Chapter 4 – Radical Unschooling
Table of ContentsPrevious – Chapter 3, Schooling Chapter 4 – Radical Unschooling As shown in the previous chapter, schooling is an extremely poor practice for building a culture of liberty.

Rentseeking a la Migrational Purity
Nobody asked but … Let me get this straight. We like paying taxes, we just want to control which rathole the money goes down? We don’t want illegals to get any of the spillage from our graft and corruption system. We want to improve the efficiency of the graft system by insisting that the government…
On Hierarchy
Hierarchy is an unfortunate misnomer. Etymologically, hier means “sacred” and archy means “ruler”, giving us “sacred ruler” as the etymological definition of hierarchy.

Voluntaryism
Nobody asked but … Actually, many people do ask, “You call yourself a voluntaryist, so what does that mean?” Good question, and the answer bears repeating! All human interactions should be voluntary — I will take no actions that I do not do willingly, nor will I coerce another to take such actions unwillingly. The…
