Peaceful Anarchism 006 is an interview of Shane Buell by Danilo Cuellar. The conversation covers all bases, from Shane’s journey to voluntaryism to agorism to psychology and spirituality.

Grow Beyond the Space You Occupy
The great trap you must avoid is allowing the world to direct your curiosity onto things you have no care for.

We reasonably understand that their evolutionary drive provides them with purpose and that merely giving them the ends of so many of their goals make them weak and depressed.

Today I deleted several apps from my phone: Twitter, Reddit, Feedly, Snapchat, the N.Y. Times app, and more. I’m letting go of distractions, or at least learning to. In fact, I made a list of things I’m letting go of.
