Welcome @adamkokesh! Happy to see you here. You and Stefan Molyneux introduced me to the principles of liberty 3 years ago. I think you did a great job with the book Freedom as it is compact and gets to the heart of libertarian philosophy quickly. I wouldn't call you a rip off artist (I know you were joking) for putting the "ideas [in the libertarian manifestos you've read] together in the way that creates the most effective conversion tool possible." Ahaha, you're not the only one! I do and others do as well. Let's not reinvent the wheel but instead allow individuals to build on it, add their own refinements, and make it better. Such is the free market of ideas right? :) Looking forward to more of your content! Together, with other freedom lovers, we will:
Cheers! Much love and respect,
