Chew Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I 'll be brief and to the point. Stef should interview Kal Molinet. This interview with Ben Lowrey is the best video I've seen in a long time. David
Nathan T_ Freeman Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 They know each other. There are pictures of Stef and Kal together at both Libertopia and PorcFest.Also, Kal's house has a sign outside that says "We practice Universally Preferable Behavior."
Rob_Ilir Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Also, Kal's house has a sign outside that says "We practice Universally Preferable Behavior." That is so nice, he sounds nice.
cherapple Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 I discovered Kal Molinet after Jeff Maxim (Skeptical Youth) interviewed him. What struck me most were his clarity and success in talking about anarchy with those around him, and his smile. He seems to have "happy anarchist" down. By his telling, even with his mother. I'm skeptical, but intrigued. I subbed to his videos. I wouldn't mind hearing a chat between Kal and Stef.
Wesley Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Just for good measure and a bump, I also expressed interest in this interview in this thread. http://board.freedomainradio.com/forums/t/39247.aspx
Chew Posted July 4, 2013 Author Posted July 4, 2013 My reason for bringing attention to Kal Molinet was indeed his style rather than the content. Thats not to say the content is bad in any way, quite the opposite. I would love to see an interview with Stef where they focused on style. It is something that I personally have struggled with when trying to explain anarchy to people. Its quite possible that I would have more success if I were to focus more on the positives. After all if our goal is to change peoples minds we should be using every possible tool in our box to achieve that goal. In fact, ironically and in a round about way its like applying the non-aggression principle.
kalmia Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 I think he was on a Sunday show a while back. He appears to be forming a community in Richmond, VA. I met him at PorcFest 2012 and enjoyed talking to him. I also noticed that he has the charm and charisma part of his presentation much more mastered than the vast majority of libertarians. I think some of it might come from his Bolivian background. Being more outwardly passionate about something is much more a part of certain Latin American cultures. I have been studying some marketing and sales, and one thing that I notice lacking in many libertarins that is necessary in marketing and sales is enthusiasm and positivity. He has much more of that than the vast majority. I also beleive in forming local communities and see that as the next neccessary step to advance a free society. I am interested in anyone who is doing this. There are some doing this in New Hampshire, and there is also Justin Stout doing this in North Carolina.
