libertarians tend to be intelligent young men or stupid old men. the young men are drawn by the internal consistency of this rationalist-deductivist system, but the intelligent guys eventually come to the realization that what works on paper isn't necessarily reflected in practice. the dumb guys double-down on it by making it their religion of sorts. they end up shaking their fists at the sky and raging that the world doesn't conform to their list of "coulda, shoulda, woulda."
