Episode 46: Kyle Mack – “OK Boomer”

Kyle Mack is a study in the new self-made man. As he takes a possibly permanent break from pursuing a dual degree in business and psychology, and a perhaps less permanent break from a prosperous career in political activism, Mack is riding through his twenties on a wave divined by his entrepreneurial spirit. Monetizing his hobbies may look like a book or a podcast, but, any which way, Mack intends to continue his own brand of libertarian anarchy, melding the fiscally conservative/socially liberal libertarian stance with a “non-aggressive advocacy of property rights” of both self and possession. What that ultimately seems to translate into is an assertion that the governmental institutions held untouchable for generations are, in fact, quite touchable. “We’re being lied to, and have been, by these untouchable institutions,” claims Mack. And the time has come for that “religiosity of government” held by traditionalists and boomers to stop as generations unite in common efforts toward a progressive and inclusive new norm.
