    • NVC, the Trivium, and Mind Control with Walter Hendricks

      I was recently invited to call into the show Solvinur Event on UCY.TV. The host of the show, Walter Hendricks, was skeptical that Non-violent Communication (NVC) was a form of mind conotrol known as Neuro-linguistic programming. I provided an introduction to NVC, talked about its relationship to the trivium, and answered a number of NVC-related questions.

      There were four different people on the show, each going in varying directions, so it was difficult to address each concern raised as thoroughly and succinctly as I would have liked. Having said that, I still found value in the conversation.

    • Donald Trump, Fascism, and Racism with Jeffrey Tucker

      Jeffrey Tucker joins me for a discussion about Donald Trump.  Is Trump a fascist?  Why is "The Donald" so popular?  Is racism rampant in America?  Does Hillary Clinton stand a chance against Trump?  What does Jeffrey think of Stefan Molyneux’s support for Trump?  Why is a corrupt politician a good thing?  Is a demoralized Obama the perfect president?  What does Rand Paul have against Libertarians?

      We cover all of this and more in this interesting and entertaining discussion!

    • Complete Liberty Inside Out with Wes Bertrand

      Wes Bertrand is back to discuss his wonderful new book Complete Liberty Inside Out: Honoring Yourself and Others for Optimal Enrichment.  We take a hard look at not only the philosophy of liberty, which has been thoroughly covered by those who have come before us, but also the psychology of liberty, which has been not so much.  How does culture damage our minds, lessening our lives?  Religion, school, and the family are systems of domination, not unlike the state?  Sacrifice isn't a virtue?  What are the four stages of liberty?  Can this book build a bridge between the liberty community and the Non-Violent Communication community, two groups which each have half of it right?  We cover all this and more during this enlightening and entertaining discussion!

    • The AI Peril with James Barrat - Artificial Intelligence Series Part 5

      For the fifth installment of the Artificial Intelligence Series, Darrell Becker and I interview James Barrat.  James is a film maker, public speaker, and an author.   His book, Our Final Invention, masterfully presents the case for why you should be worried about the singularity. 

       

      How is AI different from other multi-use technologies?  What are the basic drives that an AI will have?  Can't we just program ethics into AIs and alleviate our worries?  How does James feel about AI depictions in popular media?  We cover all of these questions and more in this delightful conversation!

    • Alternative Education - Reboot Your Kids recast 004

      While the Reboot Your Kids website lives on, it no longer hosts the podcasts I recorded with Kevin Geary last year.  For posterity's sake, I'm putting those shows into the Choice Conversations feed.

      In this episode, Kevin and I tackle the gargantuan topic of alternative education and the problems with modern schooling. The conversation explores: The proposed purpose of schooling.  The underlying purpose of schooling. Where did “the system” come from? Are public and private schools the same thing? The toxicity of an environment filled with broken people, be they teachers or students.  All of this and more!

    • Liberland, The Real Land of the Free with Vít Jedlička

      I had the privelege to talk with Vít Jedlička, President of the new libertarian nation The Free Republic of Liberland.  President Vít goes into detail about how things typically handled by governments will work in a country where state power is limited and taxes are voluntary. Who will build the roads?  How will the justice system work?  Can a crypto-currency be a nation's legal tender?  How do I become a citizen?

       

      We talk about the Liberland constitution, covering topics like how citizens are granted the right to veto any new bills.  Public works will be paid for through croudfunding, and shares for public works will be traded on the Liberland Stock Market.

       

      We discuss all this and more in this fascinating look at the birth of the Libertarian homeland.
