@fujimoto, @Aillia, @artemis

Curious to hear your thoughts on this list and any you would want me to prioritize. Some will take a lot of work and will likely be huge like Old Norse Anarchism, Religion, and Total Fucking War so I'll likely do those ones a bit later.

This is the one you suggested @Aillia
Religion: Our Greatest Strength Or Our Greatest Weakness
I also added one you didn't suggest from our previous conversations on a topic I think you and I have significant agreement on.
The Subjective Theory of Moral Value

These are a response to your suggestions @fujimoto:
Old Norse Anarchism:
A Positive Vitalist Vision of Anarchism
Total Fucking War: A Practical Strategy For Free Market Anarchists)

@artemis I don't see your suggestion anymore, but you've been engaging on similar discussions previously so I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.

Thanks to you guys for engaging with my posts and comments and providing suggestions for articles. You guys are one of the reasons why I've spent so much time on this site and your thoughtful engagement makes me want to write more on here.

Those three sound interesting, and none of them look like they’re on your “a lot of work” list:

The Subjective Theory of Moral Value
Austrian Economics is Right About Everything...Except the Federal Reserve
Decentralization is Inevitable

IDK what your workflow is: e.g. I have notes for several dozen posts sitting around right now, but if I don’t feel like writing them, I just can’t. I’m not a professional writer, so I can only write when I actually feel like it (otherwise it turns out shit, or just not me e.g. if I use LLM). So for me, asking people what to prioritize would be kind of pointless :))
I think what I’m trying to say is: you should prioritize whatever feels like your priority right now. The list is already strong; the ones you actually want to write will probably come out better than the ones you force :)

Thanks for the mention. I deleted it because I did not receive feedback, so I thought it was not interesting. Happy to post it back if you want to keep it on records.

The list above is impressive, definitely not what I was expecting :) I really look forward to read the following ones:

from a philosophical perspective, "The Subjective Theory of Moral Value" intrigues me.

Following the topic I'm currently diving into:

  • God Isn't Dead, Let's Fucking Kill Him
  • Religion: Our Greatest Strength Or Our Greatest Weakness
  • Christianity and The Spiritual Murder of One of The Most Free Societies in History

As per your nym, I'd also be curious about "Old Norse Anarchism: A Positive Vitalist Vision of Anarchism"

And this? "Freedom is Genetic"? Do you really believe that? I mean... tell me more lol

So, as you can see, many titles resonate with me; prioritise these ones accordingly :)

Really liked the list, and thanks for adding titles in response to my suggestions. Besides the two you added for me, "God Isn't Dead, Let's Fucking Kill Him" and "We Don't Have Time for Incremental Solutions" would definitely catch my interest too.

Since you said Old Norse Anarchism and Total Fucking War are big projects, I'd be happy if you started with "God Isn't Dead" and "Incremental Solutions" first. I can wait for the big ones whenever you get to them, no rush at all.

If you're asking which of the big two I'd pick, it'd be Total Fucking War. I've actually been thinking about writing something on building parallel systems myself soon, so I think trading ideas on this would be useful.

Thanks! Yeah, my plan for Total Fucking War is basically an aggregated and prioritized list of all the effective methods for addressing the state as an adversary. Addressing people comfortable with different levels of effort, providing a templatized baseline for cooperation and direct action. Basically saying whether you'll never break a law (whether legal or moral or religious) in your life or if you crave a high octane anti-state life how you can advance the pro-freedom anti-state cause.
