Stephan Kinsella (The Kinsellanator) returns to dispense some White Pills

And, and it's interesting that the three conferences you attended, attended, uh, you know, property and freedom and Bitcoin and the free cities, those really have nothing to do at all with activism.

They're not really trying to speak to the common man in any way.

They are actually all addressing in one way or another physical foundational principles or intellectual foundational principles in some way.

And since it's targeted and since it's foundational, that's where I think the transition to a free society is going to be able to play out best because-

Yeah

... that's what you need to structure a society anyway-

Yeah

...

even if it is spot on.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think the, uh, the PFS in Turkey, that's the, the more theoretical, um, um, uh, libertarian crowd.

Uh, although they're aware of, and m- many of them are Bitcoiners.

Um, the, the, um, the free cities thing is people trying to find practical liberty-oriented ways to advance in life, um, you know, by splitting, finding things you can do.

Um, and I, I admire all those efforts and, you know, that's how we make progress partly is by pushing, pushing, pushing and finding and, you know, keeping your eyes open, being alert for possibilities.

Uh, and then, uh, they're all aware of Bitcoin, and the Bitcoiners, uh, typically came from Austrian, Austrianism or libertarianism, at least a lot of them did.

So they're aware of all that too.

Um, they all feed back on each other, and now we have AI and robots coming too, and that kind of tech and, uh, the communications from, um, from Starlink and all that kind of stuff.

So we, we don't really know what's coming next, but we have lots of interesting things on the horizon, which I know a lot of people are ...

They look at the, the glass is half full side, you know, the, like the flock cameras.

People are upset about that a- and, um, and surveillance state and loss of privacy and, um ...

But, you know, I always tend to think that technology tends to help the good guys on balance more than the bad guys, um, um, s- sort of for the, for the opposite reasons that, that defense is easier than, than offense in, in, in the game Risk [chuckles] or Castle Risk-

Yeah

... you know?

Right.
