1) Infiltration into what? You can't have a state unless the vast majority of the people are religious or violent-minded and willing to obey such authority in the first place. If they are, then clearly there's nothing anyone can do about it anyway. hence the point of this discussion, and to bring...

I think perhaps you answered your own question. If it IS a serious problem, it is a problem because it affects tangible property (lungs, trees, sunscreen sales etc!). If it isn't a serious tangible problem, then there's no need to worry, right? If people are concerned about the effects of CO2...

Some hypotheticals: DRO firms take on investigations because it is good for their reputation, it adds to their portfolio which looks good for potential clients. I for one would sign up for a DRO with the best record of solving/investigating crimes and protecting people, *especially the poorest* - because...

Forgive me if this question has been answered already, but... Supposing multiple DROs are competing for customers in a given area, and they all offer pollution insurance. Well, assuming that each DRO is going to offer economic incentives to factories and road companies etc. in the area so that they won't...

Now, DROs aren't limited governments, because a government is by definition a group of people who claim and enforce the right to initiate violence in a given geographical area, against the wishes of the citizens. DROs are perfectly...

Christopher Hellstrom: Hello fellow ancaps.! I'm of course a devoted ancap., but there are some questions I need to get straightened out, in order to become better at convinsing others about ancap., which I'm close to doing in some cases. 1. How would law be provided? There are many options,...

chewgarus: John: Sorry, that just seems rather arbitrary and chrono-centric to me - that there is a set immovable line of rationality that the human species is incapable of crossing. Right- if you are to believe in free will (or at least whichever non deterministic offshoot you accept), suggesting things...

John: I would say that just as software produced by a free software market constantly evolves to better suit the needs of the end user, so too will the readability of contracts once they are produced in a free legal system. i agree with that. in the free market, i think, the opposite of the second law...

let me organize my comprehension of DROs... DROs have economic incentive not to use violence, not to lie, not to do negative government-esque actions in general. You choose which DRO to get involved with, but a DRO is necessary for basic living needs. they do charge for their services, but they don't...

If you don't get that DROs are voluntary, and compete to be as minimally-intrusive as humanly possible, and do not have the power to tax you, throw you in prison at a whim, start wars, debase your money, forcibly indictrinate your children etc etc etc, then you need to start listening to the podcast...
