I happen to believe it could be minimized by people simply being willing to seek knowledge. Apathy will no doubt breed stupidity. Capitalism could be stronger if people weren't mindless, lazy fucks.
This doesn't even factor in critical economic analyses. The problem with so many Misesians and derivative Misesians is that they have a tendency to make broad, sweeping statements about matters without careful empirical analyses, which is related to the Austrian preference for "indisputable axioms" and hatred of empirical evidence. For instance, let's consider your statement that "[my] age shines through" when I "[speak about] topics like drugs and sex." I've conducted empirical analyses of those matters. My conflict with conventional beliefs thus manufactures the claim that I must have come to my conclusions through faulty reasoning. Entirely untrue, of course, but a necessary component of an analysis that relies on preconceived ideological beliefs rather than empirical analysis. Such is the case with unbreakable support for a capitalist economy, the empirical evidence be damned.
