Meeting FDR people in person

[BaylorPRSer]

Hello Freedomainers,

 

This post is to encourage anyone in his or her endeavor to connect with fellow members of this community as well as those who possess self-knowledge.  I've had 3 dinners with two gentlemen from this community, Nathan Hoffner and Nathan Diehl.  The very first conversation was absolutely mind-blowing and each subsequent conversation was superior to the previous.  I found both of them to be incredibly intelligent and insightful as well as riveting to listen to.  Funny thing, there is actually a Liberty on the Rocks chapter in Houston.  I've been to several meetings and enjoyed shooting the shit and listening to the speakers.  I've even hung out with a few of them outside of LOTR meetings.  The conversations and experiences with libertarians at LOTR do not hold a candle to my conversations with the Nathans.  I don't think we talked about the state at all honestly.  We talked about way more interesting stuff, and it was incredibly refreshing and beneficial.  Just posting this in case any of you are thinking about attempting a meetup.  Pull the trigger!  I can't guarantee they'll be as fascinating as the Nathans, but even if they're less advanced than you, be open to the idea that you can still learn from them!  And if you're out in BFE, Skype with someone!  

 

Much love,

Chris

Ditto. If anyone reading this is having trouble finding a meetup or a skype call to join send me a private message. I'd be happy to help connect you (or point you to someone who can) since meeting like minded people has personally been the most rewarding part of Freedomain Radio for me.

Another ditto. It's pretty awesome being in the company of others who at least either get it, or who won't be offended by whatever topic or "radical" ideas come up during conversation. 

I know I'm not alone when I say its challenge having to constantly keep your guard up around civilians AKA volatile non-thinkers and those without much empathy. 
From my limited experience, the folks you meet from here are quality people.
