I sort of have this opinion that if you’re not libertarian when young that you might not be so great a conservative when you mature. The reason is that it teaches you economics and gives you a logic of human behavior. Conservatives remain inarticulate prisoners of both their own normativity and historical moral narratives without the ability to speak scientifically about behavior.

Since I’m a hayekian more so than a misesian or rothbardian (urbanite, ghettos), and since I’m an anglo (island empire) and not a german (continental city states) I tend to think of each of us trying to solve the problem of the state in the context of our three histories.

And I attribute my libertarianism to a search for a formal logic of economics, social science and law. I found it there but it was wrong. So … in finding what was wrong I discovered what was right.

Thanks for sharing the journey.
