Replying to Avatar Peter McCormack

No specific time. This is after 100's of interviews with libertarians, conservatives, progressives and trying to consider how you make things better.

I think Libertarians are morally right but their ideas don't seem to gain traction enough to make a difference. Mike Brock pointed me in the direction of Otto von Bismarck - “Politics is the art of the possible, the attainable — the art of the next best.” which was the basis of the argument I wanted to put together.

I listened to your recent interview with him, but had to stop halfway through when he kept interrupting you with “f’ing this, f’ing that”.

I agree with the sentiment of the quote. But my sense was a lot of Mike’s arguments against libertarianism can be boiled down to “who will build the roads?”

I don't think those were his arguments, I think they were more left wing ideology and fear of a Trump administration.

There were sections where he was arguing against there being widespread corruption in govt, and against “draining the swamp”. I think he also directly critiqued libertarianism at some point.
