    There’s no good way to preface this video. An off the cuff 2 hours that covers everything from Poland, to Spain, to libertarianism, to history, to political policy, to culture. Oh, and scrambled eggs (all methods). It’s a one-off and unique, on many levels.

    DISCUSSIONS 2: BRANDON HAYES & JOEL DAVIS – IDEOLOGY, LIMITS, AGENCY, LIBERTARIAN, AND PROPERTARIAN

    Rough Outline (which we don’t really follow all that closely….damn): Dog training How we frame single issues (macro ‘world views’ to micro ‘opinions on a single topic’) Framing things (all the way along the macro-micro spectrum) as something with both uses, and limits Spend more time considering the limits of your preferred biases, and more time considering the uses of your dislikes. Examples: Macro a) Transcending ideological frames b) the postmodern problemization of meaning Micro a) things considered as having perils (limits) and necessity (uses) i) cynicism ii) feeling closer to those who share our values iii) feeling closer to those who share our opinions Libertarian thought as a frame and limitations (and uses) of it Propertarianism as a frame and limitations (and uses) of it

    - Truth vs. honesty; the yardstick for an opinion is honesty, not truth Integrating limitations (first: test them, then accept them, then integrate them) - Frames for success given IQ, conscientiousness, and neuroticism limitations - active listening; - life as training one’s conscience; - honing mastery; - avoid pitfalls such as seeing everything through one frame (ideology) or falling into nihilism; - step back from current affairs and see them as both news, and ideological battlegrounds; - trusting people in a more sophisticated manner; - A final frame for success as bringing people together….suggest idea of a conference in Portugal.

    Anthony Johnson and I go way back. He’s the creator of 21 Studios at the age of 17. In conjunction, he has been running 21 Convention conferences for 11 years, now. I’ve been a speaker at three of them. Something serendipitous happened. I have lots of acquaintances on the Internet, some more special to me than others and it happened that one day, one of them—who identifies as female because she’s female—wrote something on Facebook that I found inspiring. And then I made a silly hat and sent it to her. And Anthony ran with it.
