Kicking the Dragon: Confessions of a Tax Heretic by Larken Rose Just watch this video today, and though it would be great to support such an amazing, unstoppable man. His contributions to the community have been extraordinary for a long time. An inspiring man.…

just listened to The Sovereign Individual (audiobook, because i am NOT a book person and adhd makes sitting still with pages feel impossible). still hit me harder than almost anything. the whole idea of actually finding sovereignty and freedom while this world keeps turning into a totalitarian…
