“engineering economic security.”

That’s not a Libertarian idea. It’s a collectivist idea. And I’m not a Libertarian.

Central planning always fails. These folks have never studied Economics or history. They may know a little tech, but they know a lot of arrogance. And arrogance usually comes from ignorance.

Another fallacy these techies believe is that there tech eliminates jobs. So they feel guilty about that.

That idea has been around since even before the industrial revolution. And it’s false.

Hayek and Friedman provide rebuttals to this idea.

Yes you are right.

these collectivists think we are stupid.

collectivism = central planning = socialism : never works.
