perfidy

Over at Aretae, the debate continues.  Finbarr and Foseti are arguing the Formalist/Moldbug case, and Aretae the Libertarian.  I have to say, this is some of the best debate I've seen on the web.  This is how it should be - people trying to make clear arguments, without making recourse to emotion, or straw men.  This, in other words, is fun.

I haven't had a chance to read thoroughly and weigh in on it all, but I will as soon as I have a moment.

In chronological order, here's the stuff:

• Do the formalists disagree?
• Foseti vs. Aretae
• The formalist libertarian debate part 336
• Formalists vs. Libertarians II

I enjoin you to read it.  And the comments.  There'll be a test.  And while you're at it, go ahead and read Germania and Finbarr's response, The Tribal Origins of Totalitarianism.
