This is a great opportunity to learn to some of the legal aspects and nuances of libertarianism from one of world's leading experts!

Bonus: Urban Gardening Tips May 30, 2019

Growing your own food is one of the easiest, safest and most enjoyable ways to practice counter-economics. Every produce item grown in your garden denies the state a litany of taxes, including but not limited to sales, gas, & export. Not to mention it saves you and your loved ones from state mandated pesticides and chemical additives. Unfortuantely, available planting space has become increasingly rare, particularly for young folks. So, with that in mind, Alex Utopium joins us to share some of his favorite urban gardening tips!

Vin Armani May 20, 2019

Dr. Craig Wright Apr 09, 2019

Dr. Craig Wright is the chief scientist at nChain and is believed by many to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the original inventor of bitcoin. That means he is either a computer science genius or a marketing genius. In either case, I thought it would be wise to acquaint ourselves with him and his ideas. We spoke about Bitcoin Satoshi Vision, nChain - and although he isn't an anarchist, we may have even found a bit of common ground regarding central banking.

Gabriel Cardona Mar 25, 2019

Gabriel Cardona is head of R&D at bitcoin.com & one of the most skilled developers in the blockchain community. He stopped by the Agora recently to discuss technological decentralization and we hit all the stops. 3D-printing, AI, tokenization, smart contracts, DAOs, biomimicry & more.

You'll be as pleasantly surprised as I was to hear his encouraging repsonse.

John McAfee Feb 24, 2019

Smoking L's, talking crypto, and dippin on the IRS with John McAfee. This is the fun part of the liberty movement.

Praxeology with Walter Block Feb 14, 2019

To help shed some light on the topic, I asked the world's leading praxeologist, Walter Block, to help us sort thru the minutiae.

The North Cali Trim Scene Feb 09, 2019

Aquaponics Jan 15, 2019

Extreme Activism Dec 22, 2018

Although many libertarians consider James Baker a hero, he prefers to think of himself as an auditor of government services - exposing their shortcomings and failures. In this way, he's able to provide some semblance of accountability in otherwise monopolized sectors of the economy. In this episode, part 1/2 of our discussion, James and I discuss some of the more memorable moments of his activist career as well as his philosophy which underpins it all.

The 2018 Meme War with Pete Raymond Dec 17, 2018

How does it compare with the laws that our enemy, the state, subjects us to? Will Coley, Imam & former libertarian-VP candidate, joins us to shed light on the issue.

Feed the Need 2018 Nov 30, 2018

Franklin Roosevelt: 1942's Camp Counselor of the Year Nov 22, 2018

Franklin D. Roosevelt was an economically illiterate, racist, warmonger. An only child and a mama's boy, FDR was born with a silver spoon in hand and quickly learned to utilize his only asset in life; his last name. His legacy is one of political centralization, warfare and fraud. This is the story of America's 32nd president you won't hear in public indoctrination camps.

On the Road to Agorism w/ Jim Davidson Nov 15, 2018

It's hard to find a better example of an agorist than Jim. He once racked up 600,000 counts of felony gambling charges. Another time, he spent ten minutes with Barack Obama, preaching the anti-war message. Still not convinced? Jim almost took down the entire US Space Program using counter-economics. In this episode, Jim gives us the details on all of this and more!

Alexander Hamilton: The Germ of Statism Nov 12, 2018

All of the nonsense emanating from the general government can be traced back to Alexander Hamilton. The federal reserve, high taxes, and our $20 trillion debt, are all echoes of his ideas. Moreover, our omnipotent executive, weakened state sovereignty and bloated judiciary are all the result of actions he took, or advocated for. In this episode of The Agora we take a biographical approach to find out how and why he became the poster child for statism.

An avowed white supremacist, known for lying and lethargy, who exhibited traits of psychopathy at a young age, Lincoln would grow up to be America's first, but not last dictator.

The Legacy of Karl Hess Oct 18, 2018

In this episode of The Agora, J. Kent Hastings joins me to discuss the legacy of the great Karl Hess. Karl started out as a speechwriter for the Barry Goldwater campaign and went on to become one of the pillars of Agorist philosophy, yet many libertarians still aren't familiar with his story, or his work. Hess is responsible for what Per Bylund has termed "horizontal" counter-economics & the diy culture of the liberty movement.

Pimps & Hoes Oct 15, 2018

A blowjob is better than no job - but don't tell that to the feminazis or the religious right. After all, they're the ones responsible for driving sex work underground in the first place. In this episode of The Agora, we use three books to examine pimping and prostitution.

Kratom Oct 12, 2018

What's the deal with Kratom? Is it a drug or medicine? Is it taken recreationally or medicinally? Is it natural or man made? Are there potential risks? And most importantly, why does the state and federal government not want us to take it? To answer all of these questions and more, we're joined by Luis Fernando Mises of www.emancipatedhuman.com!

Agorist Class Theory Oct 01, 2018

Class theory can seem like a dirty word to libertarians. In this episode, we examine four readings in order to derive an Agorist Class Theory. John C. Calhoun's Disquisition on Government provides the first brick in the foundation of the theory. In chapter 14 of Space Capitalism, Walter Block & Peter Nelson critique Calhoun's interpretation & offer a competing version. That view, is perhaps best summed up by Murray Rothbard in his article, The Case for Revisionism. Finally, a graduated synthesis is provided by Wally Conger's booklet, Agorist Class Theory.

Slamfires & GB-22s with Royal Nonesuch Sep 27, 2018

How to Think Analytically Sep 20, 2018

The ability to think logically sometimes feels like a lost art. This is unfortunate, because when an individual thinks critically, they're better prepared to engage in debate and rational discussion. More importantly, it makes us better advocates of liberty.
