Well, again, the Thiel-as-vampire metaphor would argue that it's not in the best interests of the libertarians to grow a herd of people completely unable to take care of themselves. If the cattle is too dependent, then they'd be forced to admit that they need universal healthcare in order to maintain the herd. (Of course, as we see with industrial farms, that can go horribly wrong ... but the Thiels don't care anymore about their herd than the industrial ranchers care about theirs. So, the analogy still holds.) It benefits the vampires to cultivate a herd with the patina of "self governance". That way they can tell the unfortunate members of the herd that their suffering is their own fault. Work harder. Be a better cow.
