Back with a brand new episode of Been Awake with L.B.

Today we're going to be covering 3 major headlines in the American news cycle

1 - Baby formula shortages plaguing the nation!

2 - Mass Shootings, this time they're racist!

3 - How to NOT defend the straw man

I know what you're thinking, number 3 isn't a major headline. This is true, but you won't want to miss the exploration of how to properly understand your own opinion and see how easily it can be influenced by media and those with Authority. It's the kind of better sensemaking you can't get anywhere else.

This week on the show we will be covering the last few sections of my essay "The post-libertarian moment defined.” Personally this will mark a change in the focus of my content. I'm happy to still go on other shows and talk about the essay, but what I have realized since I wrote the essay is that I need to be looking and talking to people about what is next. While the essay was directed towards libertarians and deals with whether the LP is a viable vehicle for political change, there are larger principles we can draw from and apply to a broader population. To those who have come aboard over the last few months thanks for giving a small newsletter like mine a chance, let's spread this message of better sensemaking across the country!

Hey, welcome to the show

*programming note*

You’ll notice there isn’t a snappy intro to this video like prior interviews. I really enjoy making them, but I can’t fit it into my production time anymore. There are too many things I want to cover! So from now on I’ll open interviews solo and bring the guest in (like every other podcast you listen to).

I haven’t released a solo episode, but I’ve recently sat down with a few other podcasters you should definitely check them out.

Currently available are my recent appearances on Blackbird with James Jenneman, On The Run with Remso Martinez, and Counterflow with Buck Johnson. Soon to be released is an interview with Carlos Abelar’s show Los Libertinos back to today’s conversation.

I recently sat down with Josiah who goes by @sodokupolitburo on Twitter. One of the reasons I started a podcast was to explore ideas, how people think fascinates me, especially when someone comes at it from an unorthodox place.

I don’t think I do a disservice Josiah when I say he has incredible instincts for how systems come together, but how he gets there won’t be familiar to most people.

This is an interview you’ll want to listen to closely.

The beginning of the conversation is a download of Josiah’s perspective, you’ll hear me try to put the pieces together, acting as a “midwife of ideas” as Socrates was fond of saying. And we end as always somewhere interesting.

This is the philosophy part of the news, mindset, and philosophy I cover at BeenAwake.com

Today’s episode will be a twitter sandwich, we’ll start with some rapid fire tweets I sent out since the last episode and end with some more. In the middle will be a discussion from my essay “The Post-Libertarian Moment Defined” where I’ll discuss what it is and why it happened. Most importantly though, we’re going to be examining the recent exchange between Dr. Anthony Fauci and Senator Dr. Rand Paul during a Senate committee hearing. There’s an important unexplored angle to the exchange other podcasters aren’t covering.

Honestly the show could end up being completely different than that. I’ve started writing my descriptions before I do the episode. Just another reason to listen and see what we talk about!

Episode 69? Nice

Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed a the holidays in a manner of your choosing. For me it meant Christmas with family, and New Year’s with friends. Today on the show, we’re going to go over the articles that I’ve been publishing at BeenAwake.com. We’ll start by reading the post I wrote on New Years Eve, transition into reading 3 sections of my essay “The Post-Libertarian Moment Defined”, and wrap up with two pieces I’m rather fond of [with special guest Pete Quiñones!] - “Evolution beats Androgyny” and “Conservatives: Stop Protesting at Applebee’s”. If we have time we’ll go over some recent tweets.

I decided to host a Twitter Spaces for an AMA on the essay I have at postlibertarianmoment.com, I opened talking about a Twitter Spat between a so-called “libertarian” editor of Reason Magazine. While you might think it’s an empty twitter exchange, there were some interesting points to pull out.

Then I took questions, which turned into a protracted conversation about the Archotropism framework which I should have been more prepared for, but I think the exchange was interesting.

I conclude the hour talking about how the state of Michigan is charging the parents of a recent school shooter, and I ask - why not the school as well?

It’s been awhile since I’ve sat down to do a solo episode, and what better time than at the end of a holiday weekend dedicated towards giving thanks. FYI, if you’re reading or listening to this the day I release, I will be on the flagship Lions of Liberty Program with Marc Clair tomorrow 11/29 to talk about my latest essay which you can read at postlibertarianmoment.com. I will not be discussing that essay in this episode. We’ll start by touching some “old news” that I highlighted on beenawake.com and spend some time dissecting why I chose to trigger Agorists, and why I bothered to do so beyond mere twitter beef.
