Inflation, or affordability? (ep 313)
Dec 31, 2025Both sides of our political world have created a big problem with inflation! And both sides seem to be happy to put it off as an affordability problem that needs additional government help.
Milton Freeman did a good job describing how inflation really works.

Our War on Drugs! (311)
Dec 17, 2025Ron Paul describes the USA’s Venezuelan speedboat killings from legal and moral perspectives. Is our leadership really trying to save Americans from fatal drug overdoses? How about the much bigger problems with alcohol and nicotine?
And do we pick on a smaller country like Venezuela because they should be easy to bully? How about countries that are more involved in fentanyl like Mexico, China and some others?
What are US political leaders really up to?

From Gold to Chaos: The Psychology of Fiat Money After 1971 (309)
Dec 03, 2025(This is a rebroadcast of episode 199)
In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, we dive deep into one of the most defining economic turning points in modern U.S. history: 1971, the year President Nixon ended the Bretton Woods agreement and removed the dollar from the gold standard. This decision—often overlooked—set in motion decades of inflation, currency distortion, and financial instability that still affect every aspect of life today. Drawing on Dave Smith’s compelling explanation, we explore how radically different the world could have been if the U.S. had maintained a stable, sound money supply. Imagin...
Trump Derangement Syndrome (ep 308)
Nov 26, 2025We discuss the relevance of the psychotherapist from New York and his views on the Trump derangement syndrome. Julie points out that the condition originates from paranoia and has to do with the lack of perspective taking. She also discusses the relationship to the Father archetype in the current situation in the US of the positive and negative masculine.

Ron Paul’s Great Idea! (ep 307)
Nov 19, 2025Our country has a decades-long history of candidates promising to reduce war and spending. And then, of course, when they get in office, they seem to do the opposite, no matter which political persuasion. The only good news is that when the public feels deceived, they Elect the opposite party. But of course within a year it is just more of the same.
Ron Paul has reminded us that there is no perfection either by liberty or by tyranny. He suggested the solution is to introduce more individual voluntary choice into our system.

Secrets Make Us Sick (ep 306)
Nov 12, 2025This is a reboardcast of ep. 180
In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, Julie dives deep into the hidden psychological mechanisms behind secrecy and its impact on individuals, groups, and society at large. She explores how groups naturally create boundaries to protect their identity and cohesion—but at a high cost. When secrecy becomes normalized, it not only isolates members from the outside world but also distorts truth, weakens integrity, and impairs sound decision-making.
Julie connects these ideas to the broader political and social landscape, examining how excessive government document classification reflects an over-boundaried system that al...
Venezuela! Consenting Adults, Illegal, or Immoral? ep 305
Nov 05, 2025Ron Paul’s podcast explores the possible real reasons our government is focused on Venezuela drug trafficking. Maybe this is simply a purposeful distraction from other issues that are not working out so well right now. But maybe a large part of our population really does think it is a good idea to kill possible drug traffickers, in international waters, who may be trying to sell to willing adults in the United States.

It’s a Flawed Deal; But Trump is Great! (ep 303)
Oct 22, 2025The new and exciting Israel-Gaza deal proposed by Trump apparently has the same flaw as before. In other words, I have not heard an answer to the following questions concerning the long-term. Is there full equal citizenship? Or is there a separate state? Without an answer, we are doomed to witness perpetual abuse as before. The United States had a similar dilemma concerning slavery, and then concerning American Indians.
However, Megan Kelly points out how amazing Trump is no matter how much he exaggerates or boasts.

