Story/Philosophy

I'm a thinker, entrepreneur, and father. I've been living on my own terms 15 years. That’s brought me success enough to “retire” and try things out. To keep busy and learning, I work on the projects below:

🎙 I podcast on topics related to being a more effective human in the modern world.

I don't like labels, though I'm starting to think I'm an "agorist," which is a free-market anarcho-captalist that believes in opting-out of the current system and engaging in "profitable civil disobedience."

I'm Nietzschean in my pursuit of the Overman.

I believe free markets are our best chance at a fair and equitable world.

Democracy is nothing but a parasite masquerading around as righteous endeavor.

Government is coercion through a monopoly on violence, and politics are a charade to prop it up by giving the masses an illusion of control.

I'm anti-politics.

I believe in freedom and human sovereignty and natural law.

I don't believe that the laws and governments created by others are moral or right or just or applicable to me.

Property rights must be the foundation of any just government.

If there should be any government at all, it should exist only to protect personal property rights, and everything beyond that scope is a violation of natural law and is thus unjust.

Society should protect the individual above all else. No exceptions.

If it does, it will get the better world that so many collectivists claim to want because it will result in a society of willing actors pursuing their happiness through free markets, which are the byproduct of willing actors each pursuing their happiness as they see fit. And this is how you get prosperity, as it has been shown by EVERY SINGLE prosperous nation in history.

Democracy, socialism, and other collectivist ideas are a violation of natural law because they are based on taking from one—using violence—and giving to another.

"Democracy is indispensable to socialism." -Vladimir Lenin

America is the greatest country/ideal to ever exist.

Though it’s become corrupted.

It’s not perfect, but it’s the best humanity has come up with.

Like all states, it’s grown over time into a Frankenstein. It perfectly manifests the inherent problems with democracy (and all state intervention): corruption, lobbying, crony capitalism, identity politics, money printing, inflation, fiat, colonialism, public officials having no skin in the game, etc.

2020 woke me up to politics and how precarious the "freedom" I've enjoyed my whole life is.

I believe the constitution and bill of rights are the best documents ever created for protecting these ideals. The fact that most of the founding fathers were libertarian or had libertarian ideals should tell you all you need to know.

The state should be as small as possible. It should tax least so that the creative individuals will be attracted to come and produce wealth for themselves and humanity.

We’ve created massive prosperity in spite of the state, not becuase of it.

My mission in life is to help build Better Humans by exposing the status quo, educating as many humans as possible and helping them think for themselves and from first principles, and to promote Freedom and Sovereignty for humanity through education and Bitcoin (the greatest tool for freedom humanity has ever found).
