LOOOOOOOOOONG overdue for one of these, so here it is, and extra-plus-sized to compensate for lost time.

Join CJ as he shares & responds to messages from listeners on:

• More thoughts on the historical evolution of Islam
• Whether there’s any instance in which CJ might consider voting
• The electoral college
• The Republic of Cospaia
• Historical fiction novels
• Safe haven countries in the event of World War 3?
• Whether or not the mainstream may be right about things like economics and politics, and CJ & much of the audience of this podcast are crazy
• Chris Kyle
• Why are there so many different views on history?
• Historical examples of anarchism (or something close to it) in practice

Thanks to Max, Penny, Ken, Jan, Kent, Jacob, Darko, Rainer, Rick, & Ary for their questions!

(First off:  Apologies in advance for the audio quality drop-off after about the first half-hour — had an equipment SNAFU but had to just go on with backup gear in order to get the episode recorded during the narrow window of time I had this week to do it!  I’ve got it solved for next episode, though.)

Once again we dip into the listener mailbag to discuss some thought-provoking email questions from DHP listeners.

Join CJ as he discusses:

• Advice to a high school senior about whether or not to go to college
• How to deal with the prevalence of demonization towards Muslims and other groups that’s becoming more prevalent in America currently
• Whether nuclear weapons have actually made the world safer, and speculations on what might become of heavy-duty weaponry if a transition to a stateless society occurred
• How to deal with a family member’s staunchly statist significant other
• How Americans should feel about their history, and whether or not America’s best days are behind it

Thanks to Caitlyn, Brett, Jim, and Leo for their questions!
