The Tom Woods Show, episode 1175.

Prepare to set fire to the index card of allowable opinion.

Your daily dose of liberty education starts here, the Tom Woods Show.

Folks, you know as well as I do, we are taught to display a superstitious reverence

toward the U.S. presidents who look down upon you from the wall

of your classroom. Well, nuts to that. Learn the real history of the presidents through my free

course on the subject over at freehistorycourse.com. Hi, everybody, Tom Woods here, talking to

Bill Ottman today about minds.com, M-I-N-D-S dot com, which is the leading free and open-source

community-owned social network where users are paid and rewarded for their efforts online.

It's a really interesting concept. It's taking off like crazy. And I'm always interested in

these alternatives to the mainstream, even though I do use the mainstream social media outlets.

This one's growing really fast. It's engineered for free speech. It solves a lot of the problems that we experience on other social networks and very, very much worth your time to check out.

Bill is the co-creator of minds.com as well as its CEO.

And before I turn to Bill, one quick note, make sure you listen all the way through after the interview

portion of the program. I'm going to be telling you about a contest we're holding, and if you win,

you can come on board the Contra Cruise with us for free, which is the cruise I do every year with Bob Murphy.

You can set sail with us for nothing.

We're giving away free passage to two lucky people.

Not just lucky people.

You've got to be cool and awesome, and we'll show how to demonstrate your coolness and awesomeness after I'm done talking to Bill Ottman, whom I'm delighted to

welcome to the show right now. Bill, thanks for being here.

Hey, thanks for having me, Tom.
