Investor, author. I write about financial independence, entrepreneurship, and the libertarian theory of the family.

[Jake Desyllas @jakedesyllas]

This is the most important issue libertarians need to confront. I hope they're willing to. https://t.co/cksySpRCrn

So @jakedesyllas has a new episode on his "The Voluntary Life" podcast, a recording from the 2023 Freedom Fest

It's great, give it a listen. Covers entrepreneurship and financial independence!

Critics love to claim libertarians think parents can abandon their children. It's the #1 attack on libertarian ethics. @RyanMcMaken and @JakeDesyllas show why they're wrong, and why libertarian principles actually demand more from parents, not less. #RothPod

[Jake Desyllas @jakedesyllas]

@NSKinsella I look forward to your response. I'm a lifelong atheist, not a Christian and although I disagree with you on this issue, I've never argued that you are acting in bad faith.

[Jake Desyllas @jakedesyllas]

@NSKinsella Here is my response to your arguments https://t.co/CZF6qXiXhQ

[Jake Desyllas @jakedesyllas]

@NSKinsella You now abandon the argument that rights are based on ability to argue and switch to arguing abortion is difficult to police. This is irrelevant and evading the question at hand.

[Jake Desyllas @jakedesyllas]

@NSKinsella Apparently you are happy to logically commit yourself to supporting newborn infanticide along with Singer, Tooley and the other consistent pro-choice philosophers who make that argument.

[Jake Desyllas @jakedesyllas]

@NSKinsella So, do you agree that argumentation ethics entails self ownership from the beginning of life then?

[Jake Desyllas @jakedesyllas]

@bryan_caplan do you agree that parents have enforceable positive obligations through tort liability for creation of peril? Here's the argument: https://t.co/cksySpRCrn

[Jake Desyllas @jakedesyllas]

@BiblicalAnarchy and @MereLiberty on your podcast you recently discussed this question: are parental obligations legally enforceable according to libertarianism? Here's an article that makes the case for yes: https://t.co/cksySpSagV

[Jake Desyllas @jakedesyllas]

@NSKinsella btw you can comment on my site- comments are on. Not sure why you encountered a problem.

[Jake Desyllas @jakedesyllas]

@NSKinsella Thanks for your response. I've replied here https://t.co/CZF6qXjv7o but I welcome a discussion if you are open to it.
