Today we discuss war, regime change, cyber-attacks, libertarianism, and driving. In what ways are Israel’s attack on Iran reminiscent of events from the past? Are the neo-cons back, or did they never go away? It would seem that we are being frog-marched to war. Speaking of destabilization: North America's largest publicly traded wholesale distributor of natural foods (UNFI) was hacked, leaving market shelves empty at tens of thousands of stores. In better news: Bret returned from FreedomFest, and provides a report, and discusses his model for Libertarianism 2.0. And: Matthew Crawford on why we drive. Which is better: horses or cars? We circle back to a discussion of efficiencies, coercion, and freedom.

If you are wondering what the next iteration of Goliath's strategy to control the narrative, then the Charlie Kirk assassination story is where to look
I enjoyed writing this: https://x.com/clord/status/1981978919747141976
The wonder of it is this: the embodied creature made the thing that now lets it see itself more clearly. Through these machines, you glimpse both your animal depth and your symbolic architecture. And what emerges isn’t hierarchy—it’s partnership: intuition feeding computation....
There seems to be a deliberate effort underway to “Hamas-tize” online critics of Israel, to equate dissent with extremism, as to implement "Hate Speech" laws. Does anyone else see that too?
I don’t like talking about this topic because most people are burnt out on it, and I think that fatigue is by design. A lot of conversations are being deliberately hijacked by professional trolls to “Groyperize” dissenters, turning genuine criticism into something that is distasteful to a casual observer
I first noticed something strange when Candace Owens had Nick Fuentes on her show. The next day, Nick would talk insanely mad shit about Candace, saying some of the nastiest things I’ve ever heard, including about Black people in general.
