie2hWc

Specifically the section where he is talking about Haller's ideas of social stratification (and how it relates to ideas of caste). Hoppe/Haller would say that castes form organically based on merit as opposed to being pre-arranged.

I'm not debating the issue—just letting you know that it popped into my head while listening.

(I also found a transcript: https://mises.org/mises-wire/idea-private-law-society-case-karl-ludwig-von-haller)

Tumbleweeds are the coolest weeds on the planet. They go about their business with no concern about anything, even the government trying to burn them into extinction. Tumble away you critters. But the rest of you weeds, please go hibernate for a thousand years.

Please tell me that the government is not engaged in a “War on Tumbleweeds”…

The shoe fits, guess I'll keep wearing it.! Was a tumbleweed for most of my life until I found this little spot in Texas, put down some roots for awhile. Still a non conforming alien though, but at least there are a few more of us around now-a-days.

At this rate, you might be able to match the national debt!

Why yes… I’m living off grid and I got a lot of tumbleweeds on my land. I was out pulling them just now. It’s better than paying rent and mortgage.

Nice! I remember the first time I saw a tumbleweed. It was so cool! (I grew up back East.)
