Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 465. GROK SHOWNOTES: [0:00–9:16] In this engaging episode of the Kinsella on Liberty podcast, Stephan Kinsella and Sheldon Richman tackle the contentious issue of pharmaceutical price controls under Trump's executive order, questioning their equivalence to traditional price controls that distort markets. Kinsella, drawing on his extensive critique of intellectual property (Patents and Pharmaceuticals, 2023; Patents, Pharma, Government: The Unholy Alliance, 2024), argues that patents create artificial monopolies, so price controls countering these are not standard interventions but responses to government-granted privileges. Richman highlights FDA-imposed costs, which patents partially offset, though Kinsella counters that these costs are overstated, citing lower drug prices abroad (Drug Reimportation, 2009). They endorse reimportation as a market-based solution, referencing Connor O'Keefe's analysis (Mises: How Trump Can Lower Drug Prices Without Price Controls, 2025), but criticize Trump's coercive tactics as resembling a protection racket (Trump's Worst Idea: Pharmaceuticals, 2025) (0:02–6:00). The discussion also critiques antitrust laws and secondary regulations, with Richman warning against Kevin Carson's approach of layering controls atop privileges (Kevin Carson on Confiscating Property from the Rich, 2016) (6:00–9:16). [9:16–1:13:35] The conversation shifts to a robust defense of the corporate form, addressing left-libertarian criticisms of limited liability and shareholder responsibility. Kinsella, aligning with Robert Hessen's contractual view and his own writings (Corporate Personhood, Limited Liability, and Double Taxation, 2011; Left-Libertarians, Corporations, Expropriating Stakeholders, 2008), argues that limited liability is not a privilege but a logical outcome of action-based responsibility, where shareholders are not liable unless causally responsible for torts (Van Dun on Freedom versus Property and Hostile Encirclement, 2009). Richman decries the pejorative use of “corporate” by figures like Roderick Long, rejecting claims that corporations inherently rely on state favoritism (Comment on Left-Libertarianism on Roderick Long's Sub-Ex Dep Post, 2009) (9:16–36:01). They explore thick libertarianism, agreeing that individualism connects to broader values but remains distinct, and critique Walter Block's evictionism on abortion, with Kinsella arguing fetuses are not trespassers due to maternal actions (Together Strong Debate with Walter Block, 2022) (36:01–1:13:35). A lighthearted discussion on pipe tobacco reflects their commitment to personal liberty, underscoring their broader libertarian principles (Wombatrons: Why I Am a Left-Libertarian, 2009). https://youtu.be/5YaTsoDH9Eg Grok detailed shownotes: Detailed Segment Summary for Show Notes Segment 1: Price Controls, Patents, and Reimportation (0:02–9:16) Description and Summary: Kinsella andMemphis-based Robert Hessen and Sheldon Richman discuss Trump's pharmaceutical price control executive order, questioning its implications. Kinsella, per his writings (Patents and Pharmaceuticals, 2023; Patents, Pharma, Government: The Unholy Alliance, 2024), argues that patents create monopoly prices, so price controls countering these aren't standard market distortions, as patents themselves are government-granted (IP vs. Antitrust, 2005). Richman notes FDA costs inflate drug prices, but Kinsella cites lower prices abroad to argue these costs are overstated (Drug Reimportation, 2009) (0:02–2:28). They advocate reimportation, citing Connor O'Keefe's market-based approach (Mises: How Trump Can Lower Drug Prices Without Price Controls, 2025), and criticize Trump's coercive tactics as a protection racket (Trump's Worst Idea: Pharmaceuticals, 2025) (2:28–6:00). The segment critiques antitrust laws and secondary regulations, with Richman comparing them to Kevin Carson's flawed approach (Kevin Carson on Confisca...

