I have high standards.

I guess that would explain the ideological similarity…

I did too, for a while. There isn’t much nuance to discuss when you fundamentally reject most premises!

Epicurus, I’m not sure if you’re in college like I am, but I’m appreciative of that exact same thing.

Just got out, getting ready for a masters program. Ya, Ive actually had someone say to me “Why are you watching the Discovery channel” with disgust. When I replied “to learn things,” I got this disgusting response; “ugh, I don’t want to learn anything…”

That day solidified to me that there is a problem in the populace

Forget Desperate Housewives, it’s all about the Jersey Shore.

Forget Desperate Housewives, it’s all about the Jersey Shore.

I understand both- I’m first year undergrad, and some of the roommates/building mates A) like Jersey Shore (and the complete non-guido “guidos”) and B) hate Discovry/Science/History channels, as they have a hard enough time getting through their normal classes.

As for good posters,

Neoclassical/StrangeLoop

Grayson Lilburne

nirgrahamUK

Student

Sieben; to name a few- the list could go on and on

shoutout to bloomj31 and juan

because the forums wouldnt have been half as funny to lurk LOL

haha

I’m so awesome! :sunglasses:

Everyone I learn something I read a post of him and/or her:

  • Lillburne

  • Neoclassical (apparantly ‘strangeloop’ now a days)

  • EconomistInTraining

  • AdamKnott

  • and many others who I’ve probably benefited from, but have forgotten their names.

My all time favorite is Esuric; because - in a way - I feel like he’s very complementary with what I know, so I benefit a lot from his points.

Grayson for inspiration

Liberty Student for wisdom and support

Esuric all things economic

Vichy Army for encylopedic knowledge of law and cough a unique attitude.

Neoclassical/Strangeloop for injecting the neoclassical literature to this forum.

Clayton for being the conspiracy theorist I’m too lazy to be :stuck_out_tongue:

Grayson Liliburne: For being probably the most polite, well informed forum member outside of the staff themselves. That, and for creating Human Action Comics, which I eagerly await the next issue of.

LibertyStudent: For taking a “hands-on” approach to promoting his political views, a trait very sadly lacking in most Internet pundits. That, and bulldozing through doubletalk and BS like a supercharged bulldozer running on fusion power.

Merlin: For being pragmatic while not selling out your beliefs, and because the world needs more polite Internet users from Eastern Europe.

Joint: Jackson LaRose and Liberte: For showing both the locals and lurkers what real egoism is, and for sticking up for your beliefs under high pressure.

Student: For being an unofficial ambassador for mainstream economics, a voice sorely needed to counteract the misconceptions and outdated notions some have about other schools.

Prateek Sanjay: Anybody who can make me overcome my prejudice against people with “default” avatars, and provide a perspective from India and one’s own philosophy, deserves a spot on this list.

Joint: assimalilateur and yuberries: Because I can’t decide which of your avatars is funnier,.

Gee, here I thought my avatar would be the one winning me a nod or two, but I guess the forum does get a bit serious sometimes, so humor can be a valuable commodity.

If I have time this week, I’ll try to sort out some nods of my own.

Hall of Fame:

  • Grayson Lilburne - For knowledge. The forum’s Dr. of Philosophy.
  • Liberty Student - A powerful, uncompromising, force for liberty.
  • Esuric - For his knowledge of both Austrian & mainstream perspectives, and his ability to clearly explain both. Simply the best.
  • Sieben - Best formal debater on the forum.
  • Adam Knott - He writes books about Praxeology. What more can I say?
  • nirgrahamUK - For his ability to bring reason to a crazy post.
  • Jonathan Catalan - For his ever increasing list of Mises Daily articles. A prolific writer.
  • Clayton - A sharp dude, well read. Writes interesting posts.
  • Nielsio - Defends liberty. Visit Nielsio’s Channel on You Tube.
  • AdrianHealey - Remarkable knowledge of AE. Good debater, too. [Edited that bit about being 19!]
  • Jon Irenicus - Patient to a degree. He is hilarious when he “loses it”. The bleeding eye says it all.
  • AJ - Strong logical debater.
  • Conza88 - Don’t mess with Conza. He started the Freedom Images thread, one of the best on the forum.

Probably more…

Special Mention

  • Student - I learned if I am going to criticize the mainstream, I better know what I’m talking about.
  • Neoclassical/StrangeLoop - I’m not sure what to make of him, but he adds interest to the forum.

Will you be less impressed if I said I was almost 22 by now (the bio-thing is from 2 years ago)? If so; than I’m gonna shut up and still pretend I’m 19. >:<

I like to think that if it wasn’t for socialized education we would all be multilingual austrian masters by 16

Then this whole forum population would be rather unimpressive.

I enjoy Clayton’s posts. Wish I could enjoy my own someday.

No sir, still impressed even though you’re almost 22. You can stay in the Hall of Fame!

Thank God!
