One of my friends is a world-class attorney who is using his logic-driven, legalistic mind to convince AI to view humans as beneficial, even if AI attains “God-like” intelligence. He has been developing prompts and instruction sets that help various AI’s think in terms of Aristotelian excellence, or “aretē” in Greek, which was a foundational concept in Aristotle’s ethical philosophy that describes the virtuous character and actions that lead to human flourishing.

In a conversation between James Delingpole and Etienne de la Boetie2, they discuss modern governance, media manipulation, and alternative systems like voluntarism. De la Boetie2 critiques the concept of legitimate government, equating it to a scam while promoting voluntaryism as a means to achieve prosperity and harmony without government intervention.

In a recent podcast, James Delingpole converses with Etienne de la Boétie2 about political manipulation, the government’s legitimacy, and the concept of voluntarism. Boétie argues that individuals can thrive without government control through voluntary associations, highlighting successes in privately run services, and criticizing the media’s role in propagating state narratives.

Welcome to a special performance by Etienne de la Boetie2. He was also a speaker at Freedom Under Natural Law 3 and did a live presentation as well and had Mark Passio on as a guest, and that was fantastic. And now he’s back live again in Acapulco, Mexico. So, this is going to be a treat. This is going to be exciting. He is the founder of the Art of Liberty Foundation, also the publisher of “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed!, which is a fantastic book that everyone should have. The ultimate goal is an effort we call the Pre-State Project, which we would drop a hundred thousand copies of “Government” – The Biggest Scam and the upcoming companion book Voluntarism: How the Only Ism Fair for Everyone Leads to Harmony and Prosperity for All.

Zowe Smith interviews Etienne de la Boetie2 about reforming public health amid the complexities revealed during Covid-19. They discuss the high costs of healthcare, the impact of government regulations, and alternatives to traditional medical insurance. The conversation emphasizes the need for transparency and innovative approaches to healthcare funding and delivery systems.
