How to Reboot the American Empire with Wolf Tivy, Editor-in-Chief of Palladium
Wolf Tivy is Editor-in-Chief of Palladium Magazine. We discuss Wolf's theory of how a network of outsider seed institutions can reboot the US government; Palladium's aesthetic of Luxury Political Theory; why Palladium is structured as a non-profit; how they're layering in community features via Patreon; and why cloud countries and charter cities are unlikely to succeed without going through the US government.✦ Wolf Tivy: http://wolftivy.com/✦ Palladium Magazine: https://palladiummag.com/✦ Get Palladium's beautiful print mag: https://www.patreon.com/palladium✦ I write a free newsletter to more than 6,000 academics, founders, investors, and indie thinkers.

Samo Burja on Intellectual Legitimacy and His Business Model as a Private Researcher
Samo Burja is the founder of a consultancy called Bismarck Analysis, but he's interesting to me primarily as a theorist and researcher who has carved out an impressive niche for himself as an independent intellectual. I've invited Samo on the podcast to learn more about his ideas, but also to look under the hood of his larger operation because I think there's a lot to learn there, especially for all the rest of us who are finding our own ways to conduct professional-level intellectual work outside of traditional institutions.Samo's website: samoburja.comSamo's book, Great Founder Theory: samoburja.com/gftSamo's Twitter: twitter.com/samoburjaBismarck Analysis: bismarckanalysis.com✦ If you're doing intellectual work outside of institutions, check out IndieThinkers.org
