Despite statement in the original post that this research explains the insufficient popularity of Libertarianism, IMHO this research
actually warns us *against* implementing systems like Libertarianism without fully understanding the effects or nature of human
irrationality and either taking steps to eliminate it or mitigate it. However, this might explain some aspects of communism quite
well.
As always, society experimenters should try their own systems at their own risk, with an opt-out option. They should also avoid
claiming that they have an ideal system until they can at least get it to work first.
