The learning curve for liberty

I’ve been reading through these forums occasionally and I think most of the users here would agree that a society with limited or no government could be realized much more quickly if it was a commonly held belief that this would be desirable. The trouble is, it is a very steep learning curve to come to this realization and to defend the ideas. For me, it required completely rethinking nearly every aspect of life and spending a large portion of my time reading about it. Mises.org has been a great resource for this, especially for the economic side of things, but I can’t help but wonder if there could be a more efficient way.

So in hopes of exposing the concept of liberty to more people, I’ve been working on a new website…everyone here believes in competition right? :wink: Basically the goal is to identify specific liberties that are compromised and to give arguments for and against these compromises. It operates as a sort of wiki, so anyone can get on and add/modify arguments. I think it’s very important to have arguments from from many viewpoints in order to avoid turning people away.

Anyways, if you’re interested, visit Liberty As You Know It and let me know what you think. I’m open to any suggestions/criticisms.

My only criticism, is I hope you don’t plan to use the Mises Community to promote your site, without contributing here.

And as far as suggestions, you should find a cleaner template, that one is much too dark and isn’t very readable.

Other than that, good luck. Competition and collaboration are good.

Thanks for the heads up on the readability. It shows up clearly on my display, but maybe it’s brighter than others.

I will definitely start contributing. There are many interesting topics here. Perhaps I should’ve contributed a bit before bringing up the website! Sorry about that.
