Jeff Till’s Five Hundred Years

Podcast: School is for Poor People

by Jeff Till

Here we go deep into public schooling and home education again, figuring out if school is or should be a form of poorness/poverty. We talk about the dead whore in the bathtub, how awful school really is, how parents don’t spend time with their kids, how to talk home education, what types of people went to school, helicopter parenting, conditioning for misery, learning, grades, un-learning for learning, programming, college and maturation, worthless diplomas,..

New podcast: Libertarianism – A political failure

by Jeff Till

Is libertarianism a political failure? Why enthusiastically yes! Here we talk about little corners of libertarianism, ask about Rawls’ veil of ignorance, the joyful libertarian discovery process, Ron Paul, Gary Johnson and libertarian politicians, your relationship with commerce, becoming an anarchist, libertarian guilt and what you are supposed to do, romanticizing oppression, feeling the burn of news TV, how I’m free, how I’m not free, having a how-do-you-do with your indoctrination, and cultivating..

New podcast: Doublespeak jointasode with Isaac Moorehouse

by Jeff Till

Praxis CEO, public free thinker and BFF Isaac Morehouse joins me to expand on a Facebook post he wrote on “doublespeak” or “doublethink” where a policy idea is mistaken (or purposefully replaced) a more genuine objective or desire. Here we talk myths about school, the law, the military, welfare, and regulation. Enjoy! Just about every argument for school is actually an argument for the value of education that proves nothing about the value.. Read More

Podcast – The Curse of the Busybody Conformist Consumers

by Jeff Till

In this episode, I discuss how being constantly ‘busy’ is probably a bad thing and that most people don’t properly balance their time with their consumption and life changes. I try to make the case that being “acceptably busy” is a conformist notion that has spread to every aspect of people’s lives. I steal a clip of Tim Ferriss. I also bizarrely get into the documentary “Lost Boys” about relocated Africans. As always,.. Read More

Podcast: Singularity Bros and Jeff’s BIG problem

by Jeff Till

Jeff discusses the upcoming technology singularity where tech gets so good that we can’t tell what great new thing is coming next. VR! Driverless cars! Artificial intelligence! Nanotech! Life extension! He then explores why he’s optimistic about technological unemployment, not so optimistic about the idea of a “basic Income guarantee” and a new idea on how to do singularity-style charity. The last hour is Jeff’s appearance on the Singularity Bros podcast where he.. Read More

Podcast: Separation of church and state: what’s really sacred to us?

by Jeff Till

Today we discuss how sacred the idea of “separation of church and state” is to our national dialogue. Yet, for many of us, there are more issues even MORE sacred than religion. How about healthcare? Or consumption? Or family itself? Are we hurting children by not separating them from the state and keeping them separate from the market? This is a quick one. Also, check out on iTunes if you use the podcast.. Read More

Podcast: Disney Fun Time and The Destruction of the Family

by Jeff Till

Explorations of my recent Disney Dream ocean cruise, an analysis of different types of entertainment, the failure of the kids club, why people go on vacation to be uncomfortable, how Disney owns Star Wars in worse ways than you thought, the poor cruise ship workers and our Western fate, when I worked at Disney, and parental death as both plot device and a reflection of our dissolving families.   No need to read..

Podcast: The F-Word in America or The Separation of Healthcare and Market is Humanity’s Suicide

by Jeff Till

New podcast.  Fun topic today: Fascism in America.  This podcast reviews why the pejorative nature of the word “fascism” may prevent many people from realizing that America, economically, is in, or at least heading, into a dire fascistic state. We discuss the implementation of fascism through its government tools, review 16 industries that represent the bulk of America’s “productive” economy, take a deep dive into why affordable healthcare is actually illegal, and review..

Podcast: On Obligation and Duty: Tyranny of the Alarm Clock

by Jeff Till

Here a new podcast on Obligation, Duty and striving for personal freedom.  It’s a long one at almost two hours, but there’s some fun and interesting stuff in it.  It starts with some Ayn Rand, touches into Steve Martin and Peter Gibbons, goes into and then leaves Price Waterhouse, ditches my wife’s book club, takes a nap, sleeps in, does a little Harry Browne, worries about doing what you love, and features Dave..

Talking about home education

by Jeff Till

This is the last bit of book not yet posted on the site.   I think you’ll find that most people you encounter, even close family members, will reject home education without giving it a second’s thought. If they begin to even sniff some of the reasons why you may find school to be bad, they’ll become hostile and defensive. This is because, in all likelihood, they know the truth about school in..
