David Boaz

There needs to be a list, and we'll make a page somewhere and just put it up of books.

But I was thinking about just right off the top, one of the ones that really influenced me that, um, was a very easy read, uh, David Boaz's book, Libertarianism.

Yeah, the Libertarian Primer.

Looks like Primer.

And I was...

And I, and I have, uh, David Boaz's Libertarian book, and I've been reading it, and it just brought me to this question.

Is it good, bad, indifferent, or what? I, I'm confused now.

It's not good if they take over, but I don't think they will.

Glad to have you on The Gary Nolan Show.

I'm, I'm telling you, you, you gotta pick up some of these, uh, books.

Uh, David Boaz is a, a... uh, was a great author, uh, head of Cato.

Um, you, you s- you begin to realize that the things that you expected the Republicans to do, they never did.

When I'm asked, you know, "Explain your philosophy," by, by somebody who is curious and is in good faith but has not come across it, you know, a teenage, you know, s- a high school student.

I, I borrow from Tom Palmer and, and David Boaz, and I say it's really about applying to governments the same, uh, basic ethics that we expect everyone else to live by.

So the, the, the global, uh, philosophy encapsulated in the slogan, "Don't hurt people, don't take their stuff," right? We, w- I hope we try and live that way.

Mm-hmm.

And And when Pew looked at the big random studies, they weren't seeing a clear, sustained revival among young adults at all.

There's a line from one of the skeptics that I keep coming back to, a social scientist named David Boaz, who basically said, if this revival were real...

We'd be looking for literally millions of new churchgoers, and they'd have to be awfully quiet to have gone completely unnoticed.

In other words, David is saying millions of people is a lot of people.

Uh, I knew, you know, I knew Ed Crane very well.

I knew David Boaz very well.

Yeah.

Both of them are gone now unfortunately.
