    After completely abandoning mainstream media and listening to podcasts like this I now question why I ever positioned my brain with the trash on TV and YouTube. America is a dying nation and this podcast actually hosts intelligent guests.

    JS has always been a consistant advocate for truth, even owning his very rare mistakes. I very sincerely hope he is developing his inevitable replacement.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 46 You Don’t Own Me: Freedom, Responsibility, and the Lies of Collectivism
Q: And what does that have to do with today's liberalism?
Sandefur contrasts liberalism with classical self-direction, arguing that modern liberalism often leans toward moral relativism and collective responsibility, whereas libertarianism emphasizes universal rights and individual judgment.
Ep. 46 You Don’t Own Me: Freedom, Responsibility, and the Lies of Collectivism
Q: Now, you are a lawyer who fights against some of these rules in court. Are you successful?
Yes, there has been notable progress; courts have struck down occupational licensing laws and other permit requirements that violate reasonableness and protect competition, which aligns with Sandefur's advocacy for reducing unnecessary barriers.
Ep 42. Andrew Yang: On UBI, Defunding Police, Cancel Culture, Entrepreneurship
Q: What motivates you to push for a third party like the Forward Party?
Yang explains the goal is to open up the political system, making it possible for independents, libertarians, and others to participate meaningfully beyond the two-party duopoly; this includes ranked-choice voting and nonpartisan primaries to reduce spoiler effects and increase genuine choice.
Ep. 41 Johan Norberg: Lessons From Ancient Athens, Rome, the Renaissance & Other Golden Ages
Q: What role did entitlement spending play in Rome's fall?
The expanding system of entitlements created a larger group dependent on public welfare, which made it difficult for Roman emperors to reform the system.
Ep. 41 Johan Norberg: Lessons From Ancient Athens, Rome, the Renaissance & Other Golden Ages
Q: What happened to ancient Athens as it fell?
The Athenians became hubristic, pushing others around and building an empire which eventually alienated other city-states leading to their downfall.
