Green Energy Gone Wrong, AI Regulation & Fear Mongering: How Authoritarianism Threatens Our Freedom

Libertarian Counterpoint

In this episode, hosts James Just and Jason McPhee discuss the main topic of authoritarianism at home, and how it affects various aspects of life and liberty. They examine the following issues: The environmental and economic costs of renewable green energy, and how the Global Citizen Festival in Central Park caused massive damage to the public space. The implications of Biden’s executive order that requires AI companies to share their safety test results with the government, and how it could stifle innovation and privacy. The role of fear in shaping public opinion and policy, and how it is exploited by the media and politicians. The injustice of civil asset forfeiture, and how the Supreme Court justices expressed their dismay at the long delays in returning seized cars to innocent owners. The state of mental health care in Montana, and how the psychiatric hospital is poorly run and neglect has hastened patient deaths, according to a lawsuit. Join James and Jason as they explore these topics and more, and offer their libertarian perspective on how to counter the authoritarian tendencies of the government and society.