In this episode of Behind the Genes, we explore the hopes, concerns and complex questions raised by the idea of a lifetime genome — a single genomic record used across a person's life to guide healthcare decisions. Drawing on conversations from Genomics England's Public Standing Group on the lifetime genome, our guests explore what it might mean for individuals, families and society to have their genome stored from birth, and how it could transform healthcare. The discussion reflects on the potential for earlier diagnoses, better treatments and long-term prevention, alongside pressing ethical concerns such as data security, consent, and the impact on family dynamics. Participants share their views and discuss the future role of genomic data in medicine, with insights into how trust, equity and public dialogue must shape this evolving field. Our host for this episode, Dr Harriet Etheredge, is joined by Suzalee Blair-Gordon and Gordon Bedford, two members of the Genomics England's Public Standing Group on the lifetime genome, and Suzannah Kinsella, Senior Associate at Hopkins Van Mil, a social sciences research agency that helped to facilitate this work. Together, they consider the broader societal implications of lifetime genomic data, and how public involvement can help guide policy and practice in the UK and beyond. This conversation is part of our ongoing work through the Generation Study, exploring how genomics can be used responsibly and meaningfully from birth onwards. You can listen to some of our Generation Study episodes by following the links below. What can we learn from the Generation Study? How has design research shaped the Generation Study? What do parents want to know about the Generation Study?   "This isn't just a science project, it's about designing a future where everyone feels included and protected. We need more voices, parents, young people, underrepresented communities, to keep shaping it in the right direction."   You can download the transcript, or read it below. Harriet: Welcome to Behind the Genes. Suzalee: I have come to terms with the thought that life is unpredictable and I have already begun to accept any health condition that comes my way. Believe you me, I have been through the stage of denial, and yes, I have frozen upon hearing health diagnoses in the past but now I believe that I am a bit wiser to accept the things that I cannot change and to prepare to face the symptoms of whatever illness I am to be dealt with or to be dealt to me. If the analysis of my genome can help me to prepare, then yes, I am going to welcome this programme with open arms.  Harriet: My name is Harriet Etheredge, and I am the Ethics Lead on the Newborn Genomes Programme here at Genomic England. On today's episode I'm joined by 3 really special guests, Suzalee Blair and Gordon Bedford, who are members of Genomics England's Public Standing Group on Lifetime Genomes, and Suzannah Kinsella, Senior Associate at Hopkins Van Mil, a social sciences research agency that has helped us to facilitate this work.  Today we'll be discussing the concept of the lifetime genome. What do we mean when we say, ‘lifetime genome'? How can we realise the promise of the lifetime genome to benefit people's healthcare whilst at the same time really appreciating and understanding the very real risks associated? How do we collectively navigate ethical issues emerging at this genomic frontier? If you enjoy today's episode, we would really love your support. Please share, like and give us a 5-star rating wherever you listen to your podcasts. And if there's a guest that you'd love to hear on a future episode of Behind the Genes, please contact us on podcast@genomicsengland.co.uk. Let's get on with the show. I'll start off by asking our guests to please introduce yourselves.  Suzalee, over to you.  Suzalee: Thanks, Harriet. So I am a proud mum of two kids, teacher of computing at one of the best academic trusts in the UK, and I am also a sickler, and for those who don't know what that means, I am living with sickle cell disease.  Harriet: Thank you so much, Suzalee. Gordon, over to you.  Gordon: I'm Gordon Bedford, I'm a pharmacist based in The Midlands. I've worked in hospital and community pharmacy. I have a genetic condition, which I won't disclose on the podcast but that was my sort of position coming into this as I'm not a parent of children, but it was coming in from my perspective as a pharmacist professional and as a member of society as well.  Harriet: Thank you so much, Gordon. And, last but certainly not least, Suzannah.  Suzannah: So, yes, Suzannah Kinsella. I am a social researcher at Hopkins Van Mil, and I had the pleasure of facilitating all of the workshops where we gathered together the Public Standing Group and working on reporting the outcome from our discussions, so delighted to be coming in from South London. Harriet: Thank you so much, everyone, and it's such a pleasure to have you here today. So, many regular listeners to Behind the Genes will now that Genomics England is currently undertaking the Generation Study. I'm not going to speak about it in much detail because the Generation Study has already been the subject of several Behind the Genes podcasts and we'll put some links to these in the show notes for this episode. But briefly, the Generation Study aims to analyse whole genomes of 100,000 newborn babies across England, looking for 250 rare conditions. We have a view to getting these children onto treatments earlier and potentially enhancing their lives.  The Generation Study is a research project because we don't know if the application of this technology will work. And as a research project we can also answer other important questions, such as questions about a lifetime genome. When we invite parents to consent to the Generation Study on behalf of their newborn babies, we ask to store babies' genomic data and linked healthcare data in our trusted research environment.  This helps us to further research into genes and health. But a critical question is ‘what do we do with these data long term?' And one of the potential long-term uses of the data is to revisit it and re-analyse it over a person's lifetime.  We could do this at critical transition points in life, like adolescence, early adulthood or older age, with the aim of using the genomic data to really enhance people's health. But this is a very new concept. There's been little work on it internationally, however I am pleased to say that interest seems to be picking up. In the Generation Study, whilst we are at the present time doing no lifetime genomes work, we are looking to explore the benefits, risks and potential uses of the lifetime genome.  This Public Standing Group on lifetime genomes was our first foray into this area.  So, I'd like to start off by inviting Suzannah to please explain a bit more about what the Public Standing Group is, why it was created and how a group like this helps us to generate early deliberation and insight.  Suzannah: So, the first thing I should talk about is who were these 26 people that formed part of this group, and the first thing to say is that they were a wide range of ages and backgrounds from across England, so some from Newcastle, some from London and everywhere in between. And these 26 people all had one thing in common, which is they had all taken part in a previous Genomics England public dialogue, either the whole genome sequencing for newborn screening which took place in 2021, or in a more recent one in about 2022/23 which was looking at what should Genomics England think about in terms of research access to data that's drawn from the Generation Study. So, the great thing was that everybody had already some previous knowledge around genomics, but the concept of a lifetime genome was completely new. So these 26 people met on 5 occasions over the period of 2024, mostly meeting face to face, and really the task that they were given was to look at the lifetime genome and look at it from every angle; consent, use, information sharing and all sorts of other aspects as well. Harriet: Gordon and Suzalee, you were participants in our Public Standing Group, I'd love to hear from you what your roles in the Standing Group were and what you found most interesting, but also for you which bits were the most challenging. Suzalee, shall we start with you? Suzalee: For me the most interesting bits were being able to learn about one's genome and, through Genomics England and their possible use of pharmacogenetics, could determine the specific medication that could be prescribed for a new health condition instead of expensive and possibly tonnes of adverse side effects trial and error medications. Additionally, as a person living with sickle cell disease, I got the chance to share my story and to give voice to people living with the same condition or similar to myself, and how the potential of the genomics newborn programme could help our future generation. There were some tricky bits, and the most challenging bit was to initially discuss and think about the idea of whether or not a parent might choose to know or not to know the potential of their newborn developing or prone to develop a certain condition based on the data received from the programme. My thought went back to when I gave birth to my first child 16 years ago and I was adamant to know if my child would inherit the sickle cell disease, what type, if it would be the trait. In my mind I knew the result, as my haemoglobin is SC and their dad is normal, but I wanted to be sure of my child's specific trait. But then I asked myself, “What if my child was part of the Newborn Genomes Programme, then the possibility exists that other health conditions could be detected through the deep analysis of my child's genome. Would I really want to know then? What would be the psychological effect or, in some cases, the social impact of what I have to learn?” Harriet: Thank you so much, Suzalee. And I think it's just wonderful to hear about the personal impacts that this kind of work can have and thank you for bringing that to us.  