There have been a lot of good decisions by the courts lately that are positive for liberty. One is particular is a ruling on the home production of distilled alcohol and prohibition of it being unconstitutional. This soaked a thought in me to talk about agorism today, what it is, why it works and what a true agonist opportunity looks like. Agorism is most simply put the idea of building a free society by trading and working directly with others, without government rules. It means people should rely on each other instead of the government for services and goods. Join … Continue reading →

Today we discuss theories and quotes from ten great thinkers.  As we do we will see a lot of things we think are new, are not.  We will also lean that many things we spend time and energy on are simply a waste of both.  There are things we can do with impact but society has laid many traps to direct our efforts into meaningless distractions. We will be talking about such visionaries and thinkers today as Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Buckminster Fuller, Michael Crichton, Jerry Pournelle, Sun Tzu and more.

My discussion with John Willis yesterday got me thinking as any talk with John always does for me.  I love what he is doing with Homestead Apprentice but I want to talk more about the reason why things are needed like this today.  Today I will tell you a part of your history as a modern species.  Yes modern, and this history is not good. See humans have bred and domesticated animals for a very long time.  In modern times humans have been domesticated though a very simple process of conditioning.  If you think about it most “domesticated animals” are … Continue reading →

Americans in particular are very fond of the word freedom.  It always has amazed me how people so attracted to the word freedom can get so upset when someone chooses to use said freedom differently then they do.  Over half of the people don’t vote, we all know this but tell someone who does vote you are going to around an election and watch them lose their minds about it. America’s main population has no idea what freedom means any longer.  They think it basically means, go to school and conform.  Go to college and conform.  Get a job and … Continue reading →

Yep this show is about active anarchy, didn’t put that in the title so it would not immediately shut down people that do not know what real anarchy is.  Anarchy is not spoiled young adult children living in the parents basements, listening thrash music and playing games while wearing a black shirt with an A on it. Anarchy is not burning down buildings, demonstrating in the streets or being a non conformist by getting the same tattoo 5,000 other people have.  It isn’t hating everyone who is a cop or works for “the system” while you yourself take advantage of … Continue reading →

How Would you Design a Society From Scratch – Epi-3302

This show is designed only to make you think and think deeply about many issues.  In my view our society doesn’t do enough thinking, many people have claim to think and say stuff like I think _____ should be or not be done.  This is not thinking though, this is stating an opinion, often one that the person hasn’t really thought very much about. Thinking about an issue or a problem and how to solve it requires a total consideration of all sides, views and a review of all facts and theories about the concept.  We don’t do this very … Continue reading →

Yesterday chatting with Mark Baker about Homesteading I was reminded of an episode I did back originally in July of 2013 called, The Bright Future of Homesteading in America which is now a bit over 9 years old.  It was interesting to listen to what Mark had to say about homesteading and contrast that with some of the bullet points in the old show notes. Today I decided to simply take those bullets and present them in the context of 2022 and all that has happened in the past 9 years and especially the past 3.  The world has changed … Continue reading →

This episode will likely go in a direction you will not expect based on either the title or the graphic I chose for a thumbnail. Today we are going to look at the current, (yes current) and ongoing collapse a different way. From the lens of the death of “trust” and the role we can play in building new institutions, communities, systems, etc that are worth of the trust that is largely dead in society today.
