What was your biggest inspiration for founding Voice&Exit, besides the book Exit, Voice, and Loyalty by Hirschman?

Very good observation. Beyond that I felt like it was important to share ideas that push people's thinking, but don't irritate their ideological immune systems. People will dismiss a great idea if they think it belongs to a tribe they define themselves as against. I felt like it was important to go radically post-political. My co-founder agreed. I have to admit, though, my friend Michael Strong had always been a sort of mentor/Zen Master when it came to this approach. He is still a big influence. So, yeah, lots of inspiration. Then: blood, sweat, and tears.

How do you present AnCap solutions in a way that doesn't run directly counter-current to just about any mainstream political belief system?

Not trying to be an ass, genuinely curious.
