JerameeIf Ayn Rand's own life wasn't enough to show that libertarianism is a failed idea, we now have further evidence.
Alistair YoungOf course, the underlying conclusion here is "Humans are such dogmatic non-cooperators that they are literally incapable of solving even simple coordination problems without someone standing over them with a big stick."
Not really a good solution to that other than "let the stupid bastards die off and give the dogs a chance to run the world".
Winchell Chung ⚛🚀"People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn't that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people."
And thus we have libertarian transhumanism: the attempt to develop a people capable of functioning without a bunch of jackbooted jackasses telling them what to do all the time.
Can't be that hard, right?
...right?
I've never seen a libertarian in real life who approaches that. Most that I've seen are simps for rich capitalists who are anti regulation. Are there many of them, or just a small fringe?
It sounds surprisingly like anarchism.
