TRUE ANON TRUTH FEED

We’re joined by Professor Raymond Craib, author of Adventure Capitalism, to talk about libertarian exit, high adventure in the West Pacific, soldier of fortune Mitch WerBell III, and anarcho-capitalist Caribbean coups. 

In this spiritual followup to our previous episode on Charter Cities, we get a glimpse at Galt’s Gulch Chile. We investigate how a farming community built on Ayn Rand’s principles fell into a freaky web of lawsuits, arrests, freaks, pencil mustaches, and a shooting at a Chilean protest by an American YouTube economist in a yellow vest.

Show Brace is in on 8/29 in NYC 

We put on the balaclavas, chamber a round, and head to the cockpit to talk about the beautiful period in world history where hijacking airplanes was hot. A spiritual successor to our previous airplane episode.

We talk with our ol’ friend Jathan Sadowski about regimes of actuarial governance, AKA The Insurance Industry; how highly financialized insurance products have come to have such power over our lives and what new capacities technologies and networked devices are unlocking in the Insurance Industry’s quest to capture more and more value.

We settle a score with our greatest enemy yet: the airline industry. We aim the furious gun of knowledge at the airplane and demand that it reroutes to a place no airline has ever flown: The Truth.

Benjamin Fong joins us to talk about his new book Quick Fixes: Drugs in America from Prohibition to the 21st century Binge. We chat about the uniquely American obsession with drugs, the war machine’s love affair with meth, the burgeoning psychedelic movement, and why everyone is so desperate to get high.
