So an interesting thought on my mind; thinking about the Austrian school of economics, the non-aggression principle.

First, it does seem intuitive that in fact, we do optimize things to prevent unnecessary aggression. For example, think about life in LA, traffic. There are some people who commit aggression against you. I suppose my greatest question is when you first start off acting pacifying, peaceful, your promote peace, And then others aggressive against you, what is the logical response?

So there is one school of thought, which is like always always always be peaceful, but the second that other people act aggressive towards you, you act aggressive back.

Another school of thought is when people act aggressive towards you, you be the bigger man and you let it slide like water off the ducks back, you do not let their insanity blind you.

What do you have to lose?

So this is a big thing, once you have a kid everything changes. And also when you have a kid in the car.

That asymmetry at hand is that you have a lot of these insane single people driving cars without kids in the car, and they have no idea that you have a kid in the car. Even if you have one of those plenty bumper stickers that say you have a kid in the car, most people either tend to ignore it, or don’t pay heed.

Also the big problem is a lot of people are driving under the influence, whether alcohol or marijuana. I’ve seen so many people in Los Angeles have the audacity to smoke a joint while driving and stuck in traffic even the manager of the gym I used to go to Chris told me that a lot of people who work in construction, after a long day of work will just crack open a beer, down a beer, and then just drive home.

Homeless people

A funny thought; only homeless people smoke cigarettes?

And also, what is the best way to deal with homeless people? Just avoid them like the plague! Walk to the other side of the street.

So maybe the best strategy is just treating other people like they’re homeless?