Gordon, I'll hand over to you. I'd be really interested in your thoughts on this. Gordon: So my role in the Public Standing Group was to give my section of society my experiences in life to bring them together with other people, so experiences like Suzalee and the 24 other people that joined us on the study, to bring our opinions together, to bring our wide knowledge and group experiences of life. And it's important to have a wide group, because it forces us to wrestle with differences of opinion. Not everybody thinks like I do.  As a pharmacist, I can see the practical side of genomics, like pharmacogenomics, where we could use a baby's genome to predict how they'll respond to drugs over their lifetime. That's a game-changer for avoiding adverse reactions or ineffective treatments, but not everybody's sold on it. Some in our group worried about privacy, who gets this data, or ethics, like whether it's fair to sequence a baby who can't say yes or no. I get that. I don't have children, but I hear those things clearly. The most interesting bits for me, the pharmacogenomics discussion in meeting two stood out, everyone could see the tangible benefits of tailoring medicines to a person's genome, making treatments more effective, and in Meeting 5 designing our own lifetime genome resource was also fascinating. Ideas like it for public health research showed how far-reaching this could be. Some of the challenging sides of things that I came across, the toughest part was grappling with unknowns in Meeting 4, like how to share genetic info with your family without damaging relationships. Those risks felt real, and it was hard to balance them against the benefits, especially when trust from groups like minority ethnic communities is at stake. Harriet: Thank you so much, Gordon. I think from you and Suzalee it's so fascinating to hear how you were grappling, I think, with some of your personal and professional feelings about this and your deeply-held personal views and bringing those first of all out into the open, which is something that is very brave and we really respect and admire you doing that, and also then understanding that people do hold very different views about these issues. And that's why bring these issues to an engagement forum because it's important for us to hear those views and to really understand how people are considering these really tricky ethical issues. So, Suzalee, I'm wondering from your perspective how do you feel we can really be respectful towards other people's points of view? Suzalee: Yes, Harriet. In spite of the fact that we had different viewpoints on some topics discussed, every member, researcher, presenter and guests were respectful of each other's point of view. We all listened to each other with keen eyes, or sometime squinted eyes, with a hand on the chin which showed that what was being said was being processed or interpreted. All our views were recorded by our researchers for further discussion and analysis, therefore I felt heard, and I believe we all felt heard.  Harriet: Do you have any examples that you can recall from the groups where there were differing points of view and how we navigated those? Gordon: Where we had screening at age 5, but we agreed on an opt-out model, because it could help spot issues early. But some worried - psychological impacts, knowing too much too soon. But we looked at an opt-out model rather than an opt-in model because it's easier to say to somebody, “If you don't want to continue with this, opt out” rather than trying to get everybody opting in at every different age range. So, as we reach the age of 5, 10, 15, 20, whatever, it's easier to get people to opt out if they no longer want to be part of that rather than trying to get them to opt in at each stage throughout their life. Harriet: Suzannah, do you have anything to add there as a facilitator? How did you feel about bringing these different points of view together? Suzannah: Yeah, you asked about where are the tensions, where do people maybe agree a bit less or agree and hold different views, and I think what stands out is particularly…  There was an idea floated by one of the speakers about you could have your DNA data on an NHS app and then, let's say if you're in an emergency, a paramedic could have access to it or others. And that really I think brought out quite a wide range of perspectives of some in the group feeling, “You know what, anyone who has an interest, anyone that can help my health, let them have access to it as and when, completely fine,” and others took a more cautious approach saying, “This is my DNA, this is who I am, this is unique to me, my goodness, if someone, some rogue agent manages to crash the system and get hold if it goodness knows what nightmare scenario it could result in,” and so had a much more keep it locked down, keep it very limited approach to having access to your lifetime genome data and so on. So that was a really interesting example of people going, “Yep, make it free” and others going, “No, just for very specific NHS roles,” which I thought was fascinating. Harriet: Yeah, thank you so much, Suzannah. And I think it's a real tangible challenge that those of us working in this area are trying to grapple with, is finding the middle ground here with all of the challenges that this involves, for instance, our data infrastructure and the locations at which data are held. Advert: The Genomics England Research Summit is fast approaching and registration is now open! Join us for this one day in-person event on Tuesday 17 June 2025. This year's agenda dives into rare condition diagnosis, cancer genomics, pharmacogenomics, therapeutic trials, and the impact of emerging technologies. Hear from leading experts and inspirational speakers as we explore the present and future of genomics and the latest research and technology from the Genomics England research community. Keep an eye on the website, genomicsresearchsummit.co.uk for all the details and to secure your spot. Spaces are limited, so don't miss out. We'll see you at the summit! Harriet: I think this brings us really nicely onto looking at some of the ethical, legal and social issues that we need to think through when we're considering the lifetime genome.  I'm wondering if we can expand on some of these and the importance of addressing them. Gordon, would you like to give us your thoughts? Gordon: Sure, thank you. Our job was to dig into how a baby's genome could be used over the lifetime, think pharmacogenetics for better drugs, early childhood screening for conditions or carrier testing to inform family planning. We saw huge potential for individual health like catching diseases early, but also broader impacts like reducing NHS costs through prevention. Weighing the risks and benefits. The benefits like earlier diagnosis or research breakthroughs grew clearer over time with ratings rising from 4.1 to 4.7 - that's out of, I believe, a figure of 5, but risks like data breaches and family tensions over shared genetics stayed significant. We agreed the benefits could outweigh the risks but only with mitigations like transparent governance and strong security. And what are the global implications moving forward? What we discussed isn't just for the UK, it's feeding into the global conversation about newborns in genomic research. That responsibility made us think hard about equity, access, and how to build public trust. Harriet: Thank you, Gordon, I think there's so much there to unpack. And one point I think in particular that you've mentioned, and this came out really strongly as one of our main findings from these groups, was the way that a lifetime genome and the way that we might deliver that information could really impact family dynamics in ways that we might not have really thought of before or in ways that we really have to unpack further. And, Suzalee, I'd love to hear from you about this, how might diverse family dynamics need to be considered? Suzalee: Harriet, as it relates to diverse family dynamics a burning legal issue, which is then triangulated into being considered an ethical issue as well as a social issue, was the question can siblings of sperm donors be informed of life-threatening genomic discoveries? Whose responsibility is it? Will policies now have to be changed or implemented by donor banks to take into consideration the possibility of families being part of the new genomes programme? Harriet: Yeah, thank you, Suzalee. I think there's so much there that we have to unpack and in the Generation Study we're starting to look at some of those questions, but going forward into potential risks, benefits and uses of the lifetime genome, all of these new technologies around human reproduction are things that we're going to have to consider really, really carefully through an ethical and legal lens. Suzannah, I wondered if you have anything to add to these as major ethical issues that came out in these groups. Suzannah: I think, as you say, people were so fascinated by the idea of this information landing in a family, and where do you stop? Do you stop at your siblings, your direct family, the brothers and sisters of a child?  