It professes that those parts of the universe already laid down absolutely appoint and decree what the other parts shall be. The future has no ambiguous possibilities bidden in its womb; the part we call the present is compatible with only one totality. Any other future complement than the one fixed from eternity is impossible. The whole is in each and every part, and welds it with the rest into an absolute unity, an iron block, in which there can be ...

So not long after I got into anarchy I found Stef's debate with a minarchist and was impressed by his political and economic prowess. His hyper-active speech and the way he peppered it with irrelevant and dumb analogies sort of turned me off but the minarchist was by far the dumber one. Anyway, eventually I read about the "Defooing" process and lost respect for him. In reading an overview of the critiques of his work I found this forum. I hope this forum takes off both as ...
