Sure, Stef.
Somewhere in 2001 I was watching "Commanding Hights" on PBS and it mentioned Hayek. We have already conceived out first child, so I got much more receptive to any knowledge related to how the future would unfold. I read his "Road to Serfdom" and then "The Counter-Revolution of Science: Studies on the Abuse of Reason" which was my first introduction to philosophy and few more works,
Then I discovered LRC and Mises Institute and went through Austrian school, along with a few of the main "evil" works, like "Capital" and "General Theory". When I was solidly educated in Austrian economics, I went into libertarian philosophy, starting with Bastiat through Rothbard and culminating in Hoppe. Everybody comes to Hoppe...
I have been trying to enlighten people, but since I almost exclusively target people with children - who have little time for such matters, my success has been pretty limited. I have high hopes that the coming crisis will male people more receptive to the ideas they once heard, so I mostly concentrating on getting them into survivalist mindset.
I've met some libertarians in Manhattan and Brooklyn but they seem to be preoccupied with some frivolous nonsense rather than practical preparations and cooperation. Big disapppintment...