Do you go to the cousins?  Do you go to the second cousins?  It's this idea of where does family stop. And then people were really interested in thinking about who does the telling, whose job is it? And we had this fascinating conversation – I think it was in Workshop 3 – where this very stark fact was shared, which is the NHS doesn't know who your mother or your father or your siblings are; your NHS records are not linked in that way. And so that presented people with this challenge or concern that “Actually, if I get quite a serious genetic condition diagnosed in my family whose job is it to share that information, what support is there to do that and how far do we go?”  So, I think people were really fascinated and hopeful that Genomics England will really be at the vanguard of saying, “How do we as we move into an era of more genetic data being used in our healthcare, how's that managed and how's it shared?” Harriet: Yeah, thank you so much, Suzannah. So I think that what's coming out through everything that you're all saying is the huge breadth of issues that came up here. And of course we're seeing, very encouragingly, so many nods to the potential benefits, especially around things like pharmacogenomics, but we are seeing some risks.  Gordon, I wondered if you'd like to elaborate a bit further. Gordon: So, something that came up, and it divided the group quite considerably, carrier status divided us. Some saw it as reducing disease prevalence and others feared it could fuel anxiety or stigma amongst the family or other families. It showed how personal these choices are and why families need control over what they learn. Harriet: Yeah, it's a very good point, and carrier status is something that could be a conceivable use of our lifetime genome record. Suzannah? Suzannah: Just building off what Gordon was talking about, I remember there were also discussions around are we getting into a state where this is about eradication of so many different conditions, and actually how does that sit with a society that is more embracing, accommodating and supportive of people with different health needs. So, I think that was quite a big ethical discussion that was had, is, and particularly where we think about what we screen for in the future over time and so forth, people really being conscious that “Actually, where are we going with this? Are we risking demonising certain conditions and saying we don't want them on the planet anymore and what are the consequences of that?” Advert: If you're enjoying what you've heard today and you'd like to hear some more great tales from the genomics coalface, why don't you join us on the Road to Genome podcast, where our host, Helen Bethell, chats to the professionals, experts and patients involved in genomics today. In our new series, Helen talks to a fantastic array of guests including the rapping consultant, clinical geneticist Professor Julian Barwell about Fragile X Syndrome, cancer genomics and the holistic approach to his practice. A genuine mic-drop of an interview. The Road to Genome is available wherever you get your podcasts. Harriet: And I think came to a point in our final meeting where we were asking our participants, so Suzalee and Gordon and everybody else in the room, whether you might consider having a lifetime genome for yourself and what that would look like. We'd love to share your views about that, and Suzalee, I'm wondering if you can share your thoughts on that with us first. Suzalee: Definitely. I would wholeheartedly be interested in the lifetime genome programme if it was offered to me right now. I believe that the pros for me are phenomenal. I have come to terms with the thought that life is unpredictable and I have already begun to accept any health condition that comes my way. Believe you me, I have been through the stage of denial, and yes, I have frozen upon hearing health diagnoses in the past but now I believe that I am a bit wiser to accept the things that I cannot change and to prepare to face the symptoms of whatever illness I am to be dealt with or to be dealt to me. If the analysis of my genome can help me to prepare, then yes, I am going to welcome this programme with open arms. Harriet: Thank you, Suzalee. And, Gordon, how did you feel about it? Gordon: Being part of the group showed me how genomics is both thrilling and daunting.  I'd lean towards ‘yes' for a lifetime genome resource for the chance to detect conditions early, but I get why some people may say ‘no' over the data fears or ethical lines. This isn't just a science project, it's about designing a future where everyone feels included and protected. We need more voices, parents, young people, underrepresented communities, to keep shaping it in the right direction. Laws would have to be enacted regarding the storage, use and availability of genetic data. We haven't yet seen as well, how AI's complete benefits in medicine will develop over time. Harriet: Thank you so much, Gordon and Suzalee, for sharing that. And, Suzannah, I know that at the end of the Public Standing Group we generally asked all of our participants whether they would choose to have a lifetime genome, the same sort of question I've just asked Suzalee and Gordon. I wondered if you could just briefly give us an overall sense of how the Public Standing Group participants felt about that. Suzannah: Yes, so it's interesting to see that actually not everyone said, despite spending a year or almost a year discussing this, not everyone said, “Sign me up,” 6 said, “No” or “Maybe.” And the reasons they gave, this idea, “Well, all this data, could a government sell it off?  What guarantees have we got?”  So that was a reason. Somewhat of a concern also about breaches but also this idea of “What do I really want to know? Do I want to have a lifetime resource that can tell me what's going to happen next in my health?” and some say, “Let me deal with it when the symptoms start coming and that's the way I want to handle it.”  So, yeah, about 20 said, “I'd be really interested,” similar to Suzalee and Gordon, 6 on the fence or firmly, “No thanks.” Harriet: Thank you so much, Suzannah. I think your point about uncertainty there is so relevant and important to us. We see uncertainty across genomics and we're layering that here with uncertainty about futures, we're layering that with uncertainty about health. And I hope that this has served to really illustrate the magnitude of the challenge we're looking at here and I think also why for us as Genomics England this is just something we're exploring. There's so much to unpack, there's so much still to be done. In terms of our next steps for Genomics England, it feels like we could speak about this for a week but I'm going to have to wrap it up here. So, for us what are our next steps?  We hope really that as we publicise the findings of this Public Standing Group and when we start combining some of our work and looking at it in harmonisation with the work that others are doing across the world, we might be better positioned to understand the potential future directions that a lifetime genome could take. That's obviously very, very exciting because we expect to see this area of enquiry expanding significantly over the coming years.  And we're already hearing about a number of other countries who are also doing birth cohort studies like we are who might hope to use similar applications of the lifetime genome going forward. So, there's a real opportunity for us here to collaborate and it's really heart-warming that the voices of our participants in this Public Standing Group can be used to facilitate that level of engagement. For us at the Generation Study, we're already looking at the next iteration of our lifetime genomes work and we're being led by the findings of this Public Standing Group as we move forward, specifically in that we're going to be starting to take some of these emerging themes to the parents of our Generation Study babies to really find out how they would feel about them. Harriet: I'd like to extend my sincere gratitude to all for being my guests today, Suzannah Kinsella, Suzalee Blair and Gordon Bedford.

