In the final episode of 2017, I reflect on the personal journey I’ve taken with Liberty Weekly, highlight some of my favorite episodes, celebrate the human connections I’ve made, and set some goals for 2018!

Episode 48 of the Liberty Weekly Podcast is brought to you by:
In this first video/documentary style podcast, I review Lt. Col. Dave Grossman’s seminal work On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society. In doing so, I examine mankind’s inherent resistance to taking human life. Next, we take a look at the US Army’s discovery of this resistance and their subsequent efforts to overcome it. Finally, I examine Dave Grossman himself, his overarching thesis, and his side business, where he conditions government goons to kill reflexively.

I hopped on Keith Knight’s “Don’t Tread on Anyone” for a mock debate. Keith played devil’s advocate and threw pretty much every statist argument at me. I didn’t know the questions beforehand, but I’ve heard them all before. Hopefully my impromptu answers will help others in their own debates!
Warren v. DC is a DC Court of Appeals case that is often cited by anarcho-capitalists and voluntaryists to support the fact that police owe no duty to protect specific individuals. In this scholarly episode of the podcast, I break down the Court’s opinion into digestible chunks. In doing so, I confirm the assertion and explain the Court’s reasoning, which ultimately does underscore the need for privatized policing.
Nothing stated in this Episode is to be construed as constituting legal advice or an offer to provide legal advice or services. I am still a law student and not an attorney.
Episode 46 of the Liberty Weekly Podcast is brought to you by:
This week I am joined by Theodore, who proposes that voluntarily crowd funding government is the most realistic path towards achieving a fully voluntary society. Since Theodore told me his favorite conversations start with the phrase “we shouldn’t crowd fund government because . . .” I use this chance to tease the idea apart. I hope that you enjoy our conversation!
