Kristin Tate Dedefensa.org Geolibertarianism: Universal Basic Income Derived from Commons Rent - Policy Brainstorming - The Something to Consider Forum Here's my way-out-there policy proposal, which combines a Georgist take on land ownership with the idea of a Universal Basic Income. This is known as geolibertarianism1, and it's a pretty compelling philosophy to me. What do you folks think? Georgism, or The Commons as Communal Property In my opinion, the traditional attitude of land as marketable private property is flawed. extractable resources (minerals and hydrocarbons)severables (forests and stocks of fish)extraterrestrial domains (geosynchronous orbits and airway corridor use)legal privileges tied to location (taxi medallions, billboard and development permits, or the monopoly of electromagnetic frequencies)restrictions/taxes on pollution or severance (tradable emission permits and fishing quotas)Right-of-way (transportation) used by railroads, utilities, and internet service providersissuance of legal tenderprivileges that are less location dependent but that still exclude others from natural opportunities (intellectual property)

Le Monde diplomatique The Political Compass Advocate Libertarian Philosophy with This One Trick! (It's the Socratic Method) Gage Skidmore via Foter.com / CC BY-SAEven before last weekend's big Libertarian Party National Convention in Orlando, Reason has been making note that the horrible general election reality of Hillary Clinton vs. Donald Trump has prompted people and the media to take a closer look at the most prominent third party in the United States. This naturally puts libertarians (both within and independent of the party) in the position of explaining the libertarian mindset to people who don't really think too much about it or are exposed only to stories dismissing it as craziness. And obviously there are people who are very politically invested in making sure libertarians are seen as total nutters and unserious, holding an untenable philosophy that only crazy or selfish people would believe in. But sometimes it doesn't help when some libertarians attempt to argue from an assumption that all people are operating from the same mindset or values of liberty. Read White's questions here.
C3 Moral Outrage Is Self-Serving, Say Psychologists akg-images/NewscomWhen people publicly rage about perceived injustices that don't affect them personally, we tend to assume this expression is rooted in altruism—a "disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others." But new research suggests that professing such third-party concern—what social scientists refer to as "moral outrage"—is often a function of self-interest, wielded to assuage feelings of personal culpability for societal harms or reinforce (to the self and others) one's own status as a Very Good Person. Outrage expressed "on behalf of the victim of [a perceived] moral violation" is often thought of as "a prosocial emotion" rooted in "a desire to restore justice by fighting on behalf of the victimized," explain Bowdoin psychology professor Zachary Rothschild and University of Southern Mississippi psychology professor Lucas A. Keefer in the latest edition of Motivation and Emotion.
