Perhaps I'm ignorant of the noise. I think you've got the wrong idea of libertarians. Don't confuse the belief system or the protocol with the actions of individuals. Focus on the signal. We out here to build the future.  

 Anything offering almost absolute freedom will attract the best and worst of humanity. The worst have nowhere else to go but more obscure places, and the best want it to be a beacon of hope. It's the natural consequence of such systems.

 Yeah. It is, what it is. 

 Thomas Sowell. That's who the quote is from. Good one too.  

 Oh! Yes, he's great! I will need to find time to read some of his work. I fear I have said this about 30 people already. 

 😂 You should read it! 

 Which book is recommended? I can't promise I will get around to it for a few years 😅 

 I actually started with "Late Talking Children", which was a godsend.

I didn't know he was an economist, until after reading that and looking for more books. 😂 

 I'll be sure to add it to my server! 
I know of him due to his connections to the monetarist Chicago school of econ, working with Milton Friedman and the like, but I never read their books. 

 His basic economics book is the go to for anyone that doesn't understand econ.
