      tbf yarvin's singapore solution is more sustainable long term since it has created a economy for itself from scratch even though it has structural advantages of being placed in the region where a large portion of world trade happens with rapidly industrializing economies , it;s security is similar to that of liechtenstein since it is's two big trade partners are also the biggest economies in the region and it's biggest ethnic groups namely india and china so a systemic equlibrium is guarenteed moreover singapore has a larger scale and capacity to innovate which liechtenstein lacks in a certain since it's economy has stagnated for the last 20 years while singapore keeps growing it's income levels contiously

    Great show Auron. I’m a former libertarian but Dave is one of the few libertarians I still listen to pretty consistently. I find him to be genuine and I think there’s overlap on many significant issues. I think many libertarians are reachable by ideas from Yarvin and elite theory. I think the biggest thing might be a shift in thinking about politics moralistically to more practical.

      It was probably too late for that 80 years ago. You're talking about overturning the results of multiple wars, and not just any wars, but the most bloody wars to ever exist in recorded history. And most people think they were good and just and needed. The black pill is too big.

    I may have moved on from libertarianism to the DR a few years ago now but I see the libertarians as the natural pool of talent that we in our circles should be recruiting from, they are the most intelligent normie political faction and the most truth oriented, they are receptive to critiques of the liberal and democratic priors. Also I have always like Dave Smith.

      Average libertarian is just another leftist, but quirky. Ofter pro-weed and for porn-focused "free speech". People of the Mises Caucus are not necessarily representative of that demographic.

    In my senior year of college, before I was commissioned in the US Army, my military history professor said something that really struck me. He said the US military's biggest challenge moving forward is that it is much more politically advantageous to lose a war than to win one. He told us that the US was going to lose in Iraq and Afghanistan not because it was beyond our military means to win, but because politicians would be able to win elections by saying it was impossible to win and would then have the power to enact legislation and policy that guarantees we can't win. Is prediction turned out to be completely correct but that's because he knew his history. The Vietnam War ended that way so it makes sense any future counterinsurgency war would end the same.

    @16:50 Since somewhere not long after June 16, 2015, I stopped believing in ANY benevolence among members of the Left, including "classical liberals". Donald Trump offered them everything that I have heard Libs nonstop tout that they stand for my entire life. They spat on his hand and in his face. It was a rude awakening for me to see Liberals revealed for who the fully are.

    Just because someone doesn't read tons of books, does not mean they are not intellectual. It DEFINITELY does NOT mean they are not highIQ. We over-emphasize "reading". If you stop to think smartly, you'd notice a lot of intellectually empty stuff has gotten published through the second half of the 20th century onwards.

    The articles of confederation didn’t stop the centralization of power. The constitution didn’t stop the centralization of power.
    Ideas and words themselves do not hold any state in being or abolish a state, but rather peoples loyalty to institutions and individuals. You have to offer people, especially powerful people, a better deal in terms of individuals and institutions to be loyal to, not simply tell them to not initiate violence and just trust that everything will work out. Delegitimize the state, promote your own rival castle.
