He is not a credible source on this, or pretty much anything else. He has some utterly reprehensible views, and is part of a very questionable cult of self-important people.

- pizzazzaro 6y agoSounds to me like a Neoliberal Economist taken to the logical conclusion.
- jimmyswimmy 6y agoMeh. I have never heard of him before, but he has a clearly expressed idea which isn't completely unreasonable. I evaluated the idea on its own merits, and that's where I found it lacking. The man matters nothing to me, only his idea. I submit that this is the only reasonable way of evaluating ideas. We can't all be perfect for all time in history. Edit. Having now read your link, I am less interested in following his blog, but my analysis of his proposal is unchanged knowing more about him.
