This is why we need strong ancap/rational voices, to show people the way. And if they don't like it, we physically remove them (on an individual level, like spam, property rights and all) so they don't poison our culture. All the while remaining open to free trade, helping them in what ways they will allow us to. This reminds me of the note I just made, sort of similar dynamic but without the state and fallacy worship being touched upon:
See, they can get real lasting comfort if the society is not constantly lying to them.
The people who want slavery, most of them are not fully philosophically literate, fully aware that that is what they are doing. To the extent that they are aware, they are evil, choosing to deny reality and hurting themselves in the process, which is a real shame. But they are often just misled by deception that they were I'll equipped to handle. It is unfortunate most people are so corruptible and gullible, but a sort of peaceful and mutually beneficial solution is afforded in a society where the meek (principled, rational anarchists) have the strength and courage to speak sense, and be like guides to the normies. And the meek always win in the long run.

Something about sensitive people, they tend to spot opportunities that others miss. There's another word for that: entrepreneur, or investor (good investor at least).
In a free market, entrepreneurs and investors worth their bitcoin spot opportunities and exploit them, bringing in efficiency gains, long term resource abundance, and valued things that people like, while employees buy time and energy and things from the entrepreneurs, who in turn also benefit from the labor and monetary signals. In this free market, everyone is to varying extents a member of both classes. Entrepreneurs are also consumers and also borrow resources off of their collateral too, and contract with other entrepreneurs, as we know. I can see myself being an entrepreneur and investor foremost, but also doing contract work and employee work in a small capacity. This mix is what my life is rapidly becoming, thankfully.
As a sensitive person trained at and enamored with picking up on details, optimizing things, and understanding stuff on a deeper level, I notice things like this. It is the part I play in ushering in the cypherpunk-led anarchy of tomorrow, and honing these skills today while I provide value in small ways to the people in my family and the market around me.

I feel like I just Aristotled or SEK3'd this shit:
Lysander Spooner identified:
Knaves (I like to call these Goblins); Dupes (often called Useful Idiots); Do-nothings (Cowards)
I posit the mirror of these specimens which sustain freedom, the virtuous version:
Clear & Obvious Tyrants (Robbers); Employees (Non-Statist Normies); Entrepreneurs (ancap memelords, rational plebs, good business owners, everyday people who have integrity and also spot efficiencies and opportunities for growth really well and pursue them)

I have thought this too, that what we call "high-IQ" is really just a sensitive nervous system. That's why reaction-speed tests are just as predictive in psychology for general intelligence as any other test they can devise.
Athletes which score the best on these would likely be good at nearly everything they try, but get too swamped with social obligations and awards and honors so entrepreneurship takes a backseat, they don't need hidden opportunities.
