powder Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I listened to this discussion on Anarchy with James Corbett. I heard a podcast of James and Stefan from a couple of years ago in which Stefan was arguing for the merits of Anarchy and James was not convinced but remained open minded. In this panel discussion James argues for the ethical position of anarchy and does a good job of it. I think this is great, I like James who has done some really good stuff over the years I think.

MrCapitalism Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 One of his first podcasts if I remember correctly was "how to interpret the news," I thought he did an amazing job with it even though I think he was a little premature to jump to some of his conclusions. I really like the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuein Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 The conversation was very interesting. It was annoying that its' purpose, or lack of purpose, made for a very abstract and boundless chatter, which either confirmed my own biases, or annoyed me, when I heard things that sounded like fascism. I was actually surprised at the kid, Andrew, who said some serious to-the-point phrases about social order, anarchy, and problem solving. Short, lacking depth and direction, but still very stimulating & interesting. P.S. James recommends a documentary about shaping people according to a different social context (as compared to people right now, who are used to coercion and dependence).

It is about a teacher in Japan, and a class of fourth graders. It is about the purpose of their school year, and how they handle problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
