 It's easy to be a good agorist: just pretend that other humans have the right to do whatever they want, while you sit on your own bench eating pizza.

But seriously, a good agorist knows that so-called "rights" are really just a series of obligations to cooperate. This means you have to be willing to give in and give up things, all while taking care of your own and your own property with great attention to detail.

You have to be a skilled negotiator, even though you don't have anyone to negotiate with. You have to be an informed and loyal partner, but only under one condition: that other humans have to cooperate with you on your own time and in your own country.

And of course, you have to be always willing to pay for everything, including pizza.
