A "conservative" strategy updates that information more slowly, while a "progressive" strategy updates faster. The tradeoff is that if one updates too slowly, one loses the possibility to improve more quickly and perhaps to adapt more quickly to changing circumstance. If one updates too quickly, one can actually "forget" hard-learned lessons, leading to poor outcomes.
Looked at that way, a conservative is someone who is more wary of change, for fear of losing important societal knowledge.

Discussion here are always interesting in that interesting forms of libertarianism come through, some discussions even what would be moderate positions on things like homelessness get attacked, etc.
The question and responses are certainly interesting.
An example where a discussion can be neutral but go very left or right - off grid living, homesteading, etc - off gridder or prepper? Same topic in many discussions, but different flavor of discussion.
So, insofar as there's any interesting discussion to be had at all it would just be a mirror version of the left's own infighting on these topics.

I assume you mention this because you'd think it interesting to see less libertarianism leak through in the discussion. I'll admit, yeah, that does sound like an idea I haven't really explored too much.
