The Age of Information: Orthodoxy & The Modern World

Corey from Phocasseeds.com, and a member of the LPCT Mises Caucus, joins to me to talk about how human beings can create for themselves, and how they can derive meaning from nature. We also talk heavily about our religious upbringing and evolution, which you know I continue to enjoy. I really enjoyed this. You should check out what Corey is doing at www.phocasseeds.com and Check out his Podcast at Phocas Seedcast!

Stephen Kirschner and I resume our conversation from September 28th, 2020 (Episode 2:13.) We previously talked about post-modernism and its offshoots: post-structuralism, and post-colonialism, and what all of that entails. Please go back and start there, because this conversation will make a lot more sense. We continue our conversation on how to keep a balance between Materialism and Mysticism, and how cultures can grow away from the current system and prosper, while maintaining tradition and systems that work. I touch on having a balance in your life and how to direct your brain to center your conscious so that you don't lose your sense of self. This is the start of a new conversation, and I can't wait to continue this journey with you all. Thank you for following along this far.

This week, Bill and I work though a plethora of libertarian issues, and how we might see the best way to move forward.

Today, Chris and I touch on most of Chapters 25-35 in the Book of Genesis, in only the way that Chris Maness can bring to a conversation. Personally, I found myself flying through a myriad of emotions here, and I hope you feel that as well. I've started focusing less on the text itself, assuming that yall have begun following along in your own scripture. And if you haven't, I suggest you start. We never set out to make this a Bible Study Course. This is our way of hashing out a certain set of ideas, and I would advise picking up a copy of the Bible and familiarizing yourself with the words so that you can understand where we're coming from. As always, you can check out Chris on social media @Hollywood. Enjoy the show!

My friend Adam Lopez joins me for a discussion on what the "new normal" looks like these days following the election, and in a world seriously considering travel papers under the name "Vaccine Passports." We also talk about last year's election, virtue signaling on social media (and how to use it properly,) adapting to your job in a covid world, as well as messaging and marketing (one of the best talents you can ever learn.) I love people named Adam because they're always so witty and intelligent. It's just the nature of the beast. You can check Adam Lopez out on social media at @theadamlopez and check out his wonderful marketing at edgewood.marketing or theadamlopez.com This was a good one!

Clint from the Liberty Lockdown Podcast joins me for a passionate discussion on where the libertarian movement is headed, what messaging needs to be at the forefront, and what the housing market is going to look like in the coming years. Clint's passion, righteous anger, and honesty shine through here.

Bill Barger, host of "Don't Quote Me On This," invited me on to chat about libertarianism, virtue signaling, woke culture, social media, and morality. Well, those are the things we ended up talking about anyway. This was super fun, and I appreciate Bill asking me to join him.

Matthew Erickson joins the show to discuss human instinct and culture, and where we may be headed (or perhaps also where we've come from.) You're going to love this discussion, it's may be my favorite in the history of the show. Our talk will alter future discussions, and illuminate what we mean by the mystical and the material. Matt is the host of @KingPilled, and also the Co-Host of Wealth, Power, and Influence with Jason Stapleton. He is one of the people to watch, moving forward, when it comes to political theory and human cycles and patterns. Enjoy!

The great Vin Armani returns to the show. We expand on the ideas from our last episode on #theDimAge, reflecting on the material vs the mystical, how spells and magic rituals permeate culture, and how to find The Most High. We delve pretty deep into Bitcoin also, and how it transcends our material reality. And, of course, how libertarians can find the light in a world of darkness. Consider joining Vin for Bitcoin Mystery School here: https://www.codefromgo.com/course/bitcoin-mystery-school-novice-initiation/ or simply search for it online.

Chris Maness returns to the show to discuss Genesis chapters 12-25, The Life of Abraham. There's a lot here, and we had a bunch of fun talking about all of it. We touch on how these stories can be taken out of context, what they meant for the time they were written, what the stories are trying to tell us, and how we might learn from their lessons. Check out Chris on YouTube @Hollywood

I've invited Dave Cutillo back to the show, in what will be the first installment of a multi-part series on the fallout of the Trump Presidency. Dave was a guest on episodes 2:4 and 2:15, and is as hardcore of a Trump supporter as I know. We've talked a lot about the blue pill and the red pill on this show, but not so much about the white pill (optimism,) and the black pill (cynicism,) and I thought it would be interesting to explore both sides of that spectrum. Dave is most definitely representing the black-pilled side, and I wanted to get to the bottom of why, and what our society might be able to do to get out of this nightmare. I'll leave it to you, the listeners, to decide which side you're inclined to fall on. We'll be looking at a few other opinions with some other folks, in the weeks to come. Enjoy!

Chris Maness joins me once again to continue our discussion of the Bible from an anarchist/libertarian perspective. Today we take a look at Moses' account of the corruption of man through the 'Sons of God.' Check out our previous episodes 2:9 and 2:21 to catch up!

Angela has emerged as the heir apparent to the chair of the Libertarian National Committee, and I've invited her on to talk about the future of the LP. Angela currently chairs the LP of LA County, California, and is a prominent voice in the Libertarian Party Mises Caucus (LPMC.) We break down what has happened with the LP, in recent years as far as candidates, messaging, and pushing liberty-minded folks away. We get into what can be done to fix these issues, and what the liberty community can do to show support. There's nobody on the ground working harder to bring the liberty movement into the Libertarian Party, and I'm thankful her voice is changing the paradigm.

Chris Maness returns to the show to pick up where we left off on Episode 2:09. We begin to explore the Bible, the first of the historical religious texts this show aims to dissect.

In the wake of the George Floyd brutal homicide, millions around the world have taken to the streets in protest of police brutality. Nevermind that the coronavirus seems to have vanished from their minds, these are serious issues that folks are justifiably angry about. It is not okay that a man minding his own business, hurting no one, and committing no crime, was murdered by anyone, let alone the police. And while there are calls around the nation to "defund" the police, I doubt that will actually happen, and it misses the point entirely. The police are not the problem. They're simply the result of a much larger problem; a population addicted to government, and a government that enacts random legislation that must be enforced by all means by an army called the police. Victimless crimes are created that cause innocent and peaceful persons to have encounters with law enforcement that could be so easily prevented in the first place. You don't have to defund the police. Remove the legislation that creates crimes with no victims, effectively shrinking the police force as a result. Then defund the state. The state exists to protect life, liberty, and property, and nothing more. That is not how they operate today. Take away their source of revenue, and render them irrelevant. Today on Straight Up, I get into all of this, and explain how Voluntaryism and Agorism can lead to a more peaceful society. One that has a foundation in actual individual liberty and economic freedom. And I swear a lot. So enjoy :) --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
