Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 463. A followup discussion with André Simoni of Brazil about some questions he had about applying my/Rothbard's title-transfer. See also KOL457 | Sheldon Richman & IP; Andre from Brazil re Contract Theory, Student Loan Interest Payments, Bankruptcy, Vagueness, Usury. Grok Shownotes: 0:00–29:42] In this episode of the Kinsella on Liberty podcast (KOL463), Stephan Kinsella engages in a follow-up discussion with André Simoni from Brazil, building on their prior conversation with Sheldon Richman (KOL457). The dialogue begins with André revisiting his concerns about usury, fractional-reserve banking, and the nature of loan contracts, proposing a libertarian limit on interest rates to prevent exploitative lending practices that could lead to effective enslavement. He argues that modern financial systems, including fractional-reserve banking and fiat currency, are interconnected mechanisms designed to promote unsustainable economic activity, drawing insights from Doug French's book Walk Away. Kinsella challenges André's framing, particularly his view of loan contracts as bilateral exchanges, asserting instead that they are unilateral title transfers under Rothbard's title-transfer theory of contract. The discussion delves into the impracticality of “smart contracts” and escrow-based performance bonds, highlighting the inherent uncertainties in contractual damages and future obligations. [29:43–1:39:34] The conversation shifts to a deeper exploration of risk, inalienability, and the moral hazards embedded in modern banking systems. André connects usury and fractional-reserve banking, arguing that banks exploit depositors and borrowers by offloading risk while profiting as intermediaries, creating a system akin to a Ponzi scheme propped up by state interventions like deposit insurance. Kinsella agrees that the current system is corrupt but emphasizes that in a free market with full disclosure, such practices would be unsustainable due to economic realities and the inability to insure against systemic risks. They discuss the legitimacy of loan contracts, with André expressing concern about contracts that shift excessive risk to borrowers, potentially violating inalienability principles. The episode concludes with a discussion on corporations and limited liability, with André suggesting that corporate structures exacerbate risk-shifting, while Kinsella defends the contractual basis of corporations, referencing his prior discussions with Jeff Barr (KOL414, KOL418). Links to further resources and a promise to continue the dialogue are provided.   Youtube Transcript and Detailed Grok Summary below. https://youtu.be/8AfTdeiDJD0 Links: Mercadente, The Illiberal Nature of Limited Liability: A Libertarian Critique Recent Grok conversation Libertarian Answer Man: Legal Entities and Corporations in a Free Society (Feb. 29, 2024) Libertarian Answer Man: Corporations, Trusts, HOAs, and Private Law Codes in a Private Law Society (Nov. 11, 2023) KOL414 | Corporations, Limited Liability, and the Title Transfer Theory of Contract, with Jeff Barr: Part I KOL418 | Corporations, Limited Liability, and the Title Transfer Theory of Contract, with Jeff Barr: Part II On Coinbase, Bitcoin, Fractional-Reserve Banking, and Irregular Deposits UK Proposal for Banking Reform: Fractional-Reserve Banking versus Deposits and Loans Musings on Fractional-Reserve Banking in a Bitcoin Age; Physicalist Shock Absorber Metaphors The Great Fractional Reserve/Freebanking Debate Jesús Huerta de Soto, Money, Bank Credit, and Economic Cycles Stephan Kinsella, “The Title-Transfer Theory of Contract,” Papinian Press Working Paper #1 (Sep. 7, 2024) Corporate Personhood, Limited Liability, and Double Taxation Doug French, Walk Away: The Rise and Fall of the Home-Ownership Myth My thoughts on bankruptcy and inalienability: see Areas that need development from libertarian thinker...

