What makes some people supercommunicators? How can you become one too? This is the central lesson in Charles Duhigg’s bestseller Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret of Communication. Charles and Chris dissect what makes messy conversations so great, how to ask deep questions, and whether women and men communicate differently. They also discuss the different rules for different technologies — from telephones to Facebook to Signal — and how cautious politeness may be the best method to communicate effectively online.

Liberty Explained - The Basics of Libertarianism
In 1633, Galileo Galilei was condemned by the Roman Inquisition for teaching that the Earth revolves around the Sun. His defiance became a symbol of individual conscience against powerful institutions. On this episode of The Chris Spangle Show, we explore the history of individualism versus collectivism — from Socrates to the Stoics, from Christianity and the Reformation to Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke and John Stuart Mill, and into the American founding. We also explore libertarian principles of ethical individualism, free speech, and personal responsibility, contrasting them with the dangers of conformity, censorship, and control inherent in collectivism. What you’ll learn in this episode: Galileo’s trial and its impact on science and freedom How Christianity and the Reformation shaped individualism The Enlightenment’s role in liberty and natural rights Ethical individualism vs. collectivist control Why libertarians defend conscience, speech, and voluntary cooperation https://youtu.be/q3Y7zGmoYaA 00:00 Galileo vs. the Inquisition 01:49 The Rise of Heliocentrism 02:42 Courage, Individualism, & Libertarianism 03:33 What Is Individualism?

What are natural rights, and how do they differ from legal rights? In this episode of Foundations of Liberty on The Chris Spangle Show, Chris breaks down core Libertarian principles on rights, freedom, and government power. Learn about natural rights, legal rights, negative vs. positive rights, property rights, and why Libertarians argue that rights come from our nature—not the state.

Chris Spangle launches a new series exploring the foundational ideas behind libertarianism. In this episode, he outlines eight core principles—individualism, individual rights, spontaneous order, limited government, free markets, the virtue of production, the natural harmony of interests, and peace.

Do I have to be “pure” to be a libertarian? Can I be a good enough libertarian? In other words, Is it possible to be more libertarian than another person? Libertarianism isn’t a monolithic or rigid ideology; one doesn’t need to adhere to a “pure” form to identify as a libertarian. It's a framework for social organization rooted in the belief that individuals cannot organize complex societies, necessitating a reliance on and trust in fellow humans. The path to embracing libertarianism, marked by relinquishing control, varies for individuals, and old beliefs shaped by prevailing political ideologies can influence this journey. While some might be perceived as "more libertarian" due to a deeper philosophical understanding or advocacy for radical solutions, the ideology accommodates diverse perspectives. Figures like Justin Amash, Murray Rothbard, and Ayn Rand exemplify this diversity within libertarianism. Though ideology is a constant measure for political positions, flexibility is integral for libertarian politicians navigating the art of compromise.

1 Can you punish a child under the NAP? What do libertarians believe about corporal punishment? 5:35
Can you punish a child under the NAP? What do libertarians believe about corporal punishment? Children should be guided and nurtured, not subjected to violence, due to their developing mental and emotional capacities. As noted by Dakota Hensley on WeAreLibertarians.com, children are unique individuals who require the guidance of family and community, emphasizing a collective responsibility. They are not property but young individuals whose form of individualism is distinct from that of adults. When parents fall short in their roles, the community is responsible for stepping in, and prioritizing the child’s welfare and development, potentially through forming a voluntary Child Protective Service. This dual support system shapes the child's worldview and interaction with their surroundings.

1 How can equal opportunity exist when so many have so much wealth? What would be done about the 1%? 4:36
How can equal opportunity exist when so many have so much wealth? What would be done about the 1%? Equal opportunity, though a sought-after ideal, remains elusive across various governance systems, including libertarianism. No society, regardless of its level of freedom or control, can claim absolute equality of opportunity in aspects beyond just education. In libertarianism, for instance, it’s unfeasible to mandate equal educational opportunities when affluent families have the means to elevate their children’s learning experiences. However, a distinction exists between open societies like the U.S. and closed ones like North Korea, where wealth and power are rigidly centralized. In more open societies, wealth is relatively fluid, with family fortunes often dispersing within a few generations, fostering opportunities across socioeconomic classes. In contrast, closed societies rigidly centralize and retain wealth within a select elite, stifling opportunity and mobility for the broader population.

