>Talk about bougie shit. $245 dollars to listen to pseudolibertarians and share space kid-pissed pool. I had only been in Mexico once before: I spent about 6 hours in Juarez in about 1972 with my father and grandfather, while we were on our way from Kansas to California. Back when Juarez was generally safe to go to. I didn't get enough data to determine the "libertarian-ness" of the typical attendee. It was an excellent hotel. I don't know how many "stars" it rated, but it was called the Mundo Imperial. >> "How to find love in anarchapulco" >ROTFL I found out that I have groupies! I got recognized at taxi pickups and on buses. More of them seem to be male, however. <sigh> >How did it feel to share stage with Lauren Southern? Unfortunately, I was busy preparing my speech, and missed out on her presentation. I will definitely be watching her, and other, presentations when they become available on the Internet in a few days. I did meet, and then later saw the presentation of, Roger Ver, nicknamed "Bitcoin Jesus" for his promotion of Bitcoin and digital currencies in general. I had previously read a lot about him. Amazing work. At the end of his last-day presentation, he called my presentation "the best" at that convention. Naturally, I am very grateful. >Also, what'd you talk about? The obvious: My AP essay, 22 years later. https://cryptome.org/ap.htm Explained for the unitiated what it is all about, the fact that nobody seems to have found a flaw after all this time. Explained that I fixed David Friedman's "Hard Problem", and that he hasn't yet acknowledged this fact, even with the 2014 published third edition of his The Machinery of Freedom book. http://www.daviddfriedman.com/MyTalks/MyRecentTalks.html https://voluntaristicsociety.liberty.me/national-defense-the-hard-problem/ × I really needed about 20 more minutes: They gave each speaker 40 minutes. They should give them 55. There was a suggestion at the end of the conference that they increase the time from 9am to 9 pm, which would allow the extra time. Jim Bell
