Intra-Libertarian The razor of force and preference

The razor of force and preference goes like this:

If something is morally ambiguous, a libertarian should err on the side of (and place the burden of proof against)

  1. Advocating against it socially

  2. Advocating against stopping it with force legally

Does this seem compatible with libertarian philosophy?

Complete whim worship with the primacy of consciousness as the foundation.

Incompatible with a legal philosophy built on the primacy of existence.

According to Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi, yes

Maybe this is just one of my autistic "Taoist libertarian attempts a discussion with any other type of libertarian" moments
