Silly? Really? If you really find the notion of freedom to be silly, I don't think you can be helped.
Why is it good? Because we have thousands of years of examples demonstrating just how bad totalitarianism can be. Freedom, as envisioned in this country's founding, has proven to be the only cure against the horrors brought on by central planners. That's why.
"All I see about me are unequal outcomes." That is life. Not everyone is equally suited to thrive in the world. Life's tough. Get a helmet.
"Clearly some people are "better" than others and so doesn't it follow from what we observe that they should have more rights. The Übermensch should be treated differently than the Untermensch." No, it doesn't follow. The moment you begin to allow government to treat any sub group differently, you open the door to tyranny, meddling and central planning, which as we know, never ends well. Government should treat everyone exactly the same and government should stay the hell out of everyone's business that isn't infringing on the rights of another. Pretty simple concept that actually works.
Yesterday he was against totalitarianism, and today he's for it.
