The parent poster, a 99.99%ile brilliant engineer (seriously) and entrepreneur has a long history of posting libertarians talking points on any vaguely related topic.

I'm not sure what you're trying to assert?

I'm not aware of a ile scale of brilliance. I also don't know why a history or libertarianism is relevant?

I just think that the comment wasn't constructive.

> libertarians talking points

Frankly, I've haven't read much of any libertarian literature, nor touchstones like Ayn Rand. My opinions come simply from reading lots of history and economic books.

A seminal experience for me was touring East Berlin in 1969. The contrast with West Berlin was stark.
