No studio this week, but plenty to talk about. Sal checks in from lunch in Florida on his way to Prague, where he's speaking at Dark Prague on agorism and crypto anarchy. First up, the hard news: Zano and Freedom Dollar were hit by an inflation bug exploit, and the fix meant rolling the chain back 30 days. Sal doesn't sugarcoat it. He explains why the rollback will cost trust with cypherpunks who value immutability, why some investors may actually see it as a plus, and why Zano's core value of private tokenizable assets isn't going anywhere. Freedom Dollar has held its peg thanks to heavy over-collateralization, and several privacy projects, including Firo and Quai, reached out to help. Sal also breaks down why NEAR flagging a transaction tied to the Bitget hack should concern anyone who values permissionless money, and why he points to THORChain as the alternative. Then a preview of his Prague talk, "Agorism and the Quantum Leap," built around three tools for going dark: privacy coins paired with non-KYC debit cards, 3D printing as a way around prohibition, and confidential assets that let you wrap coins like Bitcoin into Zano's privacy layer. Plus a short clip from Cypherpunk Week in Amsterdam, where Sal asked some of the biggest names in crypto and liberty what one tool they use to live free. In the second half, Mark Edge is joined by Jody Underwood of Education Options (EdOpt) to talk school choice in New Hampshire. They cover tuition-free charter schools, Education Freedom Accounts, runaway school spending, and why the families who could benefit most are often the hardest to reach.

State religious liberty laws are the part of this fight almost nobody watches. Supreme Court cases get the headlines. The statutes that decide whether a baker, a nurse, a foster parent, or a congregation ever ends up in court at all sit quietly in fifty state codes, and most Christians have no idea what their own state has on the books.Paul Mueller, senior research fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research, co-authors Religious Liberty in the States, an annual index now in its fifth year. It scores every state on roughly fifty discrete protections grouped into twenty weighted safeguard categories. Not aspirational protections. Not vibes about whether a state feels Christian. What is actually enacted.The rankings scramble most assumptions people bring to the map, and they make three things clear: legislation beats litigation, the red and blue shorthand fails here, and the libertarian objection to religious exemptions deserves an answer.Chapters:0:22 Guest Intro and Background5:48 How the Index Works13:33 Libertarian Tensions in Law23:19 Why State Protections Matter28:16 Reading the State Rankings37:12 Why Most States Lag40:06 Measuring Real-World Impact44:52 Getting the Report Heard47:53 Closing Thoughts and Podcast PlugAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★

In this conversation from 2024, Alex speaks with Matt Zwolinski about whether a truly "free market" exists, delving into concepts of freedom, coercion, and property rights. They examine critiques of markets from left-leaning thinkers, such as Robert Hale, as well as conservative perspectives, while discussing libertarian approaches to balancing coercion and freedom in market societies. Zwolinski also references his own Substack essays and reflects on ideas for minimizing coercion without dismissing critiques.

As Ohioans cast their ballots for who will become the next governor, the final result will make history, no matter who wins. If it's Republican Vivek Ramaswamy, he'll become Ohio's first Indian American and billionaire governor, as well as the first Hindu governor in the United States. If Democrat Dr. Amy Acton gets the most votes, she'll become the first elected woman and Jewish governor of Ohio. And if Libertarian Don Kissick upsets the two major party candidates, he'll become the first Libertarian governor of Ohio. "Sound of Ideas" host Stephanie Haney talked with each of the candidates in one-on-one prerecorded interviews lasting roughly 20 minutes each, and we're sharing those conversations with you today. The questions came from research on the candidates, as well as conversations we had this summer with voters at libraries across Northeast Ohio as part of our Listen, Engage, Vote initiative. We also asked for input from "Sound of Ideas" audience members on social media. First, we'll hear from Republican Vivek Ramaswamy, then Democrat Dr. Amy Acton, and then Libertarian Don Kissick. Guests: -Vivek Ramaswamy, Republican Candidate for Ohio Governor -Amy Acton, M.D., Democratic Candidate for Ohio Governor -Don Kissick, Libertarian Candidate for Ohio Governor
