Episode Details

Jonathan Drake closes out chapter two of Spooner's Science of Justice, wrapping sections six through eight in one sitting. He builds the case that if justice is natural, it has to be immutable and universal, the same standard for everyone, everywhere, whether we are talking about ancient Rome or your neighborhood today. Expect a memorable analogy about contractors using different measuring systems to build a house, a candid take on why the Anglo Saxon era's civil wars were actually a sign of a healthy system rather than a broken one, and some sharp commentary on why a government without a fixed moral compass is free to rewrite its own rules whenever convenient. Jon also touches on Bitcoin as a defensive tool consistent with natural law, and shares a very relatable Amazon return story. Stick around for smoked meat talk, sponsor shoutouts, and a preview of chapter three's history lesson on how despotism became the norm.
