What makes us believe certain things and not believe others? Are we cynical because we're pessimistic about the future? What kind of psy-op is the Cornell Seven rape case?

The Trump administration has a new scam, this time for domestic steel production and they want you on board to pay for it. We start on an economy update but get sidetracked by surprising differences in Jeff's economic views and Brian's as well as a couple of things that we think mainstream Austrians get wrong.

Jeff went to Hans Herman Hoppe's Property and Freedom Society conference in Bodrum, Turkey and tells us about it. Brian gives an update on his unusual take on the relationship between property and value.

Brian watches and comments on Ryan Dawson's interesting 9/11 movie which shed some light on the questions asked in the previous episode (35), but also sparked disagreement. Brian comments on Stefan Molyneux's recent video, "Why I Do What I Do" and the differences in their worldviews.

Brian's recent blog post on what libertarians don't understand: https://anarcholife.com/2026/09/09/what-libertarians-dont-get/

Lots of strange things about 9/11 and good reasons why the 9/11 truth movement persists, but are the theories likely true? The men who executed the 9/11 attacks and virtually everyone you know share the mindset that made the attack so unjust. Normies will never understand, but libertarians should know better.

The Leskovar Insight is Jeff's own theory of human social psychology through Ludwig von Mises' praxeological approach to human action. If you don't understand this idea, you can't truly understand human behavior and the human social order.

We kicj the show off unintentionally talking about health, then move to the misconception that libertarianism is prescriptive instead of descriptive of the natural human ethic and finish it off with a discussion of voting and whether or not it's pointless.

Talking about the psychology behind mothers killing their children; why they do it and how it might be a subconscious survival instinct. Even after Covid, people still line up to take the next Big Pharma poison. Why?
