Episode-2677- Individual Insurrection though Group Action – The Podcast Super Group is Coming

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (19.8MB)

Just a week ago I was inspired by the awesome Curtis Stone to reply to one of his videos and an idea formed. What if a group of podcasters dedicated to liberty in every meaningful way from permaculture, to education reform, to well, everything came together to tackle the big problems in a new way.

Rather then telling you what solutions we think you should use, we simply discuss them, in a way designed to teach people not only what can be done but how to discuss big ideas with total respect for everyone one in the conversation, focusing on the common goal over the individual methods.

What if this group really was a “super group” made up of proven successful voices. What if they all came together with a round table format and did two shows a week with different panel members in each show. What if they created a way for their audiences to all connect and shared reach, knowledge and resources freely. What if?

Some what ifs, never happen, some what ifs move slowly, some move really fast. This one is moving fast. My goal is to have the first episodes out in July, a system established that keeps them going independently of any individual member and community for all of our existing audiences to interact based on the common ideas of liberty, the principle of non aggression and the universal truth that agorism is a natural state for humans.

So far confirmed members who are in include…

Vin Armani
Peter Queninos
John Bush
Xavier Hawk
Curtis Stone

We think we have at least one producer selected, we have another potential member that is likely in and the rest of the group has been asked to suggest more folks to add to get our number to about 12.

This has all happened in about 5 days. Today I will discuss the concept further, including a possible name for our movement, unloosethegoose.com and a pretty cool slogan. “Individual Insurrection though Group Action – We do not seek to be alone, only to be left alone.” And a concept for the flag of the insurrection, note this is not the final design and this one belongs to someone else, you can actually buy it here.

Today is just a look inside my brain, a call for suggestions and an attempt keep this project open source from day one.

The basic concept
The importance of a leaderless organization and temporary leadership roles
Anything you do that is really big has to be bigger than you
Building a cross network community of problems solvers, doers and consensus builders
Solving the problem vs. pushing a solution you are married to
The concept of the “talking stick”
How anyone can do this in their own back yard
Why I feel all solutions are decentralized
Some of the big problems we want to address and my initial thoughts
- Physical communities and the road blocks to them
- Heath and nutrition and making words into a crime
- Why you can’t expect the education system to do anything differently ever
- Feeding the world, by teaching the world to feed itself
- Reversing the trend of domesticating humans and why feral does not mean what you think it means
- How to make John Bushes “freedom cells” work
- Why technology is our ally and some things we can do with it
- Creating a new generation of polymaths
- How Bill Mollison actually lined this out in the 14th chapter of the PDM all the way back in 1988

I sent you an email but thought this would be a good public place to post this as well
I love the idea of the podcast supergroup. I love the names you have in there as well. I actually listen to most of their work though Vin isn’t podcasting atm per se. I own both Vin and Pete’s books.

Some additional names that may be a huge addition:

Brett Veinotte – schooling
Ben Falk – you know why
Ben Hewitt – schooling, rewilding, permaculture
Richard Grove – autonomy program etc

Expert council members such as:
Geoff Lawton – amazing systems thinker and the ultimate permaculture guy
Doc Bones – medical side of things

Free state project people:
Roger Paxton – may be a decent host type. I know he likes to public podcasts. Anarchist, liberty movement, farmer, homeschooler

I hesitate to say it as I think he’s a wild card that may mess stuff up but, Jeff Berwick.

Another one to consider may be G Ed Griffin – lots of research on money and some health items.

Disenthrall on youtube – Patrick smith – anarchism, philosophy, peaceful parenting

Derrick Broze – another wild card type but good thinker, journalist, anarchist, permaculture enthusiast

Larken Rose – wild card. Anarchist thought leader.

Love the work and really looking forward to it.

I would second Brett Vienotte, he might be a great producer too, his own shows are well produced and often has multiple people speaking at once which can make it difficult for the listeners clarity.

I think Jason Stapleton would be a good addition. His whole show and business is helping regular salaried workers become entrepreneurs and build wealth and influence to live a more free life.

I would like to see Cody Wilson included. All of the interviews I have seen of him have been enlightening and his work with defense distributed certainly counts as real world action.

Oh and I think a couple females may bring in a good addition:

-Nicole Sauce – entrepreneur, farmer etc

-Sherry Voluntary – don’t know her last name. Voluntaryist, mother, unschooler, peaceful parenting

-what’s that girls name with the free state project. Shit I forget but Jack you probably know who I’m talking about

Nick in MNG

I think Chris Martenson could be a good candidate as he’s got a pretty broad base of knowledge in a number of areas. While I don’t remember him identifying specifically as an agorist or voluntarist or anarchist, much of his material leans towards the agorist and community-centric mindset. The fact he tends to distance himself from political affiliations and appears to be pretty objective & consistent when it comes to political topics is a plus too. His opinions on certain issues or solutions may not be exactly the same as yours (or mine for that matter), but more diversity of thought & ideas could make for a good group dynamic. Same goes for other potential candidates who may not necessarily be anarchists but still share some common values.
