I appreciate the gentle approach taken by you in critiquing this minefield of red flags. I was about to respond to it a great deal less gently when I read your diplomatically stated comment, which in these divisive times is probably the most constructive approach, certainly as evidenced by Dr Malone's "like". "Quibbles notwithstanding", indeed; and "reductionism that contains the seeds of yet another tyranny" is beautifully stated and points to the difficulties encountered in generating a coherent philosophy. Coherence is a heavy constraint on degrees of freedom, in physics and in human culture, as reflected in your last sentence and in Larry's reply to you here, though I think he missed your call for "more than a coherent philosophy". Not quite sure where Erl was going with his reply, but I admire his brave bio profile.
Charles, great points, and I agree on the red flags. The most important mechanism missing in the article is sound money. If we had sound money, while adhering to the other mechanisms mentioned in the article, we wouldn’t be where we are today, and we certainly couldn’t have communism. Great points.
