( Comments for Policy of Truth ) Comment on Natural Law Libertarianism in Two Flavours by Irfan Khawaja
In reply to Irfan Khawaja. Where the hell is Riesbeck, by the way? I usually run my Aristotle questions by him, and when I do, he writes up a whole encyclopedia entry for me, gratis. Where have all the good times gone? LikeLike

( Comments for Policy of Truth ) Comment on Natural Law Libertarianism in Two Flavours by Irfan Khawaja
In reply to Roderick T. Long. I think I read that post back in 2004 when it first went up. I agreed with what you said about Rand when I read it (and still do), but hadn’t read enough of Bacon to judge. I went on a Bacon-reading spree a few years…

(Policy of Truth) Ellos No Las Tienen: Canceling the Autumn Sweater Line
Another counter-example to the “Left has a monopoly on cancel culture” or “cancel culture targets the poor, hapless Right” narrative. My friend Paola Buendía got her ads yanked from FB. Why? Her knitwear company Wooden Ships sells a sweater saying, simply:”VOTE.” FB deemed this “dangerously political.” WTF?? So here’s 20% off. https://t.co/k539Uee7PG pic.twitter.com/rzn146iuqe — Jennifer…

In reply to Irfan Khawaja. Compare what I say here, about Wittgenstein’s criticism of Francis Bacon being applicable to Rand: http://praxeology.net/unblog03-04.htm#01 LikeLike

In reply to Irfan Khawaja. I will say, on behalf of the most recent edition (the “definitive edition”) of The Constitution of Liberty, that it has one decisive advantage over any edition of Law, Legislation, and Liberty, and indeed over any…

(Austro-Athenian Empire) The Fountain Dries Up
[cross-posted at POT] So here’s a mystery. It seems that Amazon no longer carries The Fountainhead (except secondhand copies). This link, which worked last month, no longer works: They still carry Atlas Shrugged; and Barnes & Noble still carries The Fountainhead. Hmm. Well, I’ll ask my contact at ARI (yes, I have one!) if they…
