Anarcho capitalism describes a stateless society that is based on voluntary interaction, strong property rights, and obviously no government. This likely sounds very far fetched or naive if you aren't familiar with the philosophy but I think you will be surprised at how much sense it makes. I start with an overview of the ideology and philosophy then progress to topics such as spontaneous order, c...

Is it even possible for a government to exist with voluntary participation? One that is efficient, effective, and moral? I am proposing that not only is it possible but it would theoretically be much better than any current system in today's world. I lay out what this government would look like, how it would work, what the incentive models would be, and some ways it could actually be worked toward...

Are modern governments an efficient and effective way to manage a society? Are they even incentivised to manage society well, for the benefit of all, and with a long term vision? These are the topics addressed in this episode. I have shown previously that government is immoral at a structural level but many would argue that it's still a good way to organize and manage a society regardless of moral...

In this update episode, I'll cover the outline for this series on assessing government as a system first. Next is an update on Epstein. Since this case was mentioned in the previous update episode and much has happened since, I'll share the updates and my thoughts on the matter. Last is extra content that wasn't included in episode 34. Moral Arguments Against Government. Since that episode focused...

In order to really look into political structures, we need to asses government as a system. There are certain things that exist in all modern governments that we can look at to help assess "government" on a macro level. These include taxation, rights to freedom or slavery, property rights, fiat money, and war/ defense. This episode will focus on a moral assessment of these things and see if taxati...

For the final episode in this series on agorism, I highlight some agorist communities. These groups of people have focused on taking care of themselves without reliance or involvement with the State. The first example is historical with the Taborites, an early reformist group from the 1400s. This leads into other groups that spawned out of the reformation, mainly the anabaptists, including the Men...

There are many individuals who choose to live out agorist principles in their lives. Some make large impacts in a specific way and some try to implement agorism into their personal lives in every aspect. I'll highlight Lily Forrester and John Galton, Cody Wilson, The Free State Project, and Amir Taaki. Sometimes things work out but often, bucking the State has consequences. The last section of the...

This episode is the traditional update episode with a few extra topics. Permaculture and food forests are mentioned as concepts that could have been in a previous agorism episode but weren't included. There have also been some names and corruption in the news lately that mirrors previous episodes so I mention those as well. Epstein, the military industrial complex's revolving door, and Christine L...

For the third installment of this series on agorism, I'll cover some more intangible aspects of agorist philosophy. After all, although agorism is action it is also a mindset and promotes learning and activism which are things we can't put our hands on but are invaluable to our success as individuals, families, and communities. This episode covers agorist philosophy from a meta perspective, tech p...

This is part two of the current series on agorism. The focus in this episode is on ways to keep your independence and self sufficiency in areas other than the basic needs of survival. We all have a certain standard of living we want to maintain. We all have things we want and goals we are working for. The question is- How could these aspects be paired with agorist philosophy and action? Topics inc...

This is the first episode in the current series on agorism. Agorism promotes voluntary interaction and transactions, counter economics, local and self reliance, and peaceful societal change. The idea is to live in a way that doesn't involve "the system". Now that we've covered the corruption in governments in the most recent previous episodes, I want to add in information on practical and actionab...

In addition to a brief update on what's coming up in the next few episodes, here is a dump of extra information that didn't fit into the previous series on corruption and conspiracy. I touch a little on the CIA in the Golden Crescent, the effect of IMF policy in Yemen, and more info on the Bohemian Grove. WARNING- THE CONTENT AT THE END IS GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING. There is plenty of warning so feel...

To wrap up the series on corruption and conspiracy, there's no better topic and theme than the New World Order. You've probably heard the term from world leaders over the past few decades along with a push for globalization, unity, and international regulations. I'll explore what the concept is, what the goals are, and what tools and methods are used or will be used to accomplish these. It sounds...

Eugenics- the science of improving a human population by controlled breeding to increase the occurrence of desirable heritable characteristics. This episode goes over how the idea of eugenics has evolved over history, how it has been implemented, and by whom. We go from Plato to Thomas Malthus to Charles Darwin to Francis Galton to Margaret Sanger to Rockeffeller, the IMF, and what the future hold...

 It's time for a look into the corruption of our education system. This episode highlights corruption and conspiracy as it pertains to groups using the education system to control, influence, and steer society. We'll start with Plato and Aristotle's views on an education system then get into the Prussian education system and Prussian philosophy, then cover the Reese Committee Investigation that fo...

It's time for another general update, review, and preview as well as a side talk. The side talk in this episode is on philosophy. I have recently been studying Plato, Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, Solomon, and other philosophers and I have run across a few references in recent podcasts I've listened to as well as some listener comments. Since it will be a while before Season 1 is done and we get int...

It is said that if you follow the money, you can find the source of control. We need to not only follow the money but also delve into how it is created, collected, distributed, and regulated so we can understand the why and how behind the who and what. Specific topics in this episode include Central Banking, the Federal Reserve, Bank for International Settlements, Bretton Woods, the IMF, the World...

Corruption and conspiracy in government. This is a big episode- in scope, length, and substance. The main groups discussed are the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, CIA, and NSA with further coverage of false flag operations and other documented conspiracies and events of corruption. It  will be difficult to still have faith in your government after this one. What's great about...

This is a Case Study on The Society of the Elect, started by Cecil Rhodes and funded (along with the Rhodes scholarship) through his last will and testament. We must cover a few characters as well- the Rothschilds, Edward Mandell House, Cecil Rhodes, and Carroll Quigley. Most of the information comes from Carroll Quigley's book Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time and many excerpts...

This is the short update and commentary I do every fourth episode. In addition to podcast updates and a preview of the next few topics, I go over some quandaries I've been having regarding soldiers and cops. I respect and appreciate the intentions and sacrifices of most individuals of these professions but at the same time, I strongly object to the actions and policies they willingly enforce and I...

This episode reviews many highly influential books through the centuries to look at how many of the ideologies we are discussing in the surrounding episodes were popularized and how they were presented in their modern form. Subjects include philosophy, political theory, psychology,sociology, and more from authors such as Machiavelli, Thomas Hobbs, Carl Marx, Charles Darwin, Friedrich Nietzsche, Si...

Schooling methods and curriculum have had an impact on society. We've looked at how the education system fails to educate in some key ways and educates to the harm of individuals in others. Now we look at what effect this has had on society and us as citizens... no trivium, mono-layer thinking, need for entertainment, lack of logic, an overview of fallacies, and more. We'll then dive into a few ke...

We live in a debt based society from our personal lives to the governments of the world to the corporations we buy from. We finance more than we have, borrow enough to strap us in debt for decades, and don't even question the mechanics of how this works and what it's doing to society. It's time to look at the State of the Union from an economic standpoint. As usual, the examples are from the U.S....

Abortion, gun control, war, racism, and more. We all know that the state of political discourse today is a mess. Why is it so crazy? Why can't we have rational conversations about these topics? Let's cover these questions and also take a look at how to approach some of the hottest topics in today's culture from a relatively objective standpoint and in a way that we may actually be able to understa...
