It's like his book forced him to examine, in laborious detail, himself and all of his ideas and he came out the other side as an adult in the truest sense. It's the same Cody as before but more polished and refined. I love it!
Big fan guys! Dash still has a focus on anonymity (privatesend) but has also branched out into new tech like instant transaction, decentralized scalability, solving the governance issues and usability problems.
Thank you, Tom! Another superb interview! I think the answer to your concern about "what do you do with the possibility that anyone, even an insane person, can produce anything?" is to live with that reality and deal with it. That situation is our future, and it may compel many people to work toward off-planet migration to protect themselves. What do you do when you are living in a crowded room with firearms and an unknown number of insane people? Do you attempt to control all the unknown insane people? Or do you try to escape? I think the ultimate answer is to escape.
Cody Wilson is one of those strong intellects that absolutely terrifies the state. They know they don’t have the resources to counter his reasoning and inventiveness and is therefore a direct threat to their power. I think a few years from now Cody will either be filthy rich and on top of the world or rotting in a prison. I sure do hope it is the former.
some of his reasoning i don't understand. he always says (and i'm paraphrasing) "we're not trying to be good and nice, we're trying to break the narrative". but would the reasoning be the same if (for argument's sake) everyone could 3d print a nuke in their house? would it reaaaaally be worthwhile to release that to the public, just to "break the narrative"? i get it, if technology ever does get to that point, it's just a matter of time till it gets released. but do you see what i'm saying?
btw i'm pro gun ownership and not comparing guns to nukes lol. just saying his reasoning never seems to be for the obvious reason of human liberty, he's always using .. "darker" sounding terms to describe why he does what he does.
I still haven't heard a good answer to replicating ammo from easily obtainable raw materials. he mentions "core components", but what does he mean by that?
A criminal can build a gun with pipes purchased at the local hardware store. It's a stupid "argument" that they need to limit the ease of construction of a self defense tool.
What is funny. You don't need a 3d printer to make a cheap gun. There are examples of people making guns from off the shelf parts from Home Depot. My wealth if experience with 3d printing. At this point. 3D printed guns are not practical thanks to them being plastic. Fire it 5 times at the most and then print another one that takes many hours to come out. I am more excited about he concept of a metal 3d printer making it to the market that does not cost 2 million or more a pop.
Cody Wilson is one of my favorite people to listen to.
Even just the timbre of his voice is amazing.
Cody is one of my favorites to listen to. He is a seriously sharp cookie and a worthy credit to humanity. Thanks for the interview Tom.
Cody is indeed a very impressive young man. The future will need people like him.

I like this topic because no one talks about it, thanks Tom!

I love this guy. Freedom, Freedom, Freedom.
Cody is an absolute good.

With due respect, good luck 3d printing plutonium.
Listening to this interview I couldn't help but think of John Galt.

The impassioned and articulate Cody Wilson is the Jerry Rubin of the Second Amendment. Yippie!

Is Tom Woods a gun guy? Libertarians tend to also be 2nd Amendment people but I don't hear him talk much about it.
Simon Aguilar Tom Woods is a freedom guy
great article. As far as crypto coins, I'm liking gridcoin.
