I thoroughly enjoyed my discussion with someone I genuinely respect, Patrick Smith. We covered both fun and serious topics and I think you’ll get something out of it...I certainly did.
Patrick is co-hosting and speaking at Larken Rose’s upcoming event, “Approaching Humanity” (I’ll be speaking there as well by the way!) Details for the event are at his main site and on YouTube.
Covered in this episode:
Patrick’s main Anarchast page (which links to its Discord server)
and on YouTube
His Peaceful Parenting University
His Disenthrall YouTube channel
“The Most Dangerous Superstition” by Larken Rose
“No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority” by Lysander Spooner
