In this episode I interview the eclectic Adam Haman. Be sure to check out Adam’s prolific work on Substack.
And his YouTube channel.
Topics from this episode:
Stephan Kinsella’s "Against Intellectual Property".
And a great companion piece: "Against Intellectual Monopoly" by Boldrin and Levine.
Adam’s interview of professional gambler John Pollak, feat. Bob Murphy.
The masking of the Vegas Strip’s Statue of Liberty during the height of the COVID hysteria. Hard to believe it actually happened.
Like Adam, I’m not over COVID tyranny (the title of his recent Substack article).
…which is a good opportunity to mention my own article on COVID, identifying it (yes, even back then) as history’s most extreme example of mass hysteria.
Adam and Bob Murphy recently discussed the open borders position with Jacob Hornberger.
...and I asked him how strict libertarian property rights fits in. I intended to reference Patrick Smith's comments in this Anarchast clip.
Also…
“The Problem of Political Authority” by Michael Huemer (see below).
“The Most Dangerous Superstition” by Larken Rose: (see below).
"Jones Plantation", a feature film by Andrew Treglia and Larken Rose.
"Barnum World", a recent YouTube mockumentary by Andrew Treglia.
