Studied political philosophy, middle class background, wanted to work as a musician. How did this guy end up being a Libertarian in the first place? Perhaps he was influenced by a group of privileged people around him who were identifying with Libertarianism to justify their own selfishness. I'm only speculating wildly here. Myself, I'm the guy who dropped out of school to support myself, no family support to fall back on (in fact, I support them now) and I've managed to overcome that and make a success of my life. I started out believing in socialism and my own successes lead me to Libertarianism. The article surprised me, because I also outgrew Libtertarianism, because I know that even though I made most of my luck I am still more fortunate than many others. I believe that with the productivity gains we've made in society, unnecessary toil and suffering should be limited. However, when it comes to how to share around this wealth, I'll still tilt over to the Libertarian side. I don't see it as some kind of utopian system, I see it as a direction. You can go in the direction of more centralised control and power to try to impose fairness, or you can go in the direction of less concentrated power and decentralise it more.
