I'm having trouble understanding how so many in the Austrian school of economics are catholics. Tom Woods, Lew Rockwell, Jeffrey Tucker, and a number of others are catholics. he hierarchical structure based off of people who have wanted to control for hundreds of years that is so present in the catholic church, seems in complete opposition to the ethical reasons for anarcho-capitalism. Is there anyone here that's been given a rational answer for this?

My podcast, The Renegade Variety Hour, had an opportunity to interview Shawn Huckabay of rationalanimal.info, and we took it. We discuss liberty, political action, conspiracy theories, and how we both lost a whole lot of weight. Here's the episode and the facebook page Thanks to everyone who has been listening and giving us feedback.

Hey, everyone. Myself, and a fellow Freedomain listener, Taryn Harris, started a new podcast called "The Renegade Variety Hour." We've both been fans of Stefan Molyneux for years, and like Stef, we aim to disassociate from the misinformation that plagues society, and move beyond the mental confines that imprison us. We hope to add to the conversation of freedom, unschooling, and peaceful parenting. We're finishing up our series on Public Schooling right now, and are delving into psychological drugs and their effects on the brain next. Hope you all check it out, and if anyone has any show suggestions or would be willing to help us out (we're new to this), just send me a PM or post it. Thanks The episodes can be found here and on iTunes. check out our facebook group

Caral- A Case Against Universal Distructive Pedigodgy in ancient Man
Carlos Morales replied to Jamie's topic in Miscellaneous
Is that your website? -
Well, the amount of Chi woo woo (I'm sure you now exactly what I'm talking about, but just in case others don't understand http://www.skepdic.com/chi.html ) that goes on in many of these schools would cause me great concern if taken as an example for truly private schooling. I enjoyed my time in martial arts, namely boxing and muay thai in my case, from the ages of 12-17 and then 21-24. In all honesty though, my positive experiences in no way outway the negative physical outcomes that came from it - mainly, I had 3 concussions by the time I was 15 years old. I'm not sure how schools will work when there is no public schooling, but I hope than rather than people asking "how will children be raised without public school", they will ask "how did we ever stick children in these conditions, and how ignorant was us to assume that 1 person could ever tell us how to educate 100, 1,000, 100,000, or 100 million children without a hint of skepticism."

Hunter-Gatherer society, mushrooms, and private property
Carlos Morales replied to Connor's topic in Philosophy
In addition to what Jamie stated, much of the information on this topic that they discuss on the Joe Rogan podcast - which I enjoy- comes from Terrence McKenna and his stoned ape theory. It's romantic, but the evidence for it is light and the evidence for his Novelty theory is non-existent. The feelings and ego-death from taking halucinogenic drugs have been positive in many peoples lives, but the theories that they arrive to in while in that state are hard to take seriously. -
My sister-in-law and brother are compulsive liars and alcoholics. They've been given many chances, from rehab from my brother - and during his rehab my sister-in-law stated that "no one will take away my alcohol - to blanket forgiveness by my family repeatedly for their behavior. My brother received a number of DWI's, and was helped out by my father in a number of cases to help fix his cases. Recently, yet again, my sister-in-law began yelling at me in front of my family, stating that "You think you're so high and fucking mighty because your sober", which is a common theme of abusive people. They have a completely violence based relationship, though not physical violence that I know of, and they express that violent behavior on others. Due to this repeated onslaught of hate, they have been ostracized and not spoken to anymore. Let me make this clear, I realize that the first response by some people here is that my parents fucked up in raising him. But, my parents through discussions, therapy and life events have expanded their minds and have become even more loving human beings who have embraced anarchism, atheism, and have categorically apologized for any abuse while stating that my wife and I will be better parents. My brother, on the hand, is a 30 year old boy who has done nothing but fuck up his own life while blaming others and constantly lying. He should be ostracized and not forgiven because he's gone too deep down a hole of shit.

I realize I'm jumping into this conversation, but I believe that condemnation and ostracization are useful in deterring repeated immoral behavior. If you kill someone, steal repeatedly, are a compulsive liar, you should be condemned and ostracized from society.

Michael Savage: Time for a 'Nationalist' party
Carlos Morales replied to Alan C.'s topic in Philosophy
Because language is one of the most important parts of a culture. Much of the way we think, not necessarily scientifically but on a subjective preference level, is based on our language. I'm obviously not agreeing with Savage, he's a bit of a dip shit.
