How would you restrict the existence of unicorns?

Also refrain from personal attacks on this site - you don’t know my understanding of freedom and denigrating me doesn’t help your argument.

Edit: my implicit argument is that restricting unicorns while sounds nice on paper is that the net benefit of an implementation of that is net negative - not that absolute anarchy is the solution.

Because your sarcasm was constructive, maybe?

> my implicit argument is that

Next time, maybe consider making it explicit and without using sarcasm.

My explicit answer was that if you consider that regulations are fundamentally against freedom, then I disagree. To me, it's perfectly fine to regulate unicorns if we believe it is better for the society. You can disagree with the fact that it would be better for society, but that's not what you said. What you said is that regulating against unicorns would be against freedom.


> How would you restrict the existence of unicorns?

Enact and enforce anti trust laws.
