    TARRIF TAXES, EXCEPT CANADA! (ep 349)

    Before the invention of the IRS our country depended on tariffs to fund the government. And it kind of worked, without punishing trade too much. But the Ron Paul Liberty Report recently quoted the Wall Street Journal, pointing out that tariffs are basically paid for by consuming tax payers.  In other words it is a way to tax the population without passing new tax legislation! Also, Canada is objecting to tariffs being used to bully them into compliance with unrelated issues. Has old age caught up with Trump?

    Reasons Socialism can Never Work (ep 348)

    Pure Socialism can never work properly in human relationships because it violates to basic principles of human nature. First of all, it confuses who gets reinforced for what and by whom. Secondly, it locates power away from the individual and puts it in the hands of a third-party. Prosperous arrangements of humans dictate that these two principles must be honored. Socialism distorts these conditions and leads to lower productivity and innovation. We discuss these ideas and talk about differences between capitalism and socialism.

    Are We Socialists Yet? (ep 347)

    The Milton Freeman interview by Phil Donahue may reveal the best brief distinction between free market and socialist systems. But first, are we so far along that we are now a socialist country? No, if you can believe the rankings in the index of economic freedom. But we certainly have plenty of items to clean up. These include the military and medical complexes.

    The Importance of Understanding Fanaticism (ep 346)

    What happens when political beliefs become more than ideas—and turn into fanaticism?In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, we explore the psychology of fanaticism and why understanding it is essential for anyone trying to make sense of political conflict. We examine the forces that can drive individuals into crowds, tribes, and ideological movements, and how emotional attachment to political beliefs can shape perception, behavior, and judgment.For Libertarians, understanding fanaticism can provide valuable insight into political disputes and the psychological pathology that can develop within crowds. Rather than simply dismissing political opponents, understanding the psychology behind fanaticism may help explain why people become deeply committed to ideologies and why political disagreements can become so intense and irrational.We discuss crowd psychology, tribalism, ideological identity, political extremism, groupthink, and the importance of maintaining individual thought in the face of collective pressure.Topics include:The psychology of fanaticismCrowd psychology and political movementsTribalism and ideological identityGroupthink and conformityPolitical disputes and emotional reasoningWhy people become attached to political ideologiesUnderstanding the pathology behind the crowdWhy Libertarians should study fanaticismListen, think critically, and join the conversation about the psychology behind political conflict.

    When Should We Forgive? (ep 345)

    A priest will often award forgiveness after a confession, repentance, and restitution. This is an important triple concept even outside of religion, and it is not discussed enough. The philosophy applies to individuals, groups, businesses, and even government authorities guarding the marketplace.

    Why Most Group Decisions Are Wrong | Groupthink, Psychology & Libertarianism (ep 344)

    Why do groups so often make bad decisions, even when they are filled with intelligent people?In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, we explore the psychology behind poor group decision-making. From groupthink and conformity to social pressure, authority bias, and the suppression of dissent, we discuss why crowds frequently arrive at conclusions that individuals might reject on their own.Drawing from psychology, economics, history, and libertarian philosophy, we examine how decentralized thinking, open debate, and individual responsibility can produce better outcomes than centralized consensus. We also look at real-world examples where group decisions led to costly mistakes and discuss how independent thinking can help prevent them.Topics include: • Groupthink and conformity • The Asch conformity experiments • Authority bias and obedience • Cognitive diversity • The wisdom—and limits—of crowds • Decentralized decision-making • Libertarian philosophy and individual responsibility • Historical examples of failed consensus • Critical thinking and skepticism Do groups really make better decisions, or does consensus often suppress the truth? Join the conversation and share your thoughts.Follow Libertarians Talk Psychology for more discussions on psychology, philosophy, politics, and human behavior.

    What are the Most Socialist Countries? (ep 343)

    Given a definition of socialism, the goal seems to be equity, but the popular dialogue seems to be fairness and affordability. The index of economic freedom seems to show the general population is best in the most free marketplace, for both the richest and for the poorest. This means neglecting the gap between the richest and the poorest. Dave Smith emphasizes the bloody price that often goes along with communism and socialism. Milton Friedman promotes the basic necessary functions of any government. The index of economic freedom rates various countries upon freedom. This is a pretty good view of which countries are the most socialist. Plus it looks obvious that freedom highly correlates with the quality of life for the entire population.
