This week, we explore a philosophy which seeks to combine the theory of libertarianism with the pragmatic mechanism of counter-economics. It is perhaps the only political ideology with a clear direction for achieving its goals nonviolently and without such wishful thinking as getting an entire society to agree to its principles beforehand.

This week, we discuss the fundamental difference between so-called hard and soft sciences. Why do people take chemistry more seriously than psychology? Why does anyone care what we call them in the first place?

Is it too late to go back, or are creative people forever doomed to become part of the content machine?
