Bob,
It’s why you pay the $8: long-form.
And it demonstrates why we need long-form.
Because short-form doesn’t permit persuasion – only agitation. Which was Twitter’s bread and butter.

Love you man.
Respect you.
But the Rothbardian era was a malinvestment.
An experiment from Mises to Rothbard to Hoppe, and from Hayek to folks like me. We solved social science in just three or four generations. We can take credit for it. But we can through continued malinvestment in ‘hokey religions’, sophistry, and pseudoscience.
Time to rise above past failures.
Hayek was right. Normative, non-intersubjectively testable property turns out to be the purpose of intersubjective verifiable property.
The Second Abrahamic Sequence of Marxist, NeoMarxist, Postmodern, Rothbardian, Feminist, NeoCon, Woke war on the private and common was just war against the secret of western civilization: the maximization of individual responsibility by the reward for returns on private and common property, beginning with truth before face regardless of cost.

Keep up the good fight.
-Cheers
