No, you can't take them, you can only enforce them or violate them
"They" are really only one: property
Again, the right of property comes from the nature of man in the universe and the nature of interactions between persons

Rights are obligations on others. They come from two beings each recognizing the other as a subject, or end, in themselves rather than just an object

Keep in mind that your bones, like your hip sockets, may not allow that kind of extreme flexibility

Blockchains simply don't scale, another layer is necessary if you want to keep any kind of blockchain base layer

Eh, when you call it FUD ... was a good article though

And? Any of that false?

One easy way to scale Bitcoin is to rely on intermediaries. In fact, Lightning is pretty much exactly that

I actually kinda like monero, but there are a few possible problems people have with it.
1. Tail emission. This is probably the biggest problem maxis have with monero, I think it's overblown, it's a constant tail emission, not percentage based.
2. Verification of the actual number of coins in existence. One can't see the balance of accounts, so one can't verify this. Again, I don't consider this a huge problem, as this is also true of gold. However, maybe there was a pre-mine we don't know about.
3. Tribalism, fear, etc. They're heavily invested in Bitcoin and don't want any competition. I think there is space for a few different coins, Bitcoin probably always being the biggest, but Bitcoin and Monero are complementary until Bitcoin has a very fast, cheap, high tps and private layer 2.

No, I'm saying coins can scale to as many people as there are: billions of transactions per second. Every person on earth can give their partner a coin at the same time

No. Coins and cash are enormously scalable in the sense of transactions per second. They can have problems in long distance or large value transactions - where ledgers and clearing operations can be useful.
Bitcoin does not solve the transactions per second problem. This will require a layer 2, or Bitcoin notes, to solve ... assuming one uses Bitcoin as the base layer.

Economies don't have a "goal," people do. Economic models can certainly include slavery -- I think you are confusing "model" with "ideal." There is no reason that a model has to be of what is "good"

I think you didn't read the article. The point is that certain economic assumptions underlie any particular system of ethics. Ethics depends on economics -- and "correct" ethics also depends on a "correct" understanding of economics. It's a little like historical materialism
