In interesting times like these, the world needs anarchy more than ever before.
Larken Rose, an internationally known author and speaker in the freedom movement, joins me for an animated discussion of the current state of affairs.
This interview focuses on
- The true meaning of anarchy
- Voluntaryism and nonaggression principle: the antidotes to the belief in authority a.k.a. government
- The belief in authority and its destructive effects
- Legality vs. morality
- Why it’s easier to convey the message of truth in fiction than in nonfiction
- Why there are far fewer freedom-minded creative types in the publishing industry than in the music industry
- Inherent narcissism and psychopathy in government and the striking similarities between government and abusive intimate relationships, especially narcissistic abuse in relationships, writ large in the current p(l)andemic
- The real pandemic: domestic violence, child abuse, suicide, job losses, and chaos through the myth of authority
- Why the p(l)andemic is a great opportunity for awakening
- Becoming more compassionate, intelligent, and creative by letting go of the belief in authority
- Reclaiming your power, taking personal responsibility, speaking up against tyranny, and standing up for truth and freedom

The Most Dangerous Superstition
If I choose to defer to some politicians or defer to some church or defer to whatever instead of using my own heart and mind, I am betraying my own self and betraying what’s right and wrong and just saying I’m not going to take on the responsibility to decide what I should do. I’ll let somebody else decide for me, and to me, that is the ultimate sin. There is chaos and mayhem when everybody defers to an authority to tell them what to do. That’s when you get genocides, and that’s when you get wars. And that’s when you get huge examples of oppression. So the idea that there’s something virtuous about giving away your conscience and deferring to somebody else’s is the most insane, evil notion that has ever plagued humanity.
