Well, as you're talking about libertines, not libertarians, perhaps such a point, whatever its merits on its own, really isn't germane to the thread . . .
It is germane if, as we look at how the puritans prospered, we are to draw conclusions about modern (Rand and the Vienna) libertarianism which tends to ignore cultural values.
What works in a society of strong social and cultural taboos and highly cohesive culture is nearly guaranteed not to work in our neo-pagan society.
