IMPENETRABLE INTUITIONS

Conservatives are not anti statists – they are happy to use the state to enforce the family as the central organization of society. Neo reactionaries are, I think, monarchists and private statists. Libertarians are anarchists.

So my argument for the expansion of the common law to address all forms of theft (involuntary transfer) is a violation of scripture for libertarians. It may be overly intellectual for reactionaries. And it is both overly intellectual, morally counter intuitive, and unnecessary to conservatives. 😉

I’m sitting with a friend. A highly informed libertarian. “I cant understand what you’re saying.”

Its not morally intuitive. And that statement tells you everything you need to know about the problem of expressing a universal logic if moral philosophy in rational and ratio-scientific terms.

Sigh.
