The Group Path vs The Hidden Trail At times, being a responsible and ethical man in today’s world can feel overwhelming. Our screens are filled with distractions of augmented beauty and sensationalized greatness that can leave us feeling like success is only achieved by staying with the group on the path. Our ancestral survival instincts make it challenging for us to separate from the group. Historically, separation from the group meant isolation in the wilderness and an increased risk of death. Fortunately, being separated from the group in today’s world no longer increases the risk of physical death, but provides the necessary space for transformation to take place. When diverging from the group’s sanctioned path and venturing onto a hidden trail, it can be challenging to see where the trail leads, for it’s covered with overgrown brush. Rest assured, you are not traveling uncharted land; this trail was once the path traveled a long time ago. You may question why you're walking this trail when the group’s paved path requires less strength and energy. Large rocks and exposed tree roots are sometimes stumbled upon on this trail, making it feel like returning to the group’s path would be wise; less resistance would certainly make the journey easier. At times it may seem like you're walking this trail alone and desire the comfort of walking with others on the group’s path, but do not give in to the temptation to return to the group’s sanctioned path. While it appears the entire group is walking together since they’re all heading the same direction, they are each walking alone, unsure of where they are being led. Those choosing to leave the comfort of walking on the group’s path will encounter fellow travelers on the trail, and new friendships will be forged. Soon, others will notice the trail and wish to leave the group’s path and explore the trail. While it will be exciting to have new travelers join us on the trail, we must ensure the trail doesn’t become the new group path. The trail needs to be reserved for responsible and ethical men who refuse to succumb to the distractions they left behind. Future travelers are depending on strong men to keep this trail open for those seeking to depart from the group’s path in the future. It's far past time for men of integrity to exit the group's sanctioned path, and stand together with other courageous men, in making the trail the desired way forward on this adventure we call life.
Alan Mosley at the Libertarian Institute wrote a great article about the impact Lysander Spooner has left on our society. Spooner pushed back against the established norms of his day, and was a strong advocate for liberty. Mosley sums up Spooner's writings by stating the following: "his writings remind us that freedom is not a gift from government but an inherent right that no government can legitimately take away". If you are like me and previously heard the name Lysander Spooner, but unfamiliar with the man behind the name, I strongly recommend reading Mosley's piece (see link below) for an introduction to Lysander Spooner, Natural Rights Maverick!

Great conversation on The @Peter McCormack Show #009! What I find interesting is the similarities between what's happening in England, and what's happening in the U.S.A. It's like you can swap the word England for U.S.A in this episode and you end up with the same situation. Give it a listen for yourself.
