Karl Hess was one of my heroes. A brilliant mind. An individualist's individualist.

His Wikipedia entry reads:

Karl Hess (May 25, 1923 – April 22, 1994) was an American national-level speechwriter and author. He was also a political philosopher, editor, welder, motorcycle racer, tax resister, atheist, and libertarian activist. His career included stints on the Republican right and the New Left before embracing free-market anarchism.

In this video Hess advises libertarians at a 1984 Maryland LP meeting on how to live freely in our unfree world, with purpose and without compromising libertarian ethics.

This video is for those who have concluded or are coming to conclude that attempts to achieve liberty through political action are probably not going to be as likely to lead to the spread of liberty (not to mention personal happiness) as living a purpose filled life.

Enjoy!
