This is an analogy utterly devoid of any correlative lesson. Consensus adherence to norms of conduct codified are the definition of society and civilization.

This is an analogy utterly devoid of any correlative lesson. Consensus adherence to norms of conduct codified are the definition of society and civilization. Objectivist fantasies to the contrary are only that; they invariably lose their charm the instant someone has the ground of largely unrecognized inherited protections and rights jerked out from under them. That law is selective, imperfect, and constantly trailing the realities of the day are problems worth solving. It is astonishing to me sometimes, listening to the cant of "disruption", how eerily similar the total dependence on parasitic herd immunity antivaxxers enjoy is, to the total dependence of the rule of law and benefits of regulation libertarians and other would-be disruptors enjoy. As the article says: Uber is a cautionary tale in almost every domain, from their relation to their workforce, their "contractors," the cities they work in... Everyone sure loves a subsidized ride, right up until the party's over. I enjoyed subsidized lots-of-things the last couple bubbles too. The party ended then as well.
