I guess I’m only 1/4 libertarian. I don’t think competition is enough. The risk of harm needs to be balanced as well. With airplanes, you have not only the risk to paying customers, but to bystanders who in many cases cannot be made

I knew a woman[0] who ate nothing but ramen noodles for six months during her freshman year at college. She collapsed in class and had to be taken to the ER. I forget what all was wrong with her, but she was at least severely malnourished

I don't think there is any point in continuing this conversation. You originally posted that someone was being "dishonest" because he wasn't "objective." That is simply incorrect, in the same way that stating

Being honest doesn’t have anything to do with being objectively correct, unless a person is presenting their subjective feelings as objective fact. Saying to someone “your work is not good enough for me” is a subjective statement; whether o
