RE: Check Your Rationality Before You Wreck Your Morality
Hi Erick. You are off to a good start. I'm new to Steemit too, and I write about voluntaryism too. You mentioned parenting, and that is a difficult topic for me to address with others. I don't have kids, but I have seen how people can work with their kids without violence... it's really hard to explain that to someone who was raised in a violent home.
My blog is about voluntaryism and finding ways to have a conversation with statists so that we have a chance of making some progress... kind of on a similar track.
how do you have 120 followers with one post and one upvote?
Thanks. I think this approach can be a powerful one. Namely the argument that it is your moral duty to look for a peaceful solution before you resort to violence. It has worked to get two friends to stop believing in corporal punishment. I usually ask how hard they tried to look for alternatives, have they read any books, listened to podcasts, asked peaceful parents etc. It always turns out that they could have tried harder. If they haven't done any research at all then their default position should never be that violence is necessary.
It seems that all of my followers are bots that follow everybody. I made this account about a year ago but then never used it until now.
