In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley imagines a bleak future in which the population is segmented and conditioned from artificial conception to grave.  The linchpin of this society is the drug "soma," which lulls the user into a euphoric, pliable, and suggestive state. In this Thoughtcrime Thursdays edition of the show, we discuss the proper role of hallucinogenics and other drugs within society. In doing so, we rely on the work of Aldous Huxley and Graham Hancock to frame the issue. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/libertyweekly/support

In the Constitution of No Authority, Lysander Spooner obliterates the idea that the drafters of the Constitution and the people they represented had the authority or ability to bind their posterity to the government they created.

So you and your friend start talking about politics and you lay out the most infallible defense of  why taxation is theft. But then, "muh social contract," or "muh roadz" appears and the conversation devolves from there. In this episode we  explore just that situation with our good friends Robert and Daniel from the Actual Anarchy Podcast who join us to share their experience at Larken Rose's "Candles in the Dark" seminar where they accumulated Jedi Mind-trick level tactics for penetrating the Statist min --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/libertyweekly/support

Is libertarianism about more than just non-aggression? Is it possible to couple the message with  other cultural or social beliefs? Do libertarians risk irrelevance by ignoring traditional social arrangements? Should libertarians focus on propagating "Libertarian Universalism?

In this edition of our Thoughtcrime Thursdays series, we tell the clandestine tale behind the seminal psychiatric work Political Ponerology. In the second half of the episode, we use American Psycho to help the audience digest and explore this revelation. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/libertyweekly/support