The conversation begins [0:01–7:20] with Kinsella's background in patent law, where he candidly reflects on his anti-IP stance even while working within the IP system. He outlines how his libertarian beliefs shaped his legal career, how he avoided ethically troubling work like aggressive patent litigation, and how he transitioned to full-time libertarian scholarship, including his influential work on intellectual property and legal theory. As the episode unfolds [7:20–59:45], Kinsella explores the philosophical foundations of law from Roman and common law to natural law, and discusses international law, war crimes, and higher-law principles that transcend statutory frameworks. He articulates his estoppel theory of rights, critiques legal positivism, and examines proportionality in justice. Later segments address libertarian perspectives on immigration policy, property rights, and the influence of Kant on modern libertarian thinkers like Hans-Hermann Hoppe. Kinsella closes by recommending his book Legal Foundations of a Free Society [59:00–59:45], which compiles decades of his work on law, rights, and liberty. Grow shownotes: [00:00–15:00] In this episode of the Tyrants Den podcast, recorded on February 24, 2025, host Tyrell (The Liberty Tyrant) interviews Stephan Kinsella, a prominent libertarian thinker and retired patent attorney, to discuss law, rights, and Hans-Hermann Hoppe's contributions to libertarian theory. Kinsella shares his unique perspective as an anti-intellectual property (IP) patent attorney, explaining how he practiced patent law for 30 years while advocating for the abolition of IP, viewing his role as akin to providing defensive tools for clients. He introduces Hoppe's argumentation ethics, which defends libertarian norms like self-ownership and the non-aggression principle by arguing that denying them creates a performative contradiction in discourse. [15:01–59:45] The conversation explores Hoppe's critique of the state as an aggressor and his vision for private, decentralized legal systems grounded in property rights. Kinsella discusses natural law, common law, and civil law, drawing on his experience in Louisiana's civil law system and his international law studies. He explains his estoppel theory of rights, inspired by Hoppe and common law, which posits that aggressors cannot object to defensive force due to their prior actions, provided responses are proportional. The episode concludes with a discussion on immigration, where Kinsella proposes an invitation-based system to balance liberty and cultural concerns, and a plug for his book, Legal Foundations of a Free Society.

