Right-libertarians don’t accept the existence of monopolies.

Are you saying musical instruments are learned entirely by observation, not by production?

There’s no way I can stretch to believing that.

you’d also need to show evidence of babies not learning their first language this way to refute it

By that logic, it’s refuted. Children produce language during the learning phase.

Paper lasts for thousands of years under the right conditions.

How do you maintain the right conditions for thousands of years?

There’s nothing that can stick around 1 million years

And then, how long does the Roman Empire last? That’s one of those great questions. The conventional answer is usually sometime in the fifth century, so the 400s AD, so about another 500 years, let’s say. So nice kind of even division, 500 years of Republic, 500 years of empire. But you can make very good cases for lots of other dates for the end of the Roman Empire. I actually think it goes all the way through the end of the Byzantine Empire in 1453, so another 1500 years, but that’s a whole other discussion. But so that’s your three phases of Roman history

You’re welcome!

I’ve never seen any persuasive evidence to support Krashen’s hypotheses.

You’re making exactly the right-libertarian point the meme mocks.

Explain why you think “private property” should get special privileges.

Language Transfer is pretty neat, though it doesn’t have many languages.

Don’t try to optimise language-learning just keep putting one foot in front of the other and don’t let your zeal flag.
