Default Re: David Sklansky is an ACist

Why do you think morality is subjective?

Do you think it's just really good luck that makes it so eating broccoli or hugging your mom is rarely considered "immoral"?

"Morals" require underlying logic. They are either good for tangible reasons, or they die out.

To address your initial question though, I'm not sure what it means to "be" an ACist. I don't really consider myself one. I'm just some drunk [censored] minding my own business, drinking coffee to try to stay up for a while and get back on a good sleep cycle. Does that count? I figure David is probably the same way. But my point (to whatever extent I have one) in the OP is not merely that David's logic supports AC but that he is actively aware of where his logic leads (even if maybe he doesn't really care enough to label himself). I just think he is a closet anarcho-capitalist, haha.
