    Yeah it's actually amazing that he walks past the obvious idiot libertarian argument into an even dumber and objectively falsifiable argument.

    "My daughter isn't morally entitled to my productivity" can be tested by not providing food and basic necessities to his daughter and seeing how the authorities and courts react. Spoilers: by locking him up.

      most libertarians are just modern sophists or psychopaths who still haven't act on their impulses

      I disagree that the courts enforcing it makes it moral obligation. In this case it's a moral obligation as parenthood implicitly carries with it responsibilities because you having created this person now have to care for them.
