Or if you've read my book.  Or if you follow this school stuff.

Here we go deep into public schooling and home education again, figuring out if school is or should be a form of poorness/poverty. We talk about the dead whore in the bathtub, how awful school really is, how parents don't spend time with their kids, how to talk home education, what types of people went to school, helicopter parenting, conditioning for misery, learning, grades, un-learning for learning, programming, college and maturation, worthless diplomas, double losses, the "problem" with Praxis, giving college back to the rich, the future of schooling and why we are optimistic for change, how school makes people poor, how poor people will be stuck with school, and why the idea that school is for poor people is critical.

Is libertarianism a political failure?  Why enthusiastically yes! Here we talk about little corners of libertarianism, ask about Rawls' veil of ignorance, the joyful libertarian discovery process,  Ron Paul, Gary Johnson and libertarian politicians, your relationship with commerce, becoming an anarchist, libertarian guilt and what you are supposed to do, romanticizing oppression, feeling the burn of news TV, how I'm free, how I'm not free, having a how-do-you-do with your indoctrination, and cultivating libertarianism

0026 Libertarianism: a political failure 102816-FHY

I explore the common attributes of American life that foreigners find weird, such as saying "how do you do", tipping, being fat or driving in cars.  We spend a bit on whether Americans are unnatural or not, and discuss whether some crazy foreigners want to kill us.

Isaac Morehouse

Praxis CEO, public free thinker and BFF Isaac Morehouse joins me to expand on a Facebook post he wrote on "doublespeak" or "doublethink" where a policy idea is mistaken (or purposefully replaced) a more genuine objective or desire.  Here we talk myths about school, the law, the military, welfare, and regulation.  Enjoy!

0024 Doublethink Jointasode with Isaac Morehouse 06272016 - FHY

Today I explore the idea of whether government is cooperation or collaboration, whether anarchy is like the existence of bears or sharks based on an email and conversation from my friend Chris, local government, the nature of ants and bees, a book report on Edward O. Wilson's "The meaning of human existence", the nature of democracy, collaboration in the free market, pervasive collaboration that is voluntary and positive, I read a Jeffrey Tucker article on ice cream, we do a bit on I, Pencil, Isaac Morehouse's view of public choice theory,  try to make a toaster from scratch, the history of ice cream, talk to an alien and kick some ass with The Hudson Debacle's song "ice cream!".

0023 Is Government cooperation? Ice cream, ants and bears. 06222016 - FHY

I discuss the third component that would suggest a country is fascist which is militarism (combined with corporatist economics and nationalism).  Do we need our leaders to dress up in general's uniforms to be militaristic, or is it our ethics and investments that indicate militarism? Discussed is the history of the military and US wars, a look at the numbers of people working in the military, the glorification of the soldier, budgets and investment, our personal payments and responsibilities, and whether militarism (and the military) is necessary.

0022 F-Word in America - Militarism 060616 - FHY

In this episode, I discuss how being constantly 'busy' is probably a bad thing and that most people don't properly balance their time with their consumption and life changes.  I try to make the case that being "acceptably busy" is a conformist notion that has spread to every aspect of people's lives. I steal a clip of Tim Ferriss.  I also bizarrely get into the documentary "Lost Boys" about relocated Africans.  As always, I take a shot at school and homework.  I also explore alternate, more desirable consumption/time models that people might want to think about.

0021 Curse of the Busybody Conformists Consumers 060116 - FHY

In part two of "my struggle", I recount my past from post-college on, including my life in Boston, my jobs at companies like AT Kearny, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and others, the formation of my company, my TASM Lab music albums, my band the Hudson Debacle, my marriage, my kids and more.  Along the way I explain what life lesson I learned through my various endeavors and share some music that I wrote and performed.

0020 Ep Zero My Struggle Part Two 051616 - FHY

I discuss the basis of my worldview, including anarchism, peaceful parenting, atheism, unschooling, and personal freedom as context for previous and future podcasts. I also discuss my hobbies such as music and art, and give a much too long story about my childhood, teen and college years.  Part one of two.

0019 Episode Zero: My Struggle Part One 050616 - FHY

Jeff does a really nice job of breaking down psychological and social issues with an awesome dry sense of humor. He is open about his own experiences (including hilarious family vacations), which makes his analysis much richer. He knows his subjects, but has the intellectual humility to pursue the topics with rigor. Highly recommended for any liberty minded person.

You'll Never Look at Vacation the Same Again

Well produced, thoughtful, funny, and incisive. FHY challenges common assumptions and slaughters sacred cows like schooling, government programs, and generic do-gooderisms across the board. But it&#39;s not pessimistic. Jeff manages to pillory BS while still bringing a sense of optimism for the future of freedom and humanity. Check it out.

Brilliant!
