Hi Stefan,

Good show. I'm glad to hear that your treatment is going relatively well, considering.

One minor quip on your "invisible gun" segment in this episode. 

While I understand that it is a shorthand for underlying ideas (UPB, individual rights, etc.), saying that paying taxes is involontary because otherwise they point a gun at you seems incorrect. A collection agency for a voluntary service may also employ violence as a last resort. The root of the issue is whether government is voluntary, not whether it uses a gun. I just wanted to offer you this feedback about your messaging. Unfortunately, I don't have a suggestion for a better shorthand.Cheers,

Julien
