I met Irwin and his sons at the 2004 FreedomFest in Las Vegas. He was a good man and very right and sincere. What the filth in the government did to him was terribly evil. One day the ground where every IRS building stood will be down with salt and a monument will be built at each one listing all the victims of a century of wickedness.
I’ve been reflecting on this episode in which the topics of leaving a legacy (i.e. inheritance) and how one can’t change the world, despite a youthful ambition. Noted was Doug’s lack of enthusiasm as to the collaborative yet unwritten masterpiece book aptly titled ‘Renaissance Man’. Sometimes we (as Libertarians) feel like individual entities in the world surrounded by plebs and NPCs who seem oblivious to the debasement of currency, lack critical thinking skills, and pursue whatever the latest Jacobin inspired social justice movement the globalists happen to be pushing at the moment. I think this unwritten book represents more than just another title amongst millions at Amazon.com, but rather as hope that we as Libertarians yearn for in the hopes of inspiring the next generation to continue our legacy.
At the same time, I am inspired and relieved that anarcho-capitalist Javier Milei is coming to power in Argentina. I think this event represents an inflection point in modern history where one individual has the opportunity to change the world, perhaps similar to Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. Unlike Napoleon, or Hitler intent on geographic expansion or world domination, I see a groundswell of libertarian minded principles for which gives me hope rather than immersion in the demoralization phase of ideological subversion of which we all are currently a victim of.
If Doug should indeed write ‘Renaissance Man’ it is not out of a duty or as service to others, or inspired by ego, but rather because he can. In fact, I think Doug is the only person who can write this particular book with the unique free thinking wisdom, style, and common sense perspective. What of future Javier’s, Libertarian-leaning young men to consider forgoing overpriced 4-yr college educations rather to go to cowboy school, or build houses at the Shelter Institute in Maine. I wish I had a libertarian mindset growing up instead of wasting so many years in debt induced academia rather than making and doing real things. It is not a moral obligation that Doug should write the book in question, but rather that one day a wandering future Libertarian lacking direction, may yet change the world.
Would love to hear Doug’s thoughts on this subject.

Soon. God's will be done. Amen.
