    When dealing with the non-experimental, answers are certainly knowable, yet nobody knows how to know them.

    We know perfectly well the answers to many questions, and not using that knowledge to patch the known errors seems folly. I'm all for maximizing liberties, but that does not extend to actions that affect other people's liberties.

    Do you think killing and stealing should be legal?
    Killing/stealing what? Who? When? How? Who gets to decide what the parameters are?

    My view is that "wrong" is the initiation of violence or fraud. Ultimately, a society is made up of a collection of persons who determine some mainstream view of how to regulate what is "wrong". My protest is when initiation of violence is used (tax based monopolies) to regulate. Laws are really, really great stuff, but laws that are funded by initiation of violence are not the kind of laws that I think people would choose if they could freely choose.

    I'm pretty sure, in this context, CoccoBill refers to killing other people and stealing stuff also from others.

    If you kill an ant no one (should) give(s) a shit.

    If you take a rock on a beach, no one (should) give(s) a shit either.

    The parameters are those of modern civilized society LDO. Post vikings, genghis khan, mayas, django, wild west, etc. In some societies nowadays you steal and you get your hand cut off and that is also something I can't agree with (should you get your hand cut off because you were hungry and desperate and stole someone's loaf of bread? should you get your hand cut off when you stole someone's house(which is what those who administer this law do, yet get away with but that's another story)?), most notable example of this is pre-mohamed bin salman's saudi arabia

    What exactly constitutes murder in each circumstance and what exactly constitutes theft in each circumstance? Billions of dollars and countless hours are spent annually on answering these questions.
