At first yes. Seems like the obvious choice. From there I'd go where the audience is.

I didn't mean that literally. Stefan is a good looking guy. I meant some doe eyed pretty boy that would appeal to newer less informed viewers that aren't quite ready for the adult show that we have here. It's a completely different and separate show that's slower and gentler with more entertainment value for the newbies to freedom and philosophy. Using pretty faces and entertainment to break through emotional barriers kind of thing. And it was just an idea I was putting out there to see if anyone else thinks the same. It's likely I won't have the funding or help to pull it off anyway. And I'll do what I deem pertinent to further the spread of logic and ethics. I'm fully aware of the challenges and probable futility at the higher levels, but we can all do something in small way to change people's minds or at least make them question their beliefs. I'm not gonna sit around, stay silent, and do nothing.

For some people yes I completely agree. There are certainly people out there that would make anarcho-capitalism look bad cause they don't truly understand it or adhere to principles. But what about those people who are actually passionate about virtue but just misinformed and through that ignorance have been co-opted by the leftist narrative? I was once ignorant in the ways of economics and deeper logic but after hearing the facts and evidence I came around. I would imagine there are others out there who are in the same boat. Are we not all entertained to some degree by provocative ideas? South Park entertains while sending a libertarian message. I think being entertaining only helps to promote ideas. In the end it's up to the viewer to decide to accept or ignore the message. Indeed it does. Funding is always the main issue with my ideas. This one I would also need a team of level minded and calm people to help soften the message cause I tend to get too passionate and theatrical in debate. One medium I've noticed that seems to convey logic with audience appeal is stand up comedy. Making jokes makes the message easier to accept and removes a lot of the preachiness from complex and controversial ideas. I think this would be a lot of fun with a budget and creative team but as one person with no excess money I'd be another nobody on youtube who's just a "right wing radical nutjob" to the audience I'm trying to reach. I'm not the face for this show even though I'm pretty decently good looking I guess.

Good to be here. I personally like Stefan and the way he presents the ideas. I dig the accent and the passion in which he conveys the facts and evidence. I've gained a lot of insight from the ideas that were presented and it's helped me to further understand and look past the veil that our fellow cows use to keep us all on the same page. It's truly been a red pill kind of experience over the last 4-5 years for me. I'm thinking there has to be a way to be sincere and kind to the opposition to help them understand. Not by setting a trap, but with understanding and starting slowly in introducing the ideas. I'm probably not the best person for the job cause I lean more like Stefan in intensity, but I'm sure there's some doe eyed Brad Pitt/Ryan Gosling type person that cuts right through to the monkey brain of potential listeners and disarms their defenses. And that's great there's so many viewers and subscribers out there. The snowball is getting bigger and that's very encouraging. But I only know one other person who's a listener IRL. I want more to talk to! There's still way too many statists and marxists out there. Lately I've been noticing a lot more doom and gloom stuff as well. Which is the truth about the world around us to be sure, but not the best for attracting new listeners from a wider audience. We need to spread hope somehow. Attracting flies with honey rather than vinegar..

Hello everyone. Been a listener for about 3 years and this is my first post in the forums. I love the message that's being put out there by Stefan and people like us. The ideas and the logic are sound and even if I might have a slight disagreement personally on an emotional level I still agree with the facts and evidence presented. I think people like us are going to be essential in saving the world by waking people up from the brainwashing that has infected the human condition and impeded our true potential as a species and a society. However we can (and must) do better and reach more people to continue spreading this message. Reason and evidence works on the intelligent and reasonable and that's why we're all here, but what about the rest? We have an echo chamber where we can talk amoungst ourselves but what about getting that message to those who disagree due to their ignorance and emotional barriers? History has shown that the ideas that gain wide appeal are the one's that are made most palatable through pretty faces and superficial appeal. The left has been particularly good at this with bread and circuses and using the media to push their agenda through celebrity and popular movements, so why not us in some way? I personally like Stefan and I find him to be eloquent and entertaining, but there are quite a few people out there that are repelled by him and his presentation unfortunately. Some of the complaints I've heard is "He sounds like he's talking down to me" or "He's a know it all" or "He sounds so arrogant" and so on.. Hell there are people who take his classical theater influenced presentations as a personal insult and hate his accent, and that is their stopping point in watching the show. It's such a pity that people are turned off to the taste and nutrition of the food being presented just because they don't like how it looks or smells. Emotional knee jerk objections coming from people who would probably listen if they didn't have a personal aversion to the presenter. Couldn't that perhaps be improved on with a more populous friendly and down to earth face to present the ideas? I'm not saying Stefan should step aside and get a new host but I'm thinking perhaps another show secretly sponsored by free domain radio with a more lefty and female friendly host who could get right past those emotional barriers. A show that uses a pretty face and kinder tone to slowly introduce the ideas. A host that is "likable" as a primary objective (just like how the media does it). A more interactive show with more real time call ins and shorter debates that are more geared to inform rather than vanquish the opposition. A show that perhaps doesn't go full AnCap at first and tries to build an audience by being entertaining primarily and slowly presenting the facts and evidence? A variety show with comedy, animations, out on the street interviews, special guests, and other various segments. I guess what it boils down to is Anarcho-Capitalism needs a public relations team basically. The opposition is built on pretty looking and sounding bullshit and I think we can do the same thing, but with substance and facts as our foundation instead. Any other ideas? I could be dead wrong about all this but I wanted to put it out there and see what you all think. I just think we have to sugarcoat the message for the "children" to get them to take their medicine so to speak. They know they need to take it but will come up with any excuse not to. Lets make them want to take it.
