Talking about music won't lose you many friends. Talking about the existence of God or the role of government might.

Our minds have access to objective metaphysical truths that we can know with certainty. This is one of them.

Most ideas are wrong and are poorly argued. Most thinkers make foundational errors in their own subject matter. Nobody deserves intellectual deference, and nobody is beyond criticism. I don't care how many accolades somebody has received. I don't care how well-respected they are amongst their colleagues. Chances are, they are fundamentally mistaken about their own subject matter. Georg Cantor was wrong, and he was literally crazy. He died in an asylum. His supposed proof of the "multiple sizes of infinity" is laughable garbage that I consider to be the greatest intellectual catastrophe of all time. http://steve-patterson.com/cantor-wrong-no-infinite-sets/ Kurt Godel was wrong, and he was literally crazy. He died after starving himself to death because he thought the CIA was trying to poison him. Euclid was wrong (or at least, modern interpretations of Euclid are wrong), because of a contradictory theory about "points" and "lines". Name the thinker, and chances are, that person made some fundamental errors in their theories. Nobody should be enshrined as a "genius," whose theories we accept on faith. I don't care that modern mathematicians accept Cantor's flawed arguments - just like I don't care that many Christian theologians think that "God is three distinct persons, yet only one entity." I propose we all be irreverent in our pursuit of truth.

Individualism isn't popular. People want structure and hierarchy - regardless of where they fall in that hierarchy. They want to rule or be ruled. They want camaraderie with other humans from the same class. If what I say is true, it influences what kind of government people desire, and it makes the prospects for mass libertarianism diminish. Still, there are plenty of individualists among us, and we're in the process of building the system that we want to see. Humans will be free - but only if they want it.
