"Ideal Worlds" or "The Tao of Faré"

[gusl]

Hanging with Faré after the London Libertarian Conference in October 2002, I was intrigued by how his anarcho-capitalist philosophy would apply to today's world, so I asked him, in a serious tone: "what would you do if you were the absolute ruler of the world?"
He answered, in an equally serious tone: "I would have lots of sex with beautiful women."

I think there's a lesson to be learned here:
My interpretation is:
Faré is thinking a meta-level higher than most libertarians:
while most libertarians believe we should strive for a state with libertarian policies, Faré believes that the government can never be trusted, that hoping for a libertarian state is like hoping for a prosperous communism: it can't happen in the real world.

Agreed -- the man's certainly got his priorities straight.
