Blackbird with James Jenneman

WTF Crypto?? with PavelPavel is back to talk about crypto! Why is everything so cheap right now? What's around the corner? Is he still trading? And what the hell is a privacy coin? Plus, we talk about his new apartment and his workout routine because, hey, why not?NOTE: This episode was recorded on Saturday, June 4, 2022.

BB87: A Stoic Approach with Jonathan ChurchI'm traveling the next few weeks, so the Sunday Stream is pre-recorded. For this week's episode I chatted with economist, author, cancer survivor, cultural commentator, and practitioner of Stoicism, Jonathan Church.We hit on the following topics:The current state of the economy and particularly inflation (Trigger warning: He's not an Austrian economist and gives some ritually impure answers.

I usually avoid current events on Blackbird. But with the US government's media back in the business of selling foreign intervention and, possibly, war, I wanted to get my folks a quick crash course on what's happening. So today I'm interviewing the great libertarian foreign policy commentator Kyle Anzalone to fill us in on Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the precipitating causes, and why pre-sundown Joe Biden is in large part responsible for it.

Thinking Right with Sam JacobsSam Jacobs entered my radar when he appeared on Free Man Beyond the Wall The Pete Quinones Show recently. His takes are unconventional and refreshing.

Going Trad with Popular LibertyAndrew (aka Popular Liberty) returns to the show to talk more about his political framework and why he thinks it’s the best path to liberty. Of course, he’s talked about that on every podcast this side of the Tom Woods show, so I wanted to dig a little deeper into his cultural and even religious views.

69. Heh. (Solo Episode)Solo episode coming atcha! It’s a relatively short episode. I’m taking a few weeks off podcasting to work on a few side projects I’ve got going on, including my own web development business and a great clearinghouse for freedom-oriented businesses called Liberty Creators. I’ll be sure to promote them both heavily when they’re ready for primetime.I also talk about my travels to Austin for Renegade University Weekend and to Orlando for Tom Woods’s 2000th episode event. There’s some meandering stuff about kindness vs. niceness, a step in my ideological journey (see book recommendation below), and mass hypnosis (see article link below) and why I think there’s reason for optimism on the healthcare state.Finally, I’m going to be posting to Odysee from now on.

Praying Silently with Rich LewisAs we transition from a material age to a more esoteric, spiritual age, ancient practices are being dug up and revived. Today’s guest, Rich Lewis, is a practitioner of centering prayer, also known as contemplative prayer or silent prayer, which has been practiced by monks for millennia. It’s not entirely dissimilar to certain types of Buddhist meditation. In this conversation, we talk about the what, how, and why of centering prayer.Rich LinksVisit Rich’s website for more information on his work and contemplative prayerBuy Rich’s book, Sitting with God: A Journey to Your True Self Through Centering PrayerCheck out Contemplative Outreach for even more informationSupport the ShowIf you’re getting value out of Blackbird, I’d love your financial support.

The Scourge of Bullsh!t Jobs with Adam WinfieldI’ve had lots of jobs, most of which had words like “consultant” and “coordinator” and “specialist” in the title. Was I actually doing anything useful, or was I just taking up space — another paper-pusher, trading my hours for my employer’s dollars without much concern for actual production or productivity? I like to hope at least some of my jobs were legitimate, productive, and adding to the economy somehow. After all, I’ve supported the efforts of hair stylists, retail salespeople, auto mechanics, and hospitality workers. But was I really…producing? It’s very possible I’ve spent my entire adult life in what today’s guest calls b******t jobs. Let’s dig into it.Adam LinksRead Adam’s article, “B******t Job?

Loving Yourself with Sarah ThompsonI’ve been running around in the same circles as Sarah Thompson for years. We’re both members of the Tom Woods Elite (which you should also join). But we haven’t really interacted much. A while back I asked a few of my social networks what advice they’d give a 24-year-old young adult if he was eager to lower his time preference, get motivated to live a productive life, and succeed. You can imagine what most people said. Sarah’s advice was unique, though: Love yourself.I had to talk to her.

Political Realism with Popular LibertyA few weeks ago I gave you a little homework assignment: Become passingly familiar with the Archotropism framework developed by Andrew from the YouTube channel Popular Liberty. Read this if you haven’t already. It’ll help you better understand what we’re talking about here. Poppy Libs has appeared on a ton of podcasts laying out his framework, which is always evolving and being added to. You’d do well to listen to his appearances on Pete Q’s show to get a full run-down. They’re linked below.As is my practice, I tried to dig in a little deeper than his standard fare. This is extreme libertarian nerdery. There’s one more of those coming up, and then we’re going to be switching gears into personal development, wellness, and entrepreneurship for a few episodes.Popular Liberty LinksSubscribe to Popular Liberty on YouTubeFollow Poppy Libs and Mises GOP on TwitterCheck out Andrew’s appearances on Pete Q’s show: First | SecondSponsorIf you love playing fantasy football, or you’re hopeless at it like me, I’ve found you the perfect resource to help with your research: Football Insider Edge.Whether you are a season long player, focused on DraftKings or FanDuel contests, or just like to make the occasional wager, Football Insider Edge provides you with research tools and in-depth analysis to take your game to the next level.Join the FIE team at www.footballinsideredge.com and be sure to use offer code BLACKBIRD at checkout to get 20% off your membership!Follow MeBe sure you’re following me on Twitter.If you watch the show on YouTube, switch to Odyssee.

