I just don't understand any kind of absolute egalitarianism philosophy. Whether it's branded as anarcho-capitalism or straight anarchism or sockfucking libertarianism, it always misses the same point.

I need to write this down so it's out of my head and I can fap before bed.

So basically my bud cant understand wittgenstein, so I'm going to use an analogy.


It's like playing texas hold 'em. Your two cards are your life experiences and everything you know, the other persons two cards is everything they know, and the 3 cards in the middle are the conversation. You both can be having the same flop, but it's the cards you hold that determine your reaction. In poker you could always ask to see the other persons hand, how ever in a conversation it's impossible, because when they start to tell you about their life, and why they are like they are. It becomes the flop/conversation and your 2 cards/life effect how you perceive it. So you can never truly understand their cards and how/why they are what ever they are, and why they have those reactions.

Wittgenstein realized something like this, and said "1.1 this leaves to much confusion, 1.2 to solve this shit we can all talk like lawyer dictionary robots. " That way we take alot of ourselves out of the conversation.  So instead of texas you play 52 card pick up.

That sounds about right.

I tried, but I kept thinking of Wittgenstein. It was a real boner kill.

Hey so I don't know if you know this, but Muenster isn't spelled like that.

Who the fuck plays Texas Hold 'Em?

Worst version of poker ever.  In fact, it's not poker.  It's some retarded crap FROM TEXAS.

I'm really glad that I'm not alone in this feeling. I don't know why it's the dominant version of poker these days.

Because you only have two cards to deal with. This is much less complicated than 5 or gods forbid, 7.

It also allows larger numbers of rubes on the same table. Ever wonder why/who made it the "dominant new form of poker"? Clue - Casinos.
