   This person explained so well as to why in medieval times churches were built with such splendor instead of giving the poorest people the money that would have been divided between hundreds of people that would have otherwise went to the church.

   "It's in the darkest, poorest and most, desperate times when symbols of overwhelming hope are needed which is why church were built in such a grandiose way"

   Basically saying that to live another day one needs to live for beauty and something greater than yourself.

     I absolutely agree. And I see the colonization of other planets literally the same way. There is no greater beacon of humanity's hope then seeing us colonize the stars.

     And then.... There is always that one idiot who jumps in saying: But that isn't economically viable. That is not the point Neil.

     Welcome to literally my explanation of libertarianism.

     Me: I will not let myself be forced to do an immoral decision by anyone, including the fucking government. I need freedom to pursue the good life.

     And then, there is always that asshole, who responds with: Oh, you're a libertarian. So, you support trans people's right to transition.

     NO!!! My higher goals are to pursue a moral life, and castrating kids is literally the oposite of that goal. And if that wasn't enough, the assumption, that I have to support their cause only because they mis-appllied the word "freedom" to describe it is in fact again the act of pushing me to be immoral.

     But that's life. Most people think in words, but not in the abstract concepts these words describe, so they cannot possibly notice such a slide of hand.

     This reminds me of the midwits, who hate me for not engaging with them about scientific studies.

     You threw a name of a peper on me. So what?
     It is 20 pages long, and let's assume, that it actually does contain the data sheet too. It would take me 2 days of active reading to get through the reading in a propper way. And another 1 day to go through the data. To do anything less would be blasphemous, considering, that it's science we're talking about.

     But that is not what they did, or what they expect me to do. They read the abstract, and they expect me to retort with another abstract from a different article. But that is some playground shit. That is the good old "my father has a bigger paper stack, and he could beat you" kind of argumentation.

     But they always get angry at me, when I say, that I do not accept their citation as an argument.
