I know many will read my financial experiences and see failure. I haven't failed; I succeeded when the odds were totally stacked against me. I made good what life threw at me. I survived … with my values intact.

I can only agree.

🙄 There are positions between radical freedom and behaviourism.

If I break your legs you can't choose to walk, whether or not you have a self causing free will.

I feel massive contempt for people who think themselves so clever that if they don't see nuance in an argument it means the other party is wrong.

The discussion is about wealth, not walking. If you break my legs that may inhibit my ability to work in certain fields, but it does not completely prevent me from obtaining money.

Sigh, right wing trolls are all the damn same.

"Anyone who disagrees with me on a single issue is a right wing troll!"

No, just people who interact in bad faith why spouting right wing talking points 😘

Please explain how I have interacted "in bad faith". I've argued my position pretty clearly, without resulting to the ad-hominem attacks you seem to rely on.
