Sane Money for a Sane Society Nations Of Sanity 2024-07-28 | A brief video speaking about the ultimate solution to our fraudulent money system and the inflation that comes from it.The Nations of Sanity project presents the solution of establishing the NAP (Non-Aggression Principle) as the law through a universal peace agreement. That demand is the sole demand of the Nations of Sanity and we assert that establishing this principle as the universal terms of peace is both an logically undeniable moral truth and a self-evident solution that provides the only coherent foundation for a sane and free society. Upon this foundation of sanity we need sane money. I think an indexed currency is a no brainer and I invite everyone to tell me if/why I am wrong.www.nationsofsanity.com

Hoppe is wrong on property rights and Ancap society. Nations Of Sanity 2024-03-19 | Following on from my 2 videos about the debate on national borders, where I gave my arguments against the enforcement of national borders, I have decided to do this video explaining that Hans-Herman Hoppe (and possibly also Dave Smith) is not only wrong on the national borders debate but also wrong with their definitions and understanding of property rights and what an Anarcho-Capitalist society really could or should be. So rather than focusing on the border issue I wanted to take this time to explain where they are wrong on property rights as a whole and how an Anarcho-Capitalist society can operate and how it most certainly cannot operate.

Why is nobody else saying this? Nations Of Sanity 2022-04-27 | The question is in the title. I say at the beginning of this video that I have a question for people who are watching, but I do not articulate precisely what that question is. I just rant about why I am asking it, without specifically clarifying the question. So for those of you who might be confused by this video, the question I allude to is the title of this video. Why is nobody else saying this? Why is nobody else supporting the assertions and proposals presented by the Nations of Sanity project? Why, when it is as undeniable and self-evident as I claim, am I the only person advocating for this? WTF is wrong with everybody? This is not rocket science. This is basic, self-evident and undeniable truth.
