Why Capitalists Don't Exist
Attack Ads! The Podcast

Nullius In Verba
Attack Ads! The Podcast
For reasons I hope to make clear soon, advertising is not foremost on my mind right now. I made a realization that a great change will quite possibly befall us, and… I have no idea when. To understand my thinking on this, though, I feel it's necessary to give some background. Hence, some background in this Episode 275: Nullius In Verba.
