Whether it is a health related choice or not is immaterial. 30 minutes of cardio per day is generally regarded as a healthy choice. Yet for obvious reasons we are not taking a collective vote on making mild exercise compulsory for all individuals.

We use terms like hindsight bias and selection bias all the time here; is there a name for the perception that the 'other side' of a wide ideological divide is more prevalent? Because I've read the same complaints about the libertarian attitudes here.
There are plenty of folks on both sides of the fence (or it'd be boring).
However, I would expect that entrepreneurs would generally have a free market bias. I create online businesses because I have an affinity for tech, and because the Internet has largely been an unregulated space.
I definitely see quite a few folks from both sides of the libertarian/authoritarian spectrum. I originally wrote a much longer comment talking about how free markets need at least government regulation in order to function (so people have faith in them) while too much regulation leads to high barrier of entry, but I'm sure you get the gist.
If we can't have that discussion without acrimonious downvotes and complaints to the moderator, then what are we doing here? I am inclined to go back to my original point about bias.
