Our country has a decades-long history of candidates promising to reduce war and spending. And then, of course, when they get in office, they seem to do the opposite, no matter which political persuasion. The only good news is that when the public feels deceived, they Elect the opposite party. But of course within a year it is just more of the same.

Ron Paul has reminded us that there is no perfection either by liberty or by tyranny. He suggested the solution is to introduce more individual voluntary choice into our system.

This is a reboardcast of ep. 180

In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, Julie dives deep into the hidden psychological mechanisms behind secrecy and its impact on individuals, groups, and society at large. She explores how groups naturally create boundaries to protect their identity and cohesion—but at a high cost. When secrecy becomes normalized, it not only isolates members from the outside world but also distorts truth, weakens integrity, and impairs sound decision-making.

Julie connects these ideas to the broader political and social landscape, examining how excessive government document classification reflects an over-boundaried system that alienates citizens from vital information. By understanding the psychology of secrecy, we can better recognize how hidden agendas and restricted access to knowledge foster mistrust, manipulation, and corruption.

This episode challenges listeners to think critically about transparency, freedom, and accountability—both in personal relationships and within powerful institutions.

Ron Paul’s podcast explores the possible real reasons our government is focused on Venezuela drug trafficking. Maybe this is simply a purposeful distraction from other issues that are not working out so well right now. But maybe a large part of our population really does think it is a good idea to kill possible drug traffickers, in international waters, who may be trying to sell to willing adults in the United States.

The new and exciting Israel-Gaza deal proposed by Trump apparently has the same flaw as before. In other words, I have not heard an answer to the following questions concerning the long-term. Is there full equal citizenship? Or is there a separate state? Without an answer, we are doomed to witness perpetual abuse as before. The United States had a similar dilemma concerning slavery, and then concerning American Indians.

However, Megan Kelly points out how amazing Trump is no matter how much he exaggerates or boasts.

This is a rebroadcast of ep 168

In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, Julie reviews a report on racial bias published by the Association for Psychological Science. We take a deep dive into what modern research says about racism, bias, and systemic disparities—and how these ideas are often misunderstood in public discussions.

Julie explains the difference between racism, which involves hostility or intent, and bias, which can occur without conscious awareness or malice. We explore implicit bias (unconscious) versus explicit bias (conscious), and how these affect perception, behavior, and policy.

The conversation also challenges the effectiveness of diversity training programs aimed at changing individual attitudes. Instead, the evidence shows that targeting institutional disparities produces better outcomes—aligning with the Libertarian perspective that systems, not thought policing, should be the focus of reform.

Join us as we blend psychological science, critical thinking, and Libertarian philosophy to better understand one of today’s most controversial and emotionally charged topics.

This is a rebroadcast of ep 173

In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, we take a deeper look at the idea that America is flawed—but who really does it better? Inspired by the honest insights of Ron Paul, we explore the structural, political, and cultural flaws that continue to affect freedom and governance in the United States.

While critics and patriots alike can agree the U.S. has serious issues—corruption, bureaucracy, surveillance, and economic manipulation—this discussion also reminds us that perfection doesn’t exist anywhere. By examining the Index of Economic Freedom, we compare the U.S. to countries that rank higher in liberty, transparency, and limited government, searching for lessons and realistic solutions.

Join us for a thoughtful libertarian perspective that challenges mainstream narratives, encourages critical thinking, and asks the essential question: If America is broken, what’s the better model—and why?

👉 Listen, think, and question with Libertarians Talk Psychology—where logic and liberty meet.

This is a rebroadcast of ep 198

In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, we dive deeper into the theme of tribalism and its psychological impact on modern populism. Drawing from the insights of historian Victor Davis Hanson, we examine how tribalism has developed in America and what it reveals about our cultural and political divides. We connect Hanson’s perspective to research on implicit and explicit attitudes, exploring how hidden biases shape group identity and influence social behavior.

Julie highlights the role of the elites and media in framing populism, often portraying its supporters as outsiders or threats, while we discuss how psychology sheds light on the true motivations and struggles of the populist movement. The conversation raises key questions: Are implicit biases inevitable? Can we move beyond tribal divisions? And how does populism challenge the power structures of modern society?

This is a thought-provoking discussion for anyone interested in the crossroads of psychology, politics, and culture, offering both libertarian analysis and evidence from psychological science.

This is a rebroadcast of ep. 119

In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, we dive into the Netflix series Narcos and connect its gritty storytelling to America’s decades-long War on Drugs. While Narcos shows the DEA and U.S. forces hunting down Colombian drug lords, the real question is whether U.S. policy fueled the very chaos it claimed to fight. Was the United States truly protecting its citizens, or did political interests, corruption, and unintended consequences make the situation worse?

We explore how prohibition, black markets, and government intervention shaped the rise of cartels, and what psychology tells us about power, control, and human behavior in this so-called “war.” This conversation challenges mainstream narratives and asks listeners to think critically about history, politics, and the human cost of the War on Drugs.
