Optimistic Anarchism 2.0: Scaling Personal Anarchy into Adaptive Anarchy
Decentralized Order in an Age of Overreach Civilization mistook centralization for order. The older truth is simpler: order appears wherever humans coordinate without permission. I. The Old Lie of Order Modern people inherit a superstition: that order descends from authority. We’ve been trained to see stability as something bestowed—charters, flags, marble buildings, and committees promising…
The Vision of Palantir: Illuminating Truth in an Age of Uncertainty
In the rich mythology of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth, the palantíri were the “seeing stones”—indestructible crystal orbs created by the master craftsman Fëanor that could reveal distant events across time and space[1][2]. These ancient artifacts, whose name derives from the Quenya words “palan” (far) and “tir” (watch over), served as instruments of communication and observation for…
The Crypto Reset Button: How Bitcoin, Stablecoins and a $35T Debt Problem Could Detonate a Global “Deflation Bomb”
No theatrics. No tinfoil. Just a cold read: the U.S. fiscal structure is under structural strain, crypto has graduated from fringe playground to macro policy tool, and the plumbing—stablecoins, seized crypto, leveraged derivatives and geopolitics—creates a credible pathway for a massive, deflationary systemic shock if policymakers try to “rewrite” obligations through digital assets. Below I…
The AI of Manufactured Consent: How Bots Manipulated Reddit Users Without Their Consent
Recent revelations about University of Zurich researchers secretly deploying AI bots to manipulate opinions on Reddit represent a disturbing evolution in how consent can be manufactured in the digital age. Their unauthorized experiment involved AI systems posing as trauma survivors, counselors, and political commentators, generating over 1,700 comments in a popular debate forum. Preliminary findings…
MANIPULATION MACHINA: NETFLIX’S FOUNDER WEAPONIZED MIND CONTROL PLAYBOOK
You think you chose that show last night? Think again. Every time you fire up Netflix, you’re stepping into the most sophisticated psychological manipulation chamber ever created for mass consumption. And it’s no accident. Netflix co-founder Marc Randolph didn’t just build a streaming platform-he constructed a digital extension of Edward Bernays’ propaganda machine that would…
Debt Doomsday: How America’s Fiscal Time Bomb — And How to Fix It
The average American family drowns in $104,000 of personal debt. But Uncle Sam’s drowning faster — with every citizen shackled to $106,000 in national debt. Here’s why this explosive combo could vaporize your savings… and the controversial escape plan that could save the Republic. Your Debt vs. America’s Debt: Two Sides of the Same Rotting Coin Your…
The Shocking Truth About Gun Violence in America (And Why You’re Being Misled)
Did you know that you are 14 times more likely to die from a medical error than from a gun homicide in America? Or that cardiovascular disease kills over 51 times more people than all gun murders combined, yet receives a fraction of the media attention? Brace yourself: what you’ve been told about America’s “gun…
Control of Language, Control of Thought
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for a lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. – Hermann Göering Gilbert, G.M. Nuremberg Diary. York: Da…
Veiled Paradigms
Conspiracy is as natural as breathing. And since the struggles for advantage nearly always have a rhetorical strain, we believe that the systematic contemplation of them forces itself on the student of rhetoric. Indeed, of all the motives in Machiavelli, is not the most usable for us his attempt to transcend the disorders of his…
Politics as Pro-Wrestling
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. Mencken, H.L. A Mencken Chrestomathy. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1956, p. 29 The winner of the last contest, a very powerful man, walks down the ramp to the deafening…
Democrazy: Democratic Fascism?
I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for…
Nietzschean Libertarianism
Ernest Jones, a biographer of the father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, said of Nietzsche that he “had more penetrating knowledge of himself than any other man who ever lived or was ever likely to live”. I find it difficult to categorize Nietzsche sometimes because he was so decidedly anti-system and went out of his way…
Language & Liberty
Anomaly, Tea-O-Conned, and New Word Order warn against top-down, authoritarian attempts to détourn dissenters back into the fold. The good news is that despite some efforts to the contrary, there really is no “New Word Order” dictating meaning from the top down to us plebes. Now if only we can let our fellow humans know this!…
Thomas Paine Was A Red: A Primer on Libertarian Welfare
Libertarians sure are a contentious group; they love to quarrel. Did you know that Murray Rothbard wrote a one-act play satirizing Ayn Rand called “Mozart Was A Red”? Did you know that Robert Anton Wilson wrote an entire book satirizing Murray Rothbard’s natural rights approach entitled, “Natural Law: Or Don’t Put a Rubber On Your…
Nobody Expects the American Inquisition
Having been a long-time libertarian, the over-arching moral directive of my adult life has been the idea of voluntarism, i.e., that all forms of human interaction should be consensual. This emphasis on the primacy of consent in all social avenues often leads libertarians to hold positions that seem counter-intuitive to the uninitiated. Maybe my point…
Social X
The attention of most libertarians seems to be easily directed at economic or political topics, but really there are a number of topics in other fields that warrant our concern as well. I wanted to bring up what I call “Social X”, i.e., social experiments. Understanding the implications of these experiments can become a form…
Optimistic Anarchism: Avoiding Enforcement Zones
I want to share a concept that is very near and dear to my heart, one that hopefully resonates. This concept is something I call Personal Anarchy (PA) which is NOT anarcho-capitalism. I do not consider “anarcho-capitalism” tenable for many reasons. One main reason is that the concept “property” is doomed to being eternally ill-defined.…
Defining Liberty
Alex Wissner-Gross, Harvard Ph.D. in physics, has developed an equation that may explain intelligence itself, which some libertarians may find very flattering: Intelligence is a physical process that seeks to “maximize future freedom of action and to avoid constraints in its own future.” Reading this really got me thinking about how libertarianism would be best…
