Hearty thanks to Chris Baker for having me on his Fountainhead Forum podcast. Chris knew Matt Gaylor, one of the most effective first generation activists spreading libertarianism on the Internet, and we chatted about Matt’s hellraising style. Chris has been a libertarian activist for most of his adult life; bantering with him about the changing prospects of liberty was a treat. I appreciated him drawing me out regarding many of the books I wrote. And I especially appreciated his “exposing tyranny” summary of my aspirations over the last decades.
