    For a 'genius', his drug argument retorts, which 'flustered' his opponents, seem weak to me. The comparison of Big Macs to illegal drugs, for instance, is a silly one. It's true they are both harmful to the human body. But the existence of one harmful substance doesn't justify the legalisation of a second one. Also, the comparison presumes that people arguing the case for keeping certain drugs illegal also believe in the promotion of junk food - they don't, necessarily.

      It becomes more a philosophical argument. Libertarian views believe in a free market society which includes both good and the bad. But ultimately working towards a more utopian society for how they see the world should be. Doing hard drugs may be harmful to an individual. But it is behind the idea of “the question isn’t who is going to let me, it’s who is going to stop me”

    @ 2:58:00 Ross should’ve been suspect of VarietyJones when he came out with the Life magazine pep talk because it made absolutely no sense. So Life magazine went bankrupt as a result of it selling more magazines than ever? Because the magazine cost to make was more than what it was selling for at a newsstand? WTF? That seems like the simplest problem you could ever have. Simply raise your magazine price to whatever suits you. I mean if business is that good and people love the magazine then you couldve probably gotten away with raising prices significantly and sure you’ll lose some cheap fucks but i wouldn’t continue to take a loss on every single magazine. So I don’t understand VJ’s logic on that one.

    This is an interesting listen so, kudos to the uploader.
    However, listeners should remember that the author invented absolutely everything that involves personal comments by the protagonist or the protagonist's train of thought, musings, etc. Ulbricht never gave any interviews for this book. The author is not, by any standards, a renowned novelist (check him out). The book seems to be more like a 'don't do this, guys' piece or a puff-piece for US law enforcement.
    I don't condone what Ulbricht did - he deserves a sever sentence - but this book is very, very weak. Minimum effort and massive speculation on what was going on in may of the protagonists' lives.
    A work of fiction based on facts.