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).

Kinsella On Liberty
KOL459 | Twitter Spaces: Jack Dorsey, Elon Musk, Libertarian Property Rights, and the Case for Abolishing Intellectual Property

Kinsella On Liberty

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 459. In response to lots of froth on Twitter related to Jack Dorsey's call to "delete all IP law," which was echoed by Elon Musk (Musk and Dorsey: “delete all IP law”) I decided to attempt to host an impromptu Twitter Spaces about this. After overcoming some technical glitches, here is the result (and thanks to @Brunopbch, @NotGovernor (Patrick Smith), and @TrueAmPatriot86 for assists). I proposed to the space: "Fielding Questions About Abolishing Intellectual Property, about IP, and About Libertarian Property Rights", and that's basically what we ended up talking about. The Twitter spaces can be viewed here; I have clipped off the first 8 minutes or so of setup talk for this podcast episode. Grok summaries and shownotes and Youtube Transcript below. https://t.co/IHeVhPhlbs I'm going to do an impromptu Twitter space in an hour (2pm CST) to field any questions about the Libertarian Case Against Intellectual Property, in view of recent Twitter debates inspired by @jack Dorsey's and @elonmusk 's anti-IP comments,… — Stephan Kinsella (@NSKinsella) April 14, 2025 https://youtu.be/01FdFoB9QHY GROK HIGH LEVEL SUMMARY: Below is a concise summary of the video "Stephan Kinsella on Intellectual Property (IP)" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01FdFoB9QHY), divided into six parts, based on the provided transcript and informed by the linked post (https://c4sif.org/2025/04/musk-dorsey-delete-all-ip-law/). The video features Stephan Kinsella discussing the case for abolishing IP laws in a Twitter Spaces session. Summary in Six Parts 1. Introduction and Context (0:01–1:03) Kinsella opens the session, discussing technical setup and his recent online IP debates, sparked by figures like Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey, who advocate abolishing IP laws. 2. Addressing IP Objections (1:09–5:16) Kinsella invites questions and tackles a common concern: IP protects small creators from big corporations. He argues this is misguided, noting Musk and Dorsey's history of non-aggressive patent use (e.g., Tesla, Twitter), and challenges the assumption that creators deserve government-enforced rights. 3. Misconceptions and Debate Challenges (5:23–12:28) He debunks myths equating copying to theft or plagiarism, criticizing IP as anti-competitive. Kinsella laments Twitter's combative nature, where users avoid substantive dialogue, and shares his desire for recorded discussions to foster learning, citing past successes. 4. China and IP's Economic Impact (12:34–15:22) Responding to a question, Kinsella argues China's growth shows benefits of lax IP, as adopting Western technology isn't theft but learning. He critiques U.S. politicians for using “IP theft” to justify tariffs and impose Western IP laws globally. 5. IP vs. Property Rights and Innovation (15:48–38:02) Kinsella disputes claims that IP is a natural right, explaining ownership comes from first use or contract, not creation. Using Bitcoin as an example, he emphasizes secrecy over legal enforcement. He argues IP reduces innovation by granting monopolies, slowing progress for patent holders and competitors alike. 6. Corporate Power and IP's Decline (38:09–1:15:40) He asserts IP fuels corporate giants (e.g., pharmaceuticals, Microsoft), not small creators, inflating prices and harming consumers. Kinsella notes copyright's decline due to piracy and predicts technology (e.g., 3D printing) may render patents obsolete. He concludes that abolishing IP requires embracing uncertainty for justice, despite public fear of change. This summary condenses the video's key points into six sections, aligning with the principled and pragmatic arguments Kinsella makes, while reflecting Musk and Dorsey's anti-IP stance from the linked post. Let me know if you need further refinement! GROK DETAILED SUMMARY: Below is a summary of the video "Stephan Kinsella on Intellectual Property (IP)" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01FdFoB9QHY),

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 458. The meat of this talk is only about 15 minutes, if you skip the first couple minutes of setup and the Q&A at the end. As mentioned in Speaking at APEE IP Panel in Guatemala, today (April 6, 2025) I spoke on a panel at the APEE 49th Meeting in Guatemala. The theme of this year's meeting was “The Economic History of State and Market Institutions,” April 6-8, 2025, Guatemala City, Guatemala (program). My panel was Panel 50. [1.E.06] “Intellectual Property: Old Problems and New Developments,” Monday, April 7, 2025, 3:50 pm-5:05 pm, Breakout06. Organizer: Monica Rio Nevado de Zelaya, Universidad Francisco Marroquín; Chair: Ramón Parellada, Universidad Francisco Marroquín.

One gentleman was not happy with my remarks and my Adam Moore, a panelist on the previous panel, and I had pretty opposite views, but many others liked my perspective and expressed this to me. I thoroughly enjoyed attending the APEE meeting, if only for one full day. https://youtu.be/B4TrV44K9b4 My notes are below, as well as the Youtube transcript. Patent and Copyright versus Innovation, Competition, and Property Rights Stephan Kinsella APEE 49th Meeting “The Economic History of State and Market Institutions” April 6-8, 2025, Guatemala City, Guatemala Panel 50. [1.E.06] “Intellectual Property: Old Problems and New Developments” Monday, April 7, 2025, 3:50 pm–5:05 pm, Breakout06. Based on my forthcoming book “Copy This Book: The Case for Abolishing Intellectual Property” and also “The Problem with Intellectual Property.” (( The latter will be in Handbook of the Philosophical Foundations of Business Ethics, 2nd ed., Christoph Lütge & Marianne Thejls Ziegler, eds. (Springer, forthcoming 2025; Robert McGee, section ed.), update of “The Case Against Intellectual Property,” in Handbook of the Philosophical Foundations of Business Ethics(Prof. Dr. Christoph Lütge, ed.; Springer, 2013) (chapter 68, in Part 18, “Property Rights: Material and Intellectual,” Robert McGee, section ed.). )) OK, let's see how much damage I can do in 15 minutes. I've been a patent attorney for over thirty years, and have prosecuted hundreds of high tech patents over that time. Intel, GE, UPS, Applied Optoelectronics, etc. Also about thirty years ago I concluded that all forms of intellectual property, or IP, ought to be abolished. I published many articles and even books on pure IP law—patents in the oil and gas industry, a trademark treatise—but at the same time wrote articles and books critical of IP law, including Against Intellectual Property.

