Libertarians, My Libertarians!
Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas -- unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.
Before I say stuff, and for future reference, do you have anywhere where I can read your definition and thoughts on ideologies?
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteDo you think it is a good thing to have prudence without scientific understanding?
You say it is possible, which I suppose it is, but is it desirable?
"Do you think it is a good thing to have prudence without scientific understanding?"
ReplyDeleteWell, it's best to have both. But given the choice of one or the other, take prudence!
