You appear to have feelings as substitutes for thought.As I said: "I don't take their carping after the fact lightly at all."
Lew Rockwell et al are 2nd, no, 3rd rate thinkers, doers and actors in my book.
About as useful as Mensa members ...
I hear "Paleo this" and "Paleo that" from you guys; I see this as an excuse to be ineffective, to remain ineffectual, allowing you to become mental m*sturbators ('Mensa members') and one step away from being Alex Jones believers (he, too, says he is a libertarian), constantly trying to re-work the political calculus of events done and over with and now in the past in order to plot some 'new' direction; but you are unable to move forward effectively.
Some circles call this Analysis Paralysis. We have a few guys like that at work - constant worry-warts that can't effective act/move/operate in real time; they have to dwell in the past.

“About as useful as Mensa members ... “
You might be right. I belonged to Mensa once, for a few months, and I think I know what you mean.
“I see this as an excuse to be ineffective”
Can be. Needn’t be. There are various approaches to effectiveness. Enjoy yours. For mine, see post #72.
