Voluntucky is about Voluntaryism in Kentucky (obviously). But it digs much deeper than the philosophies heard on other podcasts. We seek to put boots on the ground – literally. YOUR boots – on Pulaski County, KY dirt to create the real world Voluntaryist society we all know is possible. In Voluntucky we will go beyond theory and begin putting plans into action just like some other radical individualists did 243 years ago, except we will learn the mistakes of history and employ impenetrable f ...

Creating a Voluntaryist world requires us to create friendships and bonds with other Voluntaryists. Yet it's easy to be so fed up with "people" that we can have little or no desire to put in the effort. Today I'll talk about creating the environment from which most all friendships emerge, even Voluntaryist ones.--- Send in a voice message: https://…

You never fully understand any concept or skill until you are able to forget everything you already know about it and reconsider it with new eyes. How else would we ever know when we're wrong? Life is too short to go around with mustard on your chin, even if having mustard on your chin is the norm.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spo…

What factors determine whether your actions are offensive or defensive? Aggression is always seen as self-defense when your team does it. But is it really? If you have all the tools you would need at your disposal to make self-defense easy, can you really say that a preemptive attack is necessary? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spo…

Wishing for Voluntaryism to become normal and accepted isn't going to change anything. If you don't want to loose your mind waiting for the world to fix itself, you need to find or create those microcosms where things are already as they are supposed to be. And it all starts with just showing up.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spoti…

There is a huge difference between a Legal system and a Justice system. Why will the Voluntucky Justice system work? Because it involves the required checks and balances needed to have a just system that are absent from the State Legal system.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevoluntuckypodcast/message…

In order to do what I do, you gotta be Real comfy in confrontational situations. But not everyone is. And that's okay... for now. But avoiding the State and depending on loopholes within the system is a guarantee of large-scale future confrontation. It's what we've been doing our whole lives only to repeat the pattern of one step forward, and three…

We instinctively try to categorize any group of individuals we see. Is it a government? A cult? A mob? A religion? A business? Do we make up a whole new term for it? Can a group that is generally one thing have some of the characteristics of another and still remain that thing? Check out today's show for a clear explanation of exactly what The Volu…

When standing up for principles is punished, right action often brings pain. But nothing about that changes until some people are willing to do it anyway. As long as the world incentivizes immoral behavior, it will run rampant. If you want to change the world, change the incentive package. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com…

In this "cross-cast" episode, Shawn Sanders and I talk a lot about the defense mechanisms within The Project, modern technological capabilities that make Voluntaryist communities much more possible than they've ever been, and the sometimes overwhelming temptations to shelve the NAP for the sake of the NAP. --- Send in a voice message: https://podca…

Thanks to listener input, the first change has been made to Membership requirements, and a design flaw that could have hindered Project Goals significantly in the future now has a very solid firewall. And I'll let you decide if further changes need to be implemented. And when, exactly will the Charter and Membership documents be closed to change so…

Probably should have done this show before episode 12. Before any Voluntaryist community can be started, a certain number of obstacles will need to be identified. Then we can figure out how to best get over, under, around or through those obstacles. And in a free market, the best ideas will prosper most. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcast…

The U.S. is an experiment that has failed but people will still continue to use it until something better is created. And then that thing, be it Voluntucky or some other idea, must be tested against others. If it fails, then it should fail. And multiple experimental communities happening at the same time will be the only way to find the best option…

Simply put, agreement on property rights guarantees that we all get along. Disagreement means Any society is destined to fail. In this show, I will explain the central idea that any Voluntucky Community Member will need to agree with.

Involuntary government has no business doing 95% of what they do. So all we have to do is figure out how to do the 5% that needs to be done by someone. Episode 8 covers 95% of that remaining 5%. This episode covers the other 5% of the 5%. And then we're done. talking about governance for a while and will focus on freedom. You know - the opposite of…

Maybe I should have called this show 'How To Make Lemonade'. Before involuntary government will ever go away, we must already be doing for ourselves those few things they do that do need to be done. In this show I talk about how doing that let's us use the faulty paradigms that they perpetuate against them. --- Send in a voice message: https://podc…

Have you grown accustomed to government doing certain things for you? Are you prepared to accept the added responsibility that comes with added freedom?

How does Anyone come to the conclusion that involuntary authority is a crock of shit? Generally it's through a long series of events in one's life. So here is as short a draft of my personal story as I could come up with. And A LOT is left out! Somehow I completed this entire show without remembering having been wrongfully accused, arrested and CON…

This show will be a bit like marching into battle, we're not all going to be here in the end. While we all agree that all human interaction must be Voluntary to be moral, we sometimes disagree on the details of what that means in the real world. This show will outline how individuals who want to be Voluntucky Community Members will view the Non-Agg…

The world runs on incentives. It runs better on positive incentives (I'll give you this if you give me that) than it does on negative incentives (Give me that or I'll hurt you and take it anyway).
