058 - Vít Jedlička: Starting a New Country in Europe

Liberland, Micronations, Claiming Free Land, Croatia, Serbia, The Singularity, Consciousness, Community, Free Republics. Timothy Allen talks with Vít Jedlička. Vit is the founder and president of the Free Republic of Liberland, a new micronation formed in 2015 which claimed an uninhabited parcel of disputed land on the western bank of the Danube, between Croatia and Serbia. This was my first time discussing the project on this podcast and, as a result my questions are quite rudimentary. Liberland’s story is absolutely fascinating and if this is your first exposure to it, you should definitely use this interview as a springboard to investigating the whole thing much, much further. Enjoy the conversation.

057 - Joe Quirk: Seasteading, Evolutionary Psychology & The Surveillance State

Seasteading, Flotels, Aquapreneurs, Evolutionary Psychology, Climate Change, Burning Man, Surveillance State, Distributed Problem Solving, Underwater Hotels. Timothy Allen talks with Joe Quirk. I really enjoy my conversations with Joe. The first time I met him was at our conference two years ago when I interviewed him for a film and it was instantly obvious that he is a great orator and overall extremely interesting guy.   This is a light hearted conversation about Seasteading. Joe is the president of the Seasteading Institute and extremely knowledgeable on the subject. I mean, from who else could I learn exciting new words such as flotel, coralcrete, aquapreneurs and seavilisation? If you listen to this podcast regularly, you’ll know how much I love new words. However, this conversation is also about the human condition and how best to use our innate ingenuity to stay as free as we can as individuals. I really enjoyed this discourse and in particular,  Joe’s takes on the world. He makes fascinating observations about this particular moment in history and I sincerely hope that they can help you understand your own path forward. I wish you all a very wonderful Christmas if that’s something you are choosing to celebrate in the coming days.   Enjoy the conversation.

056 - Marthinus Grobler: Free City Design, Fiat Architecture & New Urbanism

Urban Design, Modernism, The Elite Class, Progressivism, Fiat Architecture, Central Planning, New Urbanism, Dubai & The Emirates. Timothy Allen talks with Marthinus Grobler. Todays’ show is an episode about architecture & Free City planning with Marthinus Grobler. Marthinus is the chief architect at Tipolis, a company that I would describe as being at the forefront of planning, building and operating Free City projects throughout the globe.  I loved talking to Martinus.  Not least because he let me rant about one of my personal bugbears: Modernist architecture. However, during our discussion we also touch upon subjects such as urban design, progressivism, central planning, new urbanism, fiat architecture and I get Martinus’s opinion on what he thinks of the way that the design of the modern Emirates have evolved as a possible case study for urban planning in the future, something that has left me wondering whether skyscrapers and high rise buildings are a good idea at all.

051 - Adam Bartha: Free Markets, The European Union & CBDCs

The E.U., Freedom, Brexit, Open Borders, Bitcoin vs CBDCs, City Gentrification, Inflation, Money Printing, Tik Tok, Democratisation of Ideas, Free Markets. Timothy Allen talks with Adam Bartha. Today I’m releasing a conversation that I recorded just over 6 months ago.  It's worth noting that deciding which show to air each week is by no means an exact science and this episode has been near the top of my list for many weeks but it just kept getting bumped aside by interviews that had content that was more time sensitive. At any one time I have a pool of episodes to choose from since we record all our podcasts in person in batches at different events and gatherings that I attend.  So, as you are listening to this, bear in mind that the conversation was recorded in April. Nevertheless, there are still plenty of timeless insights and lots of up to date information plus some interesting predictions about the economy that turned out to be quite prophetic. My guest is Adam Bartha who is the director at Epicenter, The European Policy Information Center which is part if the Institute of Economic Affairs. As a gentleman who roams the political hallways of Brussels, I had a lot of questions for Adam about the E.U. and international politics in general which is something that both fascinates and infuriates me.  Alongside that we discuss topics such as freedom, social media, Brexit, open borders, city gentrification,  inflation and the impending battle between Bitcoin and CBDCs. Enjoy the conversation. LIBERTY IN OUR LIFETIME CONFERENCE ⁠https://libertyinourlifetime.org/⁠ TIMESTAMPS: (0:30) Introduction. (3:27) Think tank influence in Europe. (11:08) Social media presence and influence for think tanks. (15:01) Individual freedom and the EU. (24:21) Brexit and its impact on the UK and EU.

050 - Titus Gebel: Free Private Cities Book Update

Timothy Allen talks with Titus Gebel. Today we have Titus Gebel back on the show.  This time we’re talking about the update to his classic book ‘Free Private Cities: Making Governments Compete for You’.  What’s new?  What’s gone and what lessons have we learnt since the last edition was published just over 5 years ago. Of particular interest to me were questions that I had about the preferred architecture and design of Free Private Cities along with culture, ethics and a run down of the main innovations that have emerged since the last book. We end by discussing the COVID pandemic and how Titus predicts that a Free Private City operator would respond to something similar in the future. If you’re interested in the other 2 podcasts I’ve done with Titus, Try episode 036 for a deep dive into medieval city states and episode 034 for a broader discussion about the movement in general.

049 - Natalie Danelishen: Twitter, Homeschooling & Ending the Fed

Timothy Allen talks with Natalie Danelishen. This week on the podcast I’ve got another episode for you from Liberty In Our Lifetime and it's a light hearted chat I had with one of the newest additions to the Free Cities Foundation's team, Natalie Danelishen. I need to confess something before you listen. When we originally arranged to record this conversation a few weeks ago, the only free slot Natalie had in her busy conference schedule was the 2 hour window immediately after she arrived in Prague, so she ended up coming directly to my studio from the airport and from, what had turned out to be a rather long and sleepless 28 hour journey from the USA. Between the bouts of propping her eyes open with matchsticks, we did eventually manage to home in on a number of topics in our chat.  From Ron Paul, the Mises Institute and her mission to end the Fed, to homeschooling, inflation and how to win on Elon’s new Twitter platform when, like her you’re trying to spread ideas of freedom and liberty. It was lucky for me that Natalie’s such a good sport.  If truth be told, most other people I know wouldn’t have been so polite on that little sleep, so thanks for coming on and I look forward to part two some time in the not to distant future. Lastly, just to remind you all that the Free Cities Foundation has published three new books in the last few weeks.  There’s an updated version of Titus Gebel’s book Free Private Cities that has six new chapters including updates and lessons learnt from the movement so far. There is also Alex Voss’s new book Strategies for Liberty: Free Cities and Bitcoin and finally, Calvin Dukes's Entrepreneurial Communitites - An alternative to the State. All of these books are a fantastic read and can be find on our website and Amazon.⁠ Enjoy the conversation. LIBERTY IN OUR LIFETIME CONFERENCE ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://libertyinourlifetime.org/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TIMESTAMPS (0:30) Introduction. (4:30) Attracting Twitter followers & being a reply-guy.
