Would you guys eat that synthetic beef that some scientists are developing?

I for one am quite excited at the prospect

i hope it tastes good

Absolutely.

do you know if they can achieve the grain?

Not sure tbh, i was just reading about it/watching a video on bbc news yesterday

though the idea of growing meat in vats is nothing new per se

they were just talking about ground beef though i think so maybe growing steaks is still not within the scope of their experiments

If fish became unethical, maybe. Would depend on the ingredients and nutritional content though.

If so it's kind of meaningless if it's relative to a particular society or culture then moral relativism would hold that it may be morally okay to justify executing people for non payment of taxes.

I know, that's what I said. But at the same time, there's a conflict in recognizing moral relativism and innitiating force against those that disagree with your morality. And the innitiation of force is the only thing I'm personally not that relative about (and I also know that that itself is a morally unrelative position to take). I get the contradiction though. But where morality ttly fails, there's also the matter of pragmatism and what works best. got it covered on all bases m7s

APOLOGIES FOR THE EXTREMELY OFF TOPIC POST

I could go onnnn about this for ages, but I'ma just give you some links.

Counter-economics is one. Creating a shadow economy. Bitcoin and the Silk Road were created with the ideas of agorism in mind (even Austrian economics). 3D printed guns too.

Projects like these can serve to decrease the size and scope of government. Also electing anti-government officials helps.

But the most realistic one to me is seasteading.

What people aren't doing but what I personally favor is just collecting money to buy a huge part of land for likeminded people to inhabit and to privatize everything in it. It's similar enough to seasteading, though. I think in the space age, there'll be a lot of an-cap communities all over.

I think it'll be a fairly gradual thing working in multiple facets. Pockets of anarcho-capitalism have always existed and still do. Private courts have in the past, there's a private non-violent law-enforcement in Detroit (that does a lot of charitable work).

Some of these are violent (the free state project, politics), but they reduce violence, so it's better than nothing. Though I'm not really sure how I feel about voting.

I'd be in on seasteading
