"Most of our problems today are technical, not political."

That isn't even remotely true in the first place.

It takes an awful lot for me to consider libertardian views to be more rational than someone else's.

For example:

"Those driven by intrinsic motivation (i.e. people that do things because it is their passion, not because they get paid for it) tend to do a much better job."

This is just flat out wrong.

Can you give an example? I'm not disagreeing, I just wanna hear what bothers you most about it.

Yeah, that doesn't make much sense. What if that establishment is the only one who offers that product? They'll have to buy them.

What I don't understand is where they fall on political spectrum. They want social freedom, but it seems like they also want economical freedom. Yet, they also support capitalism and private property? At first, it sounds like anarchy, but then they want the benefits of government.

Not exactly. But it only applies to creative work, for low-wage manual labor intrinsic motivation doesn't work that well. I've done a few tests on that myself and gotten pretty similar results.

It's still embarrassing that TVP advocates quote Dan Pink's book for a theory that's been around for years in the business community, so it's probably been around for a decade or longer in scientific circles.

They have the weird believe that markets are "efficient" when it comes to serving all needs, which is absolute nonsense.
I charge high prices because I don't give a fuck about poor people unable to afford them, but you can't base a society on that...there've been so many studies on the inability of free market insurance to provide affordable health care for poor people, (esp. sick kids of poor parents) that it's not funny anymore.

The weird thing is that they as "capitalists" don't seem to have any business knowhow whatsoever, or they would know that hijacking unregulated markets through business syndicates and domination of distribution networks is probably the highest profitable strategy of the world. I'd like it myself, if I wasn't so sensitive about people starving because of my actions.
