In recent discussions on social media concerning my blog, and my writing in general, several people urged me to start throwing stuff up on my blog to sell (such as ebooks, little guides, and the like)[...]

To me, the reason socialism always fails is quite simple: Socialism doesn’t account for human nature. It should be easy for people to understand that when you seize a portion of what productive [...]

I recently cringed my way through an article entitled Sorry Libertarian Anarchists, Capitalism Requires Government, written by Harry Binswanger, a member of the board of directors of the Ayn Rand Inst[...]

Though I’ve generally extracted myself from the state/stateless debate—from the fatiguing effort to educate and persuade, from the largely futile mission of winning hearts and minds and effectin[...]

Recently, I read an article entitled Why So Many Millennials Are Socialists by By Emily Ekins and Joy Pullmann, published over at The Cato Institute. Though the article focuses on the perplexing suppo[...]

Another quick thought: One of the most important things I’ve learned to distinguish—and, unfortunately, only recently in my life—is the fine, nearly imperceptible difference between pleasure and[...]

Upon viewing a sizable portion of my Facebook posts, as well as many of my articles published here on my blog and around the web, I would imagine that many would conclude that I’m simply anti-go[...]

Recently, a female friend of mine shared the following meme on Facebook: According to the commentary she included when she shared it, she disagreed: “Um…no. How about I love and respect my[...]

I continue to watch in amazement as so many in the liberty community incessantly attack one another. I find it rather perplexing; we’re supposed to be promoting liberty, and attacking a tyrannic[...]

Today, I’ve something stuck in my craw, and I need to vent (I know, shock!): I don’t know if Dr. Wayne Dyer originated it, but he famously quoted: “When you have the choice between b[...]

I recently posted the following on Facebook: “I wonder: if we called capitalism “incentivism”, and socialism “disincentivism”, would it be easier for everyone to understa[...]

Note: The following essay was written by Mark Twain sometime around 1896 – 1897 (both dates are listed by various sources online); and according to the Mark Twain Project, all of Twain’s w[...]

Over the past few months, I’ve found that’s it’s become increasingly difficult—if not downright impossible—to engage in political or sociological discussions and/or debates on social[...]

I’m beginning to believe that things are about to get really ugly, all around the world. Why? Because throughout history, collectivism has proven to be highly destructive to humanity, to civil s[...]

I’ve got something stuck in my craw, and I need to vent a little: I’m getting sick and tired of people accusing Voluntaryists of “not providing any answers or solutions, just talking[...]

When circumstances change in our life (which is inevitable), and therefore conflict arises, we can deal with it in essentially one of three ways: Ignore The Change One way (and perhaps the most common[...]

I continue to be amazed at how easily people stray into the fallacy of collectivist thinking. They may be spot on about free-market capitalism, and they may actively promote liberty, which is good—but[...]

Suddenly I’m being approached by people to join, or buy into, the MLM business they’re involved in. This is a relatively new experience for me—just started a year or so ago—and I don’[...]
