In this episode, David and Stratty dive deep into David's recent paper, "Statism's Catch-22: An Austro-Libertarian Analysis of 'Self-Determination of Peoples' under International Law." This paper makes the case that the international law doctrine of self-determination has internal contradictions which place the international system in a catch-22 dilemma. This dilemma lays groundwork for the wholesale delegitimization of statism. You don't want to miss this one!

We were joined in this episode by Derek and Kyle from Burning Boots to help them train their big brain muscles. We did things a little differently this episode with our first truly free-form conversation, discussing a spate of interesting big brain topics, all with a dash of Burning Boots' signature juvenile humor. At one point, David almost finds Derek to be in contempt of court, and Kyle almost kills himself with a hot pepper. Most interestingly, we learn that J.S. Mill is in Derek's opinion the greatest philosopher of all time. You can find Derek and Kyle and Burning Boots on Twitter @derekisnotgay, @kyle_kobra, and @burningbootspod.
