We also agreed to use the following definition for the non-aggre...

Support Better Sensemaking I recently spoke with James Guzman ( twitter ) from Borderlessblog.com where in addition to hosting an interesting interview show also helps you figure out how to leave the country of your birth. Becoming an expatriate isn’t a new concept, surely we all remember the American artists at the turn of the century who took up residence in a place like Paris. France might not be your final destination, but that doesn’t mean becoming an expat isn’t in your future. While many ...

Support Better Sensemaking I recently sat down with a new friend from twitter, who for the purposes of this conversation will go by her online account name @Rothbirdian . During our conversation we touch upon a variety of topics, including whether we are patriots - the differences in her perspective as an immigrant, and how relationships have suffered over the last year. We also talk about some silliness surrounding a certain segment of dude who would are faux Trad as I’d call them. We get perso...

Support Better Sensemaking I think I initially asked the Vixens to come on the show back in June. We finally had our schedules lined up just in time for The Met. After we get the introductions out of the way, we talk about our perceptions of someone like AOC, we end up talking about what it’s been like losing friends and a couple of my favorite subjects - generational differences and of course the paradox of identity. Here’s where you can find the Vixens Voluntaryvixens.com Main Instagram Main T...

Time to level up your reality Adam is going to introduce to this nascent idea known as post-libertarianism. At the outset, you might think that only libertarians should concern themselves with these ideas, but I think in the course of our conversation you will see the profound impacts for you and society. I think there’s something to the fact that being on the margin of political ideology, libertarianism might just be the next big thing. The only way it’s going to happen is if we can continue to...

Time to level up your reality If you’re a fan of twitter, you’ll like Nick Ashley . I met him on the Tower Power Hour, and since then he has managed to make multiple waves in the pond of Liberty Twitter. During our conversation we talk about how we use social media differently, what he’s said and why he says it. Ironically enough as I’m getting ready to post my interview with him it would appear as though he has been suspended from the platform. (JK I was looking at an old screen name) He also h...