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.

(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?

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 454. I interviewed/had a discussion with my first IP law boss today, William C. (Bill) Norvell, Jr., about our time together when I was a new lawyer, his love of opera and so on, and his views on politics, war, Trump, and his views on the patent and IP system based on his years of experience as a patent prosecutor and patent ligitator. Bill, previously a parter with my former firm Jackson Walker, is now retired from Akerman. He was unable to connect via video on our Zoom call so his part is audio only. https://youtu.be/dfpn3KWnh2Q I've mentioned before there are very few anti-patent IP attorneys (see Pro-IP “Anarchists” and anti-IP Patent Attorneys). It turns out Bill, the guy who taught me patent law, is mostly of that sentiment. In response to my question about whether abolishing the patent system would mean the end of innovation and inventions, go to about 1:26:00, for this interchange: Kinsella: If the patent system disappeared tomorrow, do you think this this would mean that innovation would stop? Norvell: No, absolutely not. I think it's in the mind in the civilized man and woman mind to move forward and advance society, and we've done this since the caveman and the development of fire and the wheel and so forth. Absolutely not. I think the people that I have known and worked with in my career had brilliant minds;  they were creative people people, and they didn't they didn't really didn't give a damn about the patents. You know another point on this, and in direct answer to your question, is that patents are are applications a lot of times are approved to be pursued in corporations to be “warm fuzzies” for engineers and designers and so forth—"oh this man has three patents etc etc etc”—and there's there's not any care about about protectionism and going into the market and so forth. Mankind, in our entire society, the development of the Industrial Revolution, the evolution of that, is in the in the genes, so to speak, of humanity. I don't think it would affect it a bit. I am reminded of the words of an email to me from a patent attorney (Miracle–An Honest Patent Attorney!): Stephan, Your letter responding to Joe Hosteny's comments on Patent Trolls nicely states what I came to realize several years ago, namely, it is unclear that the U.S. Patent System, as currently implemented, necessarily benefits society as a whole. Certainly, it has benefited [Hostey] and his [partners] and several of their prominent clients, and has put Marshall, Texas on the map; but you really have to wonder if the “tax” placed on industry by the System (and its use of juries or lay judges to make the call on often highly complex technical issues that the parties' technical experts cannot agree on) is really worth it. Of course, anyone can point to a few start-up companies that, arguably, owe their successes to their patent portfolios; but over the last 35 years, I have observed what would appear to be an ever increasing number of meritless patents, issued by an understaffed and talent-challenged PTO examining group, being used to extract tribute from whole industries. I have had this discussion with a number of clients, including Asian clients, who have been forced to accept our Patent System and the “taxes” it imposes on them as the cost of doing business in the USA. I wish I had the “answer”. I don't. But going to real opposition proceedings, special patent courts with trained patent judges, “loser pays attorney fees” trials, retired engineers/scientists or other experienced engineers/scientists being used to examine applications in their fields of expertise by telecommuting from their homes or local offices throughout the Country, litigating patent attorneys providing regular lectures to the PTO examiners on problems encountered in patent infringement cases due to ineffective or careless examination of patent applications, and the appointment of actually qualified patent judges to...

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green is joined by Artnet News Senior Market Reporter Eileen Kinsella to recap Frieze LA 2025. We discuss the fair's overall atmosphere, how the recent wildfires impacted both attendance and the local art community, and the debate over whether the event should have proceeded as planned. We also highlight major fundraising efforts by galleries to support those affected. From a market perspective, we analyze key sales trends, the growing selectivity among buyers, and which artists and galleries saw the strongest demand. Beyond the fair, we dive into the importance of gallery exhibitions across the city, with standout shows like Kelly Akashi at Lisson Gallery, Lisa Yuskavage at David Zwirner, and Kohn Gallery's 40th-anniversary exhibition. Finally, we reflect on the significance of Frieze LA for the city's evolving art landscape and its growing influence within the broader U.S. market.

I was approached recently by my old friend, legal scholar and philosopher David Koepsell (a fellow opponent of IP who appeared on the John Stossel show with me a few years back), (( KOL308 | Stossel: It's My Idea (2015). )) as one of his students at Texas A&M, Eliot Kalinov, was interested in my and Hoppe's work on argumentation ethics and related issues. I offered to have a discussion with Eliot about these issues for his research and publication plans, which we did yesterday (Feb. 18, 2025). We recorded it for his own purposes, and I post it here, with his permission, for those who might find the topics discussed of interest. He is very bright and asked very intelligent questions.

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 452. I was asked recently to guest lecture for a course taught to some mechanical engineering students at Colorado University Boulder (EMEN 4100: Engineering Economics) by the lecturer, David Assad. Assad covers some ethics related matters in the latter part of the course and asked me to talk generally about ethics and related matters. I discussed ethics, morality, politics, and science. I discussed ethics and its relationship to science and politics, and discussed about what science is, the types of sciences, ethics and ethical theories and the relationship to specialized ethics and morality in general, and its relationship to political ethics and political philosophy. I then discussed libertarianism in general, the nature and function of property rights, and then explained how the intellectual property issue can be addressed based on the libertarian and private law perspective.

