Date: 12/09/2012

This episode discusses the idea of finding personal freedom by getting away from society and going to live in the wilderness. We talk about the book "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau, the most influential proponent of this idea. We also refer to the book "Into the Wild"  by Jon Krakauer about the life of Christopher McCandless, who left everything to live (and die) in Alaska. His story has also been made into a movie directed by Sean Penn. Special guest in this episode is Stefan Molyneux, host of Freedomain Radio.