The NAP is the only requirement members of the Libertarian Party must agree to. Is that a good standard? The Non-Aggression Principle (NAP) serves as a unifying ethos for members of the Libertarian Party, mandating a collective agreement to abstain from using force to achieve political or social objectives. Although the political landscape is rife with diverse ideologies, the NAP acts as a common ground for Libertarians, distinguishing them from other political affiliations. Instituted by the party's founder, David Nolan, in 1971, this pledge was designed to characterize the party as a non-violent political entity, especially significant at a time when violence was a common political tool. Despite its inherent imperfections, the Libertarian pledge is celebrated for its capacity to instill focus and cohesion among party members, transcending the multifaceted ideologies and beliefs that reside within its ranks.

The libertarian movement, still young and relatively small, contends with the appearance of gatekeeping due to its nascent stage and the intimate nature of its networks. Originating mainly in the 1970s, the movement has seen individuals attempt to assert dominance, forming distinct factions and perceived gatekeeping. Such divisions can sometimes hinder unity, exacerbated by the personal relationships within a smaller group where critiques can be direct and personal. However, gatekeeping holds limited power in the digital age, with easier access to diverse voices. Platforms like We Are Libertarians (WAL) aim for inclusivity, valuing all contributions to the movement. Depersonalizing criticism and fostering a more inclusive perspective can strengthen unity within the movement.

Liberty Explained - The Basics of Libertarianism
Is it imperative to have a moral society for libertarianism to work? Or will liberty make society function better? Libertarianism, rooted in the Nonaggression Principle (NAP), advocates for a moral society built on respect, and non-coercion, echoing the elementary morality of respecting others’ rights and properties. However, the foundation of government often contradicts these principles, as seen in systems like social security, which involves a forced redistribution of wealth. As private institutions diminish in influence, the government’s expansive role fosters a society where politics and power overshadow morality, leading to divisive and coercive practices. Given this dynamic, the expectation for society to organically evolve into a “more moral” state under the current political system is implausible. Liberty, as championed by libertarianism, underscores the necessity of upholding moral principles to facilitate a society that is not only functional but also just and equitable.

Can you be a Nazi or racist or nationalist and be a libertarian? While it is theoretically possible for someone to identify as both a libertarian and a racist, nationalist, or Nazi, these ideologies are inherently contradictory. Libertarianism is anchored in rejecting force as a means for political and social change and upholds individualism and individual rights. In contrast, ideologies like racism and nationalism often embrace force and collectivism to impose their beliefs. Libertarians emphasize the dignity of all individuals and seek to protect minority groups from the tyranny of the majority. In a free society supported by libertarian principles, financial incentives encourage peaceful cooperation among diverse groups, reducing the prevalence of ideologies that rely on division and force. Thus, while one might hold racist or nationalist beliefs personally, acting on or promoting such beliefs through force is antithetical to core libertarian values.

1 America is the only modern country without government run healthcare. Is it time for us to get with the times? 24:26
America is the only modern country without government run healthcare. Is it time for us to get with the times? The American healthcare system is outdated and expensive, yet "getting with the times" doesn't necessarily mean adopting government-run healthcare. High costs coupled with subpar service quality are exacerbated by regulations, tax laws, and federal mandates, as noted by Ron Paul in "Liberty Explained". Drawing a parallel with the evolution of cell phones, Paul underscores the rapid innovation achieved through free-market dynamics, something potentially stifled under centralized planning. The comparison extends to car insurance, a sector experiencing less government intervention and more consumer choice, fostering competitive pricing. Centralized control in health care, akin to government-controlled car insurance, could lead to inflated costs and restricted autonomy. The pandemic illustrated the perils of centralization, with political wrangling over resource distribution and regulatory bottlenecks impeding response efficiency. Thus, modernizing healthcare necessitates empowering individual choice and innovation rather than embracing a centrally planned economy.

What would education look like in a libertarian society? In a libertarian society, education wouldn't adhere to a one-size-fits-all model but would instead be characterized by diversity, adaptability, and innovation tailored to meet the individual needs of students. Unhindered by government monopolies, educational offerings would be more dynamic and responsive, fostering an environment where both teachers and students could reach their full potential. Traditional classroom settings would evolve, and alternative educational pathways, facilitated by internet access and technological advancement, would flourish. Parents, teachers, and communities would collaboratively shape educational content and methods, ensuring they are relevant and effective. Although education would not be compulsory, the innate drive for learning and societal norms would continue to motivate educational participation, fostering a system where intrinsic motivation and personalized educational experiences reign supreme.

