Tom Woods and Scott Horton discuss Woods' new book, "Diary of a Psychosis: How Public Health Disgraced Itself During Covid Mania." The book is a detailed account of the COVID-19 response, capturing the day-to-day developments and irrationalities. Woods highlights the ineffectiveness of government-imposed restrictions, using empirical evidence and personal narratives. The conversation touches on the psychological impact of the pandemic, government overreach, and the importance of preserving these stories. Woods emphasizes how his book, written as a form of therapeutic record-keeping, aims to provide a historical account and counterbalance to the prevailing narrative. Horton praises the book for its factual base and potential to persuade skeptics. The show also discusses the libertarian perspective on these issues, underscoring the significance of the book in the current socio-political context.
