Please enjoy my recent conversation with Jackie Rae. Herein we discuss how she became a Voluntaryist, silence in the face of injustice, Stefan Molyneux influence, losing Facebook friends, permissive parenting, trust is more important than anything you teach your children, understanding natural consequences to actions, growing up with guns, her unschooling philosophy, never ending learning, escaping a life of coercion, the ends justify the means fallacy, true learning is entirely voluntary, indoctrination is involuntary and forced, learning and living are inseparable, central planners try to predict the future, respect your elders fallacy, change always starts with the individual, to receive respect one must first respect others, treat your children as you would a good friend or a dear neighbor, it’s not about control it’s about communication, teach reason by reasoning with kids, corporal punishment, individual psychopathic crime pales in comparison with State crime, live anarchy, be the example, legal plunder, forced association is not socialization and more!

If I had to make a general rule for living and working with children, it might be this: be wary of saying or doing anything to a child that you would not do to another adult, whose opinion and affection you valued.