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 457. I had been meaning to talk to my old friend Sheldon Richman, of the Libertarian Institute and TGIF column, about his own IP Odyssey, as he's always been great on this issue, (( My IP Odyssey; as quoted in “Your failed business model is not my problem”; Sheldon Richman, “Patent Nonsense," IP Debate Breaks Out at FEE. Others, e.g. Richman, The Articles of Confederation Versus the Constitution. )) and many others. At the same time I had been talking to André Simoni of Brazil about some questions he had about applying my/Rothbard's title-transfer contract theory to some questions he had about interest payments on student loans and other contracts, usury, and so on. I had thought of talking to André and Sheldon separately but decided to combine them, partly because I confused André's topic with a discussion I had also been having at the same time with Galambosian Brian Gladish about IP and Galambos. (( On Galambos, see the following. On Gladish, see the next note. Galambos and Other Nuts; The Galambosians strike back; “Around this time I met the Galambosian.”; Was Galambos an IP Thief?; Galambos the Crank; Shades of Galambos: Man tries to copyright his name; Rothbard and Galambosians. )) Libertopia, San Diego, Oct. 11, 2012: Anthony Gregory, Kinsella, Roderick Long, Sheldon Richman. See KOL238 | Libertopia 2012 IP Panel with Charles Johnson and Butler Shaffer; KOL237 | Intellectual Nonsense: Fallacious Arguments for IP—Part 2 (Libertopia 2012); KOL236 | Intellectual Nonsense: Fallacious Arguments for IP (Libertopia 2012) Sheldon and I talked first about IP and other topics, and then to André about contract theory, which Sheldon jumped in on anyway. (I may talk to Gladish later about Galambos and IP.) (( Gladish on Galambos at ASC; his comments at: Have You Changed Your Mind About Intellectual Property?; Galambos and Other Nuts; Mises on Intellectual Property; Why Objectivists Hate Anarchy (Hint: IP). )) We touched on a number of topics; see the summary of our discussion points by Grok, below. https://youtu.be/7vrIz8cv2Bw Of relevance: Stephan Kinsella, “The Title-Transfer Theory of Contract,” Papinian Press Working Paper #1 (Sep. 7, 2024) Napolitano on Health-Care Reform and the Constitution: Is the Commerce Clause Really Limited?  and On Constitutional Sentimentalism (re Richman's point about the interstate commerce clause); see also his comments about federal tax power in Randy Barnett's “Federalism Amendment”–A Counterproposal; and related posts The Walmart Question, or, the Unsupported Assertions of Left-Libertarianism Ep. 382 Sheldon Richman Says Corporate Isn't a Dirty Word, Bob Murphy Show Four questions for “anti-capitalist” libertarians (Carpio)/Is Capitalism Something Good?

Today's podcast: Today, some 11 days since Americans voted to return Donald Trump to the White House by a significant majority in what was expected to be a very close election, the president-elect's named cabinet officers list is generating both praise, scorn, and open concern, might we Canadians, exactly 1 year from today be dealing very recent and much unexpected federal election results of our own and what might such an unexpected federal election result have us facing? Meanwhile, former Liberal Deputy PM John Manley is advising a snap federal election now with a new Canadian federal government in place in time for Donald Trump's inauguration as U.S. President and able to challenge any Trump admin decisions potentially harmful to this country. Guest: Darrell Bricker. CEO. IPSOS Public Affairs There's no question that Taylor Swift is a music royalty and perhaps the single most successful music act ever (Bigger than the Beatles? Bigger than Elvis?) In Toronto, Swift is treated as royalty and a motorcade rivals what King Charles might experience. And who pays for this? And is it all necessary? Meanwhile, Swift's presence in Toronto adds some $282 million to the city's economy. While Taylor Swift still has concerts to perform in Toronto, she will then be in Vancouver from December 6 to 8, with the VPD preparing to add 700 officers to its rotation during the Tay Tay concerts. But about the bar set by Toronto.  Guest: Joe Warmington. Columnist with The Toronto Sun.

A couple, Ash and Linda, are driving to what they believe will be a romantic getaway at a cabin in the woods that Ash claims is deserted.  The cabin, we discover, once belonged to an archaeologist, Dr. Raymond Knowby, and his wife Henrietta, who, while on an archaeological… mission of some kind, discovered the ⁠Necronomicon Ex-Mortis⁠, the Book of the Dead.  Upon arrival, Ash finds a reel to reel recording of Dr. Knowby discussing his mission and reciting lines from the Necronomicon.  Harmless stuff, you'd think.  Harmless, that is, until Linda and Ash's world starts coming alive, with evil spirits pouring out of every crack, crevice, and ditch.  When Dr. Knowby's daughter Annie arrives, along with her lover, a pair of locals, and new pages from the Necronomicon, all are in for a rude awakening.  Evil spirits gonna evil.  Fortunately, Ash is there, and proves mighty handy with a chainsaw and sawed-off shotgun.

This is an annual conference where marketers, social media leaders, and blogging parents connect to discuss the changing voice and perception of modern fatherhood.

