Great post. Very well stated.

Thank you, LibertyPen! 👍

I totally agree with the premise of "Life Ownership." The consequences of bad decision must be "owned" by the doer, not society. Once people realize that there will not be anyone or any agency to rescue the bad decision makers people on the whole will start making better choices. As Benjamin Franklin once said "if you want to end poverty make the poor house uncomfortable". '

Me dino will "different lizard" call myself anything I want.
And I don't care who does not like it.

The value in this (to me) is a reminder that while it was easy to object to untested vaccines, we so often don't even think twice that the SAME thing happens with seat belt and helmet laws.

Excellent reminder.

Common sense, huh? With a deficit of “common”…

The Main problem with our respective societies is that 60+% of the worlds population has shown no signs of self introspection, (Consciousness or awareness of self). That's why we can't have an open society; but here's the kicker: The Biggest offenders of our self ownership, our bodies and minds are the creatures in our governments, and for the many reasons + stated in the article.

who's life??
God's

I like this article. A couple of issues:
1. The nanny government is necessary if the government is also responsible to cover the outcomes. If we are required to pay, we should demand control of the risk. This is the philosophical issue. We are halfway, and it destroys the ability to properly institute the philosophy. It also impedes lay/nominal people's ability to grasp the philosophy itself. Almost like communism requires a society devoid of need to succeed (so asserted by the scum, Marx), our philosophy requires a society devoid of government-instituted altruism (individuals can do as they please).

2. I am not sure where vaccines like polio stand. Polio is gone. Smallpox and measles are gone. This is not possible without unilateral vaccination. Not sure "Darwinism" will solve this. I think Milton Friedman's Compelled Servitude applies here, and a fine proportional to the imposed risk, could be in order, much like he proposed for pollution. COVID vaccination excluded because it is not an actual vaccination at all.

There is a role of government. We are not anarchists. In my view the test is: "Government's role is where capitalism will not offer a maxima/minima, due to relevant local optimums in a non-monotanic system". The military is an example of where government is required. I think highways are as well, but opinions vary there.
