It is true. Focus on a small state, that can handle the physical safety well, the law and order well, and stay the hell out of my way in all other areas. I don’t want any special privilege, I don’t want any ”gifts” from the state, I just want to feel safe to freely interact with anyone in mutually beneficial ways. On the OTHER hand, I do not want any other people getting some special privilege, or special ”gifts”.
And if someone gets hyper super rich in that kind of environment he’s deserved it, on the condition that he follows the clear and simple rules that constitute this hypothetical state.
People who don’t make it will have to rely on friends, relatives and the empathy of strangers. That will be a better alternative than being dependent on an ever expanding ”empathetic” state.
