Bob Murphy Crossover: How Should Libertarians Communicate?
Bob and Adam go over a recent incident in which the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire's controversial tweet caused a pair of FBI agents to try to intimidate Jeremy Kauffman. Instant viral video! But was it wise? Was it "worth it"?
00:00 – Intro. Adam welcomes Economist Bob Murphy of the Mises Institute and the world renowned Bob Murphy Show!
01:51 -- The "facts of the case" are presented and also some areas where Adam and Bob agree and disagree. Bob enters into evidence some of the more spicy of LPNH's tweets, along with the tweet in question.
09:43 – Adam lays out the problems he has with LPNH's activities on X, while pointing out some of the positives that come along with such behavior. Where's the balance? Also: often times "hurtful" looks like "racist", but the two traits aren't the same.
15:47 – LPNH said a person would be a hero if they did [the bad thing]. Adam and Bob strongly disagree. Also, Adam introduces the benefits of being "edgy", while arguing that it's probably not a tactic, it's probably a personality trait. Poker player Phil Helmuth is mentioned - negatively.
26:17 -- Adam and Bob discuss the Kauffman/FBI encounter. Was it "perfect"? Is it true that "you couldn't script it any better?" Adam and Bob break down the pros and cons.
32:57 -- Bob argues against Adam's point in the article that on net the tweet + the encounter was a net positive. A long and deep discussion on that matter from many angles ensues.
47:52 -- "Collapsitarianism" is discussed. Should we root for "it all to burn down" so we can start rebuilding a libertarian society? Bob makes a devastating point: Do the people who stop traffic on the roads for some cause attract sympathy? Or the opposite?
53:01 -- Adam asks Bob: The world is getting worse, but our movement is gaining momentum. How does it net out for you? Are you white-pilled?
58:06 -- Bob makes a great analogy to marketing funnels. Be aware of your "conversion rate", but also be aware of your "completely turning people off" rate. Both are important.
60:52 -- Outro. A message for X posters that Bob and Adam agree on: If you're going to be edgy, be funny. Always be funny.
