While I don't share Erik's world view, I do enjoy his takes and how hard he tries at being internally consistent. Some fun discussion under this one: https://x.com/ErikVoorhees/status/1835019215381627309

Yeah that’s how I feel about Erik too. He often says things that are easy to recognize as half-baked thoughts, already argued expertly in past debates. He doesn’t seem to be looking to solutions outside of the rationale that there should absolutely no authority outside of the inivisoble hand of the market. When challenged about how those markets might already be biased, subsidized, or coerced by the forces of money and of power (not just government, but financial and social) he has no good answers. He doesn’t recognize even in this post the way that both groups he names are capable of both types of coercion he identifies. He reminds me a lot of Dan in this way. Falling into tropes and simplifications about what any given term means whenever he chooses to use it.

Still, I find myself sort of half-agreeing with many of his points. This is probably to do with something he states here that I also stated in my post “Whose Left Is It Anyway?” about the bottom half of the political compass: there is a lot of ideological alignment amongst those who are opposed to authority on first principles. https://thumbsup.mirror.xyz/jxZgGkuuvspr5f9JLkxLrMRVdG5qiW-xLQK1ITd2LxU
