Perfect, I would have loved to be there when Brett made his presentation. Something new here, amongst the constant overall argument. Brett introduces Murray N. Rothbard, it’s the first time that I hear of Rothbard, so I did a little bit of digging. Rothbard seems to have a much better approach to dealing with economics from what Brett is saying,…[Read more]

Marc Soer commented on the post, 043: Kids Are Not Defective (Introduction) 3 years, 9 months ago
The mind molestation that goes on with families and new parents is a great focal point in identifying how the state abuses those whom give up on there own creativity. This is not just about the children being treated like little experiments but also how far parents are willing to be manipulated. As a child I went through a similar experience,…[Read more]

LOL, hilarious, “that how we treated children and is was fucking perfect…”
The treatment of children starts with the assumption that children are inferior to adults. Brett you make a great point as to why parents don’t treat their children with respect and dignity which then makes them question their own upbringing. This is the exact reason…[Read more]

Thank you Brett!! This is great to hear.
There are two points I wanted to add here, we are conditioned to become soldiers and secondly we all need community.
I totally get Brett’s argument that anyone going to play part in a war is a psychopath. I’m not here to defend soldiers either but what I wanted to point out is that many of the…[Read more]

Take Two.
Sometime it’s just better to listen. Brett strings together several topics and lays it down for us to get the message here. I started with a comment essay and found myself going into the topics on a deep level, not realizing that the great thing on this specific podcast is that we are hearing a class lesson that should be taught in…[Read more]

Marc Soer commented on the post, 040 Keys (Installment #3): Transition 3 years, 10 months ago
Comparing the government to a gangster mob is nothing new, but what Brett addresses here is how many people would it take to disempower the gangster mob. What is pointed out here is the the schooling system is actually worse than the gangsters because in the case with the schooling system, a justification would be created to actually argue that…[Read more]

Marc Soer commented on the post, 037: UConn-athon! (Students For Liberty Discussion Part 1) 3 years, 10 months ago
As great as it is to have a group discussion, it really stumped the arguments Brett was conveying. If someone has a clarity or wants to get a different discription of the point sure by all means but for someone to pose an opposing challenge without hearing the argument in it’s own right is just arrogant. Brett clears this up in the beginning…[Read more]

Location, location and location. Brett’s response to this email is very interesting, showing step by step the logic he uses in the position that he stands on for un-schooling. I always struggled with this issue myself, trying to explain why unschooling is were the focus should be in “turning the page” over when it comes to creating better o…[Read more]

Beaty!!! Brett is amazing, one of the most talented people have have ever heard. I stated to listen to this podcast and was pretty annoyed by Brett’s passive approach but wow did he turn the tables. It was one of the most interesting podcasts I have listened to, I learned so much about the art of engagement. It was a classic case of the Morpheus…[Read more]

Marc Soer commented on the post, 030 (Supplemental): Ian Freeman and I Discuss Action As Education 3 years, 11 months ago
Listening to the podcast years later I’m curious as to what happened to Ian Freeman. So I found an article about an FBI “search and seizure”, they seized all his computers, claiming that he was involved in some illegal activities. The Freeman State Project has also made distance with him apparently. It’s to bad because he sounds very ballsy, and…[Read more]

I really just enjoyed listening to this interview. It’s like letting the chocolate melt in your mouth and just enjoying all the different flavours. As I write this I cant help to think how much Brett has helped me and others through his work. Listening to Jack talk about how he came to the realization that he had to leave school if he wanted to do…[Read more]

This reminds me ‘Remembrance Day’ here in Canada. “Everyone” gets a red poppy to place over their hearts. Being the inquisitive and curious being I am, I questioned the purpose of doing the red poppy thing I would bring it up with people. Boy was that a stir in the boiling pot of cult following that goes on around here. I received all sorts of co…[Read more]

Lol, Ronald Ragen quote of aliens is hilarious, and makes me wonder… Next. The leading topic of having empathy for those who act in a violent way based on their beliefs is a larger sign of the adolescence they still embrace as acceptable is a recipe for their own demise. Regardless of the argument these acts of acting out has no respect or h…[Read more]

It’s been a while since I got to listen to Brett’s School Sucks Podcast. Getting back into the swing of things for the year of 2017 I started off this one. It’s a great topic, one of the most important, like all the other Brett discuses.
Government’s attempt to solve social issues is always assumed that the result should benefit the peoples of…[Read more]

Reading Social Arguments – Andrew says “…don’t care what anyone has to say”. Look that might seem like a strong stance, but it’s also a way to fall into a bubble with self justification. “That’s a good way to be” Brett is just being facetious with the statement, we all know that it’s important to be engaged in the community, it’s the basis of…[Read more]

Listening to the first insert from ‘ReasonTV – Obama’s New New Deal: As bad as the old new deal?’ my ears perked up when I heard that the author was mentioning it was Keynesian economics that pulled the USA out of the depression not FDR. I don’t care much for FDR but I will say that he could have made things much worse, I think he played a line in…[Read more]

Very educational podcast on the character of the USA education system and the USA Government, the podcast gave me a huge overview of the introspective of how the individuals like Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton played different roles in ideology.
The whole ‘Sight Words’ teaching process was an eye opener for me, I never knew of thi…[Read more]

This was a great podcast, high lighting the current mindset of society in the USA. Without questioning the actions of specific events based on the “nationalism” instilled in the populous, Brett simply presents the cases as is and lets you come to your own conclusion.
Edward Bellamy seems to be quite the character, it reminds me of the mov…[Read more]

This is an introduction to what I would call the “phycological shift” activists go through. Brett goes into the expression of seeing the truth of his experience in the schooling system through his contribution in teaching history, this stirs up thoughts and emotions that Brett express and starts to have doubts about things he once felt very…[Read more]

I just watched the move and thought it was one of the best in the trilogy, the key things that popped out for me were few but really important. The doctor Galen Erso is captured on his farm. This is very symbolic in meaning, the idea of people rebelling the state starts with controlling their own food production, it also goes to show that someone…[Read more]
