There are as many possible theories of art as there are ways of regarding art; the Greeks regarded it from the moral point of view not because the Greek artist thought in a different way from any other but because their thought was predominantly political, and art, like drainage, undoubtedly performs some function in the state.

In principle you do not have to adopt new-right values in order to use public choice patterns of argument. (...) However, a majority of public choice writers in fact espouse political values and policies normally associated with conservatism.

"Radical technophiles like Moravec envision humanity moving to a higher state of being and attaining immortality by merging their minds with computers. Far more than theories of evolution, these techno-utopias represent neo-Cartesian assumptions that mind is substance and body is an accidental trait as well as secular manifestations of the Christian quest for immortality."

Bell’s arguments (Bell, 1964 and Bell, 1971) against local hidden variable theories proceed by means of inequalities; it is noted in (Koç, 1992) that in these arguments Bell does not consider the geometrical (or, algebraic) properties of the quantum mechanical correlation function (for a system of spin-1/2 particles in the singlet state). It is shown in (Koç, 1992) that, due to the geometry (or, algebraic properties) of the quantum mechanical correlation function, Bell’s arguments in (Bell, 1964 and Bell, 1971) are inconclusive. In addition to this, it is asserted in (Koç, forthcoming) that Wigner’s argument (Wigner, 1970) against local hidden variable theories is similarly inconclusive because of the geometrical (or, algebraic) properties of the quantum mechanical probability functions (for a system of spin-1/2 particles in the singlet state).

For Hayek social justice is a myth, a search for the impossible. Unlike some public choice theorists, Hayek believes that not even the market rewards merit.