A Quick Review of the Science about Racism (ep 302)
Oct 15, 2025This is a rebroadcast of ep 168
In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, Julie reviews a report on racial bias published by the Association for Psychological Science. We take a deep dive into what modern research says about racism, bias, and systemic disparities—and how these ideas are often misunderstood in public discussions.
Julie explains the difference between racism, which involves hostility or intent, and bias, which can occur without conscious awareness or malice. We explore implicit bias (unconscious) versus explicit bias (conscious), and how these affect perception, behavior, and policy.
The conversation also ch...
Our Country is Flawed, but Who is any Better (ep 301)
Oct 08, 2025This is a rebroadcast of ep 173
In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, we take a deeper look at the idea that America is flawed—but who really does it better? Inspired by the honest insights of Ron Paul, we explore the structural, political, and cultural flaws that continue to affect freedom and governance in the United States.
While critics and patriots alike can agree the U.S. has serious issues—corruption, bureaucracy, surveillance, and economic manipulation—this discussion also reminds us that perfection doesn’t exist anywhere. By examining the Index of Economic Freedom, we compare...
More on tribalism by Victor Davis Hanson and what it means to the psychology of populism (ep 300)
Oct 03, 2025This is a rebroadcast of ep 198
In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, we dive deeper into the theme of tribalism and its psychological impact on modern populism. Drawing from the insights of historian Victor Davis Hanson, we examine how tribalism has developed in America and what it reveals about our cultural and political divides. We connect Hanson’s perspective to research on implicit and explicit attitudes, exploring how hidden biases shape group identity and influence social behavior.
Julie highlights the role of the elites and media in framing populism, often portraying its supporters as outsiders or...
The Show Narcos and our war on drugs (ep 299)
Sep 24, 2025This is a rebroadcast of ep. 119
In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, we dive into the Netflix series Narcos and connect its gritty storytelling to America’s decades-long War on Drugs. While Narcos shows the DEA and U.S. forces hunting down Colombian drug lords, the real question is whether U.S. policy fueled the very chaos it claimed to fight. Was the United States truly protecting its citizens, or did political interests, corruption, and unintended consequences make the situation worse?
We explore how prohibition, black markets, and government intervention shaped the rise of cartels, an...
The Movie "Darkest Hour" and Cognitive Diversity (ep 298)
Sep 17, 2025This is a rebroadcast of ep. 194
In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, Julie and Mike take a deep dive into the film Darkest Hour, starring Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill, set in the tense days before the Nazi invasion of the United Kingdom during World War II. We explore how Churchill’s leadership illustrates the value of cognitive diversity—bringing different perspectives, problem-solving styles, and viewpoints together to navigate crisis situations.
Our conversation connects the lessons of the past to today’s challenges, showing how cognitive diversity applies not only to wartime leadership but also to mod...
Is it Always the Government’s fault? (ep 297)
Sep 10, 2025(Rebroadcast of ep. 77)
In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, we tackle the provocative question: Is it always the government’s fault? While government intervention often makes existing problems worse, the truth is more complicated. Sometimes, the public itself resists needed reforms or rejects practical solutions—even when they could make life better.
We dig into how policies and cultural attitudes interact, touching on examples such as Rand Paul’s political positions, YouTube’s role in public discourse, and the heated debates over masking requirements. This candid conversation blends psychology, politics, and libertarian principles, challenging listeners to quest...
Does the Bill of Rights overlap with organizational psychology? (ep 296)
Sep 03, 2025We review the first 10 amendments to the Constitution and relate these to organizational psychology principles. We talk about freedom of expression, property rights, personal boundaries, and pushing the power down in the organization as far as it can go. While the Constitution structures the government to prohibit abuse of power, the Bill of Rights clarifies the individual liberty of the citizen.

Natural Rights
Aug 27, 2025John Locke came up with the idea of natural rights, which are much better than the instincts of our caveman ancestors! He called those natural rights life, liberty, and property. But of course as civilization has evolved It has gone a lot further than that. Dave Smith talks about some of the government abuses that force us into wars.

Group Unconscious (ep 294)
Aug 20, 2025In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, we dive into the concept of the group unconscious—the unseen psychological forces that drive collective behavior, ideology, and political movements. How do mass beliefs form? Why do groups act irrationally? And how can individuals break free from destructive collective thinking? We explore these questions from a libertarian perspective, examining how psychology and politics intersect in today’s culture.

Just Let Them Have Their Socialism! (ep 293)
Aug 13, 2025Thank goodness the cancel culture world has begun to allow true free speech, with the use of the Internet! (Maybe we should be thanking Elon Musk and possibly Trump!) Governments have always attempted to control communication to the masses, and socialist systems have been the worst.
But in today’s world, maybe we should just allow these socialist style cities and states to try out their idiotic ideas. With our evolving free speech, the population should eventually see the poor results. Finally!

Aug 06, 2025We talk about the very sensitive subject of politics and homosexuals. Julie gives her views on homosexuality from the evolutionary perspective and touches on the new research that hormone disruptors may be responsible for sexual differences and transgender characteristics. We look at the issues with shame versus pride, especially how sensitivity restricts scientific inquiry. The libertarian principle of live and let live, and pride in achievement rather than identity, are discussed.

Open debate is what works (ep 290)
Jul 23, 2025This is a reboardcast from Feb. 14, 2021
In this thought-provoking episode, we explore how open debate fuels both psychological growth and a truly free society. We dive into the principles of civil discourse, cognitive bias, and how psychological defense mechanisms often shut down meaningful conversation. By examining real-world examples—from political polarization to online cancel culture—we reveal why open dialogue isn’t just a libertarian ideal, but a psychological necessity. Tune in to discover how freedom of speech and mental resilience go hand in hand, and why fostering debate is the only path toward clarity, growth, and libert...
There’s Nothing to See Here! (ep 289)

But at least Ron DeSantis has presented a possible escape. Just convince Elon Musk to lead an effort for a balanced budget amendment.

It seems like a better idea would be to encourage a more prosperous population by showing good free market example.

Humanity’s Projection Often Turns Into Needless War! (ep 275)
Apr 09, 2025We used to think that greed and male-male competition explained how almost every civilization turned to big government and unnecessary war. But these incentives just did not explain the resulting hatred and intensity. It turns out that Freud and Jung explained an additional powerful weakness in humans that snowballs from the personal to the group, race, country, and political levels.

