This comment's a bit flippant, but yeah, I've found a consistent ability to produce a steady string of never-addressed "but, wait, what about...?" questions on my part as a defining quality of writing from the libertarian-leaning intellectual set. That Friedman's writing would prompt a reaction like frgtpsswrdlame's is entirely typical of the genre. I continue to be unsure which explanation for this behavior is most charitable.
- RodericDay 10y agoThere's a reason why Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" starts with a protagonist who's healthy, adult, fully educated and credentialed, and also a straight white dude. It sells a fantasy that lots of people find palatable, like one of those "get skinny with no effort!" device or drug commercials.
