If do NO harm is NOT a principle that everyone intuitively knows, what then are these 'principles', exactly, which, supposedly, "everyone intuitively knows"? *a man belongs to himself (you are your own, right?) *his life, liberty, property are his (your life, liberty, property are yours, right?) *h...

Libertarian Whatever would be much better than what we have now, but in most cases it would result in recreating the wheel . We need most of the essential parts of the current system, it's the glue that holds them together that is made of purest bullshit - layer upon layer of assumption, compromise...

*A bootstrapping process is required. Start with IQ. That's the baseline capacity to understand, much less manipulate, information better than other people, particularly with regard to complexity and scale.