Trump's Counter Revolution; What happened in the United States? (ep 270)

Julie compares this to organizational theory of how groups move from their original work and original mission to become self interested living systems. As a living system, the group can defend itself and be unconscious of how it cheats. We are seeing examples of this defensiveness now as the counter revolution continues.

Why Most Decisions are Usually Wrong (ep 258)
Dec 04, 2024This is a rebroadcast of an earlier episode from August 4, 2022
Julie reviews a letter sent by the Louisiana governor who explains his position on a legislative matter. She points out the "feeling" value system that predominates in the letter and the style of the humanitarian-based, political left. We discuss how the four cognitive styles are needed to address any problem and point out why decisions are usually wrong-- because they over-emphasize one out of the four cognitive frames. All four are needed for balanced decisions.

Tarrifs with Milton Friedman (ep 257)
Nov 27, 2024in a perfect world, all taxation would carefully avoid disturbing the free marketplace. However, in our imperfect world, taxation seems to have a lot more to do with politics than sound economics.
Apparently tariffs are a form of taxation, and maybe even a little worse than our wild income tax. Let’s hope Elon Musk and Vivac Ramaswami can help our country approach flat income taxes and minimal corruption.

Election Observations: "My Boyfriend's Back" (ep 256)
Nov 20, 2024Julie proposes three observations about the election. A full return of the positive masculine depicted in the election of Trump and particularly in his cabinet selections. Secondly she talks about the zigzag process between the left and the right political sentiments and how that's the natural flow between the instincts of warmth versus competence. We discussed how that can be corrupted by unchecked power. Finally we observe that the system works despite the fact that it's taken 40 years and the destructive elements of the various industrial complexes.

(And stop existing wars, also work some sort of alternative deal with the military industrial complex.) Bring the economy under control, using tools like the budget, federal reserve, and removing collusion with big business. Expose the media when it is not truthful and emphasize the first amendment.

Jordan Peterson's review of trumps personality (ep 254)
Nov 08, 2024Julie discusses the presentation by Jordan Peterson regarding the Big Five factor personality model and Donald Trump. According to Peterson, and Julie agrees, Trump is extremely extroverted and highly conscientious. Where as Peterson considers him probably agreeable, Julie thinks he is more middle of the road on agreeableness. She believes temperament style and cognitive style derived from the Myers Briggs might also better characterize Trump as an artisan and extremely quick in responding in real time to challenges and opportunities.
She agrees with Peterson that efforts to classify Trump as narcissistic or dictatorial lack validity.

Why is there war? (ep. 253)
Nov 06, 2024Rebroadcast of ep 35
There is plenty of Biden administration incompetence in our departure from Afghanistan. But the real problem is much bigger. Our society is way to accepting of war in general, and we are too accepting of liars who get us into these wars. What ever happened to prosecuting liars and to our country’s check and balance procedure of declaring wars?

Jordan Peterson's Predicament with the Psychology Board (ep 252)

Scott Adams describes the humorous side of the predicament, especially the idea that there is no one in Canada that is volunteering to teach Jordan Peterson about social media.
Julie's first hand experience with regulatory boards and especially when elites are given power over others, predicts that Peterson's efforts to resist or to make rational the interaction, will not be successful.

This type of finding complicates issues when it comes to trying to be fair to one group-- without being unfair to another group. The finding is contrary to the idea of oppressors and victims seemingly put forth in Critical Race Theory. We also briefly discuss issues of selection testing.

According to one survey 28% of Democrats condone murder of a political opponent. We listen to an excerpt of Martin Luther King's "Up to the Mountaintop" speech he gave in Memphis the day before he was assassinated.

But free enterprise is an easy target for criticism because it is so accepting of the pursuit for self interest. And as in all systems, it is vulnerable to the bad influences of government collusion.

ASSASINATION & CONSPIRACY CONSIDERATIONS (ep 239)

And he is incredible at revealing flaws in the deep state, including the Secret Service. As with all things concerning the deep state, we have to ask ourselves: is this just incompetence, or is there some devious intention behind it?

The deep state lawsuits are about fairness, not about avoiding a democratic November vote. And, first Stormy was a consenting adult but now she was a scared girl.

Circumstances like: amount of Japanese bombing before the nuclear attacks, American lives lost before the nuclear attacks, and the extent of worldwide famine and starvation related to the possibility of extending the war.

We listened with frustration to an episode of Stuff You Should Know, in which they blame sellers for inflation in this country and call it Greedflation. The problem was that they were very close to seeing the truth, which is that government printed money causing the inflation to begin with, and then colluded with businesses to control natural competition.

Yet, 69% of the politically obsessed portion of the elites, and over 1/3 of all elites, report that they are willing to cheat to get their way.
