Greg Gutfeld Wants To Blow Your Mind

Anarcho-capitalism is the only answer. I cut my teeth on the techno-utopianism of Kevin Kelly and the pharmaceutical optimism of Jay Stevens (authors of Out of Control and Storming Heaven in the mid-nineties.

It took awhile for the implications of both these books to fully sink in, but when it did, there is no looking back. It's why Red Eye is such an interesting show to watch. On the surface, the lighter tone of Red Eye is a refreshing change of pace from the pompous, oh-so-serious tone of the O'Reibermann monster.

Those guys are the broadcasting equivalent of brussel sprouts. Even when he is talking about waterboarding, the host of Red Eye, Greg Gutfeld can do it with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye.

On a deeper level though, I think Gutfeld really gets it. If we haven't read the same books, then we've certainly come to the same conclusions about drug legalization and global warming. On his television show, Gutfeld tends to soft-pedal the implications of his ideas, but if you follow the link, you can see the truly radical direction of where his ideas are going.
