Talking with Don at the moment on why so many CS guys leann libertarian: because our generation understands (a) information transfer, (b) undecidability of propositions, (c) correspondence vs causation (d) the frailty of reason that writing software forces you to accept (e) the problem of computability (existence proof), (f) the incentives provided to users via interacting with information they observe.

Hoppe’s generation did not have it. Plus he was trained by Marxists and their reliance on rationalism, in German universities under german rationalism. He didn’t have the luxury of standing on the shoulders of Turing, and so when he read through the Intuitionist and Operationalist argument he did not understand that they had found what Mises had failed to.

I’m lucky. I can stand on the shoulders of Hoppe and On the shoulders of Turing, Poincare, Brouwer, Bridgman.
