Thank you, and goodbye. Now it's your turn.
Episode 94 September 8, 2022My dear Out of Frame supporters.
On this special, final edition of Out of Frame, I want to take some time to thank you, talk about the future, discuss the state of ideas, and highlight the Steven Spielberg’s 1997 movie “Amistad” — which turns out to be the perfect vehicle for some of the things I want to say as I close out the show.
Freedom is the birthright, and the desire of virtually everyone on the planet, and yet the enemies of liberty are everywhere — power-hungry politicians and bureaucrats, “strong men” authoritarians, technocrats, socialists, and cowardly citizens — so the battle to maintain a world built on individual liberty and the dignity of human beings will never be definitively won for all time.
Fighting for a free society requires a passionate, energetic minority to carry the torch and persuade others with open hearts and open minds. It’s a task I’ve dedicated my life towards, and I’m leaving FEE and this series so that I can work on even bigger projects and try to make an even greater impact than I hope I’ve had here.
So with this final episode of Out of Frame, I wanted to challenge you to pick up where I’m leaving off. It’s YOUR turn to get creative, and I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Cheers,
Sean W. Malone
