Anonymous asked:

I think the most glaringly naive and myopic part of ancaps ideal worldview is the fact they think collusion amongst organizations wouldn't take place to the point where states would emerge. Hell, there are modern corporations right now that are more powerful than many smaller nation states and if it was just a matter of sheer resources and manpower they'd absolutely get their own military companies like coca cola have even conspired with paramilitary organizations

argumate answered:

I think any serious anti-state ideology acknowledges that it requires constant vigilance to prevent the emergence of another state, which requires viewing any sufficiently large organisation with extreme suspicion, as well as the constant propagation of memes warning against the perils of statehood (statedom?)

This fucks up freedom of association to an absurd degree, but you can get out of it by being okay with a state being established “without coercion”, eg. you’re born into a world where you have to explicitly sign the social contract or starve, unlike our current world where you implicitly sign the social contract or starve.

...I see the division of Batman predates the comic book character... well played, Australia... well played...

argumate answered:

Melbourne was in fact founded by Batman, which explains the art deco buildings and the dark brooding winter.

mitigatedchaos

This is a common misconception.  Batman is, in fact, a heavy-handed metaphor for Melbourne itself.  Even the original authors confirmed this in a leaked document released on 4chan.

If you were a committed moral realist, how do you think your other beliefs would be different? What about opinions? Basically, what is committed_moral_realist!argumate like?

argumate answered:

Wow that’s a tough one. At first I think that version of me would be completely unrecognisable, but then I’m not so sure. I already have very strong moral inclinations, even though I am aware they are not baked into the universe; perhaps if I believed that these moral principles were fundamentally real then there would be few observable differences in my behaviour, besides what I might say in discussions about moral realism!

To think otherwise is to fall into the Jack Chick fallacy, where an absence of the god of Abraham immediately gives one a license to kill, cheat, and steal.

mitigatedchaos

That’s actually my estimate about what would be different in the Moral Owl Argumate AU, but the Argumate fanfic writers disagree with me.

Anonymous asked:

what are the didgeridoos and don'ts when visiting your country?

argumate answered:

how about don’t use the word didgeridoo in casual speech unless you’re Ned Flanders huh

mitigatedchaos

Anon, it’s considered impolite to refer to didgeridoos by name in Australia.  Australians refer to them through a number of euphemisms, such as ‘Roo Tubes, Outback Straws, and Raincallers, though they are also called “Aboriginal Bazookas”, or “zooks” for short.

Once you get off the plane in Australia, you will be given one didgeridoo of your own.  Do NOT openly call it a didgeridoo.  Bow quietly in acknowledgement and carry it with you.  Do not lose it.  If you lose your didgeridoo, you won’t be able to leave Australia.
