Default Re: Simple reason why I do not think taxation = theft

I missed the prior post where you asked about "bias" being eliminated through evolution?

What would the mechanism of selection be to eliminate bias? If anything I would think that "bias" would be self-reinforcing genetically, rather than the opposite. (I personally think that human evolution has essentially reached its maximum, but still dont see a mechanism for selecting against bias, even if we havent reached an evoloutionary plateau.)

The mechanism to eliminate bias is simple. voluntary interactions benefit both parties, bias is effectively rejecting these interactions without cause. Therefore those who don't reject those interactions out of hand will have more opportunities to participate in beneficial transactions.
