    Ep 3 - Statism, Data, and Liberty: Are Americans Losing Freedom to Numbers?
    Sep 8 2025

    In this episode of Play For The Libertarian Team, host Michael Scott is joined by Charles, Darren, and Burt for a deep dive into the role of data, statistics, and government control in modern America. From David Brooks' commentary on social fabric, to the failures of economic reporting, to the rise of a 24/7 surveillance society, the panel explores how reliance on numbers shapes policy, undermines liberty, and erodes trust in government.

    They discuss:

    • Why statism thrives on quantification and whether data can truly define freedom

    • The gap between statistics and lived experience in crime, inflation, and immigration

    • How cultural diversity and assimilation challenges impact the "American Dream"

    • The failures of traditional media and the public's growing skepticism

    • Whether America is drifting toward deeper state control—or resisting it

    If you care about liberty, personal freedom, and understanding the real forces shaping America today, this episode is for you.