Debating Wright Kinsella on Liberty Podcast, Episode 234. This is a debate on IP between me and a noted Bitcoin expert, Craig Wright, hosted and moderated by the Vin Armani show. Transcript below. After the debate I was in London to attend the inaugural 2018 meeting of Mises UK and to hang with my boys Lee Iglody, Jeff Barr, Doug French, and Hans Hoppe, and had challenged Wright to a debate during a few twitter run-ins (still on-going); I accepted and since I happened to be in London, Wright set it up and we did it at a local studio, with Armani moderating from Vegas. Further comments appear on my Facebook post and also on the Youtube post (below). Update [7/17/19]: I had my buddies Jeff Barr and Doug French in the room watching, and after the debate, invited Craig to drinks in the hotel bar. We had an interesting, if a bit bizarre and intense, discussion for an hour or so. But in the ensuing weeks, things between us devolved on Twitter. Wright had promised to produce "proof" of patents stimulating innovation during the debate, and apparently, like with many of his promises to produce something, never came through. I pointed that out on Twitter and he eventually ended up blocking me, as well as the podcast's host, Vin Armani, who at the time was, with Wright, a fellow BCH advocate (Vin is still a BCHer but Craig has split off again with his BSV). Of course, in the meantime, Wright has amped up his risible claims to be Satoshi and has been involved in a number of controversial issues in the bitcoin/crypto community. What a character. Also: during the debate I referred to him as Dr. Wright, since he claims to have several PhDs, but now I am not sure he has any legitimate PhDs, other perhaps than one in "theology", so I should not have called him "Dr." That was too deferential. On the other hand, he did pay for the venue and related costs, so I was being polite. Youtube (with captions): https://youtu.be/5ckcdnD9lFw Original Youtube (which contains a large number of comments; see below):  ❧ TRANSCRIPT Intellectual Property Debate: Stephan Kinsella vs. Craig Wright Stephan Kinsella, Craig Wright, and Vin Armani Vin Armani Show, London and Las Vegas, Jan. 27, 2018 00:00:00 VIN ARMANI: Welcome everyone to today's debate.  We are debating intellectual property.  The two opponents are Stephan Kinsella and Craig Wright.  Stephan Kinsella is an attorney in Houston, director of the Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom and editor of Libertarian Papers.  He is one of the foremost libertarian experts on intellectual property. 00:00:23 And Dr. Craig Wright is an inventor, computer scientist, and businessman who is one of the earliest minds behind Bitcoin.  He's the chief scientist at nChain research and development company involved in Bitcoin and blockchain technologies.  So today what we are going to be debating is the following resolution resolved.  Intellectual property law is a legitimate and useful institution that belongs in the emerging global sphere of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. 00:00:54 Craig Wright will be arguing for the resolution, and Stephan Kinsella will be arguing against.  This debate is going to consist of a series of five-minute statements and rebuttals, a series of rounds.  The first round is going to be an opening statement from each of the debaters.  We are going to start with – did we say we're starting with Craig Wright?  So we will start with Craig Wright who is arguing for the resolution.  Dr. Wright, if you will. 00:01:26 CRAIG WRIGHT: Thank you. So basically what we're looking at is the idea that intellectual property has no value from other people. Now, I would argue it does, not because of the common constraints and whatever else people put about scarcity and what they think about copying but for a number of reasons first as the scarcity of good ideas.  There are many ideas out there in the world,

The power of language to shape thought...defining anarchy, for instance It is essential to define one's terms in order to understand both concepts and reality The folly of basing one's conclusions on other people's conclusions--social metaphysics The ways that emotional issues can block logical analysis (http://www.logicallearning.net/liblogicforunder.html) and the mental trickery of rationalizations The nature of pretending that governmental "services" are voluntary... The latest from Mordor: http://www.barackobama.com/issues/education/#early-childhood There's no such thing as "voluntary universal" governmental programs About Last Night...Episode 1212 (Original Air Date: Nov 5, 2008) While the country celebrates the outcome of the election, the new President-elect catches everyone off guard when he arrives at the White House prematurely. http://www.southparkstudios.com/guide/1212/? The Greatest Thief Club In The World: http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/209730/ Charter schools are no threat to the communized educational system, because they too are dependent on stolen wealth and statist edicts "Public school" educators need to raise their self-esteem enough to trust their capabilities to provide their services in a non-domineering and voluntary fashion The hypothetical scenario of "pushing the button" to get one's way in society can be a device to expose the double standard of the statist code of morality (a vicious one-way ethical street) Notice how much people's claims for the "common good" entail their individual self-interest, albeit short-term and irrational Making unjust coercion look defensive and noble... "Leader of the free world," an authoritarian sociopath? Yup. If parents took responsibility for their kids' education, it could stem the tide of the real dropouts--that is, kids who drop in to coercive education and thus drop out of being intrinsically motivated learners Of course, without governmental "support," especially for education, civilization would simply implode and disappear into an abyss...right... The sick and twisted world of elitism; in a world of collective psychosis (where people detach from the actual reality of their situation) and deranged authoritarian sociopathy, coercive funding of coercive education makes perfect sense! The voracious nature of Leviathan... Governmental control of education is evil to the core, and it's psychologically damaging to everyone involved, serving to destroy people's self-esteem, i.e., their self-confidence and self-respect--and thus their confidence in and respect for others The welfare hook--"free" everything, though always at others' expense The three immoral lessons of governmental schooling: Don't bite the hand that feeds you; never look at what the hand is attached to; and, never ask how it got filled with free food Not only does "the Emperor" have no clothes; why are you calling someone "the Emperor"? Education: Free and Noncompulsory by Scott McPherson http://www.fff.org/freedom/fd0802d.asp If there is one thing that the communistic educational system has done really well, it's to get people to think like central planners--"public policy" opinions galore! Unschooled doesn't mean uneducated; unschooled means self-motivated, independent, inquisitive, and creative Unschooling fosters trusting one's mind (and hence senses) and questioning the nature of arbitrary postulates (further perusing: http://www.logicallearning.net/libfreewill.html, http://www.logicallearning.net/libmentalshiftin.html, and http://www.logicallearning.net/libanissueofmort.html) The irony of scientifically minded statists criticizing Christian homeschooling...
