Insidious indeed. The problem with that philosophy is that it doesn't on its face leave much room for compassion. Which is ironic, if you're going to give it a name like "mutualism." Maybe that concern's addressed in the specifics. But on its face, seems like a wholly unappetizing philosophy.

Alright, I'm gonna see how far through this text I can get without wanting to kill myself. See you on the other side.

EDIT: Actually, from the intro it least it seems like the bigger problem is that this philosophy is totally unworkable outside of the theoretical vacuum.

Oh jesus, I didn't mean for you to actually read that. It's 1300 pages long and begins with over 200 pages of introductory Austrian economics. I'm unfortunately not well-versed enough to give you actual places to start.
