I'd like to point out that you have ascribed to me some sense of scorn towards others, and that you have insulted my approach to argumentation, but that that does not constitute a refutation and does not address the points I'm making.
- mikeash 12y agoYou're right, I didn't. The main thing I wanted to know about your original post is why your morals are relevant to my opinions, and you didn't answer that, but just repeated the standard annoying Libertarian line that libertarianism is the only moral political philosophy.
- innguest 12y ago> why your morals are relevant to my opinions Please show an excerpt where I imply that my morals are relevant to your opinions. When I say 'I have a moral problem with your willingness to "force" someone to do something' I mean 'I can refute it on moral grounds'. The refutation being, forcing someone/a monopoly/a group of people/a corporation to act against its incentives is perverse (it minimizes freedom) and especially so when there are alternatives that are not perverse and that maximize freedom, which is competition. I think you're overcomplicating this.
