| 10/20/25 | ![]() My in-depth interview with Voluntaryist content creator Carey Wedler | Click here for the video link on YouTubeEnjoy my interview with the awesome Carey Wedler!We focus on psychology, and especially how statism impacts our psychological well being as individuals. This is an under served aspect of the overall voluntaryist movement; Carey has deep experience in this area and her insights are well worth your attention.She also tells the heart breaking story of the enormously successful Anti-Media, an influential news group of which she was a key player. The group was banned from the major platforms at the height of its success. You’ll see for yourself how deep the State’s tentacles go.Carey Wedler is a content creator who focuses on breaking through authoritarian programming to promote peace, freedom, decentralization, and the evolution of consciousness. She previously worked as a journalist and editor-in-chief for the now-banned Anti-Media, an independent news organization. She takes special interest in the intersection of spirituality, self-ownership, and anarchism as a path forward for humanity.Carey’s SubstackHer main website provides links to her YouTube, X, Instagram, Odysee, Telegram, plus there’s her TikTok.Support her on Patreon and CashApp.Some links to topics we covered...Carey’s video “The World’s Most Dangerous Religion”Carey’s “Black Panthers” article on SubstackCarey blowtorches her Obama T-ShirtOther links:Carey mentions the books “The Anatomy of the State” by Murray Rothbard and “Hardwiring Happiness” by Rick Hanson PhDplus, Larken Rose’s eye-opening 2016 Anarchapulco speech “So Small a Thing”...My full, free 23-part Myth of Authority MasterclassSince some may be new to libertarian perspectives, here is a short list of links you may find helpful.

| 10/11/25 | ![]() My fun interview with Tyrone The Porcupine Hobo | Click here for the video link on YouTubeI had a great time conversing with Tyrone the Porcupine Hobo!He talked about his interesting handle, and his backstory as a second generation libertarian born on the day America died (yes, he explains this).He spent some time talking about how he tends to be short-term black pilled, but long-term white pilled. And I take a crack at chipping away at some of those black pills.Tyrone the Porcupine Hobo is the co-host, producer and editor of the Haman Nature show, which can be found on: YouTube, Substack, Rumble, and X.He studied philosophy as an undergraduate, is a former casino marketing executive, was on the editorial board for the Agorist Writers Workshop, a former member of the Libertarian Party of Minnesota executive committee, a published short story author, a freelance audio and video producer, and currently works in finance.He fosters rescue dogs, is a pinball and bowling enthusiast, and a diehard perennially disappointed Vikings football fan.You can reach him at tyrone@hamannature.comSome links to material we covered in this episode:The Remnant, from Isaiah’s Job, by Albert J.

| 10/1/25 | ![]() My interview with Prof. Michael Huemer | Click here for the video link on YouTubeI hope you enjoy my conversation with Professor Michael Huemer as much as I did.If you have not read his book “The Problem of Political Authority”, you’ve missed a baseball bat to the kneecap of the State. It’s basically a take-down of every known philosophical or intellectual justification for statism. If that isn’t enough, the second part of his book explains why a stateless society based on anarcho-capitalistic principles is feasible, and indeed, superior to statism.The general focus of the interview was the psychology of statism. But it led to so many related tangents that it can’t be summarized here. It was a fun ride with a leading advocate of freedom.Prof. Huemer’s bio:Michael Huemer received his BA from UC Berkeley and his PhD from Rutgers University. He is presently professor of philosophy at the University of Colorado at Boulder. He is the author of more than 90 academic articles in ethics, epistemology, political philosophy, and metaphysics, as well as about twelve brilliant and amazing books that you should immediately buy, including Knowledge, Reality, and Value (2021), Progressive Myths (2024), and Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism (2025).Prof. Huemer’s websiteHis Amazon author page“The Problem of Political Authority”“Progressive Myths”His Substack page “Fake Nous”Here are some links to other interesting topics we covered...Narrated story of the 20th Century Motor Company, excerpted from Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged”The Milgram ExperimentsStockholm SyndromeThe Asch Conformity Experiment...My full, free 23-part Myth of Authority MasterclassSince some may be new to libertarian perspectives, here is a short list of links you may find helpful.

| 8/15/25 | ![]() Tom Woods and Michael Malice on the Majority | Click here for the video link on YouTubeIn this episode I review a portion of a recent exchange between Tom Woods and Michael Malice.Tom discusses how difficult it is to reach the masses regarding the ideas of freedom.

Bob Murphy.The masking of the Vegas Strip’s Statue of Liberty during the height of the COVID hysteria. Hard to believe it actually happened.Like Adam, I’m not over COVID tyranny (the title of his recent Substack article).…which is a good opportunity to mention my own article on COVID, identifying it (yes, even back then) as history’s most extreme example of mass hysteria.Adam and Bob Murphy recently discussed the open borders position with Jacob Hornberger....and I asked him how strict libertarian property rights fits in. I intended to reference Patrick Smith's comments in this Anarchast clip.Also…“The Problem of Political Authority” by Michael Huemer (see below).“The Most Dangerous Superstition” by Larken Rose: (see below)."Jones Plantation", a feature film by Andrew Treglia and Larken Rose."Barnum World", a recent YouTube mockumentary by Andrew Treglia....My full, free 23-part Myth of Authority Masterclass Since some may be new to libertarian perspectives, here is a short list of links you may find helpful.
