Thanks. I can appreciate the concern for misinterpretation by people in power. However, if the author is going to write two and a half thousand words on something, they should at least cite a few examples in the wild of what they are arguing against.

Oftentimes comically like thinking E.O. Wilson is secret nazi for saying humans are Eusocial etc

The strange part is the more we learn about our nature the less the axioms of right-libertarianism make sense. [And also of strict Marxism but I think we already knew there is a bit of woo to that.]
