Hello, paradoxical because welfareism is about well-being, but I'm sure that you will agree with me that a lot of the times when governments introduce themselves into any kind of activity, they do it badly, and they turn good things into bad things.

Not only do they do it badly, but they make the situation worse than it was before in a lot of cases actually.

Yes, so I think that this is a criticism that was seen as a doctrineer

Lasefaire capitalist criticism in the height of the Cold War and people afterwards they have

opted for very different views especially in academia the libertarian

view is very much of a niche.

There are very few libertarians.

Sorry?

Yeah, there are very few because you know difficult truths are not always popular, right?

Yes, but there is also, there are also other aspects to it with respect to funding

and also the idea that the university is rapidly becoming an instrument for political propaganda, where students

are not supposed to be educated into being critical thinkers and people who are learning how to think but they are brainwashed with what to think.

And instead of critical thinkers they become the next generation of voters.

But let us be a bit more meticulous in this because I think that this is one of the

interesting factors when people are defending classical liberalism that many people

nowadays call libertarianism. A lot of the times you have to say things to people who argue against it that have to do with that are

big picture considerations and they are not very they are not immediately visible or intuitive to many people who are saying

well there's a problem here it can't be solved privately therefore the state needs to intervene. And a lot of the times

classical liberals and libertarians they are saying that the more you introduce the state into solving things, the economy in the society,

we are as Hayek wrote it on a slippery slope that leads to surf them.

We are on the road to serve them.

Well, I think in many ways, we already are at that point,