Is my vote on a third-party candidate wasted? Voting for a third-party candidate isn't a wasted vote but an expression of one's genuine preferences and a refusal to compromise personal principles for the sake of supporting the lesser of two evils. Both major parties perpetuate the narrative of their indispensability, often urging voters to set aside their misgivings for "crucial" elections. However, a vote for a third-party candidate can signal a demand for better choices and catalyze significant political change. Every vote counts, especially in showing that there is a market for diverse political ideas beyond the duopoly. Moreover, the electoral college and gerrymandering often diminish the impact of individual votes, so voting third-party can be a potent means of voicing dissent and advocating for true representation. Each vote for a third party amplifies the message of the need for systemic change and diverse representation in politics.

Can the Libertarian Party "win"? Winning for the Libertarian Party extends beyond clinching presidential elections. Although the odds of a Libertarian candidate securing the most electoral votes in a presidential race are slim, the party leverages this platform to disseminate its principles to a wider audience. The national objective of the Libertarian Party, as a minority party, is to influence the policies of the major parties to enhance individual freedoms and constrain governmental intrusion. Local politics is a vital frontier where Libertarian candidates have more substantial opportunities to secure victories and demonstrate their governing capabilities, as evidenced by many Libertarians currently holding office. Furthermore, the party's influence is observable when policies proposed by Libertarian candidates are adopted by winning candidates from major parties. The transition of figures like Justin Amash and Laura Ebke to the Libertarian Party is also considered a victory, as it amplifies the party's visibility and acceptance, underscoring the power of social proof in politics.

Why Can't a Libertarian Party Candidate get into the Presidential Debates? The exclusion of Libertarian Party candidates from presidential debates stems from the control exerted by the Bipartisan Committee on Presidential Debates (CPD), which is explicitly designed to favor the two major political parties. Established after the 1980 election, when third-party candidates garnered significant votes, the CPD has engaged in practices that undermine the inclusion of third-party voices, such as selling sponsorships to major corporations and maintaining opaque operations. Despite its tax-exempt status, the CPD doesn't fulfill the requisite non-profit functions and has been known to share debate questions with candidates in advance. The committee's board comprises individuals with ties to the government, corporations, and the two major parties, further entrenching the exclusionary practice. Public pressure on corporate sponsors has proven to be a potential avenue to challenge this exclusion and promote fairer election debates.

What is The "NAP" or Non-Aggression Principle? The Non-Aggression Principle (NAP) is foundational to libertarianism, advocating against initiating or threatening force or interference with an individual, their property, or liberty. Though interpretations vary among libertarians, the core ethos is respect for others’ rights and property, encapsulated in the axiom “don’t hurt people and don’t take their stuff.” This principle distinguishes libertarianism from pacifism by permitting forceful defense against aggression. Mary Ruwart, in her book "Healing Our World," elaborates on this as the Good Neighbor Policy, emphasizing honesty, tolerance, and respect, alongside accountability for any violations of these ethical standards, encapsulating the essence of libertarianism.

How does one begin the road to becoming politically active? Embarking on political activism is as simple as taking the first step. There's no prerequisite for extensive political science knowledge; hands-on experience is often the best educator. Begin by identifying a candidate whose values align with yours and volunteer for their campaign. Initial tasks may include envelope stuffing, door knocking, distributing yard signs, or phone banking. Be cautious of taking on overwhelming responsibilities to avoid burnout. Engaging in campaign work should be a learning and contributory experience rather than a source of frustration.

Is Libertarianism more a mindset or a set of values? Libertarianism is both a mindset and a set of values, emphasizing personal morality and ethics in societal organizations. It advocates universal principles of not causing harm, respecting others’ belongings, and honesty. However, governments often operate on the principle that collective agreement can override these fundamental values. Adopting libertarianism requires a mindset shift, transitioning from established paradigms to individual and community responsibility, fostering empowerment and excitement for the opportunities it unveils. This ideology is illustrated by the “shopping cart theory,” where personal responsibility and market mechanisms work hand in hand to maintain order and address "bad actors." Unlike governments, which often employ force and coercion, libertarianism promotes peaceful, voluntary cooperation, underscoring the significance of individual rights and diverse, non-coercive solutions to societal challenges.

What is the single greatest thing about liberty? What is the greatest flaw of liberty? Liberty's greatest allure is the spontaneous order it fosters. This natural organization is evident in markets adapting to individual needs through the price system. An emblematic example of market efficiency is Leonard Reed's "I, Pencil", which illustrates the global collaboration and myriad components involved in creating a simple pencil, all without a singular governing entity but rather the "invisible hand" of the market. However, liberty's flaw lies in its demand for a significant shift in mindset. Entrusting a market-based system requires faith in fellow humans, challenging in societies with low trust levels. Additionally, libertarians, like everyone, can sometimes falter in conveying the essence of liberty compellingly, widening the trust gap.

