Reply to comment by Purely_Theoretical in What Morality is Not (and why it's not the Repugnant Conclusion, Utilitarianism, or Libertarianism) by contractualist

Again, the paper just argues a Lockean proviso. Not the best deal future people would be getting.

The entire point of that paper is to give a libertarian justification for having concern for future generations. Namely it extends the lockean proviso to them. I summarized the paper in my first comment.

Therefore, libertarianism does not fail to account for future generations. This is your false claim and I have refuted it.

(Up to the lockean proviso, which I state in the post. This is too minimal to be substantive).
