Reading saifedean (npub1gdu…6nak) “Principles of economics” and it is making a lot of sense. Most people think that humans naturally want to pillage, kill, and take what they can from others , and the state is the thing that is keeping us from following our evil instincts. But this book explains it clearly, each of us are better off engaging in consensual trade with each other. After explaining the math behind it, saifedean then sums it up nicely, “every morning they both wake up facing a choice: cooperate and eat more, or be hostile and eat less”. This is just another reminder that the state is just a huge parasite that steals from us and doesn’t contribute, and that we naturally are incentivized to collaborate with each other.
