Episode Notes

Andrew Sanchez tells a story that runs from childhood dysfunction and ADHD medication to chronic pain, addiction, homelessness, and his journey from anti capitalist to anarcho capitalist.

He shares how radical honesty and a judge's mercy opened the door to mental health court, how a four leaf clover landed at his feet the day his record was cleared, and how typing what is money into YouTube led him to the show and to Bitcoin. They also cover the cobra effect, Rene Girard and mimetic desire, the difference between logic and reason, a priori versus a posteriori reasoning, and why he who has a why can bear any how.