Resisting the Murder Cult with Shane HazelShane Hazel hosts Radical podcast and he’s a Marine veteran. But he’s best known as the spoiler of the Georgia Senate race. Yep, he’s the reason Kamala’s breaking ties right now. You’re welcome.I wanted to talk to Shane about his “Murder Cult” conception of the state. It’s pretty obvious governments from the feds all the way down to your local public transit security force have no regard for human life.

Debunking Conspiracy Theories with Keith KnightKeith Knight hosts the delightfully nerdy show Don’t Tread on Anyone. He’s always a joy to listen to, and, as I’ve come to find out, a joy to talk with! He recently did a video “debunking” a bunch of real conspiracy theories. Big surprise, the conspiracy theories he debunks are commonly-accepted conventional wisdom. If you think the Branch Davidians at Waco committed mass suicide, the US government considers Al Qaeda its enemy, “Net Neutrality” would make the internet more equitable, or Donald Trump had a quid pro quo relationship with Ukraine, or any number of other crazy beliefs, prepare to be debunked!Keith LinksSubscribe to Keith’s Odysee channel and watch the video we’re discussing in this interviewHere’s another video discussed in the interview, where Keith discusses Michael Heumer’s book Knowledge, Reality, and Value: A Mostly Common Sense Guide to Philosophy.

Biblical Anarchy and Libertarian Nerdery with Jacob WinogradJacob and I hung out in Pittsburgh recently and had pretty good conversations. He’s the host of a podcast called Daniel 3: Biblical Anarchy, so naturally I wanted to hear all about his faith and political beliefs and how they play together. We also get into some pretty hardcore first principles libertarian rights theory stuff and, my current favorite subject following my conversation with David Gornoski, scapegoating. Mostly we’re just new friends getting to know each other better. I look forward to our future conversations.You’ll notice my half of the interview was a little echoey. I neglected to switch over from the internal laptop mic to my external podcasting mic. I’ll wear sackcloth and ashes as penance.

Creating Liberty with Matt Erickson and LB MuñizYou remember LB’s recent appearance on the show, right? We talked a little bit about Matt Erickson’s appearance on Liberty Lockdown. In case you missed it, here’s a recap: Matt, critical of political solutions to problems libertarians focus on, said something along the lines of, if you hate taxes, what you really hate is not having as much money as you otherwise could have. So the solution isn’t to shout “Taxation is theft” into the void. It’s to make enough money that taxes are irrelevant. I think that’s a fair summary.LB kinda liked that take. I kinda didn’t. Matt thought we should expand on it. After a really fruitful internal discussion on Twitter, we decided to take it public. What you’re about to hear is the result. It’s an awesome conversation, and I eagerly look forward to collaborating with these two again very soon.I think this is the most important thing in the whole episode, and it’s really simple: Liberty isn’t something you ask for. It’s something you create.Matt LinksSubscribe to Kingpilled.Follow Matt on Twitter.LB LinksYou’re obviously already subscribed to Been Awake after all my urging.Follow LB on Twitter.Don’t be left out!RU TexasWant to hang out with me, Thad Russell, Buck Johnson, Scott Horton, Cody Wilson, Hotep Jesus, Deirdre McCloskey, and Jack the Perfume Nationalist? Come to Austin in October for RU Texas.

Taking the Tech Pill with CPUGODAndrew Grathwohl, aka CPUGOD, is a musician and software engineer in NYC. I first heard him on Robbie Bernstein’s show talking about the fascistic relationship between big tech and the state. I wanted to dig in on the Qanon psy-op and how the government uses divisive propaganda on both sides of the cultural and political divide to prey on the gullible. But then I found out CPUGOD’s talents and interests go much deeper and broader than all that! He’s created software to provide accompaniment to talented musicians to make pretty chaotic, avant-garde music. There’s a clip of one of his pieces after the interview.CPUGOD is also extremely optimistic about the future. That refreshing take is entirely powered by software. According to CPUGOD, blockchain and other decentralized technology is going to make the oligarchy essentially irrelevant to anyone who wants it to be. Paired with entrepreneurial activity and investment, these technologies can bring about the freedom we seek without even needing to dissolve the mechanisms of control that others think they need.CPUGOD LinksHomepage and TwitterCheck out Storyboard, a platform for private podcastsSonic Multiplicities, CPUGOD’s musical projectBrian Eno’s Music for Airports was mentioned in the interview, so here’s a linkLearn about IPFS.

Reading History with CJ KillmerCJ Killmer is a history professor and the host of the best history podcast in our space. People refer to journalism as the first draft of history. We all know the history books are generally pretty unreliable. Historians (like journalists) come at their craft with all their biases, angles, agendas, ideologies, and ingrained beliefs. CJ is great at reading through these blinders. He’s also great at reading history without the blinders that come with being an ideological libertarian in the lineage of Rothbard. And that’s a unique quality in this space. I wanted to learn about his techniques for discerning reality from spin both in reading in history and in reading journalism.CJ LinksSubscribe to Dangerous History.Support CJ’s Patreon.Follow CJ on Twitter.Recommended Reading/ListeningWe talked about a few books and an episode of Dangerous History that you should consume.CJ’s episode Honest History, about how properly to do historyEmancipating Slaves and Enslaving Free Men, by Jeffrey HummelA Renegade History of the United States, by Thaddeus RussellA People’s History of the United States, by Howard ZinnDon’t be left out!RU TexasWant to hang out with me, Thad Russell, Buck Johnson, Scott Horton, Cody Wilson, Hotep Jesus, Deirdre McCloskey, and Jack the Perfume Nationalist? Come to Austin in October for RU Texas.