To register to vote, visit your state's Election Board website or go to Vote.gov and follow the instructions provided, bearing in mind the registration deadlines to ensure your eligibility to vote in upcoming elections. Deadlines are in place to allow processing of voter data in time for Election Day. Although some states offer same-day voter registration, it is uncommon and raises concerns about potential fraud. After registering, you should receive a voter ID card or a confirmation letter by mail. It’s advisable to contact your county clerk or election board closer to Election Day to confirm your polling location, as it can sometimes change due to various reasons, including resource limitations.

What is Liberty? Liberty is characterized by the unimpeded freedom to make choices without external force or threats of violence, aligning closely with the concept of free will. It is a fundamental objective for libertarians, who advocate for individual self-governance, asserting that people are best positioned to make decisions for their own lives. However, this doesn’t imply a lawless society; laws and consequences still exist to address actions like murder, theft, or fraud that infringe upon others' freedom. In a society defined by liberty, individuals are not just subjects to these laws but active participants in shaping them, ensuring that the rules reflect a collective agreement and respect for each person’s freedom to choose. Learn Libertarianism - https://libertyexplained.com/ Subscribe to the podcast - https://link.chtbl.com/liberty-explained Video - https://youtu.be/B-ZKki1DVO0 What is Liberty? Liberty is the freedom to choose to do or not do a thing without interference from outside forces. The less outside interference in a decision, the freer we are. The most common form of interference being threats of violence or force if the wrong choice is made. Liberty is often associated with the idea of free will, which is defined by Wikipedia as "the ability to choose between different possible courses of action unimpeded." So What is the difference between Freedom vs. Liberty? They are often considered synonyms that mean the same thing. Let's look at the definitions of the words thanks to Wikipedia: Freedom: Freedom, generally, is having the ability to act or change without constraint. In philosophical discourse, freedom is discussed in the context of free will and self-determination, balanced by moral responsibility. (Wikipedia) Liberty : Broadly speaking, liberty is the ability to do as one pleases. It is a synonym for the word freedom. In modern politics, liberty is the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behaviour, or political views. Sometimes liberty is differentiated from freedom by using the word "freedom" primarily, if not exclusively, to mean the ability to do as one wills and what one has the power to do; and using the word "liberty" to mean the absence of arbitrary restraints, taking into account the rights of all involved. In this sense, the exercise of liberty is subject to capability and limited by the rights of others. Thus liberty entails the responsible use of freedom under the rule of law without depriving anyone else of their freedom. Freedom is more broad in that it represents a total lack of restraint or the unrestrained ability to fulfill one's desires. For example, a person can have the freedom to murder, but not have the liberty to murder, as the latter example deprives others of their right not to be harmed. Liberty can be taken away as a form of punishment. In many countries, people can be deprived of their liberty if they are convicted of criminal acts. Learn more about your ad choices.

Marshall Fritz founded the Alliance for the Separation of School and State and Advocates for Self-Government, and was perhaps best known as the creator of the World’s Smallest Political Quiz, a 10-question survey that places quiz-takers in one of five categories: Libertarian, Liberal, Centrist, Conservative, or Statist. Fritz passed away in 2008. In this video from a California Libertarian Party conference in 1991, Fritz gives an introduction to libertarianism by answering four questions about it: What are libertarianism’s basic principles? How does it compare to the ‘left’ and ‘right’? Who would be better off in a libertarian world? How can you prove the principles of libertarianism work?

Ronald Reagan began a long side-career of public speaking as his acting career closed out. He traveled across the country meeting Lions Clubs, Rotary Clubs, Chambers of Commerce and any other civic-minded local groups. This continued and intensified during his service as the General Electric spokesperson while hosting their sponsored television series. "The Speech" was delivered in various forms and to different audiences as each word was honed, measured and memorized. During the 1964 Presidential campaign, Republican party officials in California, who knew Reagan's powerful message and delivery, asked him to film a speech on behalf of the Republican candidate, Barry Goldwater. The speech was aired on October 27, 1964 and it was electrifying. Donations to the Republican party and candidates increased dramatically. The Republican Party took note and they targeted Reagan as a candidate from that point forward. He agreed in 1966 to run for Governor of California. He won two terms, and eventually won the Presidency. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…
