Are Libertarians More Rational Than Others? No, Just More Aware of the *Limits* to Reason

Both liberals and conservatives have an overblown opinion of their ability to rationally manage humanity in the spheres they choose to exercise power. The brutal fact is that human beings are far to complex and sophisticated to be ruled in detail by other human beings without immense waste, cruelty  and degradation. But both sides can only see the other side's sin.

We libertarians tend to see the whole sordid Hyronemous Bosch  Tableau of self serving manipulation. And it horrifies us.
