It is kind of puzzling to have an idea torn down but not be told what the tearer would rather replace it
Future is uncertain and I am not wedded to ideological absolutes. I have a good idea of the direction I want to go, but not so much about the place where I would stop.
For example, I want a smaller, weaker government compared to what we currently have, but I don't know how small and weak until we try some experiments and see how they turn out (not that I'm holding my breath). Testing by reality is paramount and I see little use in imagining grand social structures -- that killed enough people already.
Fair doos, it's been nice talking to you. Considering how active you are I'm sure we'll run into each other again
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
