The Star Kingdom of Prudentias

I like to see the number of the issue to know about new problems, the first numbers were far to the 00's, generally dealing with invading countries, religion (Violetist) and LGBT things, the issue 1000 to now it have social media problems and complex economics, I decided a issue about Uber where I choose to spread public transport.

I perceive an interesting thing, the libertarian options became unpopular or less attractive with time, it's interesting how libertarianism became unpopular, I was myself an Ayn Rand fanboy and had an libertarian "Corporate Bordello" country when I was a teenager.

Probably the ex-libertarians drop libertarianism mostly by the same reasons as me:

1. They probably saw that the free market is not free at all, and you don't became a communist by admitting it.

2. They perceived the radical individualism results on social media, everybody making a competition for status that don't add anything to society or them, in fact it just made everybody more idiotic.

And studying philosophy it is easy how to debunk Ayn Rand.

Ayn Rand: My thinking is based on Aristotle, and I am an individualist that defends that being selfish is a moral act.

Aristotle: Man is a social animal and despite being an individual can't be happy without the polis and good politics is about trying to do the good for everybody and not for a single person, a group or the mobs at all.
