Guest: The Pholosopher - Price Gouging, Ben Shapiro Raps & Why Collectivism is Cancer

In this enlightening episode of the Free Thought Project podcast, hosts Jason and Matt welcome the insightful Pho Lloyd, also known as "The Pholosopher." Pho is a fervent advocate for anarcho-capitalism, voluntaryism, anarchism, and libertarianism, passionately supporting the non-aggression principle (NAP). She believes in the inherent right of self-ownership and argues against the initiation of force in human interactions, positing that adherence to the NAP can lead humanity to genuine happiness, peace, and prosperity.

The conversation kicks off with a thought-provoking discussion on the economics of so-called "Price Gouging," unraveling the misconceptions around government price fixing and highlighting the importance of allowing free market prices to adapt naturally to demand and supply dynamics.

The podcast takes a turn with a discussion on Ben Shapiro's unexpected and somewhat hilarious foray into rap music with Tom Macdonald, leading to a broader conversation on the evolution of rap music and its shift towards themes of self-improvement in the independent hip-hop scene. The dialogue then shifts to the intriguing political landscape of Argentina, focusing on President Javier Milei, an avowed anarcho-capitalist, and the significance of his revolutionary ideas reaching a broader audience. 

Pho shares her insights on the perils of collectivism, which she describes as a societal cancer, emphasizing the value of individual liberty and self-ownership. The episode also delves into Pho's latest creative endeavor, a children's book titled "The Unschooled Adventures of Jack and Pho," co-authored with her husband Jack Lloyd, a friend of TFTP and previous guest on the podcast. 

Join us on this episode as we explore a range of topics from economics and politics to music and literature, all woven together by the common thread of liberty and personal freedom. (Length: 1:04:58)