For the 25th anniversary of American Football (Self-Titled), we take a detailed look at how it was made. The origins of American Football began with Mike Kinsella's band Cap'n Jazz, who were hugely influential in the punk scene in the Chicago suburbs. Steve Holmes went to high school with Kinsella and was inspired to learn guitar after watching Cap'n Jazz perform. Kinsella and Holmes became close friends and ended up going to college together and were roommates at the University of Illinois in Champaign. During college, Kinsella briefly joined a band with Steve Lamos called The One Up Downstairs. When that band broke up, Holmes and Lamos began jamming together and when Kinsella heard their practice tapes, he asked if he could join. The three of them ended up forming American Football in 1997. Their friends, Matt Lunsford and Darcie Knight were just getting their label Polyvinyl going in nearby Danville and they offered to release a three song EP in 1998. By the time they were graduating, they had enough songs for a full-length album, but the band was breaking up as Holmes and Kinsella were moving back to Chicago. Polyvinyl offered to release an album anyway so they booked time at Private Studios with local engineer, Brendan Gamble. The American Football (Self-Titled) album was eventually released in 1999. In this episode, Steve Holmes describes the guitar style he developed with Kinsella that was based on alternate tunings and shifting time signatures, inspired by music they were listening to at the time like Steve Reich, Nick Drake, The Sea and Cake and Red House Painters. Mike Kinsella talks about switching from drums to guitar and writing lyrics inspired by the few romantic relationships he had up to that point. His lyrics came from a diary and were heavily influenced by the melodramatic lyricism of bands like The Cure, Depeche Mode and The Sundays. Steve Lamos discusses his musical upbringing and deep love of jazz, which found its way into the American Football sound with his trumpet playing and compositional approach to the drums. The three of them describe the unique sound they found together and the unlikely story about how even though the band broke up early on, the album still managed to reach people years after it was a released. From recording the week after graduation to constantly having to borrow guitars, amps and tuners to embracing repetitive patterns and avoiding traditional verse chorus structures to singing through paper towel rolls during recording to lyrics about relationships ending and the transition into adulthood to the album cover of the now iconic American Football house, we'll hear the stories around how the record came together.

One of the clearest and most enduring legacies of the Middle Ages is the beautiful buildings left behind. Many of these buildings were devoted to God, using blueprints that no longer exist. But one of the most famous – and famously confusing – sets of architectural instructions was set out in the Bible, itself. This week, Danièle speaks with Karl Kinsella about the great twelfth-century scholar Richard of St. Victor, his efforts to make the vision of Ezekiel clear, and why this set of biblical blueprints is such an important contribution to the history of architecture.Enrol in one of Medievalists.net's online courses at https://medievalstudies.thinkific.com/ - use the coupon code 'BlackFriday' to save 25%

He received his MFA in Creative Writing from Eastern Washington University and his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Pittsburgh. Using podcasts as the medium to express his creativity, Ben Orlando started a podcast called “History Repeating Itself.” In it, he and his co-host, Michelle, uncover the connections between the past and the present, making predictions based on historical patterns and cultural trends. However, he rediscovered his buried passion for baseball when he started reading fiction novels about it over the summer. Ben traveled back to the good old days of collecting baseball cards and hanging baseball posters on the walls. This led him to create another podcast called “Midnight Library of Baseball.” As a sport-thusiast, I have been binge-listening and enjoying the calm, chill vibe of his show. Whether you play baseball, are an avid fan, or have a curious itch about this sport, this is the perfect podcast for you!  In this The Ripple Effect Podcast episode, Ben and I took the plunge into the world of baseball by discussing “Field of Dreams,” a 1989 movie based on the novel Shoeless Joe by W.P. Kinsella. The story follows Ray, an Iowa farmer who builds a baseball diamond in his cornfield after hearing a voice say, “If you build it, he will come.” This leads to the emergence of legendary baseball players' ghosts to play the game. As Ben and I went deep into the “Field of Dreams” rabbit hole, we conversed about family, relationships, and the importance of connecting with your own feelings. This is something you shouldn't miss!

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present Ronald Kinsella,  an artist, illustrator and author. He started using crayons, acrylics, oils and even airbrush, before moving on to the wonderful world of digital. He has an avid interest in UFOs and has written and illustrated numerous books, including science fiction. He has appeared on national television and also jointly hosts a paranormal radio show, ‘Twin Souls' along with his identical twin brother, Philip. In his book "Illusions —  Smoke & Mirrors of the UFO/ET/Paranormal Enigma," Kinsella questions the validity of a number of alien, UFO and cryptid reports which range from the unusual, to the very bizarre, throughout the world. This interrogation is not based on their authenticity, rather, questioning a much darker aspect to their origins and of a seemingly fragmented phenomena. Is it just possible we have been duped by something else? Something far more sinister? Is it at all feasible to suggest that many of the ghosts, cryptids, and alien encounters, reported by hundreds of thousands of people throughout time, have been manifested by a Force that is as cunning as it is ingenious? Has it also employed its tactics through the likes of Scrying, CE-5 Initiatives, along with the Ouija Board? And is Skinwalker Ranch — a reputed hotspot for paranormal activity — being used as its playground, knowing that interest of it has certainly arisen?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.
