I had a great time conversing with Tyrone the Porcupine Hobo!
He talked about his interesting handle, and his backstory as a second generation libertarian born on the day America died (yes, he explains this).
He spent some time talking about how he tends to be short-term black pilled, but long-term white pilled. And I take a crack at chipping away at some of those black pills.
Tyrone the Porcupine Hobo is the co-host, producer and editor of the Haman Nature show, which can be found on: YouTube, Substack, Rumble, and X.
He studied philosophy as an undergraduate, is a former casino marketing executive, was on the editorial board for the Agorist Writers Workshop, a former member of the Libertarian Party of Minnesota executive committee, a published short story author, a freelance audio and video producer, and currently works in finance.
He fosters rescue dogs, is a pinball and bowling enthusiast, and a diehard perennially disappointed Vikings football fan.
