Post it Notes Episode #4
Featuring Christopher Cook of THE FREEDOM SCALE
Hey friends!
It’s that time again.
The next episode of the podcast is here for your viewing/listening pleasure.
This week, I’m so happy to share with you my conversation with one of the very first people I met on Substack, Christopher Cook.
In fact, I found the Freedom Scale before I had even created Post Post Modern.
I don’t remember exactly which post of his I read, but it most likely was a well-thought out piece about anarchy which would draw my attention, as it’s kind of my thing.
I commented. He wrote back. I commented, he wrote back.
It continued back and forth like that until, before I knew it, we had woven a bit of a web and made a connection- and now here we are sharing our first conversation with you. He is refreshingly open-minded and optimistic.
Please relax and enjoy as we discuss details about his Stack, his book and his writing, and his ever-evolving ideas on what freedom is and how to achieve it.
After I left the left, I traveled to some strange places during a short deconstructive phase. Then, while writing my book The Freedom Scale, I took a deep dive into the classical-liberal principles undergirding the ideology of the right. This undertaking wrought a profound change in me. Ultimately, through reasoning and research, I realized that all governments are a moral problem. I know “anarchism” is a scary word, but if you stick around, I believe I can convince you to consider some new ideas.

I love this idea that you’ve been birthing so beautifully. Such a treat to get to know the personalities behind the writing. May both you and Christopher continue to grow and expand your reach - on this platform and beyond!!! 🤗💙💫
I’ve been looking forward to this. 😊 It’s nice to put a voice and mannerisms to Chris’ posts. I knew y’all would have a great repore after watching all the back’n forth these months, and you did.
I’ll be the first to admit that I am kinda the ketchup stain on the dress here. I’m an auto mechanic from Tennessee, an eight year vet of the Gulf War era. So I found myself listening to Chris, not much differently than listening to Rush reading a brilliant piece from some erudite conservative author. Wow, that pinhead knows what he’s talking about! So, yeah Chris, you have my blue-collar seal of approval. Probably only because you’ve learned to be nice to dumbasses like me, which gives me encouragement to listen long enough to figure out what you’re talking about. 🤣 See, there’s another potential 10,000 you’ve saved.
Another awesome interview Jacqueline! Much love to the both of ya’ll!
