You can be positive that your “race” is superior to all others, and believe some “races” aren’t fully human, but as long as that belief doesn’t cause you to violate anyone else, who is it hurting?

How to Form the Decisiveness Habit
People who are plagued with indecisiveness generally know they don’t want to be that way, so I won’t belabor the point. It’s not fun, and I feel compassion for those who have this difficulty. So how can we form the habit of being decisive instead?
Voluntary Aggression
Back around the Turn of the Millennium (Y2K), when I became aware in a formal sense of my voluntaryism, my libertarianism, my adherence to the NAP/ZAP (Non-Aggression Principle/Zero Aggression Principle), my recognition that 99.99999% of the Universe functions under anarchy, I also became aware that I needed to reconcile some of my cherished childhood beliefs.

How the Work Week Encourages Short-Term Thinking
Problems can’t be left behind in one week. They will follow us to the next. This is surprising to some people, but it shouldn’t be. By dividing our lives into these discrete chunks called “work-weeks”, we can too easily shuffle away “the old units” down the memory hole.
Rights – Reciprocal or Absolute?
First off, let’s get this out of the way: if rights are imaginary, then no one has any rights, including the right to rule, so that gets rid of the specter of “legitimate government” (among other atrocities) right off the bat.
