Now It's Taleb's Turn to Debunk Libertarians (And Their Pseudo Self Serving Intelligence)

I have called bullshit on libertarians beliefs in "miracles" and pure "magic" (the roots of it originates from Judaism and Christianity) which has very little to no practical purpose but they do cause immense harm.

They refuse to comprehend the simple difference between the importance of self-servings and self-sacrificing acts. At a macro level, they delude themselves into conveniently thinking that self-sacrificing for family and society are one and the same. Self-sacrificing for the family is self-serving and as a human being one has a bigger responsibility than that for civilization and morality to survive (leave alone flourishing).

Now Taleb in his own style disseminates them in this twitter thread:

1) Being flooded by first-order (scale-blind) "libertarians" (of the no masks, "freedom" to infect others variety), arguing that reactions to the virus (but not the virus) will cause hunger & famine.

Since when have these selfish sociopathic "libertarians" been concerned w/famine?


2) PRINCIPIA POLITICA shows the effects of scale/localism.
Systemic harm has no tort laws (you can't sue a virus) so you MUST use the Precautionary Principle.

Many libertarians are just cranks & sociopaths.


3) "LIBERTARIAN" is meaningless a designation if you live under silver rules and laws.
Localism is the only way to make what is called LIBERTARIANISM stand on its feet.



4) "Libertarians" are also incoherent: they deny stores the right to require masks & constrain their freedom yet ask for freedom...

Nothing to do with libertarianism: rather a collection of marshmallow brained psychopaths and misfits taking their hatred of humanity too far.
