    The problem with Rothbard is that there's not much there. From the article, he talks a lot about the old states, that had a very different structure than the new ones. A blatant example is that the new nobles (multigenerational rich families) are no longer generally located within the state. They're the power players in the free market.

    He doesn't discuss how to solve the problems that the state is currently solving, but rather seems to ignoring that they exist at all.

    I mean complaining about the police treating assults on the police more serious than an assult on an average citizen? Well duh, any law bringing organisation would do the same, both because it's their own private interest and the interest of them to provide proper law. And letting the rest of us not needing to buy bullets because the neighbours are picking a fight, like we used to (well crossbow bolts and things like that).

    For your Wright brothers anology, it's more complex than that, they had several more or less botched demonstrations for the press. Cameras were forbidden as well.
    They also didn't want much attention, at least in part for fear of design theft.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?
