When you don't have God, whatever your highest value is becomes your God.
If you are an atheist who doesn’t have kids, that God tends to be yourself or your conception of yourself. Your identity.
This is a particular problem for libertarians who are atheists, childless or unmarried.
Libertarianism often becomes their God, and their identity as a libertarian becomes their religion, when it was only ever supposed to be your legal theory. And because they are trying to make it something much bigger than what it was supposed to be, they end up getting the theory wrong.
This is why goofy woke libertarians will say things like “being trans doesn’t violate the nap, so why do you care” when libertarianism has nothing to say about caring. All libertarianism tells us is that I can’t beat a trans person over the head with a club or support the government doing it. It doesn’t tell me that I have to pretend a dude in a dress is a woman.
This is also why some libertarians recoil at hypotheticals, or real world situations where there aren’t perfect libertarian solutions currently available.
I guess my point is that you should be a libertarian and it’s fine if that’s a part of your identity, but there should be things you value way above it. God, family, friends, community, being a decent person, should all be more important to you than your legal theory.
@Shehzad89 He’s made fun of everyone. I have seen Sawa 14 August. At one point the Zardari character yelled “tu ho ga muhajir! Kaala bhi hai!” and everyone laughed.
That’s how art brings people closer, in the real world. Happy to help you and your guest.
Isko dekho… (recall Najam Sethi’s “the taliban have said they’ll only be targeting the govt so the PSL can go on”).
I mean how can any of this be called real?
Forget doom and gloom of politics and economy . Let's celebrate Pakistan. Let's celebrate Babar Azam. An India Today poll in India confirmed Babar is at least twice better batsman than Virat Kohli. Massive 68 percent Indians against 32 percent say Babar Azam's numbers far better than Virat Kohli's. Also Thank You nation's dearest Babar Azam to make Pakistan world's number one ODI team👏👏👏May our leadership allow Pakistan to harness its true potential 🤲
It really needs a new language to be described.
EVERYBODY plays. And NONE of it is real. And it is commented on/analyzed like it’s a game show happening to others. In some kind of power move, people pretend to have detached from their own lives by becoming an analyst of it.
What happens in Pakistan is in fact not reality. On a daily basis, a pretend game goes on that, quite remarkably, the public itself is an active participant of.
Trying to resist commenting on Pakistan while situation so unclear. But I will say that in the years I’ve been following Pak, every time it reaches such a crisis that you think it must change, it doesn’t. It stumbles on, slowly getting worse but never enough to change course.
