I’m back from the Alabama Philosophical Society annual conference – the first time in three years that I’ve been able to make it back there. The forecast was for rain all weekend, but happily, while there was heavy rain on the drive down and light rain on the drive back, the weather in Pensacola was fair and sunny.
I gave a paper on labour exploitation from a left-libertarian perspective. I got to hang out with my friend Irfan Khawaja, whom I haven’t seen in quite a few years; he was there to give a paper on the ethics of voting. Irfan and I chatted on such subjects as “Randians be crazy,” “libertarians be crazy,” “cops be crazy,” und so weiter.

Hey, it was great to see you after so long! Here’s to hanging out again sooner rather than later.
Of course, that will only happen once I overcome the reservations I have about spending time with an unapologetic members of “the Left.” I’m a little uncomfortable with your invocation of such cultural Marxist terminology as “exploitation.” Don’t you realize that such irresponsible talk invites anarchy?

Re La Valle’s piece: so a Pence presidency would be anarchy? I did not know.
“…so a Pence presidency would be anarchy? I did not know.”
See what you can learn from The Atlas Society? Personally, I was gratified to learn something I didn’t know–that Snoop Dogg is a fixture of the American Left. I guess he neva left it?

Sorry, typo: I meant “unapologetic member” of the Left. “Unapologetic members” sounded a little more risque than intended.
I’m a bit wary of hanging out with someone who uses such mainstream statist terminology as “voting.” Don’t you realize that such irresponsible talk invites archy?
Despite your wariness-inducing cultural Marxist left-radicalism, Roderick…

This is a conversation that makes me feel wistful about not having attended this meeting of the APS.
One of the topics Roderick forgot to mention: We be crazy.
