Holy shit, Steem-Os! It is Monday again!!!!
This is the Monday Steem Desk for June 19th, 2017, from Tully's Coffee in beautiful Toyanogata, Niigata City, Japan!
(current Steem price @ coincap.io: $2.04)
(The lady next to me. Her chair just made the same note at the same time as the sax solo on the radio here. Does anyone else notice this shit? Two notes in a row. Same syncopation. Almost same exact pitch! A fuckin' Coltrane café chair!)
My glasses broke again. Fixed them with super glue at this same bookstore...again.
I swear they are beat to shit. Once I make my next move of crypto from here to the bank, I should probably at least consider buying some new ones.
Steem price.
Speaking of which, the Steem price is pretty steady at around two dollars. I would like to see it increase so that future power downs could become more lucrative. Not complaining, though. Steem at this price is still great!
Well, by "great!" I mean, just a few months ago it was under 30 cents. Wicked. So, what do you cats out there in Steem land think. Will HF 19 (hardfork 19) affect the price? If so, how?
Larken Rose/Chase Rachels debate.
I did an extensive summary/recap/critique of this debate here. I hope you'll check it out.
Basically, it boils down to this:
Rose argues mostly correctly and on principle. Rachels tends to euphemise and talk about "approximations of shares" of shared property--"public property"--and how some unnamed and mysterious entity is needed to arbitrate these things.
He then says that if you have been "damaged less" by the state than another individual, this other individual may be given more shares than you at which point...
...even though you are "partial owner" of the public property, you cannot use it...even partially.
Fuck man. This shit makes my ears bleed. Larken seems to also have some trouble in understanding that "freedom of movement" is not a right independent of property, in a couple parts of the debate.
At the end of the day, though, he "won." Rachels was just all over the place with his hypothetical, magical central planning. When asked to discuss how this would be implemented, he of course refused.
William Grigg. Do the "ends justify the means?"
William Grigg.
"The means we employ are the ends in the making."
Important to remember this. Especially when so many are talking about being "pragamatic" or "realistic." I don't want to be "realistic." I want to be real.
Well, Steem-Os, that's it for this episode. Catch you next week, same blog, new Monday!

Happy Monday! Get some new glasses. I'm blind as a bat, allergic to contacts. Last year i shelled out over 600$ for new glasses (two pair, also had been putting off for a while, and of course each eye is a different power = more expensive, Yay! ) :/
I am afraid of getting lasix whereas at the same time i probably should. These peepers are just getting worse.
Also i thought steem was $2.40...but hey thanks for the update. $2 is still great also!

As far as the Rachels/Rose debate, the resolved was regarding whether or not force could be used to restrict access with regards to so-called public property. I wouldn't classify Rachel's refusal to elaborate on how it could happen as a negative; that was outside the scope of the argument. At least, I thought so. The question was if, not how.
I would love to come up with a poll of some kind to see who among those watching thought won the debate, though. Curious to see what the audience as a whole thought.

That's a fair point. Where I take issue, however, is that he claimed his prescribed plan was a libertarian one. It provably is not, as it requires violence against individuals and property. I demonstrated this in my debate review post.
