> People are entitled to nothing from others beyond being free from direct harm. You state this as though it is an absolute fact. In reality, it's completely arbitrary, vague and reflects only your personal values. What is direct harm? Why am I entitled to not being caused it? Why am I not entitled to being free from indirect harm? If I poke at you, not directly, but using a stick, is that indirect harm? Is not paying you the agreed upon price dorect harm? Why is there a responsibility to honor agreements, but nothing else? Even given a generous interpretation of "direct harm" it doesn't reflect society as it is: in reality, people cooperate, compete, create hierarchies, cause and accept harm, lead and are led and assign and divide responsibilities amongst themselves according to a wide range of value systems...so I guess yours is just some kind of prescriptive wishful thinking? Sort of like the libertarian version of the ten commandments?
