Hey thanks for this. I think your case for GD is really compelling and people need to bear it in mind.
I wouldn’t say that we should discount anti-paternalism. My point is really to figure out what follows from anti-paternalism, conceived as an intrinsically desirable goal.
For the reasons you give and for some of those discussed with Ben Hoffman, there might well be instrumental reasons to have a perhaps weak presumption against more paternalistic interventions. This is a difficult question, and one I don’t have a particularly firm view on.
