    Challenging And Defending Liberty: Do Libertarians Sound Like Leftists On Foreign Policy | Hn 231

    Adam Haman and Bob Murphy introduce a new kind of topic for their (now) famous crossover episodes. It's called "Challenging and Defending Liberty", and Bob has a doozy of a challenge! Leftists talk about crime (and serial killers in this case) in a certain kind of way that is very unpalatable to "normie" conservatives. Do our leading libertarian voices come off the same way when discussing foreign policy? Bob throws down the gauntlet and Adam answers the call!00:00 — Introducing Challenging and Defending Liberty (with sick guitar riff)!00:58 — Bob lays down his challenge: Do libertarians come off as lefties re foreign policy? 05:00 — Clip 1: The way we think about serial killers is "copaganda". Corollary: how much does the way a person looks and acts alter they way their arguments are perceived?09:16 — Clip 2: Cops are bad and we need to stop "dehumanizing" serial killers. Corollary: Are "we" just apologizing for evil behavior when we discuss foreign policy?19:12 — Clip 3: Society creates serial killers because of bad governance It's "our" fault as much as theirs. Corollary: Libertarians are just apologists for evil and engage in moral relativism, just like lefties. 27:32 — Clip 4: The media glamorizes dull and broken people for its own purposes. Corollary: libertarians say the "war party" plays up foreign policy dangers for their own purposes.35:54 — Adam gives his defense of "Liberty" against Bob's "Challenge". It's brilliant, of course.50:06 — Bob gives his response. How did Adam do with this challenge?58:06 — Outro. Thanks for watching Haman Nature!

Jacob's prologue and Adam introduces himself to Jacob's audience.06:32 — Jacob is a great mediator of libertarian infighting.10:34 — Culture and politics are both important. Libertarianism alone isn't enough. What is the relationship between liberty and order?24:00 — Some of the things the state does are necessary. How should libertarians think about this? How do we not let the perfect be the enemy of the good?39:35 — Who is myopic about 2nd and 3rd order consequences, libertarians or statists? Also, libertarians should be good neighbors.49:08 — Adam admits to hypocrisy. Also, don't aim to win the little game. Aim to win the meta-game.58:11 — Adam kisses Darryl's ass, but thinks Darryl is too hard on his former "comparative religion analyst" self. What does Adam think of Christianity? What is it good for? What's an appropriate epistemology for man? 1:31:55 — Adam asks to be talked down from a horrific political vision he's worried about.1:39:33 — Outro. Thanks for watching Haman Nature!

    Darryl Cooper Doesn't Understand Libertarians - Adam and Bob Respond | Hn 229

    On this crossover episode, Adam Haman and the great Bob Murphy discuss a fascinating conversation between Jacob Winograd and Darryl Cooper on the Biblical Anarchy Podcast (linked below). It's a conversation well worth listening too, but Adam and Bob take issue with how libertarianism was (mis)characterized. Why do so many people misunderstand what libertarian is?00:00 — Intro. Adam pretends he doesn't know what the topic is for this week. Weird.02:41 — Adam makes a heretical admission, and we play Clip 1: Darryl Cooper on sins of epistemology and pride in relation to comparative religion analysis. Adam rebuts.08:35 — Bob responds to Adam's critique of Darryl. 21:59 — Clip 2: Darryl's criticisms of libertarianism. Bob gives his take. 32:26 — Adam critiques Darryl's presentation of libertarianism -- a lot. Bob responds.39:20 — Clip 3: Darryl says you can't have liberty w/o order. Adam and Bob say that's backwards.52:04 — What does economist Art Laffer have to do with all this? Also, Darryl gives another example of government power that he supports.1:07:00 — Outro.

Also, how much will UBI actually cost? Is there a way to tweak it to make sense?
